Given the latest advances in cancer research, which includes basic research and its derived diagnostic, clinical, and therapeutic applications, the book New Trends in Cancer for the 21st Century is written by individuals such as molecular biologists, whose tasks are to decipher, after sequencing the human genome, those new genes and pathways involved in the carcinogenesis process; clinical and molecular pathologists, who apply these discoveries for the molecular diagnosis and characterization of the tumor; and clinical oncologists, who treat patients. Pharmacogenetics introduces new perspectives in the translational fields with the design of drugs against specific targets, which at this moment are in clinical trials phases. This book achieves a state of the art in every field of cancer research and discusses the new perspectives that will open the future for cancer treatment (basic research, new technologies, new drugs, therapies...). For this reason, the book is intended for pathologists, clinicians, and biologists, as well as fellows and students of physiology and medicine.

This book is based on columns and tutorials published in the Bulletin of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) during the period 2000-2003. It presents many of the most active current research lines in theoretical computer science. The material appears in two volumes, “Algorithms and Complexity” and “Formal Models and Semantics”, reflecting the traditional division of the field.The list of contributors includes many of the well-known researchers in theoretical computer science. Most of the articles are reader-friendly and do not presuppose much knowledge of the area in question. Therefore, the book constitutes very suitable supplementary reading material for various courses and seminars in computer science.

Education seeks to provide the intellectual enlightenment and the spiritual emancipation in the search for a better existence for all life on earth. Teacher education must target skills for the 21st Century and beyond them to address the needs of a knowledge society. These days teacher's education system is facing problem of inaptness and irrelevance. There is a visible gap between how students live and how they learn. Schools and colleges have struggled to keep the pace with the rate of change in students' lives inside and outside the educational institution.Innovative educational practices support the development of new capabilities and surfacing stumbling blocks on the road to innovation implementation. The implementation of learning that promotes the development of general capabilities and deep learning approaches in students is at the centre of the paradigmatic changes.

The book POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY is the brainchild of the author, who has supervised many Ph.D. students in Positive Psychology over the last two decades on a variety of topics such as emotional intelligence, locus of control, self-efficacy, and self-concept, among others. It is the most recent addition to the psychological literature portraying the new field of emotional intelligence. This book is hoped to be highly valuable to scholars, general readers, and professionals who will benefit from the knowledge received through this book. Furthermore, the contents of the book are very relevant to one's own life because they are stated in a simple and clear language. They will enjoy reading this book since it will appeal to their emotions.

Captures the challenging and controversial era between 1975-2000 that led the field of intellectual disability into an age of community acceptance and inclusion. This title includes chapters that focus themes such as public policy and health care.

This 544-page book has 22 chapters prepared by experienced and renowned scholars and researchers from different parts of the world. Grouped into three sections- "Information Technology, Science and Mathematics", "Social Sciences and General Studies", and "Languages" - the chapters represent an important collection of international endeavours committed to facilitate the much needed paradigm shift in subject curriculum and pedagogy and reinforce the quest for a new knowledge base that can support the search for new conceptions, models, perspectives, innovations, and practices for teaching effectiveness and teacher development in different parts of the world. The target audiences are teacher educators, educators, graduate students, researchers, policy makers and those interested to reform education and teacher education in the new century.

The scientific developments at the end of the past millennium were dominated by the huge increase and diversity of disciplines with the common label “computer science”. The theoretical foundations of such disciplines have become known as theoretical computer science. This book highlights some key issues of theoretical computer science as they seem to us now, at the beginning of the new millennium.The text is based on columns and tutorials published in the Bulletin of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science in the period 1995-2000. The columnists themselves selected the material they wanted for the book, and the editors had a chance to update their work. Indeed, much of the material presented here appears in a form quite different from the original. Since the presentation of most of the articles is reader-friendly and does not presuppose much knowledge of the area, the book constitutes suitable supplementary reading material for various courses in computer science.
