Описание: What would you see if you removed the skull from the human brain and worked your way deeper and deeper, to the level of an individual neuron? This is your chance to see into the human brain, to learn what the brain is, how it works and doesn`t work, and how mood-modifying drugs find their targets.

Описание: It has been 25 years since the now-classic Antibodies by Ed Harlow and David Lane appeared. While some things remain the same, many have changed. This second edition of Antibodies, edited by Edward A. Greenfield of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute builds on the core strengths of the first edition, presenting clear and authoritative protocols with extensive background information and troubleshooting advice. The original introductory chapters have been recast and updated to take into account our current understanding of the immune system. The critical chapters on generating monoclonal antibodies and growing hybridomas, which demystified hybridoma generation, have been greatly expanded and updated to make these procedures easy to follow and adaptable to current research needs. The remaining chapters contain all new protocols and topics and reflect the progress in how antibodies are studied and used since the appearance of the original edition. These include:

� antibody purification and storage
� engineering antibodies, including use of degenerate oligonucleotides, 5'-RACE, phage display, and mutagenesis
� extensive labeling techniques
� new immunoblotting protocols
� the latest screening and labeling techniques

As Dr. Greenfield notes in his preface to this second edition:
"The Antibodies manual provided our laboratory with guidance in the form of protocols and recommendations for setting up a hybridoma facility. Everything we needed to know to make a monoclonal antibody was all there, neatly packaged in an easy-to-understand book...the second edition is intended to provide the necessary information and protocols to assist investigators with their first monoclonal antibody effort as well as to provide guidance for more experiences antibody makers who are having some difficulties with a particular project."

I have the first edition. Why should I buy the second edition?
While the core of the first edition appears in updated and recast form in the second edition, more than half of the second edition contains entirely new information and protocols to reflect the changes in the field since the first edition.

To whom is this edition addressed? Is this a book for immunologists?
As with the first edition, the second edition provides information and protocols for both the neophyte and the experienced investigator. It dissects the mysteries of producing the antibodies and reagents you need for your experiments with the needs of molecular biologists in mind. It is the perfect book for new members of your lab as it has sufficient background information to provide context as well as clear, step-by-step instructions for performing the needed experiments-both the why and the how for these techniques. And if things go wrong, there is extensive troubleshooting to diagnose the problem.

Are the protocols in this book better than those available for download on the Web?
Many of the protocols available on the Web are perfectly good, but there are many that are not. Reagents are expensive and deadlines are tight. CSHL Press manuals provide protocols that have been formulated and tested in the labs of leading investigators in the field. They are reliable and they work. And they include the context and troubleshooting information that many online protocols do not have.

Описание:

Named a Gift Book for the Discerning New Yorker by The New York Times
In a metropolis like New York, homelessness can blend into the urban landscape. For editor Susan Greenfield, however, New York is the place where a community of resilient, remarkable individuals are yearning for a voice. Sacred Shelter follows the lives of thirteen formerly homeless people, all of whom have graduated from the life skills empowerment program, an interfaith life skills program for homeless and formerly homeless individuals in New York. Through frank, honest interviews, these individuals share traumas from their youth, their experience with homelessness, and the healing they have discovered through community and faith.
Edna Humphrey talks about losing her grandparents, father, and sister to illness, accident, and abuse. Lisa Sperber discusses her bipolar disorder and her whiteness. Dennis Barton speaks about his unconventional path to becoming a first-generation college student and his journey to reconnect with his family. The memoirists share stories about youth, family, jobs, and love. They describe their experiences with racism, mental illness, sexual assault, and domestic violence. Each of the thirteen storytellers honestly expresses his or her brokenheartedness and how finding community and faith gave them hope to carry on.
Interspersed among these life stories are reflections from program directors, clerics, mentors, and volunteers who have worked with and in the life skills empowerment program. In his reflection, George Horton shares his deep gratitude for and solidarity with the 500-plus individuals he has come to know since he co-founded the program in 1989. While religion can be divisive, Horton firmly believes that all faiths urge us to “welcome the stranger” and, as Pope Francis asks, “accompany” them through the struggles of life. Through solidarity and suffering, many formerly homeless individuals have found renewed faith in God and community. Beyond trauma and strife, Dorothy Day’s suggestion that “All is grace” is personified in these thirteen stories. Jeremy Kalmanofsky, rabbi at Ansche Chesed Synagogue, says the program points toward a social fabric of encounter and recognition between strangers, who overcome vast differences to face one another, which in Hebrew is called Panim el Panim.
While Sacred Shelter does not tackle the socioeconomic conditions and inequities that cause homelessness, it provides a voice for a demographic group that continues to suffer from systemic injustice and marginalization. In powerful, narrative form, it expresses the resilience of individuals who have experienced homelessness and the hope and community they have found. By listening to their stories, we are urged to confront our own woundedness and uncover our desire for human connection, a sacred shelter on the other side of suffering.

