Lipids and Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance is central to the development of a cluster of prevalent conditions including Type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemias, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Scientists' current understanding of the etiology of insulin resistance is limited and few therapies are available. However, it is clear that the understanding of lipid metabolism and of lipids in their many forms and functions provides the keys to unlocking the mysteries of insulin resistance. In this volume, an international group of investigators from a range of lipid-related disciplines explores new ideas for therapeutic targets.

Rather than introducing a new history of "rediscovered" women artists, the book is more concerned with understanding the mechanisms and structures that affected women artists ...

The Making of Green Engineers
This book discusses the ways in which engineering educators are responding to the challenges that confront their profession. On the one hand, there is an overarching sustainability challenge: the need for engineers to relate to the problems brought to light in the debates about environmental protection, resource depletion, and climate change. There are also a range of societal challenges that are due to the permeation of science and technology into ever more areas of our societies and everyday lives, and finally, there are the intrinsic scientific and technological challenges stemming from the emergence of new fields of "technosciences" that mix science and technology in new combinations.
