Neuroanatomy of Neuroendocrine Systems
In this book, experts in the field provide comprehensive descriptions of the neuroanatomy of the hypothalamic neuroendocrine systems. The book begins with an extensive discussion on the structural components of the neuroendocrine systems. The reader will be introduced to the anatomy and biology of the hypothalamus and the pituitary. The human hypothalamus is presented in particular detail using state-of-the-art imaging techniques. In the next section, the neuroanatomy of traditional hypothalamo-hypophyseal systems is highlighted, with chapters describing magnocellular neuroendocrine cells and discussing the respective types of hypothalamic neurons that regulate various pituitary hormones.

Spiritual Vegetation
This volume concerns premodern understandings of vegetal nature that encompass multiple semantics and perspectives. Scholars from the disparate fields of art history, literature, and religious studies present tantalizing studies of trees and plants in sacred and secular thought. Some discuss the concept of the Book of Nature and its implications. Others explore narratives of symbiosis between humans and vegetal material, tree-dwelling hermits, spirits metamorphosing into wood, flowers or trees that sprout from bodies or the dissolution of the self into the natural world. Complementary to these approaches are studies that suggest a collapsing of time and space in spiritually charged yet ambiguous natural motifs or topographies where forests or groves are spaces of transformative experience.
Game Changers in Management
A “game changer” is a metaphor commonly used to describe a broad range of events and phenomena in different fields and domains, from natural disasters, through economic crises, emerging narratives, technological or social innovations to conflicts and political or military interventions. Although precise definitions of a “game changer” vary and its conceptual boundaries remain blurred scholars agree that its main quality is the ability to change the status quo. Management scholars have long been interested in increasing the relevance and impact of their studies by addressing a diverse range of global issues. This aspiration to offer significant and meaningful theoretical, practical and societal contributions has led to the advent of strand of management research related to “grand challenges”. Solving any of these challenges could be a game changer, not only from management studies perspective but also from a wider social standpoint.
Cancer Research Supported Under BIOMED 1
The pace of discovery, within the EU, of scientific aspects of cancer research and of developments in the clinical field is so rapid that it is sometimes difficult to keep abreast. This brief overview attempts to highlight some of the advances in the field, as part of BIOMED programme funded research and specific results due to the co-operative spirit established by the scientific community. It is particularly worth noting the financial investment of 35 million ECU in the current programme, has d as a catalyst in attracting a large number of Member States funded research in pooling their collective knowledge base.
