The neural control of airways is complex and recently a number of important advances have been made in our understanding of the mechanisms involved. These new aspects in our understanding of the cholinergic, adrenergic and neuropeptide control of airway function (including the nose) are covered in detail, as is the role of nerves in airway disease, rhinitis and the therapeutic implications of the new observations. As such this volume, like others in the series, will be of interest to the clinician as well as the research scientists.

In 2006, NASA’s top climate scientist warned that we have at most a decade to turn the tide on global warming. After that, James Hansen said, all bets are off. Temperature rises of 3 to 7 degrees Farenheit will "produce a different planet." If Hansen is right--and most scientists think he is--then every year lost is a year closer to the precipice. In more positive terms, we have one last chance--but one chance only--to save the planet.This guide is about that last chance. It’s a result of hundreds of how-do-we-do-this-right discussions over many years. Author and entrepreneur P

Although the majority of construction work these days is carried out by sub-contractors, there are surprisingly few books dealing with building sub-contracts and the related law. This book provides a much welcomed guide to the new 2005 JCT Standard Building Sub-Contract (SBCSub and SBCSub/D), which is likely to be the regular sub-contract form used by contractors when letting works under the radically revised 2005 JCT Standard Building Contract. Peter Barnes, who has over 30 years’ experience of contractor/sub-contractor relationships, provides a clause by clause commentary

Global warming has finally made clear the true costs of using our atmosphere as a giant sponge to soak up unwanted by-products of industrial activity. As nations, businesses, and citizens seek workable yet fair solutions for reducing carbon emissions, the question of who should pay-and how-looms large. Yet the surprising truth is that a system for protecting the atmosphere could be devised that would yield cash benefits to us all. In Who Owns the Sky?, visionary entrepreneur Peter Barnes redefines the debate about the costs and benefits of addressing climate change. He proposes a market-based
