Book Description
Incorporated amidst the turmoil of the American Revolution, Foxborough has a long tradition of patriotic commitment to the nation and has continued from generation to generation to serve admirably when the country has called. However, it is not only the wartime record that measures a community, but it is a town's innovations and responses to times of prosperity and catastrophe that truly shape its character and reputation. Foxborough's varied history, from Minute Men to the famed female straw hat braiders, certainly distinguishes it as an uncommon town in the American experience. Foxborough: Gem of Norfolk County chronicles the remarkable story of a small village's growth and development from its first settlement in the 1600s to the present, highlighting significant events and personalities that formed the town's identity. Through this unique comprehensive narrative, readers will be transported across four centuries of a changing landscape and will explore their hometown's schools, residences, businesses, and factories of yesteryear.

Social Psychology of Inclusion and Exclusion
Author: Dominic Abrams
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1135432821
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 651
Book Description
This book is about the social psychological dynamics and phenomenology of social inclusion and exclusion. The editors take as their starting point the assumption that social life is conducted in a framework of relationships in which individuals seek inclusion and belongingness. Relationships necessarily include others, but equally they have boundaries that exclude. Frequently these boundaries are challenged or crossed. The book will draw together research on individual motivation, small group processes, stigmatization and intergroup relations, to provide a comprehensive social psychological account of social inclusion and exclusion.

A Life in the Cinema

ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
ntroduction by Stephen King, Afterword by Tobe Hooper, Jacket and Interior Art by Clive BarkerA LIFE IN THE CINEMA is the first book from award-winning filmmaker Mick Garris. It is a collection of eight prickly tales and a screenplay that reach under the skin of real life and reel life to take you places you never realized you wanted to go. The title story, "A Life in the Cinema" and its sequel, "Starfucker", are set in the author's hometown of Hollywood, and provide a yellow-jaundiced look at a world you only thought was glamorous.As Stephen King, in his introduction, says: "Here is a real Hollywood insider writing about the real inside world of filmmaking: the good, the bad, and the cheesy. These stories are both erotic and cynical, but they are above all well and fiercely told-when he's yarning about the tarnished tinsel underbelly of the town he knows (and clearly loves) the best, Mick Garris writes like a combination of Robert Bloch and James Ellroy, hardboiled noir with a ghastly little prink of the devil's own pitchfork."Not all of the stories are Hollywood-based: Garris includes tales of a grandmother who is just as loving in death as she was in life, a geriatric trailer park with a randy secret, wistful and impossible love with a twist, the wrong kind of baby-love, and a deathly brush with fame. The book is capped with a screenplay by Garris, as well as "Chocolate", the story it's based on, providing, as King puts it, "a textbook seminar in the art and craft of adapting one's own work."So welcome to a dark side of Hollywood you've never seen before...

Prostaglandin D2 Synthase
Author: Louis Ragolia
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788130801865
Category : Prostaglandins
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Nearly a decade after first learning of this remarkable protein, Prostaglandin D2 Synthase continues to amaze me with its ever-growing array of novel functions. Prostaglandin D2 Synthase- A Multitude of Biological Functions reveals several of the most recent and interesting aspects of this protein and is divided into five parts: In Part I, Ko Fujimori examines the structure and regulation of the lipocalin-type prostaglandin D2 synthase (L-PGDS) gene; Takashi Inui then explains the folding and unfolding mechanisms of the protein while an evolutionary analysis of L-PGDS is provided by Hisako Ichihara, Kei-ichi Kuma, Yoshihiro Urade, and Hiroyuki Toh; Yoshihiro Urade and Kosuke Aritake then introduce some novel properties associated with L-PGDS. In Part II, reproductive and fetal aspects of L-PGDS are provided by Zeng-Ming Yang, Murray Mitchell, Rachel J. A. Helliwell, Mhoyra Fraser, and Jeffrey A. Keelan. Vascular aspects of L-PGDS are provided in Part III by Louis Ragolia, who exposes the role of L-PGDS in insulin resistance, inflammation and atherosclerosis and introduces the concept of L-PGDS as a vital hub to the metabolic syndrome; Maria Luigia Fazia, Andrea Mezzetti, and Francesco Cipollone, examine the expression and role of L-PGDS in atherothrombosis; Yoshikazu Miwa and Toshiyuki Sasaguri, discusses its role as a vasoprotective factor; and Hideyuki Negoro examines the role of endogenous prostaglandin D2 in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular injuries. In Part IV Masako Taniike and Ikuko Mohri examine the pathophysiological role of L-PGDS in neurological disorders while Atsushi Hiraoka characterizes the various isoforms found in cerebrospinal fluid. Finally, the association to cancer is discussed in Part V by Abhijit Banerjee, who examines L-PGDS in Cancer Progression. It is my desire that this book will both expose and inspire those unfamiliar with the vast and complex actions of this extraordinary protein, and foster additional research on a protein which I believe holds great promise for therapeutic disease intervention. I would like to express my deep gratitude to all of the contributing authors for providing their individual expertise and perspective to help construct this book. I would also like to thank Dr. S. G. Pandalai and Research Signpost for the invitation and agreement to publish this compilation. Finally, I would like to thank Winthrop University Hospital s Board of Directors for their continued support and commitment to basic research.
