Ana of the Rio Grande
Nine year old Ana Martinez travels to the United States with her mother. Struggling to find her way in a new country, she faces overwhelming obstacles and challenges. With the help of a four-legged friend, Ana discovers that she is not alone and that there is much more to the world than she has ever known. A story of love and pain, of struggle and perseverance, the American dream and of childhood innocence, Ana's story will resound with the echoes of immigrant voices that are not always heard but are in the shadows with many children across classrooms in America.
Illegal People
For two decades photojournalist David Bacon has documented the connections between labor, migration, and the global economy. In Illegal People Bacon exposes the many ways globalization uproots people in Latin America and Asia, driving them to migrate. At the same time, U.S. immigration policy makes the labor of those displaced people a crime in the United States. Bacon makes his case through interviews and on-the-spot reporting both from impoverished communities abroad and from immigrant workplaces and neighborhoods here. He analyzes NAFTA's corporate tilt as a cause of displacement and migration from Mexico and shows that criminalizing immigrant labor also benefits employers. He argues that immigration and trade policy are elements of a single economic system. Bacon traces the development of illegal status back to slavery and shows the human cost of treating the indispensable labor of millions of migrants--and the migrants themselves--as illegal. Illegal People argues for a sea change in the way we think, debate, and legislate around issues of migration and globalization, promoting a human rights perspective throughout a globalized world.
Emerging Drugs and Targets for Alzheimer's Disease
This volume describes the discovery and development history of the most promising drugs now in development for combating Alzheimer's disease.
Emerging Drugs and Targets for Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex disease with a presumed autoimmune aetiology and few current effective treatments. Disease modifying therapies focus on the altering the natural course of relapsing and remitting MS, targeting the inflammatory response. Other targets involve tacking the cause of the disease – demyelination of axons through remyelination therapies. Due to several recent breakthroughs in the understanding of the pathophysiology of MS new targets for remyelination and immunomodulation are rapidly emerging. This book provides a comprehensive overview of drug discovery and development for the molecular basis of the disease, from new targets to drugs currently in clinical development, cellular and animal disease models to biomarkers for diagnosis and assessment in clinical trials. Emerging Drugs and Targets for Multiple Sclerosis is an ideal reference for any student or researcher interested in drug development for neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases and MS in particular.
Numerical Mathematics and Advanced Applications
The European Conference on Numerical Mathematics and Advanced Applications (ENUMATH) is a series of conferences held every two years to provide a forum for discussion on recent aspects of numerical mathematics and their applications. The ?rst ENUMATH conference was held in Paris (1995), and the series continued by the one in Heidelberg (1997), Jyvaskyla (1999), Ischia (2001), Prague (2003), and Santiago de Compostela (2005). This volume contains a selection of invited plenary lectures, papers presented in minisymposia, and contributed papers of ENUMATH 2007, held in Graz, Austria, September 10–14, 2007. We are happy that so many people have shown their interest in this conference. In addit...

The Emergent Container in Psychoanalysis
Drawing largely from the psychoanalytic ground of Jung, Bion and Winnicott, from Plato and Whitehead and from numerous clinical studies, this book explores ‘Absence’ and ‘Future’ in the context of their many emotional and conceptual meanings. Bringing together absence and future with Plato’s concept of the ‘receptacle’ as described in the Timaeus and with Whitehead’s handling of it, the author examines containment in psychoanalytic process. Here Jung’s concept of ‘container’ (Tavistock Lectures, 1935) is in an ancient and continuing tradition of process thinking. The term ‘emergent container’ has been coined as the metaphorical and metaphysical space where the inter...
