The HLA molecules are important regulators of the immune response
through mediating antigen presentation and interaction between key
immune mediating cells. They are also the major histocompatibility
barriers to transplantation, which is the clinical paradigm of the
self versus non self concept. It is now recognized that this
diverse range of gene systems involved in the control of the immune
response have been shown to be important in many aspects of
clinical practice. As a result many new molecular and cellular
methods have been developed for identifying these genes and their
polymorphisms, and immunogenetic laboratories specializing in these
methods have developed to support transplantation and other
clinical programs. Immunogenetics: Methods and Applications in
Clinical Practice focuses on methods for human clinical practice.
The emphasis rests on those assays which are of established or
potential clinical utility and are likely to be included in the
repertoire of tests provided by a routine diagnostic and service
laboratory. This volume also contains several review chapters of
the MHC complex, the KIR complex, the human immunoglobulin
allotypes, as well as reviews of the methods for the detection of
alloreactive NK cells and the detection of HLA antibodies by solid
phase assays. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular
Biology (TM) series format, chapters include introductions to their
respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents,
step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on
troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and
easily accessible, Immunogenetics: Methods and Applications in
Clinical Practice seeks to serve both the immunogenetics community
and the wider scientific community with a collection of detailed
information and helpful tips attained by many years of experience
in the field.
This edited book fills a gap in the literature on EU-Asia
relations. The European Union and Asia are two regions undergoing
significant changes internally while at the same time developing
stronger relations with each other. In the context of an emerging
multi-polar world, Europe and Asia are seen
as major actors, making their relations increasingly crucial for
the understanding of global politics. The Handbook is distinctive
because it constitute a thoroughly comprehensive collection of more
than 40 contributions from a variety of disciplines and
perspectives, bringing together leading authors in their respective
fields. Contributors come from Europe, Asia, North America and
Australia, thereby providing a genuinely global perspective on this
important topic.
The Handbook is structured along several key dimensions in the
relationship, ensuring that bilateral relations, multilateral
contexts, institutional aspects, the comparative dimension and the
global perspective, are all covered - a unique set of
contributions. In addition, sections look specifically at
political, economic and cultural relations between the two
regions.
The Handbook provides a comprehensive range of contributions on the
relations between the EU and Asia - two regions undergoing
significant changes internally yet also developing stronger
relations in the context of an emerging multi-polar world. It
collates some 40 contributions from various disciplines by
contributors from throughout the world.

Often lacking the clear episodic structure of folktales about
talking animals and magic objects, legends grow from retellings of
personal experiences. Christiansen isolated some seventy-seven
legend types, and many of these are represented here in absorbing
stories of St. Olaf, hidden treasures, witches, and spirits of the
air, water, and earth. The ugly, massively strong, but slow-witted
trolls are familiar to English-speaking readers. Less well-known,
but the subject of an enormous number of legends, are the more
manlike yet sinister ""huldre"-folk" who live in houses and try to
woo human girls. These tales reflect the wildness of Norway, its
mountains, forests, lakes, and sea, and the stalwart character of
its sparse population.
"The translation is excellent, retaining the traditional Norwegian
style . . . the tales themselves will also appeal to the interested
layman."--"Library Journal
