Elsevier’s Encyclopaedia of Organic Chemistry

Series III: Carboisocyclic Condensed Compounds

By: Edith Josephy,F. Radt

When, a few years ago, the publication of Elsevier's Encyclo pa:dia of Organic Chemistry was suspended, it seemed desirable to complete-on account of its monographic character-the steroid section in accordance with the original conception. One conside ration in favour thereof, among others, was that the steroid section of Beilstein's Handbuch will not be available for some years to come, so that also to those using Beilstein the present publication is a valuable help in bridging the gap. In view of the undiminished activity in this special field- equally important to chemists, bio chemists, and the medical world - the hope that the completion of this section will meet the needs of a wide circle of readers ap pears tobe justified. Altogether three more volumes are planned for the Supplement, the first of which, now presented, covers the steroid Oxo-com pounds, the Iiterature having been consulted up to the end of 1946 in conformity with the previous volumes of the steroid Supplement. Where, however, important additions and correc tions are concerned, Iiterature up to the most recent date has been taken into account. In treating the subject matter the same prin ciples have been followed as in the previous volumes of this section. Editorship remains in the competent hands of Dr. F. RADT, who has contributed a considerable proportion of the matter treated in this volume. He is assisted by Dr. A. GEORG and Dr. DoRA STERN.

Aldosterone

International Series of Monographs in Pure and Applied Biology

By: Edith Gláz,Paul Vecsei

Aldosterone provides a comprehensive and detailed review of the problems that have arisen in the course of research on aldosterone, particularly with respect to their physiological roles and clinical implications. Topics covered include the biosynthesis, transport, and metabolism of aldosterone, as well as its biological activity and control of its secretion. A variety of pathological conditions, both acute and chronic, associated with aldosterone is also discussed. This volume is comprised of 10 chapters and opens with a historical background on aldosterone research, with emphasis on the discovery of the function of the adrenal cortex. The next chapter summarizes the methods suitable for the evaluation of aldosterone activity, from investigations of mineral metabolism to determination of the concentration of aldosterone or aldosterone metabolites; estimation of secretion of aldosterone; and examination of aldosterone metabolism. Subsequent chapters explore the biosynthesis, transport, and metabolism of aldosterone; secretion of aldosterone, factors affecting secretion, and how it can be controlled; pathological conditions caused by either an increase or a decrease in aldosterone secretion, including aldosteronism, Conn's syndrome, hypoaldosteronism, and hypomineralocorticism. The therapeutic uses of aldosterone are discussed in the last chapter. This book will appeal to biologists and biochemists.

Housing Policy in Latin American Cities

A New Generation of Strategies and Approaches for 2016 UN-HABITAT III

By: Peter M. Ward,Edith R. Jiménez Huerta,María Mercedes Di Virgilio

After the 1960s, rapid urbanization in developing regions in Latin America, Africa, and Asia was marked by the expansion of low-income "irregular" settlements that developed informally and which, by the 2000s, often constituted between 20-60 percent of the built-up area of metropolitan areas and other large cities. There has been a variety of research directed at the housing policies involved with these informal settlements, yet apart from the activities of Latin American Housing Network (LAHN), there has been minimal attention directed at the earliest portion of settlements that formed some 25-40 years ago that now form a large part of the intermediate ring of the cities. This volume breaks new ground by opening up a new generation of housing policy in Latin America cities with broader application for other developing countries. Its editors bring unique perspectives: Peter Ward coordinates the LAHN, and Edith Jiménez and María Di Virgilio are founding members of the network who have led project teams in Guadalajara and Buenos Aires respectively. Developed as a coordinated collaborative research project, the volume encompasses nine Latin American countries and eleven cities. The editors and contributors offer original perspectives on the policy challenges facing much of the low income housing of Latin American cities; document the changing nature of the "first suburbs"; present comparative survey findings in order to better understand the types of consolidated settlements that exist today; describe the physical nature of the dwellings themselves; identify the reasons behind market dysfunction that impede the operation of consolidated housing informal markets in Latin American cities; and outline a new generation of housing policies that will support the processes of densification, rehabilitation, and regeneration of these settlements. This book is the first and only composite overview of the research findings and advocacy of the generic policy lines that the LAHN identifies as central to a new generation of housing strategies and approaches. Researchers and practitioners working on housing theory, housing policy, comparative spatial and sociological research, and urban development issues will find the book highly significant.

Image and Pilgrimage in Christian Culture

By: Victor Turner,Edith Turner

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Image and Pilgrimage in Christian Culture

By: Victor Turner,Edith Turner

First published in 1978, Image and Pilgrimage in Christian Culture is a classic work examining the theological doctrines, popular notions, and corresponding symbols and images promoting and sustaining Christian pilgrimage. The book examines two major aspects of pilgrimage practice: the significance of context, or the theological conditions giving rise to pilgrimage and the folk traditions enabling worshippers to absorb the meaning of the event; and the images and symbols embodying the experience of pilgrimage and transmitting its visions in varying ways. Retelling its own tales of "mere mortals" confronted by potent visions, such as the man Juan Diego who found redemption with the Lady of Guadalupe and the poor French shepherdess Bernadette whose encounter with the Lady at Lourdes inspired Christians across the globe, this text treats religious visions as both paradox and empowering phenomena, tying them explicitly to the times in which they occurred. Offering vivid vignettes of social history, it extends their importance beyond the realm of the religious to our own conceptions of reality. Extensively revised throughout, this edition includes a new introduction by the theologian Deborah Ross situating the book within the work of Victor and Edith Turner and among the movements of contemporary culture. She addresses the study's legacy within the discipline, especially its hermeneutical framework, which introduced a novel method of describing and interpreting pilgrimage. She also credits the Turners with cementing the link between mysticism, popular devotion, and Christian culture, as well as their recognition of the relationship between pilgrimage and the deep spiritual needs of human beings. She concludes with various critiques of the Turners' work and suggests future directions for research.

Crossing Over

The Basics of Evolution : Workbook for Teachers

By: Edith Dempster

This workbook was developed to support Crossing Over, a pilot research programme for training teachers in contemporary science education (a project of the Human Sciences Research Council and the Africa Genome Initiative). The project aimed to equip educators with the necessary skills and knowledge to deal with changes in the Natural Sciences and Life Sciences curricula. The workbook provides key content necessary for teaching concepts recently introduced in these curricula: comparative functioning, relationships and the development of change, or evolution. This is an interactive, well-illustrated workbook that helps teachers to build their own understanding of genes, the mechanisms of inheritance and selection - the basic principles of evolution. It is divided into two parts, with the first intended to supplement the work of General Education and Training (GET) teachers, and the second providing support for Further Education and Training (FET) teachers.

The Worthy of My Race

Social Sketches

By: Edith Moss Jackson

. Trans. Edith Moss Jackson The Worthy of My Race: Social Sketches, is a bilingual edition of Jorje Miguel Fords biographies, published in 1899. The United Nations, declaring that 2012 initiates the Decade of the Afrodescendant, encourages the recovery of such texts. This translation broadens readership of the biographies to English speakers, while offering the Spanish text for others desiring the original. Fords difficult style required that the translator render the text with flexibility. Ford selected fourteen Afro-Argentine men as motivational icons for contemporary Afro-Argentine youths who, like the massive waves of European immigrants, were unaware of the Afrodescendants crucial contributions to the nations construction and development. These biographies, with original photographs, document the achievements of Afro-Argentines that challenged the prevailing racialized ideologies of the period.
