Knowledge Matters

Essays in Honour of Bernard J. Shapiro

By: Bernard J. Shapiro

Knowledge Matters, written in honour of eminent Canadian educator Bernard J. Shapiro, explores the state and prospects of higher education in Canada and beyond. The contributors, a group of distinguished thinkers who participated in a colloquium in honour of Bernard J. Shapiro upon his retirement from the principalship of McGill University, draw from their vast experience and accomplishments in the worlds of scholarship, university administration, and the public and private sectors to demonstrate that knowledge matters. The contributors offer a variety of cautionary notes, neither despairing nor sanguine, about the future of higher education. Janice Gross Stein and Chaviva M. Hosek call upon universities and academics to contribute to policy development in a world that needs their expertise. Arnold Naimark and William Pulleybank favour collaborative relationships between universities and other institutional partners, while Bruce Trigger warns against the forces of utilitarianism and technological determinism. Claude Corbo explores competing intellectual traditions in Quebec higher education and Jean-Michel LaCroix traces the complex cultural and regional dynamics that shape university life in France. Peter McNally reviews the historical role of McGill University and several of its leaders on the Canadian educational landscape, while Hanna Gray identifies qualities characteristic of successful university presidents. Paul Axelrod describes the educational and career pathways of one of Canada's most accomplished educators, Bernard J. Shapiro, principal of McGill University from 1994 to 2001. A restaurateur, psychologist, dean of education, and deputy minister in the Ontario government, Shapiro's vocational choices were eclectic and always challenging. He was fascinated by the way people attain knowledge and worked to enable them to do so more successfully both within and outside educational institutions. He has left an indelible mark on Canadian educational life; this volume is a tribute to the respect he elicited among his colleagues and peers. Contributors include Paul Axelrod, Claude Corbo (Universit du Qubec), Hanna Gray (University of Chicago), Chaviva M. Hosek (Canadian Institute for Advanced Research), Jean-Michel LaCroix (Acadmie d'Aix-Marseille), Peter McNally (McGill University), Arnold Naimark (University of Manitoba), William Pulleybank (IBM), Janice Gross Stein (University of Toronto), and Bruce Trigger (McGill University).

Hydrolysis in Drug and Prodrug Metabolism

By: Bernard Testa,Joachim M. Mayer

Many drugs and other xenobiotics (e.g., preservatives, insecticides, and plastifiers) contain hydrolyzable moieties such as ester or amide groups. In biological media, such foreign compounds are, therefore, important substrates for hydrolytic reactions catalyzed by hydrolases or proceeding non-enzymatically. Despite their significance, until now, no book has been dedicated to hydrolysis and hydrolases in the metabolism of drugs and other xenobiotics. This work fills a gap in the literature and reviews metabolic reactions of hydrolysis and hydarion from the point of views of enzymes, substrates, and reactions.

Germfree and Gnotobiotic Animal Models

Background and Applications

By: Bernard S. Wostmann

The germfree animal is reared in the laboratory to be bacteria free; its counterpart, the gnotobiotic animal, is exposed to select microorganisms. The need for such an animal model for use in biomedical studies was first expressed by Pasteur in the late 1800s. Subsequent development of germfree and gnotobiotic animals led to an explosion of studies on the effects of microflora and its components on the physiology and metabolism of the host. Germfree and Gnotobiotic Animal Models brings together the most notable points of early and recent studies and gives reference to the most pertinent literature.
