Sex-Based Differences in Lung Physiology
This book provides an overview of the latest experimental work on sex-based differences in lung function and inflammation. Readers will learn how these differences relate to individual predispositions for the development of lung disease in men and women, and in different stages of their reproductive lives. Further, the book focuses on diseases that predominantly affect women or men, with an emphasis on the physiological mechanisms underlying their pathobiology. In turn, these findings are complemented by chapters on recent studies, which investigate how circulating sex hormone levels impact the lung’s innate immune response to environmental agents and air pollution. The pathogeneses of asthma and viral respiratory infection are also major focus areas. As an outlook, the book also discusses current and future research directions aimed at developing sex-specific therapies for lung disease. To examine these anatomical and physiological differences in the male and female respiratory systems, the authors employ a broad range of methods from molecular and clinical biology. Accordingly, the book will be a fascinating read for physiologists and clinicians alike.

Die »zweite Sklaverei« ernähren
Auf den Sklavenschiffen, die im 19. Jh. zwischen Afrika und Brasilien verkehrten, waren Köche für die Versorgung der Verschleppten und der Mannschaften zuständig. In den Häfen versorgten Verkäuferinnen sowohl die Versklavten als auch Arbeiterinnen und Arbeiter mit Nahrungsmitteln. Melina Teubner rückt in dieser kollektiven Biografie die Lebens- und Arbeitsbedingungen von Menschen in den Mittelpunkt, die sonst wenig im Fokus der Geschichtsschreibung stehen, ohne die die Logistik des Sklavenhandels jedoch nicht hätte organisiert werden können. Sie leistet damit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Geschichte der »zweiten Sklaverei«, d.h. der Phase nach dem offiziellen Verbot des Sklavenhandels (1815/17 bzw. 1831 in Brasilien), sowie zu einer neueren Welt- und Globalgeschichte der Materialität von Schifffahrt, Ernährung und Arbeit.

Looking Beneath the Surface
For more than ten thousand years, humans have lived in New Jersey. From Summit to Cape May, from Trenton to the Jersey Shore, the state is a treasure trove of archaeological artifacts, revealing much about those who occupied the region prior to European settlement. As a rule, only the most durable of human creations3⁄4items of stone and pottery3⁄4survive the ravages of time. To complicate matters, the onslaught of our own culture and the indiscriminate looting of sites by greedy collectors have further diminished the cultural materials left behind. The task of the archaeologist is to gather and interpret these scraps for the benefit of science and the public. But digging up relics is a t...
