Overview: One of the first studies of the full career of M S Gorbachev as Soviet leader, this book traces his seven-year struggle to reform the Soviet system and his failure to preserve it. Mr Miller analyses characteristics of Gorbachev that puzzled the West - his reformist gradualism, his relationship to the Communist party, his attitudes to communism, revolution, democracy and nationalism - and explores their role in the collapse of Soviet power.978-1-349-22459-3

Overview: Very affordable price *.For the personal libraries of graduates and scientists working at the cutting edge of academic, industrial and pharmaceutical research.Biological chemistry is a major frontier of inorganic chemistry. Three special volumes devoted to .Metal Sites in . .Proteins and. .Models. address the questions: how unusual ("entatic") are metal sites in metalloproteins and metalloenzymes compared to those in small coordination complexes? and if they are special, how do polypeptide chains and co-factors control this? The chapters deal with iron, with metal centres acting as L

Overview: A first in multimodal/multisemiotic discourse studies this collection of original articles by international scholars focuses primarily on texts from non-English speaking contexts. The illuminating insights enhance our understanding of how language and other semiotic resources construe specific cultural and social concerns.978-1-349-32140-7978-0-230-35534-7

Overview: The contents of this book was scrupulously designed and explicitly written.Ranging from the fundamental concepts to clinical applications, this book is composed of seventeen chapters organized in two Aberrant expression and function of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer have added a new layer of complexity to the understanding of development and progression of the disease state. It has been demonstrated that miRNAs have a crucial function in oncogenesis by regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. The expression signatures of miRNAs provide exciting opp

Overview: Molecular Biology of the Parathyroid is the first book to describe recent studies and discoveries in the field in detail..This title is essention reading for enocrinologists and all researchers workinaintaining extracellular calcium concentrations within a narrow range is critical for the survival of most vertebrates. PTH, together with vitamin D, responds to hypocalcemia to increase extracellu­ M lar calcium levels, by acting on bone, kidney and intestine. The recent intro­ duction of PTH as a major therapeutic agent in osteoporosis has directed renewed interest in this important ho

Overview: Giovanni Lamura untersucht die Zusammenhänge, die zwischen den Lebensläufen in Deutschland und Italien lebender ausländischer Migranten und den auf lokaler Ebene in beiden Ländern getroffenen ausländerpolitischen Maßnahmen bestehen. Der empirische Vergleich wird auf zwei Ebenen verfolgt. Einerseits stellt der Autor Interviews mit Migranten vor, die zu den zahlreichsten Zuwanderergruppen gehören; andererseits analysiert er ausländerpolitisch relevante Beschlüsse der Bremischen Bürgerschaft sowie des Stadtrats Bologna im Zeitraum 1987 bis 1993.Die sich aus dieser Untersuchung ergebende

Overview: The main objective of this book is to systematically describe the basic principles of the most widely used techniques for the analysis of physical, structural, and compositional properties of solids with a spatial resolution of approxi­ mately 1 ~m or less. Many books and reviews on a wide variety of microanalysis techniques have appeared in recent years, and the purpose of this book is not to replace them. Rather, the motivation for combining the descriptions of various mi­ croanalysis techniques in one comprehensive volume is the need for a reference source to help identify microan

Overview: Over the last three decades, Europe‘s generous social benefits have encouraged a massive surge of ‘welfare migration,‘ especially of low skilled laborers. At the same time, the US has attracted many highly skilled migrants, which in turn promotes internal innovation.Restrictions on the international mobility of labor are arguably the largest policy obstructions for the international economy today. A variety of studies suggest that even a small reduction in barriers to migration will result in the growth of significant global welfare benefits. Migration States and Welfare States focus
