By taking a fresh look at these two processes together we can envision their evolutionary basis and understand the need for regulatory devices to prevent molecular mimicry from progressing to autoimmune disease. If molecular mimicry were not common, protective adaptive immunity could not be all-encompassing. Molecular mimicry, the sharing of epitopes among self and non-self antigens, is extraordinary common and provides the evidence that complete deletion of self-reactive clones is rare. For comprehensive, protective adaptive immunity, full deletion is necessarily a rare event. If we did have complete clonal deletion, there would be major voids, the infamous “black holes”, in our immune repertoire. Clonal deletion originated as a critical element of the clonal selection theory of antibody formation in order to explain tolerance of self. In this article, I trace the historic background of clonal deletion and molecular mimicry, two major pillars underlying our present understanding of autoimmunity and autoimmune disease. Highly recommend for a fun adventure story. You will not be disappointed in continuing this story if you enjoyed this first book. Written by Edgar Rice Burroughs Cover art and frontispiece by Joe Jusko Foreword by Joe Jusko and afterword by Scott Tracy Griffin Book 1 of the Tarzan Series Authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. The ending was rather sad and left me wanting more.so I have already downloaded and listened to the second book. Due to the length.I was not able to listen to this all in one sitting but I REALLY wanted to and had a hard time turning it off. Tarzan has a lot of different adventures and he doesn't meet Jane until well into the story.but EVERY adventure Tarzan has both before and after meeting Jane is interesting and fun to listen to. Edgar Rice Burroughs is becoming one of my favorite authors, having also enjoyed the John Carter books. The narration was just perfect and my only disappointment was that he does not narrate the other books and I had to choose another narrator for book 2. Burroughs created in Tarzan a figure that instantly captured the popular fancy, as did his many. After sampling all the versions currently available I ended up choosing this version, narrated by Simon Prebble, and I am so glad I did. was followed in 1914 by Tarzan of the Apes, the first of 25 such books about the son of an English nobleman abandoned in the African jungle during infancy and brought up by apes. I truly enjoyed listening to Tarzan of the Apes. Part of the problem is the “Leadership Ambition Gap.” Fewer women aspire to senior level jobs. Women tend to leave the workforce when mixing career and family becomes too difficult as the years go by, there are fewer women in high-ranking leadership positions. Change will come when women speak up, gain confidence, demand more help at home, and ascend to more leadership positions. They don’t take career risks, compromising professional goals for family duties.Īuthor Sheryl Sandberg urges women to “lean in” - to take risks and be ambitious in their professional goals. Many women lack self-confidence and don’t speak up at work. Internal factors hold them back, as well. 1-Page Summary 1-Page Book Summary of Lean Inĭespite great strides academically and professionally, women still face gender inequality and unfair compensation in the workplace, along with discrimination, sexual harassment, family-unfriendly policies, and fewer mentors. He published books - or manuals - on the technical aspects of photography and he used his own portfolios to help lobby politicians for the creation and upkeep of American National Parks. Adams himself was a highly accomplished technician. Adams and his friend and colleague Edward Weston founded Group f/64 whose commitment to the idea of a pure, or "higher", photography helped shape the history of early-to-mid 20 th century modernism and secured photography's place - as fine art - within it. He was a committed environmentalist and nothing short of an icon for the 20th century conservation movement. Adams's professional life was dedicated to capturing through his lens the forgotten and unspoiled wilderness of America's national parks and other protected conservation areas in the West. He might also be the most widely known and respected of all American photographers, whose legend continues through books and television documentaries, and through the prevalent reproduction of his work on calendars, posters, postcards and other ephemera. Ansel Adams was the most important American landscape photographer of the 20 th century.
