Volume 14 in the series Comprehensive Toxicology extends and complements the previously published 13-volume set.  This volume will be available separately.
Toxicology is the study of the nature and actions of chemicals on biological systems.  In more primitive times, it really was the study of poisons.  However, in the early 1500s, it was apparent to Paracelsus that ""the dose differentiates a poison and a remedy"".  Clearly, the two most important tenets of toxicology were established during that time.  The level of exposure (dose) and the duration of exposure (time) will determine the degree and nature of a toxicological response.

Since that time the discipline of toxicology has made major advances in identifying and characterizing toxicants.  The growth of toxicology as a scientific discipline has been driven to a large extent by the use of extremely powerful molecular and cell biology techniques.

Skeletal muscle development is perhaps one of the best understood processes at the molecular, cellular and organismal level due in large part to the fact that primary myogenic cells (myoblasts) will grow and subsequently differentiate into myotubes in culture.  With the advent of reverse mouse genetics, many of the observations gained through the study of myogenic cells in vitro have been directly tested in vivo.  What has emerged is a complex but cohesive story of how myogenic cells are initially specified in the vertebrate embryo and how muscle fibers ultimately achieve their respective identities (i.e. fast versus slow) to perform their function.  This collection of chapters is focused on these developments.  The book discusses old and new directions for the skeletal muscle field and points out directions where the field may eventually progress.

Over the last few years ICRP has developed a number of reports giving ingestion and inhalation dose coefficients for members of the public. A summary report, /locate/isbn/0080427375ICRP Publication 72, was issued giving a compilation of effective dose coefficients for intakes by inhalation and ingestion for nearly 800 radionuclides of 91 elements. Earlier, in 1994 a similarly wide-ranging set of dose coefficients for workers, based on the same biokinetic models, had been issued in /locate/isbn/0080426514ICRP Publication 68.   Both of these Publications give only committed effective doses and in the case of inhalation cover only 1&mgr;m AMAD aerosols for the public, and 1&mgr;m and 5&mgr;m AMAD aerosols for workers.

Scholars in international comparative education are calling for a new paradigm - a multilevel qualitative analysis of cross-national data. In response, New Paradigms and Recurring Paradoxes in Education for Citizenship demonstrates the application of a multi-level analysis to qualitative data. Based on an international data base and case studies on civic education in 24 countries that were gathered in the IEA Civic Education Study, prominent scholars in civic education and international comparative education identify, analyze, and discuss three areas: first, the nature and status of civic education within countries, as well as common themes across countries; second, the paradoxes, puzzles, and complexities presented within countries; and third, new paradigms and methodologies for qualitative cross-national analyses.

In recent decades, scholars have made important substantive and theoretical contributions to understanding the ways in which power is exercised through gender and through sexuality.  Drawing upon a number of theoretical frameworks, including feminism, post-modernism, masculinities and queer theory, researchers have challenged dichotomous, static, and biologically reductionist conceptualizations of gender and sexuality. They have documented the myriad ways in which sex, gender and sexualities are far more complex than previously assumed. However, despite these advances in research, the tendency in the literature has been to examine gender or sexuality. In this volume, we propose a corrective to that trend by offering a collection of research based articles in which the authors examine the exercise of power at the intersection of gender and sexuality. The articles in this collection offer insights into some of the ways in which gender can be used",20020201,85,85,,"Introduction (P. Gagné, R. Tewksbury).

In creating both individual and shared understandings of group membership, group members reflect on their participation in the group, the group process, group outcomes, the group itself, and the organization in which the group is embedded.
