Bowlby's (1969/1982) attachment theory has inspired decades of empirical work focusing on antecedents and consequences of variation in attachment security across the lifespan. However, significant questions remain about individual differences in adult attachment and their developmental origins. This book address these issues, reporting analyses based on Adult Attachment Interviews (AAIs; Main, Kaplan, & Cassidy, 1985) collected at age 18 years from the largest longitudinal sample of its kind (N = 857)--participants who had been enrolled in the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development from birth through to 15 years. Part 1 provides confirmatory evidence that relatively independent AAI dismissing and preoccupied states of mind--along with variation in inferred maternal and paternal experience--capture the full range of participants' AAI discourse. Taxometric analyses demonstrated that individual differences are more accurately represented dimensionally than categorically. Part 2 reports evidence of weak but statistically significant stability in attachment from infancy through late adolescence, and lawful sources of continuity and change over time--maternal sensitivity, father absence, paternal depression, and negative life events. A specific focus on individuals who described below-average childhood experiences in the AAI but did so in a coherent manner (i.e., "earned-secures") replicated evidence that they actually received average or better parental care, but also experienced significant family stressors in childhood. Additional analyses suggested theory-consistent developmental antecedents of the four AAI dimensions (i.e., dismissing, preoccupied, inferred maternal and paternal experiences). Together, these results represent a significant step forward in our understanding of adult attachment and its origins.

In the last decade, emergent technologies have enhanced our understanding of genomic, transcriptional, proteomic, epigenetic, and immune mechanisms in carcinogenesis. This improved understanding has enabled the development of targeted cancer therapies and personalized management, and transformed conventional treatment paradigms. It has provided the framework for the discovery of new targets, for validation of novel agents, for combination therapies predicated upon scientific rationale, and for clinical trials that have already markedly improved the prognosis and outcome of patients with cancer.Over 37 chapters this volume of Translational Oncology series, Targeted Therapy in Translational Cancer Research Introduces the cutting-edge 'bench to bedside and back' breakthroughs which have transformed the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer Provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments in our understanding of tumor biology and describes current state-of-the-art anticancer therapy, as well as the most promising areas of translational research and targeted therapy Covers basic principles of targeted therapy, including immunotherapy and the roles of cancer stem cells, the microenvironment, angiogenesis, epigenetics, microRNAs, and functional imaging in precision medicine Summarises major advances in therapeutic management of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors using conventional therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or novel treatment modalities We are on the threshold of translating discoveries in cancer biology into unprecedented durable responses and improved clinical outcomes in the majority of patients with cancer. In this unique time in history, the discovery of novel therapeutic approaches targeting the molecular basis of cancer will allow for implementation of precision medicine, with the promise of potentially curative, well tolerated, therapies. Targeted Therapy in Translational Cancer Research was written to increase the awareness and access of basic and clinical researchers, caregivers, and patients alike to cutting-edge "bench to bedside and back" breakthroughs, which have transformed the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer.The expert editor team and contributing authors provide an insightful overview to the novel therapeutic approaches targeting the molecular basis of cancer and allowing for the growth of precision medicine. This title is an essential resource for clinical and research oncologists and trainees, pharmacologic research and development professionals, biomedical scientists, and allied oncology professionals.Translational Oncology SeriesSeries EditorsROBERT C.

Historians have long argued about the nature of the changes that occurred in American foreign policy at the turn of the century, and whether those changes represented an abrupt break from the past or the culmination of longΓÇôterm trends. Beisner addresses these issues by recasting the questions involved, and synthesizes the most useful contributions of both traditional and revisionist historians. From the Old Diplomacy to the New reinterprets the entire period as one in which American foreign policy underwent a fundamental paradigm shift that affected the goals and methods of diplomacy. A commitment to systematic policy and a determination to promote American interests in a dangerous world characterized the "new diplomacy."

A comprehensive analysis of changes in body form and skeletal robusticity from the Terminal Pleistocene through the Holocene, leading to the modern European human phenotype. Skeletal Variation and Adaptation in Europeans: Upper Paleolithic to the Twentieth Century brings together for the first time the results of an unprecedented large-scale investigation of European skeletal remains. The study was conducted over ten years by an international research team, and includes more than 2,000 skeletons spanning most of the European continent over the past 30,000 years, from the Early Upper Paleolithic to the 20th century. This time span includes environmental transitions from foraging to food production, small-scale to large-scale urban settlements, increasing social stratification and mechanization of labor, and climatic changes. Alterations in body form and behavior in response to these transitions are reconstructed through osteometric and biomechanical analyses. Divided into four sections, the book includes an introduction to the project and comprehensive descriptions of the methods used; general continent-wide syntheses of major trends in body size, shape, and skeletal robusticity; detailed regional analyses; and a summary of results. It also offers a full data set on an external website. Brings together data from an unprecedented large-scale study of human skeletal and anatomical variations Includes appendix of specific information from each research site Synthesizes data from spatial, temporal, regional, and geographical perspectives Skeletal Variation and Adaptation in Europeans will be a valuable resource for bioarchaeologists, palaeoanthropologists, forensic anthropologists, medical historians, and archaeologists at both the graduate and post-graduate level.
