Excerpt from A Handbook to the Museum of Ornamental Art: In the Art Treasures ExhibitionThe earliest example in the present collection is contributed by J. W. Wyld, Esq. Of London, who has forwarded with great liberality an enamelled Arabic pendent lamp (case A, south side, central hall), probably of the fourteenth or early fifteenth century. This is not only beautiful as a work of art, but very interesting, as being an example of the style in...

Excerpt from Art Treasures of the United Kingdom From the Art Treasures Exhibition, ManchesterFrom the time when the nee-christians in their holy zeal commenced the destruction, as far as practicable, of the monuments of Pagan Art, down to within the last few centuries, the ruin or neglect of works of antiquity has been ever going on. It would be no uninteresting task to trace the various causes which led to the revival of antique Science, Art...

Many of the most effective treatments for disease have been discovered empir­ ically. Nowadays, however, we think that understanding the biology of a disease will lead us to design better treatments, and to improve the application of treatments we already have. To accomplish this, vast sums are expended on cancer research. Even so, to the casual observer of clinical oncology the proliferation of studies and trials of ever-different combination...

It has been recognized for almost 200 years that certain families seem to inherit cancer. It is only in the past decade, however, that molecular genetics and epidemiology have combined to define the role of inheritance in cancer more clearly, and to identify some of the genes involved. The causative genes can be tracked through cancer-prone families via genetic linkage and positional cloning. Several of the genes discovered have subsequently b...

There is no shonage of books on cancer. Why publish another? Simply because the subject is important: possibly the most important challenge facing medicine today, and consequently the focus of one of the faslest-growing areas of fundamental biological research. The quest to understand and control cancer is so absorbing that from time 10 time we really need to pause for a moment and try to take stock of the situation. Given the sheer breadth of...

Most of the anti-cancer drugs in use today were discovered by happy accident rather than design, yet the rational design of better anti-cancer drugs remains a cherished goal, and one of the most important challenges facing medical science. This book represents a compilation of views and progress reports which illustrate the diversity of approaches to the problem. Recent research has confirmed the belief that critical genetic changes are at wor...
