Placenta And Trophoblast: Methods And Protocols (Methods in Molecular Medicine) (Methods in Molecular Medicine) (Methods in Molecular Medicine)

Book Description

A collection of cutting-edge laboratory techniques for the study of trophoblast and placental biology. The techniques presented range from experimental animal models, to animal and human placental organ and cell culture systems, to morphological, biochemical, and molecular strategies for assessing trophoblast/placental growth, differentiation and function. Volume 1 provides readily reproducible protocols for studying embryo-uterine implantation, trophoblast cell development, and the organization and molecular characterization of the placenta. Highlights include strategies for the isolation and culture of trophoblast cells from primates, ruminants, and rodents, and precise guidance to the molecular and cellular analysis of the placental phenotype. A companion second volume concentrates on methods for investigating placental function.

Book Description

This book, covering the 39th Nestle Nutrition Workshop, is based on a presentation forum by international experts in placental function and fetal nutrition. The availability of new imaging and research techniques now permits broader studies in human pregnancy and basic research, better illustrating the association between clinical pathology and placental dysfunction and fetal malnutrition. The five sessions of the conference include a mixture of basic and clinical research topics; and follow the progress made in understanding placental transport and metabolism and its impact on human pregnancy. The illuminating presentations captured in this text offer a far more precise description of normal fetal growth and metabolism, along with the possibility of exploring how specific maternal diseases affect fetal and placental nutrition. Suggestions for potential therapeutic application to human pregnancies are discussed with sensitivity and insight.

Book Description

Early nineteenth-century America could just about be summed up by Henry David Thoreau's words when he said, "Eastward I go only by force, but westward I go free." It was an exuberant time for the diverse citizens of the United States, who included a range of folk, from mountain men and railroad builders to whalers and farmers, as they pushed forward into the open frontier and all their hopes and fears are captured in Liberty for All? In addition to colorful accounts of the massive westward migration, the California Gold Rush, a war with Mexico, the Oregon boundary conflict, Texas and the Alamo, Liberty for All? takes a deep look at the issue that began to gnaw at the country's core: How, in the land where "all men are created equal," could there be slaves?

The United States expands as it moves towards Civil War.......2003-08-03

"Liberty for All? 1820-1860" is the fifth volume in Joy Hakim's "A History of US," and focuses on the question of how slavery could exist in the land of the free. While this book clearly sets up the next volume, "War, Terrible War 1855-1865," which covers the Civil War, it also has some significant overlap with the previous volume, "The New Nation 1780-1850," which ends with the Compromise of 1850 that put off the coming war for a decade. There is not a neat and simple way of dividing up American history when covering the first half of the 19th-century, so it is not like there is an obvious solution to Hakim's problems of deciding where to end one book and begin the next.

Whereas "The New Nation" looks primarily at the on going political experiment that saw the creation of parties and the peaceful transition from Federalists to Democratic-Republicans, "Liberty for All?" is more about the slavery question in the context of the young nation's expansion. The volume begins with the story of Westward expansion along the Santa Fe Trail and other routes and ends with the story of the Underground Railroad. In between Hakim tells young readers about Mormons moving to Utah, Texas joining the Union, and gold being discovered in California. Opening up Japan to American trade and the Seneca Falls conference on the Rights of Women are also part of this period of American history.

This volume covers a lot of different topics from this time period. "The New Nation" has a much clearer sense of structure because it follows the administrations of the first presidents, but I think you can see four significant units in this book. The first (Chapters 1-20) deals with all the myriad aspects of western expansion, from the Mississippi to the west coast and beyond to Japan. The second (Chapters 21-26) focuses on the conditions faced by women and children during this time. The third (Chapters 27-31) focuses on the impact of the transcendentalists on philosophy and literature, from Thoreau and Melville to Whitman and Dickinson (including some choice poems) as well as Audubon and Caitlin. The final section (Chapters 32-38) is rather powerful dealing with the "Amistad" case, the Compromise of 1850, Stephen Douglas's "popular sovereignty" solution, the Dred Scott decision, and the idea that the entire issue of slavery was coming to head.

