Since the identification of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), most research efforts and publications have focused on the medical aspects of AIDS. Unfortunately, much of the earlier work on the social effect of HIV infection has been overshadowed by sophisticated technology. This book, a collection of papers from the November 1988 United Kingdom Conference on the Social Aspects of AIDS, is...

The words of Confucius define the architecture of this handbook. As editors, we made a decision to seek out a set of scholars that we agreed had conducted some of the most exciting and novel research in their areas of expertise in recent years, and who we felt were likely to play a leading role in shaping the agenda for consumer behavior research in the years to come. Although we left details o...

The initial edition of this book was published in 1974, as one of the first textbooks that tried to teach modern biochemistry with a clinical perspective. The recently revised fifth edition continues to be one of the few textbooks in biochemistry that focuses primarily on clinical aspects of biochemistry and thus remains a useful book for health science students. Interestingly, the first chapte...

In the first chapter of this book we identified the interdependence of method, data and theory as an important influence on the progress of science. The first several chapters focused mostly on progress in theory, in the areas of integrating spatial and temporal complexity into ecological analysis, the emergence of landscape ecology and its transformation into a multi-scale gradient-based scien...

The volume includes five superfamilies of the Order Plagiorchiida (Gorgoderoidea Looss, 1899; Microphalloidea Ward, 1901; Monorchioidea Odhner, 1911; Opisthorchioidea Looss, 1899; and Plagiorchioidea Lühe, 1901) and the family Didymozoidae Monticelli, 1888 of the Order Strigeida which was omitted from Volume 1.

This field is concisely reviewed, permitting the non-expert to understand discussions on the molecular aspects of viral structure and function. After a review of current trends the authors present the story of eukaryotic viruses, stressing the interface between molecular and cellular biology...

This book commences without an introduction that should have been dedicated to laying out the overall aims of the book, presumably to offer companies (and students of business administration and related subjects) a clear picture and pathway for addressing sustainability issues where they are concerned. After presenting the concept of sustainability in the first chapter, the second aims to lay t...
