January 2022Infectious Fungi, Second Edition
by Brian R. Shmaefsky, Ph.D. and David L. Brock
Fungi are much more than moldy creatures that decompose old food. In fact, infectious fungi are among the most common disease-causing agents in the world. Whether afflicted with ringworm or thrush, nearly all people will contract a fungus at least once. While most cases produce only annoying consequences, some can be quite deadly. Millions in the tropics die each year from this disease, and the problem is becoming more and more common in the United States. In Infectious Fungi, Second Edition students will learn about the symptoms, ailments, and treatment options of a variety of infectious fungi, as well as the challenges now facing the treatment of this disease and the growing threat to public health.

July 2006Psychiatrie, Psychoanalyse und die neue Biologie des Geistes
by Eric R. Kandel, Judith L. Rapoport, Thomas R. Insel, Arnold M. Cooper, Donald F. Klein, Joseph LeDoux, Charles F. Zorumski, John M. Oldham, Gerhard Roth, Herbert Pardes, Michael Bischoff, Jürgen Schröder
Dem Nobelpreisträger Eric R. Kandel gebührt das Verdienst, das bis dahin gänzlich unerkundete Gebiet der Beziehungen zwischen Neurobiologie und Psychoanalyse erschlossen zu haben. Heute ist es eines der spannendsten und zugleich innovativsten Felder der Wissenschaften überhaupt. Eric R. Kandel, der, in Österreich geboren und aufgewachsen, in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus in die Vereinigten Staaten emigrierte, hat fraglos diesem Wissenschaftszweig die maßgeblichen Impulse gegeben. Kaum ein anderer Bereich hat derart spektakuläre Forschungsergebnisse vorzuweisen, die zugleich unser Bild des Menschen revolutionieren, wie etwa die aufsehenerregende Entdeckung eines funktionellen Wandels einzelner Gehirnareale nach einer Psychotherapie. Die vorliegende Sammlung von Aufsätzen Eric R. Kandels lädt den Leser zu "einer der wichtigsten, bedeutsamsten und aufregendsten Forschungsreisen unserer Zeit ein" (Stuart C.Yudofsky): zu einer Erkundung der Funktionsweise des menschlichen Gehirns und der Möglichkeiten, durch die Psychoanalyse und die Psychiatrie auf diese Einfluß zu nehmen. Die leitende Idee ist dabei, daß ein Verständnis der biologischen Prozesse, die unser Lernen und Verhalten begleiten, auch entscheidend zu unserem Verständnis des Verhaltens und seiner Störungen beitragen kann. Der Band, den der Protagonist der deutschen Hirnforschungsdebatte Gerhard Roth einleitet und der mit einer sehr persönlichen Einführung Eric R. Kandels beginnt, bietet einen konzisen Überblick dieser Revolution der psychiatrischen Forschung.

Forestry & related industriesOctober 2005Forestry and Environmental Change
Socioeconomic and Political Dimensions
by Edited by John L Innes, G Hickey, H F Hoen
Considerable emphasis has been placed on the interactions between environmental change and forests in recent years. Reports have been produced detailing scenarios of forest development associated with particular changes in climate. Similarly, scenarios have been produced looking at likely trends in air quality. However, many studies have failed to recognize that some of the biggest changes for forests are related to the socioeconomicenvironment rather that the physical environment. This book considers the interactions between forestry and environmental (climatic) change, from social and economic perspectives.
