This magical volume presents the startling world of illusion in design as employed by today s architects, interior designers, furniture designers, and others at work bending the appearance of reality for purposes of aesthetics or practicality or fun. From a faux bookcase that masks a room or Prohibition-style bar, to the mind-boggling Escher-like effects achieved by Casa Ceramica, whose optical illusion of a floor dips into valleys and rises into mounds (but is in reality flat), the book is a revelation and an inspiration. It offers to us the possibility that nearly anything can be done, if it can be imagined even in our own homes. The authors look at residences across the globe, as well as spaces beyond the home, that utilize a myriad of surprising techniques. Included are projects by up-and-coming designers, such as Studio Malka and Vector Architects, as well as more established practitioners, such as Ferguson and Shamamian, G. P. Schafer, Peter Pennoyer, Robert A. M. Stern, and others.

Molecular recognition undoubtedly governs any aspect of cellular interaction. To understand tumor cell growth regulation and spread, analysisof protein carbohydrate interactions can contribute to lead to the establishment of rational methods for diagnosis and therapy. Chemically and biochemically optimized preparation of adequate tools, their application for localization of receptor (tissue lectin) and ligand (cellular glycoconjugate) pairs in tumor cells and tumor sections and the usefulness of a lectin from a plant extract as potent immunomodulator indicate the prospect for a place of such techniques in pathology and oncology.

In den letzten 3 Jahren ungefahr ist in wissenschaftlichen und industriellen Kreisen das Interesse fUr eine neue "Glassorte," die wohl sicher eine groBe Zukunft hat, besonders rege geworden. Um nun auch weitere Kreise auf dies en neuen Industriezweig, die Quarzglasfabrikation, aufmerksam zu machen, habe ich mich VOl' Antritt meiner hiesigen Stellung unterfangen, im folgenden eine genaue geschichtliche Entwickelung des Quarzglases von den ersten Versuchen auf diesem Gebiete an, soweit mir die Angaben dariiber zuganglich waren, sowie eine Zusammenstellung del' Fabrikationsmethoden, del' Eigenschaften und Verwendungen des Quarzglases zu geben. Hierbei bin ich in freundlichster Weise von verschiedenen Seiten unterstiitzt worden. Vor allem habe ich meinem friiheren hochgeschatzten Lehrer Herrn Geh. Reg.-Rat Prof. Dr. O.N. Witt Charlottenburg fUr die Anregung zu diesel' Arbeit meinen ver bindlichsten Dank abzustatten. Ganz besonderen Dank sage ich auch an dieser Stelle del' "Deutschen Quarzgesellschaft, Aktien gesellschaft" in Beuel-Bonn, die mil' in liebenswiirdigstel' Weise mit Literaturangaben und Dberlassung von Quarzglas beratend zur Seite gestanden hat. Ebenso danke ich herzlichst del' Firma W. C. Heraeus-Hanau fUr die mil' freundlichst zur Verfiigung gestellte Literaturzusammenstellung, sowie auch dem Herrn Professor Mehner-Berlin, dem ich sehr viele Anregungen und Rat schlage fiir diese Arbeit verdanke.
