Cellular and Molecular Physiology of Cell Volume Regulation

By: Kevin Strange

The ability to regulate cell volume in the face of osmotic challenge is one of the most fundamental of cellular homeostatic mechanisms. Cellular and Molecular Physiology of Cell Volume Regulation is an integrated collection of articles describing key aspects of cell volume control. The book has been organized around concepts and cellular/molecular processes rather than around mechanisms of volume regulation in specific cell types in order to make it more accessible to a multidisciplinary audience of students, instructors, and researchers.

Continental Ambitions

Roman Catholics in North America: The Colonial Experience

By: Kevin Starr

Kevin Starr has achieved a fast-paced evocation of three Roman Catholic civilizations Spain, France, and Recusant England as they explored, evangelized, and settled the North American continent. This book represents the first time this story has been told in one volume. Showing the same narrative verve of Starr's award-winning Americans and the California Dream series, this riveting but sometimes painful history should reach a wide readership. Starr begins this work with the exploration and temporary settlement of North America by recently Christianized Scandinavians. He continues with the destruction of Caribbean peoples by New Spain, the struggle against this tragedy by the great Dominican Bartolom矤e Las Casas, the Jesuit and Franciscan exploration and settlement of the Spanish Borderlands (Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Baja, and Alta California), and the strengths and weaknesses of the mission system. He then turns his attention to New France with its highly developed Catholic and Counter-Reformational cultures of Quebec and Montreal, its encounters with Native American peoples, and its advance southward to New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. The volume ends with the founding of Maryland as a proprietary colony for Roman Catholic Recusants and Anglicans alike, the rise of Philadelphia and southern Pennsylvania as centers of Catholic life, the Suppression of the Jesuits in 1773, and the return of John Carroll to Maryland the following year. Starr dramatizes the representative personalities and events that illustrate the triumphs and the tragedies, the achievements and the failures, of each of these societies in their explorations, treatment of Native Americans, and translations of religious and social value to new and challenging environments. His history is notable for its honesty and its synoptic success in comparing and contrasting three disparate civilizations, albeit each of them Catholic, with three similar and differing approaches to expansion in the New World.

Large Viscous Boundary Layers for Noncharacteristic Nonlinear Hyperbolic Problems

By: Guy Métivier,Kevin Zumbrun

Studies two types of integral transformation associated with fractional Brownian motion, that are applied to construct approximation schemes for fractional Brownian motion by polygonal approximation of standard Brownian motion. This approximation is the best in the sense that it minimizes the mean square error.

The Ro(g)-Graded Equivariant Ordinary Homology of G-Cell Complexes with Even-Dimensional Cells for G=z

The Ro(g)-Graded Equivariant Ordinary Homology of G-Cell Complexes with Even-Dimensional Cells for G=z

By: Kevin K. Ferland

It is well known that the homology of a CW-complex with cells only in even dimensions is free. The equivariant analog of this result for $G$-cell complexes is, however, not obvious, since $RO(G)$-graded homology cannot be computed using cellular chains. This book considers $G = \mathbb{Z}/p$ and studies $G$-cell complexes.

The RO(G)-graded Equivariant Ordinary Homology of G-cell Complexes with Even-dimensional Cells for G

By: Kevin K. Ferland,L. Gaunce Lewis

In this warm and accessibly written study - the first major consideration of old age in Western philosophy and literature since Simone de Beauvoir's The Coming of Age - Helen Small ranges widely from the writings of Plato through to recent philosophical work by Derek Parfit, Bernard Williams and others, and from Shakespeare's King Lear through works by Thomas Mann, Balzac, Dickens, Beckett, Stevie Smith, Larkin, to more recent writing by Bellow, Roth, and Coetzee. A groundbreaking book that is likely to alter the way in which we talk about one of the great social concerns of our time.

Bald!

From Hairless Heroes to Comic Combovers

By: Kevin Baldwin

It’s the perfect antidote to Bloomsbury’s hit hair trilogy, Bad Hair, Big Hair, and The Mullet: Kevin Baldwin’s comprehensive book on the history and nature of baldness. Bald! takes us into the world of those whose heads are covered by more air than hair. Entertaining but also extensively researched, Bald! examines the cultural and sociological history of baldness—its varied significance (from wisdom to impending misfortune), the oddball theories on its cause (from too much cycling to excessive sex), and its outrageous “cures” (from rubbing the scalp with bat milk to the more extreme measure of castration). Baldwin goes on to tackle the finer points of drugs, plugs, snake-oil miracle cures, the pluses and perils of rugs and combovers, and psychological tricks for overcoming the stigma. Complete with a hairless history of the world and notes on shining contemporary examples, from Julius Caesar to Michael Jordan, Bald! is a fantastic tour through a subject that’s anything but barren.
