It is a key element in the shaping of identities, particularly in the context of increasingly multicultural societies. This Research Companion brings together an international team of authors to discuss the concepts, ideas and practices that inform the entwining of heritage and identity. They have assembled a wide geographical range of examples and interpret them through a number of disciplinary lenses that include geography, history,

This book reviews current understanding of the biological roles of extracellular molecular chaperones. It provides an overview of the structure and function of molecular chaperones, their role in the cellular response to stress and their disposition within the cell. It also questions the basic paradigm of molecular chaperone biology - that these proteins are first-and-foremost protein-folding molecules. The current paradigms of protein secretion are reviewed and the evolving concept of proteins (such as molecular chaperones) as multi-functional molecules for which the term ’moonlighting

In the ninth issue of "The Shakespearean International Yearbook", guest editor Laurence Wright has assembled essays from South African critics that examine the treatment of Shakespeare’s work in South Africa as an aspect of colonial history. The special section’s emphasis on Shakespeare in the twentieth century acknowledges how the titanic political and ideological struggles that convulsed South Africa throughout the period also affected the way that Shakespeare was studied, interpreted, taught and performed. "The Shakespearean International Yearbook" continues to provide an annual
