This book focuses on hormones, and on how they are produced in very diverse regions of the body in humans and animals. But hormones can be found not only in vertebrates, but also in insects, shellfish, spiders, mollusks, even at the origin of metazoan diversification and exhibit the same pathways of synthesis. The book addresses the different classes of hormones: protein/peptides hormones, steroids and juvenile hormones and hormones like catecholamines, thyroid hormones and melatonin. It also discusses the types of hormone receptors, the majority of which are heptahelical G-protein coupled receptors or nuclear receptors. Particular attention is paid to the organs where hormones are created, with specifics on hormonal production and release, while a dedicated chapter details hormonal regulation from very simple to highly complex schemes. The remarkable kinetics of hormones production are also shown, before the book is rounded out by chapters on evolution in the endocrine system, the genetics of endocrine diseases and doping.

Estate Landscapes in Northern Europe is the first study of the role of the landed estate as an agent in the shaping of landscapes and societies across northern Europe over the past five centuries. Leading us into the fascinating variations of manorial worlds, the present volume seeks to open the field to include a broader perspective on estate landscapes. Estate - or manorial - landscapes were distinctive elements within the historic landscape and created their own character. Marked by larger scale fields associated with the home or demesne farm as well as a higher proportion of woodland and timber trees the landscapes reflected the scale of the resources available to the landowner and the c...

Are violent national movements in a democratic Western Europe possible? The conflicts on Corsica and in the Basque country are evidence that they are. The book unveils the background and development of both conflicts within the structured framework of a comparative analysis. It presents the conflicts separately, giving a general overview of their backgrounds and developments. The two conflicts are compared by pointing out their similarities and differences. The diverging outcomes of the conflicts in the year 2000 are explained. Finally, the results of the comparison are applied to a theory of ethnic terrorism. The author: Wolfgang Büttner is a student in history, political science and economics at the Freie Universität Berlin, Germany. His special field of interest concerns ethnicity and ethnic conflict. In spring 2000, he was a fellow at the Department for Peace and Conflict Studies, Uppsala University, Sweden.
