Each of the essays in this collection dissects the upheaval in a particular institution in transition, such as central banking, the trade union movement, capital markets, or corporate governance. In a lively and accessible style, the authors bring out the links between what was and what will be in the social fabric of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. They expose the fragility of political and economic institutions that can easily threaten the region's rebirth, but they also believe that many post-Communist countries are successfully seizing the opportunity to become reunited with the West and the global economy.
Case Studies in Allergic Disorders is designed for undergraduate and graduate students in immunology, medical students, and resident physicians. It describes the basic cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of commonly occurring allergic diseases and introduces the rationale for targeted treatment of allergy. Replicating the successful approach of Case Studies in Immunology, the book presents mechanisms of hypersensitivity through a selection of clinical cases that reinforce and extend the basic science. The cases are largely drawn from the records of Children‘s Hospital Boston. Linking the discussion of pathogenesis to actual clinical presentation establishes important connections between the bench and bedside. The book can be used as either a stand-alone text or asa companion to Janeway‘s Immunobiology and The Immune System.

A few years in our future, Ken Murphy is a National Guard Colonel and senior manager at a factory in tranquil Highview, West Virginia. When the local economy is thrown into a tailspin by a plant shutdown, Murphy is thrown out of work, with no way to pay for medical care for his son.

As the conflict intensifies, politicians on both sides refuse to back down or compromise, tipping the nation into a bloody civil war.
"In the aftermath of Japan's devastating attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, thousands of American troops serving in the Philippines were invaded by Japanese air, sea, and land forces, necessitating a hurried retreat by Christmas Day to the nearby Bataan Peninsula and the island of Corregidor in Manila Bay. U.S. Army Air Corps Sergeant James T. Murphy and his fellow defenders of Bataan and Corregidor held off the enemy in a stand against overwhelming odds while awaiting the promise of American reinforcements that would never come."--Jacket.
