Arf Family Gtpases

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 13:05:54 +0000

For the first time experts in the area of signalling research with a focus on the ARF family have contributed to the production of a title devoted to ARF biology. A comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the ARF family, tables of the ARF GEFs and ARF GAPs, and more than a dozen chapters describing them in detail are provided. The impact of the ARF proteins on widely diverse aspects of cell biology and cell signalling can be clearly seen from the activities described; including membrane traffic, lipid metabolism, receptor desensitization, mouse development, microtubule dynamics, and bacterial pathogenesis. Anyone interested in understanding the complexities of cell signalling and the integration of signalling networks will benefit from this volume.

Church Without Walls: A Global Examination of Cell Church by Michael Green, ISBN 1842271393

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 07:03:59 +0000

The decline of the traditional church in the West has met with the emergence of new ways of being the people of God. One of these is the phenomenal growth of cell churches -- small groups of committed Christians meeting in homes and spawning new cells with enthusiasm. Whilst the cell church movement is still small in most Western countries, it is likely to become a major player in the church of the future. In countries like China, Singapore and Malaysia it is the most popular vehicle for their extraordinary explosion of Christianity. Church Without Walls: A Global Examination of Cell Church brings together a number of scholars and church leaders from across the world to examine and critique the natures, values and growth of the cell church movement.

Cell Cycle: Materials and Methods by Michele Pagano, ISBN 3540580662

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:11:04 +0000

During their lifetime, especially when growing and dividing, cells go through various steps of the cell cycle. Knowledge of the individual steps of the cell cycle will help us understand the development of a variety of diseases better, including cancer, and also to design new drugs against it. New techniques for studying the molecular basis of these processes have recently been developed and are described in detail in this manual.
A glossary helps the reader to cope with the complex cell cycle terminology.

Fast Families, Virtual Children

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 04:49:53 +0000

The Internet, cell phones, and other technologies have changed the ways in which people conduct their family lives, raise children, and navigate the blurry boundary between work and home. Private life is colonized by employers, teachers, corporations; family time is taken up by work, homework, and shopping. What it means to be parents and children has changed dramatically.

Fuel Cell Technology Handbook by Martin G. Hogarth, ISBN 0849308771

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 03:45:07 +0000

Rapid advances in fuel cell system development have left the latest information scattered throughout the literature. The even faster race toward fuel cell commercialization further leaves the objectivity of many Internet articles open to question. Selecting and compiling the most important articles up to its publication, the Fuel Cell Technology Handbook provides one of the first comprehensive treatments of the technical and commercial aspects of high- and low-temperature fuel cells, fuel cell systems and catalysis, and fuel generation. It forms an authoritative basis for understanding fuel cell technology, applications, and commercial realities.