Описание: Although they did not know it then, when the Rolling Stones embarked on their farewell tour of Great Britain in March 1971 after having announced they were about to go into tax exile in the south of France, it was the end of an era. For the Stones, nothing would ever be the same again.For ten days on that tour, the Rolling Stones traveled by train and bus to play two shows a night in many of the same small town halls and theatres where they had begun their career. Performing brand new songs like "Bitch," "Brown Sugar," "Wild Horses," and "Can`t You Hear Me Knockin`" from their as-yet-unreleased album Sticky Fingers live on stage for the very first time, they also played classics like "Midnight Rambler," "Honky Tonk Women," "Satisfaction," "Street Fighting Man," and Chuck Berry`s "Little Queenie" and "Let It Rock."Because only one journalist,Robert Greenfield,was allowed to accompany the Stones on this tour, there has never before been a full-length account of the landmark event that marked the end of the first chapter of the Rolling Stones` extraordinary career.In a larger sense, Ain`t It Time We Said Goodbye is the story of two artists on the precipice. For Mick Jagger and Ketih Richards, as well as those who traveled with them, the Rolling Stones` farewell tour of England was the end of the innocence. No laminates. No backstage passes. No security. No sound checks and no rehearsals. Just the Rolling Stones on the road playing rock`n` roll the way it was truly meant to be seen and heard.Based on Greenfield`s first-hand account as well as new interviews with many of the key players, Ain`t It Time We Said Goodbye is a vibrant and thrilling look at the way it once was and would never be again in the world according to the Rolling Stones.

Описание: THE SOUL MATE EXPEDITIONS* Have you ever put up 100 posters on a busy city street trying to contact the woman whose phone number you'd lost? * Have you ever buried a beloved friend in the sand dunes near the Atlantic Ocean, fulfilling a request in his Last Will?* Have you ever had an experimental microchip implanted in your brain for the purpose of capturing moving images of your actual dreams?* Have you ever visited the Social Security offices in New York City and had your age changed?* Have you ever been trapped in traffic in the Lincoln Tunnel for over an hour, desperately needing to urinate?* Have you ever wondered what souls actually look like?These are just a few of the compelling and remarkable stories you will find in the collection you are now holding, or possibly staring at on a tablet. Lyle Greenfield's unmistakable "voice" will remain with you long after you've turned the last page and said, out loud, to no one, "What the?"The original stories comprising The Soul Mate Expeditions (first section of this collection) were actually written 20 years ago. If you are reading this in the year 2024 it was 25 years ago. If you are reading this in the year 2099 it was100 years ago and I am dead. You're welcome to visit my gravesite in East Hampton, NY and to make a generous contribution to the East Hampton Food Pantry in my name. Thank you Regarding the novella, "What Vienna Saw," the idea was a spore in my brain going back to 1985 and periodically I would deliver a feverish synopsis to a captive audience over dinner and drinks. Close friends instructed that if I didn't finally commit the story to paper I would be sent to my room without supper. Or drinks. Therefore...As for the Letters to the Editor of The East Hampton Star, I discovered in 1998 that it was the policy of this weekly newspaper to publish every signed letter submitted "with the exception those judged to be proselytizing, an invasion of privacy, libelous, or obscene." This idiosyncratic editorial position, in effect since the 1950s, quickly became a psychogenic discharge valve to me and I took unfair advantage, I fear, writing letters of 1,000 to 2,000 words in length, on any viewpoint, fantasy or personal humiliation I cared to share. More than one devoted reader strongly suggested I put them in a book. And this I have done. Praise for The Soul Mate Expeditions"Greenfield's is a voice that ranges from the absurd to the profound, sometimes translating into the absurdly profound and/or the profoundly absurd--always with a measure of self-deprecation. His wry tone, however, does not conceal his empathy for the human condition and caring for the arts--often reflected in his regular SHOOT column, "Earwitness." He now gives us The Soul Mate Expeditions, a collection of musings and stories that paint a vivid picture of the mind of a writer I've known for 20-plus years."Robert Goldrich, Editor, SHOOT"Lyle puts the lip in solipsism. And yet his stories, mostly about a time and place not so long ago, are soulful indeed." David E. Rattray, Editor, The East Hampton Star"Cleansing my brain of this tragic modern world, I was engaged, provoked and at times laughing out loud to myself... and my dog. Turn off your phone, crack open the window and take the flight of fancy that is Lyle Greenfield's writing." Nancy Atlas, Singer Songwriter Bandleader Producer
