Night Watch
Sloane Cabot is a dead woman. Or at least that’s what the headstone says. In this new life, there are two things she knows for certain: how to kill bad guys, and that something awful must have happened to turn her into a blood-sucking monster. Unfortunately, having no memory and a sizable dead count paints a mighty big target on one's back. With a price on her head and nowhere to run, choosing between indentured servitude with the Night Watch or certain death kind of seems like a no-brainer. If only there wasn't that silly little rule about not killing people…
Business Information Systems
This book contains the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Business Information Systems, BIS 2011, held in Poznań, Poland, in June 2011. The 25 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. Following this year's conference theme of "Towards Flexible, Personalized and Adaptive Business Applications," the contributions were grouped into eight sections on business rules, business process verification, business process variants and composition, business process improvement, data modeling and integration, Internet science, modern enterprises, and specific business information systems issues.

Origins of Neuroscience
With over 350 illustrations, this impressive volume traces the rich history of ideas about the functioning of the brain from its roots in the ancient cultures of Egypt, Greece, and Rome through the centuries into relatively modern times. In contrast to biographically oriented accounts, this book is unique in its emphasis on the functions of the brain and how they came to be associated with specific brain regions and systems. Among the topics explored are vision, hearing, pain, motor control, sleep, memory, speech, and various other facets of intellect. The emphasis throughout is on presenting material in a very readable way, while describing with scholarly acumen the historical evolution of the field in all its amazing wealth and detail. From the opening introductory chapters to the concluding look at treatments and therapies, this monumental work will captivate readers from cover to cover. It will be valued as both an historical reference and as an exciting tale of scientificdiscovery. It is bound to attract a wide readership among students and professionals in the neural sciences as well as general readers interested in the history of science and medicine.
The Role of Thyroid Hormones in Vertebrate Development, volume II
Thyroid hormones role in development was first suggested in the 18th century when a relationship between goiter and cretinism was found by F.E. Fodere. But it was Rudolf Virchow work in the late 19th century with thyroidectomized animals that clearly demonstrated that goiter led to cretinism. This opened the door to the understanding of TH action on vertebrate development. However given the relative ease by which cretinism could be treated simply by eating animal thyroid gland or iodine supplementation, research into the action of TH on vertebrate development has been lagging. This was further enhanced by the complex biology of TH where, after production in the gland, entry, activation and b...
