Manfred Schwab, "Encyclopedia of Cancer" (4 Volume Set)

This comprehensive encyclopedic reference provides rapid access to focused information on topics of cancer research for clinicians, research scientists and advanced students. Given the overwhelming success of the first edition, which appeared in 2001, and fast development in the different fields of cancer research, it has been decided to publish a second fully revised and expanded edition.

The Encyclopedia of Skin and Skin Disorders

Skin is the largest human organ (6-9 pounds and more than 18 square feet in a typical adult) and is the body's protector, regulator, and transfer system. Beginning with a foreword summarizing some of the major recent advances in dermatology and a short introduction pointing out the significant new topics, this encyclopedia of skin and its diseases is a revised and updated version of a title last published in 2002.
More than 1,000 alphabetically arranged entries range from a single sentence (for example, Fibroblast,Nifedipine) to several detailed pages, such as the discussion of poison ivy--the plant, the symptoms and diagnostic path, treatment options and outlook, risk factors, and preventive measures. Other longer entries may include history, procedures, and side effects, as in the discussion of silicone implants. There are entries on cosmetics, diseases and syndromes, medical terms and procedures, drugs, and more. Many of the entries have been revised. Among the new entries are Elephantiasis,Laser hair removal, Microdermabrasion, and Spider bites.
The integration of information throughout is well done. Seeand see alsoreferences abound. Terms used in entries that are themselves entries appear in small caps. Three of the seven appendixes deal with cosmetics: ingredients, color additives, and cosmetic ingredients to avoid. With this as a reference, reading the ingredients on a bottle of lotion will be a bit more understandable, if not a bit scary. Appendix 4 lists 10 types of lesions and the conditions causing those lesions, but there is no entry in the encyclopedia or glossary defining lesion,a term the general public sometimes misunderstands.
Academic and public libraries will want to add this clearly written reference book with its wealth of information. In an environment where individuals have more responsibility to understand and make choices about their health and health care, this work can be a very useful partner. Linda Loos Scarth

Current Topics Human Genetics


The sequencing of the human genome has brought human genetics into a new era of study resulting in the generation of an explosive amount of information. Application of genomic, proteomic, and bioinformatics technologies to the study of human genetics has made it possible for human genetic diseases to be studied on an unprecedented scale, both in silico and in the wet lab. This volume provides up-to-date coverage of the broad range of research topics in this fascinating area. In the first part of the book, a whole spectrum of approaches to human genetics research is reviewed for both background and the latest progress. In the second, important topics related to genetic research of various complex human diseases are discussed. The robust content and diverse array of subjects allow the book to serve as both a concise encyclopedia that introduces basic and essential concepts of human genetics and an in-depth review of the current understanding of genetic research in human diseases.
