Drawing on a close reading of nearly forty years'' worth of personal letters and her will, and incorporating new archival material, Margaret Paston emerges from this study as the best example we have of how lay piety was negotiated and integrated into daily medieval life.

For a century now Marxists have been searching for a ''rational kernel'' of Hegelian ''dialectics'' inside the ''mystical shell'' of the Hegelian system. As against this entire tradition, Rosenthal insists that Hegelian philosophy is mysticism all the way through. He argues that Marx''s supposed `dialectic method'' is simply a myth propagated by academics and proposes the provocative thesis that it is not, after all, Hegel''s ''method'' of which Marx made use in Capital but rather precisely Hegel''s mysticism. The role of money in Marx and Hegel is examined in detail.

It has been a little more than half a century since serious, organized research on hyper­ tension began. Public and even physician interest in the subject remained minimal until the early forties, and even then there were not more than a dozen "fulltime" investigators worldwide. The first organization devoted to communicating regularly the results of hy­ pertension research was created in Cleveland in 1945; it became the Council for High Blood Pressure Research of the American Heart Association in 1949. The early history of hypertension is not a story of progressive achievement. Richard Bright is given great credit, followed by Mahomed, Allbutt, Riva-Rocci, Bergman and Janeway, but it was not until Volhard, Fahr and Allen that some semblance of order emerged. They were followed by a younger, much more vigorous group of investigators who in fact initiated modern research in hypertension. Two more generations have fol­ lowed. In the course of some fifty years, we have seen emerge a magnificent body of evidence that has prescribed good treatment and contributed a considerable understanding of the many complex mechanisms involved in the hypertensions. Treatment is now actively pro­ moted by public health agencies, including the World Health Organization. This is an­ other case of treatment preceding full understanding of the nature of the disease.

In diesem Band werden innovative Therapieformen in der Nephrologie, Hamatologie und Hypertonieforschung vorgestellt, insbesondere die Behandlungsfortschritte bei chronischen Nierenerkrankungen. Experten aus Forschung, Klinik und Praxis diskutieren charakteristische Therapiesubstanzen bei chronischen Nierenerkrankungen, weiterfuhrende Perspektiven der Therapie von Knochenstoffwechselstorungen durch den Einsatz von Biophosphonaten sowie die klinische Relevanz der Mikroalbuminurie zur Detektion von Nephropathien.
