The unraveling of the biology and disease mechanisms of the parathyroid has taken great strides in the recent few years. Parathyroid molecular biology is the first book to describe recent studies and discoveries in the field in detail. Key topics addressed include: The study of the molecular biology of the parathyroid hormone gene and its regulation by calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D The generation of mice with genetic deletions of the parathyroid, as well as mice which fail to develop the parathyroid gland The parathyroid's connection to the calcium receptor and its effects, such as regulation of PTH secretion, gene expression, and proliferation The genetic mutations leading to diseases of decreased or excessive activity of the parathyroid The mechanisms of actions associated with patients with chronic renal failure and the development of markedly excessive activity of the parathyroid that causes severe bone disease This book will be essential reading to everyone interested in the latest developments in this burgeoning field.

Practical Insight into CMMI is an essential reference for engineering, IT and management professionals striving to grasp the "look and feel of a successful business oriented process improvement implementation".

This book offers a re-reading of the philosophies of Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Rosenzweig. It argues that within the structure of their thinking lies a notion of the absolute which can be recognised as 'philosophy's higher education'. This higher education is contained within and arises out of dualisms that are central to the work of each thinker: formation and finality (Kant), master and slave (Hegel), being and time (Heidegger), recollection and repetition (Kierkegaard), will to power and eternal return (Nietzsche), and fire and rays (Rosenzweig). The book argues that the dualisms have a speculative and therefore an educational significance which underpins the coherence of each thinker, and shows how, in each case, there subsists a notion of philosophy's higher education. The result of this investigation, therefore, is not only a radical re-interpretation of these philosophers, but also an ambitious attempt at unifying their work around another dualism, the relation of philosophy education. It is within this latter relation that the book argues that 'the absolute can be realised'. This book is of interest to those working in the fields of Contemporary Philosophy, Philosophy of Education and Theory of Education.
