This clear and succinct book focuses on the fundamentals of how cells respond to their changing environment. The main forms of cell signaling--"paracrine signaling, the release of hormones, electrical signals, and direct cell-to-cell contact--"is explained. Detailed illustrations and sidebars with additional information help explain and clarify these forms of cell communication. Finally, students will learn how the genetic information stored in each cell's DNA is used to direct these communication processes.


International Organizations as Law-Makers

This book addresses how international organizations with a global reach, such as the UN and the WTO, have changed the mechanisms and reasoning behind the making, implementation, and enforcement of international law. Alvarez argues that existing descriptions of international law and international organizations do not do justice to the complex changes resulting from the increased importance of these institutions after World War II, and especially from changes after the end of the Cold War. In particular, this book examines the impact of the institutions on international law through the day to day application and interpretation of institutional law, the making of multilateral treaties, and the decisions of a proliferating number of institutionalized dispute settlers.

The Working Life: The Promise and Betrayal of Modern Work by Joanne B. Ciulla, ISBN 0609807374

EXPLORING AND EXPLODING OUR NOTIONS OF WORK
Joanne B. Ciulla, a noted scholar in Leadership and Ethics, examines why so many people today have let their jobs take over their lives. Technology was supposed to free us from work, but instead we work longer hours-often tethered to the office at home by cell phones and e-mail. People still look to work for self-fulfillment, community, and identity, but these things may be increasingly difficult to find in today's workplace. Gone is the social contract where employees and employers shared a sense of mutual loyalty, yet many of us still sacrifice personal time for jobs that we could lose at the drop of a stock price. Tracing the evolution of the meaning of work from Aesop to Dilbert, and critically examining the past 100 years of management practices, Ciulla asks questions that we often willfully ignore at our own peril.
*When you are on your deathbed, will you wish you had spent more time at the office?
*Why do we define ourselves... The Working Life: The Promise and Betrayal of Modern Work by Joanne B. Ciulla, ISBN 0609807374
