Sommario/riassunto

Cure or life with cancer? What can be achieved by cancer immune therapy? The past decade has seen substantial advancements in tumor immunology. Much of the new knowledge has been translated into new strategies for cancer treatment and into clinical trials. Some of these trials herald future breakthroughs, others have been disappointing and have prompted intensive search for alternatives. Major contributors to the field summarize the knowledge on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of tumorigenesis, critically review the instruments of the immune system that might be exploited for therapy, and discuss the clinical experiences with the different immune therapy concepts. Researchers in the fields of immunology, tumor biology and medicine will highly appreciate this up-to-date volume for evaluating future research activities.

Sommario/riassunto

Between 1955 and 1956 the Government of India passed four Hindu Law Acts to reform and codify Hindu family law. Scholars have understood these acts as a response to growing concern about women's rights but, in a powerful re-reading of their history, this book traces the origins of the Hindu law reform project to changes in the political-economy of late colonial rule. The Hindu Family and the Emergence of Modern India considers how questions regarding family structure, property rights and gender relations contributed to the development of representative politics, and how, in solving these questions, India's secular and state power structures were consequently drawn into a complex and unique relationship with Hindu law. In this comprehensive and illuminating resource for scholars and students, Newbigin demonstrates the significance of gender and economy to the history of twentieth-century democratic government, as it emerged in India and beyond.