These books are all richly illustrated, almost exclusively with historic paintings, etching, drawings, cartoons, and the like. The margins are crammed with mini-biographies, definitions, lines of poetry, and suggestions for places where young readers can find more information about a topic. This series has a deserved reputation among parents who are home schooling their children because not only is it very informative, but Hakim makes a concerted effort to engage her young readers. She is constantly asking them to put themselves in the perspective of the people being written about, whether they are pioneers heading over the Rocky Mountains or slaves trying to find their way North to freedom. More importantly, Hakim has an innate ability to anticipate questions from her readers; you can count on her to explain "why" at the point where a student in class would be raising their hand to ask that very question.

Great Series.......2003-04-23

I bought this series for my wife so she could better understand the history of the US and improve her English language skills in an area of intense interest for her. In the end, I pored over these books and gave my wife little time with them. Written for kids but fabulous for adults with little time. Buy the index and you can find sources if you're interested in diving a little deeper on a particular topic. I hope to keep these books for out future child(ren?) and am sure they will find them intriguing. The series lets us know how magnificent a country we really live in and how dramatic the history really is. With all the turmoil and all the diversity, how do we manage to keep it together? And, there are plenty who take umbrage at the extensive coverage of race and gender equality but they really are at the root of so many of our societal problems, historically speaking.

Simply Outstanding.......2003-04-06

This highest praise I can give to this wonderful series by Joy Hakim is that my 11-year old son asks me every night, "Can we read some history?"

The books work magic in making history engaging. The well-written text, the illustrations, the text boxes with small but fascinating anecdotes -- all contribute to draw readers' interest. I have learned many new pieces of United States history from these books.

One small aspect of the books won me over from the start. In the introduction, Ms. Hakim tells readers that the Puritans, the founding fathers, the Native Americans are a part of every American, no matter how or when your family came to the United States - a "history of us." My children are binational, and reside overseas. I could tell when we read this part that the author's words spoke to them in a way few history books do.

Homeschooling Dream.......2000-05-10

Joy Hakim's entire series is a homeschoolers dream. The books are written so well and the pictures are so nice that interest is kept by both student and teacher.

Plain and simple showcase of business cards, with no particular attention in selection of shapes/materials, with no letterhead companions.

Many business cards are pretty standard, probably you can find some more creative cards on your own desk.

However, what do you expect from a business card book? Life keep being beautiful with or without this book....

Wether you are a graphic designer or you are just someone who wants to have a unique business card design and need a little inspiration, this book will surely help. This piece puts together the very best and the most uncommon designs from all over the world. See how designers from all continents achieve extraordinary results when making such visual impact in this small printed paper called Business Card.

Inspirational.......2000-06-27

As a young graphic designer, it is necessary to see what other artists invision and create. This book allows me not only to do that, but to go back to work feeling inspired and ready to create something new. There are excellent examples in this book of how artists are pushing the limit with the traditional business card. However, it also contains very reserved and traditional pieces that are done in a modern light. Also, it is a beautiful book to look at...clean, crisp, with information on printing style, paper, and other tools for each card.

A stunningly beautiful visual display........1998-08-28

As a person just starting to design letterheads and business cards, this book provided a feast for both my eyes and imagination. It also left me satisfied that I too have the ability to design letterhead and business cards that are as attractive and distinctive as those in the book.

The designs in the book range from the comic to the sophisticated. While many of the designs are for graphic artists and are therefore more graphically adventurous, there are also examples of work for: a dentist, neurosurgeon, glassblower, realtor, shopping mall, communications firm, and photographer among others.

In addition to having a plethora of design ideas, the book also has information on design and production costs. The only drawback to the book is that some of the papers used for the letterheads do not photograph well.
