Half-breed? Mixed race? What do you call the product of an interracial marriage? And how do you relate?Half-n-Half is a very honest account of the daily struggles faced by such individuals, and it will act as an alarm clock, waking people up to the ethnic diversity of this country and the problems that come with it.Eric M. Smith knows firsthand what life is like for the children of interracial marriages. After all, he lived it.Picture in your mind living on the ninth floor of one of the country's most dangerous housing (Cabrini-Green homes). This was the early setting for Eric Smith and his family.Shootings, drug deals, family fights, police sirens, constant commotion...No, not TV or some modern-day cable program on violence. These were the day-to-day occurrences which were no farther than the floor Eric lived on and definitely not any farther than his own courtyard.And the names flew too: half-breed, high yellow, red bone, yellow nigga, good hair, straight hair, German nigga kids.These are some of the names Eric heard on a daily basis. Those were hood names (White people were a little more subdued, referring to them as "e;mixed kids"e; or mulattos).As you read Eric's story, you will understand the subject of interracial marriage from a whole new perspective, and you will be better prepared to respond to one of the twentieth century's most significant yet unresolved issues.Now that we are in the twenty-first century, are we any closer to accepting people for who they are before looking at their skin color?

In the rapidly developing area of neuroimmunology, primary at- tention has been given thus far to the bidirectional exchange of information between the immune system and the neuroendocrine system. Several recent texts on this subject are based alm ost exclu- sively on experimental and clinical data obtained in mammalian species. One of the interesting insights gained from these studies is that the chemical messenger substances used in this exchange by either system are the same, or at least closely related to each other. Cytokines, primarily thought of as being dispatched by cells of the immune system, have recently been identified to be products of neural, in particular, glial elements. Conversely, neuropeptides for- merly considered to be characteristic of the neuroendocrine apparatus are now known to be manufactured and dispatched by immuno- regulatory cells as weIl. The present text is the first to provide an overview of the rich body of information obtained in aseries of broadly based comparative studies.This work in representatives of higher invertebrates has opened new vistas, in particular, regarding the immunomodulatory role played by opioid and other neuropeptides as signal molecules in the ceIl-mediated internal regulation of the immune system.
