In 1915, forty years after the original Ku Klux Klan disbanded, a former farmer, circuit preacher, and university lecturer named Colonel William Joseph Simmons revived the secret society. By the early 1920's the KKK |

had been transformed into a national movement with millions of dues-paying members and chapters in all of the nation's forty-eight states. And unlike the Reconstruction-era society, the Klan in the 1920's exerted its influence far beyond the South. In The Rise of the Ku Klux Klan, Rory McVeigh provides a revealing analysis of the broad social agenda of 1920's-era KKK, showing |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The book provides a comprehensive exploration of the dynamic field of pharmacology and its fundamental principles. It delves into the intricate interactions between drugs and the human body, focusing on pharmacokinetics, which explains the dynamics of drug actions in the body, and pharmacodynamics, which uncovers the mechanisms through which drugs exert their effects. The book also emphasizes the crucial aspects of therapeutics and gene-based therapy, shedding light on modern approaches to disease treatment. Readers will gain insights into drugs that target the autonomic nervous system, influencing functions beyond voluntary control, and drugs that act on the central nervous system, impacting neurological processes. Additionally, the book examines medications affecting renal and cardiovascular functions, playing a significant role in maintaining homeostasis. Moreover, it explores the realm of drugs influencing gastrointestinal function, essential for digestive health. Furthermore, the book covers pharmacotherapy for microbial diseases, addressing the challenge of infectious agents and their treatment. It also investigates hormones and hormone antagonists, pivotal in regulating various physiological processes. Lastly, it provides a comprehensive understanding of drugs used for immunomodulation, which plays a crucial role in enhancing or suppressing the immune system. The book serves as a resource for students, researchers, and healthcare professionals seeking a deep understanding of drug interactions, therapeutic applications, and cutting-edge approaches in pharmacology. |
