The Serpent and the Rose

The beautiful Averil is heir to the Duchy of Quitaine, in the Kingdom of Lys. She is a powerful mage, trained by the Ladies of the Isle, but when her father calls her home to take up her duties, she must leave that life behind. In her city of Fontevrai, she meets Gereint, raised as a common villager but greatly gifted in magic, a novice of the magical order of the Knights of the Rose.

Inside/outside

This analysis of how and why businesses buy outside legal services provides useful insights for businesses and law firms alike. In-house legal buyers at both Fortune 100 and new economy companies provide concrete examples of how some businesses have successfully and creatively restructured their in-house legal departments and their relationships with outside law firms. Included are many examples of firms that have successfully developed business and an examination of why other law firms fail at this important task. The subtle nuances that affect legal buying decisions and the impact of corporate globalisation, law firm mergers, and the advent of multidisciplinary practice groups are also explored.

Apolipoprotein E and Alzheimer’s Disease

There is now considerable genetic evidence that the type 4 allele of the apolipoprotein E gene is a major susceptibility factor associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease, the common form of the disease defined as starting after sixty years of age. The role of apolipoprotein E in normal brain metabolism and in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease are new and exciting avenues of research. This book, written by the most outstanding scientists in this new filed, is the first presentation of results concerning the implications of apolipoprotein E on the genetics, cell biology, neuropathology, biochemistry, and therapeutic management of Alzheimer's disease.

The book’s topics run a wide gamut of patient conditions (neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular), related problems (sleep and fatigue issues, depression) and practitioner responses (encouraging coping and compliance, pediatric and geriatric considerations). Models of disability and adaptation, review of competency concerns, and guidelines for group and individual therapy...

Mouse Models in the Study of Genetic Neurological Disorders

The number of mouse models that are available for the study of human genetic neurological disorders is large and growing rapidly. Therefore, it was difficult to select the models that were reviewed in this volume. Clearly, there are important models that are not discussed, and perhaps a volume twice this size would have been more appropriate. Moreover, the pace at which new models are being developed and analyzed is rapid. As this volume goes to press, I am sure that additional mouse genes responsible for naturally occurring neurological disorders are being discovered and that many new transgenic and mutant mouse strains are being developed. Therefore, this volume should not be viewed as a c...

Heterogeneity of Alzheimer’s Disease

Heterogeneity of Alzheimer’s Disease

The term "Alzheimer's disease" is currently used to refer to senile and also presenile dementia, but the heterogeneity of this disorder is demonstrated in many of its aspects. This is of great theoretical interest, and with the appearance of new therapeutic interventions, it may well also start to have very significant practical importance. To shed some light on the debate, the Fondation Ipsen organized an international symposium which took place on April 6, 1992. This volume contains the proceedings of this meeting, which was attended by researchers in epidemiology, clinical neurology and geriatrics, neuropsychology, neuropathology, molecular biology, and genetics.

Understanding Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease has received growing attention in recent years because the affected population is growing quickly as life spans in America creep ever upward. As they near retirement, many Americans start to fear that any minor memory lapse—misplacing the keys or forgetting a name—might spell Alzheimer’s. In reality, such incidents are a normal part of the aging process. In Alzheimer’s disease, such incidents progress to a point at which they interfere with normal daily activities on a regular basis, and memory loss becomes progressively more disabling. This book is written for anyone interested in learning more about Alzheimer’s disease—people who have it, their families and ...
