I Came Home and There Was No One There
This book comprises interviews with some of the last surviving veterans of the Jewish Fighting Organization in the Warsaw ghetto, accompanied by never previously published photographic “postcards” from a number of ghettos, and a reconstruction of the only surviving contemporary list of those soldiers. The first part of the book, “Still Circling,” is a collection of interviews with the last surviving soldiers of the Jewish Fighting Organization (ŻOB), which fought in the Warsaw ghetto uprising. The section opens with an interview recorded in 1985 with ŻOB commander Marek Edelman, and ends with another conversation with him recorded in 2000. Grupińska’s other interlocutors are als...
Palestine, a Jewish Question
This volume is more about Jewish people than it is about Palestine, and it is, in turn, more about Palestine than it is about Israel, the latter only being mentioned in a secondary way. As such, this book isn’t addressed exclusively to readers of a single religious or cultural community. It’s addressed first and foremost to those who want to know more about the reasons behind the Israel-Palestine conflict and how to solve it. Although the violence with which the word “Palestine” is often associated remains a mystery for many people, it can be rationally explained. The book’s introduction reserves a few surprises and its conclusion offers readers contemporary perspectives in light o...
Ion Transport
Ion Transport is a collection of papers from the Smith Kline & French Research "Symposium on Ion Transport" held in Cambridge, on April 12-14, 1989. These papers focus on the plasma membrane, particularly on the three main classes of transporters, namely, pumps, exchangers, and channels. Some papers discuss the different experimental approaches from electrophysiological and ion flux measurements through pharmacology, molecular biology, electrostatics, and computer modeling. Other papers discuss the P-type cation pump, a class of ATP-driven ion pumps, which is determined from its subunit composition and from the results of the hydrolysis of ATP. Several papers explain the techniques used in i...
Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common fatal hereditary diseases. The discovery of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene 25 years ago set the stage for unraveling the pathogenesis of CF lung disease, continuous refinement of symptomatic treatments and the development of mutation-specific therapies, which are now becoming available for a subgroup of patients. This ERS Monograph provides an update on all aspects of CF lung disease, from infancy to adulthood, including current concepts on disease process, improvements in early diagnosis and monitoring, therapeutic approaches, and patient care. The book highlights important recent developments and discusses the next steps that will be required for further improvement of the life expectancy and quality of life of CF patients. It will be an essential reference for basic and clinical scientists and all members of the CF team.

Erinnerungen an das Warschauer Ghetto. Das Ghetto kämpft
Marek Edelman war einer der bekanntesten Untergrundaktivisten im Warschauer Ghetto, sein Bericht "Das Ghetto kämpft" über den Aufstand im April 1943 ist ein Klassiker der Widerstandsliteratur. Edelmans ganz persönliche Erinnerungen an den Ghettoalltag wurden allerdings erst Jahre nach seinem Tod entdeckt. Nun liegen seine Memoiren erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung vor. Mit großer Klarheit und unerschütterlichem Humor erzählt Edelman von Elend und Unterdrückung, aber auch vom Kampfgeist und der Findigkeit all jener, die sich gegen die NS-Gewalt zur Wehr setzten. Neben den neu übersetzten "Erinnerungen" macht der Band auch den lange vergriffenen Bericht "Das Ghetto kämpft" wieder zugänglich.

Ghetto de Varsovie
2 octobre 2009, Varsovie. Marek Edelman s’éteint. Figure de l’opposition au régime communiste polonais, il est célèbre d’abord pour avoir été l’un des dirigeants du soulèvement du ghetto de Varsovie en 1943. Membre du Bund, le mouvement socialiste des travailleurs juifs, il participe à ses publications clandestines. Quand les nazis décident de liquider le ghetto, il fait partie de ceux qui se savent condamnés mais ne veulent pas mourir sans combattre. Une poignée d’hommes contre une armée. Marek Edelman ne posait pas au héros. « Nous avions décidé de mourir les armes à la main. C’est tout. C’est plus facile que de donner ses habits à un Allemand et de marcher ...
