Imperial Germany Revisited
The German Empire, its structure, its dynamic development between 1871 and 1918, and its legacy, have been the focus of lively international debate that is showing signs of further intensification as we approach the centenary of the outbreak of World War I. Based on recent work and scholarly arguments about continuities and discontinuities in modern German history from Bismarck to Hitler, well-known experts broadly explore four themes: the positioning of the Bismarckian Empire in the course of German history; the relationships between society, politics and culture in a period of momentous transformations; the escalation of military violence in Germany's colonies before 1914 and later in two world wars; and finally the situation of Germany within the international system as a major political and economic player. The perspectives presented in this volume have already stimulated further argument and will be of interest to anyone looking for orientation in this field of research.
In the Public Eye
During the 1884 inauguration of the Royal Hungarian Opera House in Budapest, political elites staged a gala concert in the auditorium while the angry crowd, excluded from this ceremony, demonstrated on the street. In 1917, the crowds queuing to a Béla Bartók premiere needed to be forcibly held back. The book follows the history of the contested institution through a series of scandals, public protests, repertoire controversies and their representation in the urban press of the time. Such conflicts often led to larger issues that concerned the Opera House as a music institution, the birth of the modern public sphere and the modern audience. Thereby, the book calls for a critical rethinking of the cultural history of Budapest and Hungary in the late Habsburg Monarchy.

Cancer Signaling
Cancer, which has become the second-most prevalent health issue globally, is essentially a malfunction of cell signaling. Understanding how the intricate signaling networks of cells and tissues allow cancer to thrive - and how they can be turned into potent weapons against it - is the key to managing cancer in the clinic and improving the outcome of cancer therapies. In their ground-breaking textbook, the authors provide a compelling story of how cancer works on the molecular level, and how targeted therapies using kinase inhibitors and other modulators of signaling pathways can contain and eventually cure it. The first part of the book gives an introduction into the cell and molecular biolo...

Making a Balanced Vaccination Decision
A guide for parents looking for balanced information about vaccinations. While not afraid to be vaccination-critical, sometimes strongly so, the book presents data both positive and negative about vaccinations, sourced from official bodies and peer-reviewed journal articles. Each Disease Chapter examines how effective vaccinations have been and what the risk from the disease is. The Vaccine Chapters analyse the safety and efficacy of each vaccine used in the UK. The USA and other English-speaking countries use different vaccines but most of the data is transferable and applicable internationally. If you are a parent looking for balanced information about vaccinations, this ebook is for you.

Familial Cancer and Prevention
A New Strategy Toward Cancer Control. Still in its infancy, the familial/hereditary approach to cancer control is proving to be one of the most potent strategies in the war on cancer. Over the past few years the human genome project has generated an abundance of valuable information on the genetic origins of a range of cancers. Tests now exist for several hereditary, tumor-promoting genetic mutations-including those found in BRCA genes associated with breast cancer as well as mutations of HNPCC genes which have been linked to colon cancers-and many more are anticipated in the near future. Armed with the information yielded by these tests, physicians have already saved countless lives through...
