Created Equal: A History of the United States, Volume 1 (Pearson+)

Understanding Immunology is a well-established introduction to this complex subject for readers with no previous exposure. It is aimed primarily at undergraduates in biological sciences, biomedical sciences and medicine. The selection and order of topic coverage is designed to instruct effectively, and a variety of boxed examples add depth and historical context for those readers wanting to go beyond the essentials. The first part of the book (Chapters 1 to 11) takes students through the pathogenesis of infectious diseases and describes the molecules, cells and tissues of the immune system that provide protection against a wide variety of pathogens. It also describes how mankind has utilised the immune system, from the development of vaccines to the production of reagents for use in the clinic and laboratory. The final four chapters describe how the immune system operates in disease situations such as allergy, autoimmunity and transplantation. This third edition is revised to cover the latest experimental and clinical changes in the subject, particularly those in the development of lymphocytes; the different types of CD4 helper T cells; the use of antibodies, including monoclonal antibodies, as experimental and clinical tools; and immunological tolerance. Dr. Peter Wood is a Lecturer in the Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of Manchester. He has over 20 years of teaching experience, both in the UK and in the USA, and is widely published in the literature. His current research interest is the role of cytokines in the development of diabetes.

Eighteen-year-old Peter Wood's home life is a battleground. He hates his stepfather, whose vicious comments open new wounds every day. He hates his mother for marrying the guy. And his half-siblings heap even more misery on him at every turn. Tormented and lonely, Peter decides to start fighting back?literally?at a crumbling local gym. Soon, boxing becomes a personal ritual. His raging self-hatred makes him train that much harder. His fear of failure gives way to an animalistic intensity. Confessions of a Fighter is Peter's riveting memoir of his journey from underdog to hero. In this poignant psychological drama, the author finally ascends?after five grueling, heart-stopping qualifying bouts?to the finals of the NY Golden Gloves Championships. It is under the blinding lights of Madison Square Garden, facing tens of thousands of frenzied spectators, that Peter realizes what truly constitutes the measure of a man.

For the first time, there is one source of information on the numerous specialty or alternative grains that are today finding new niche markets. The grains covered in this comprehensive resource include einkorn, emmer, Kamut, spelt, waxy wheat, hulless barley, hairless canary seed (a newly developed cultivar for human consumption), hulless oats, specialty rye, specialty sorghum, blue and purple grains, amaranth, buckwheat, and organic grains. The book provides details of the history, genetic background, agronomic needs, and advantages and disadvantages of these crops, each described by experts in their field. The roles of the production of these grains in maintaining diversity and protecting the environment, and in contributing to food safety, nutrition, and health are discussed. Fact and fiction about cereal grains and celiac disease are covered. One chapter specifically addresses the relationship between grain consumption, health, and health claims. The work is timely, if not overdue, in the context of the rapid development of organic farming and the concerns of many over the safety and nutritional quality of the food supply, agronomic practices, the environment, and agricultural diversity. The book provides enough information to help the reader to reach informed conclusions about the issues involved in these emerging areas of interest. The compendium is fully referenced, allowing those interested to follow up on the information provided. This is particularly important for today s cereal and baking industry, as new pressures develop to produce food perceived as healthier, safe,r and more environmentally friendly. Undoubtedly, it will be a useful resource for the grain industry, ingredient manufacturers, food producers, new product developers, growers, and the informed consumer. It will contribute to a continuing development of the growing markets for food products that utilize specialty grains.
