Corners are sharp and not bumped. Binding is tight. A Fine copy. This book contains the printed text of original manuscripts conveying the thoughts and beliefs of Governor Frederick F. Lowe (1828-1894), an American politician who served as the 9th Governor of California from 1863-1867. Lowe also served as a United States Representative from California from 1862-1863 and U.S. Minister to China from 1869-1873. The first part contains a manuscript that was dictated by Low to a writer who transcribed his thoughts. In this manuscript, Low includes an autobiographical account of some parts of his life and brief history of early California. The other part contains an interview between Low and Hubert Howe Bancroft (1832-1918), an American historian and ethnologist. In this interview, Low briefly discusses his career as a banker and some of his opinions about other politicians. Bancroft asks Low about pressing subjects of the time including the monopoly of the Central-South Pacific Railroad and Chinese immigration. Low voices his concern for the "avariciousness" of some of the railroad magnates but also concludes that he cannot speak to the allegations of corruption leveled against the railroad monopoly in California. Low appears to have contradictory beliefs regarding Chinese immigration. On the one hand, he argues that Chinese people are too different from white Americans and that they cannot assimilate into American society. However, after Bancroft notes the double standard of allowing different European ethnicities to immigrate the U.S., Low also says that the U.S. should not be walled off as China was to other countries and that he is against rigid restrictions on Chinese immigration. Edited with a Preface and notes by Robert H. Becker.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Six years ago when the first edition of this volume appeared as the first of the series, questions were posed in its preface that are as valid today as they were then. In that preface, I proposed the following challenges: (1) We must identify carcinogenic agents, and by an analysis of their 'nature,' e. g. , structure and physical characteristics, we may better understand their mechanism of action. (2) We must identify crucial interactions between these carcinogens and impor tant macromolecules within the cell, distinguishing those which relate to carcinogenesis from those which are extraneous. (3) We must examine the alterations of cell function induced by these reactions, for it is with an understanding of phenotypic variation that we may know why malignant cells escape from normal homeostatic control. (4) Last, and perhaps of greatest importance, we must define malignancy--define those charac teristics of cellular activity that permit the malignant cell to compete so effectively with the normal constituent, which ultimately Ieads to such destructive events. Although great strides have been made toward those goals, as evidenced by a number of new chapters and the new information gathered into others, and although the achievement of those goals sometimes appears but a tantalizing experiment away, none have been achieved. For example, several chapters indude descriptions of the progress that has been made toward the development of 'quick assays.…
