Nitric oxide (NO) has been discovered to play a fundamental role in a number of biological phenomena. This book describes various aspects of nitric oxide biology, physiology and pharmacology. It is divided into three sections. The first part deals with the basic chemistry and enzymology of NO, thus laying a molecular basis for what follows. The middle part surveys the physiological roles of NO under normal conditions. The concluding part explores the relevance of NO to disease, both as a pathogenic factor and a therapeutic target. The book thus provides detailed information on NO biology to the reader unfamiliar with the field and represents a reference work for scientists working in an NO-related field of biomedical research. Each chapter, written by experts in their fields, gives a broad introduction followed by a comprehensive review of the current knowledge and a detailed reference list.

Utgångspunkten i den här boken är bibeltexter som inte används så ofta i konfirmand- och ungdomsverksamheten. Se dem som ett utmanande komplement till de välanvända klassikerna. För det sker någonting med oss när vi använder andra bibeltexter än dem vi är vana vid – våra tankar och svar blir inte så färdiga och förväntade. På så sätt kan vi möta ungdomarnas tankar med öppna sinnen. Varje bibeltext är kopplad till ett tema, till exempel relationer, bön, könsroller och makt, ljus och mörker, musikens kraft eller hopp. Till varje tema finns bland annat: en reflektion, som kan fungera som inledning eller avslutande andakt en kort bakgrund till bibel­texten en symbol som stöd för minnet samtalsfrågor att resonera kring övningar som ger olika ingångar till temat medskick, för att låta tankarna fortsätta efter passet.

The Atlas of Interpersonal Situations provides a systematic theoretical account for understanding the impact of situations on patterns of social interaction. Structured around descriptions of twenty-one of the most common situations that people encounter in everyday life, the authors aim to provide readers with the tools needed to understand how those situations influence interpersonal behavior. These descriptions are intended to be freestanding, each one providing analysis, research examples, and everyday descriptions of the prototypical situation. The authors build upon the tools of interdependence theory, which stresses the manner in which people's outcomes are determined by the structure of their interaction with each other. This analysis makes clear exactly what is 'social' about 'social psychology'.
