George R.R. Martins »A Song of Ice and Fire« / »Game of Thrones« fasziniert ein Massenpublikum ebenso wie die Kritiker in den gehobenen Feuilletons. Die interdisziplinären Beiträge des Bandes spüren der Popularität von Martins komplexer »secondary world« in ihren medialen Ausprägungen als Buch, Film und Computerspiel nach. Dabei schafft die methodische Vielseitigkeit der Beiträge (aus Literatur-, Geschichts-, Politik-, Film-, Religions-, Musikwissenschaft, Mediävistik und Game Studies) neue Perspektiven auf zahlreiche inhaltliche wie poetologische Aspekte der »Welt von Eis und Feuer« - von der Rolle von Religion und Sexualität über die Dynamik von Herrschaft und Gewalt bis zur Funktion von Rätseln und Prophezeiungen.

Now in paperback, the Oxford Textbook of Oncology reflects current best practice in the multidisciplinary management of cancer, written and edited by internationally recognised leaders in the field. Structured in six sections, the book provides an accessible scientific basis to the key topics of oncology, examining how cancer cells grow and function, as well as discussing the aetiology of cancer, and the general principles governing modern approaches to oncology treatment. The book examines the challenges presented by the treatment of cancer on a larger scale within population groups, and the importance of recognising and supporting the needs of individual patients, both during and after treatment. A series of disease-oriented, case-based chapters, ranging from acute leukaemia to colon cancer, highlight the various approaches available for managing the cancer patient, including the translational application of cancer science in order to personalise treatment. The advice imparted in these cases has relevance worldwide, and reflects a modern approach to cancer care. The Oxford Textbook of Oncology provides a comprehensive account of the multiple aspects of best practice in the discipline, making it an indispensable resource for oncologists of all grades and subspecialty interests.

Review: Each chapter is nicely illustrated with schemes, cartoons and images. The text, although written by top oncologists, is readily understandable for a non-expert. Thus, the textbook will no doubt be appreciated by a broader audience. * Recent Patents on Anti-Cancer Drug Discovery Vol. 11 Issue No. 4, Alexander Shtil * I recommend this book highly to all oncology and oncologists in training as a thorough, informative, and readable reference. Every large intuitional library and every oncology library should have it. * NEJM, 2002 * This comprehensive textbook of oncology is the first new major textbook on cancer to appear in a decade and is designed for a broad audience of clinicians, oncologists in training, and academics. The coverage is comprehensive...The overall appearance of the book is outstanding. It is a welcome combination of epidemiology, aspects of basic science, pharmacology and radiation therapy that trainees will fine a nice change...should enjoy a wide readership...because of its appealing design and comprehensive approach to oncology. It is the most user-friendly comprehensive text currently available. The pathology, basic science, epidemiology, and radiation therapy sections are all presented with extreme clarity. * Doody's Journal , 2002 * A landmark reference...It sets new standards for publishing in oncology offering a ground-breaking innovative approach to the filed combined with the quality, accuracy , and intellectual rigour you have come to expect from the world's most prestigious reference publisher. * Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy, 2002 * Under new editorship, the second edition is far more than an updated version of the first...the prose in the Oxford Textbook is exemplary...this textbook is unique among its peers in giving the sense that the authors are addressing the reader personally...an exception level of quality...Respect for the evidence-based medicine is apparent throughout the text...illustrative and anatomical drawing...of remarkable high quality...excellent discussion of doctor-patient communication in relation OT genetic counselling, psychological issues, and terminal cancers. * JAMA, Volume 287, Issue 24, 2002 * The Oxford Textbook of Oncology covers virtually the entire spectrum of malignant diseases in adults and children. It meets very high editorial and production standards: the organization, illustrations, and eye-pleasing typography are outstanding... I have high praise for this textbook. * NEJM, Volume 347, Number 2, 2002 * Review from previous edition The Oxford Textbook of Oncology is a classic and fresh approach to the field. It is a must for all libraries and all those who like to have a single up-to-date reference book that contains sufficient detail for the clinician in all subspecialties: surgery and chapters are sufficiently details to provide a reference for trainees in the field. * Oncology, Volume 63, 2002 * The Oxford Textbook of Oncology is what it is meant to be: a textbook with comprehensive information of the actual status of oncology... an indispensable and attractive source of information. * Professor Jaak Ph. Janssens, European Journal of Cancer Prevention * This volume provides a comprehensive account of the multiple aspects of best practice in the discipline, making it an indispensable resource for oncologists of all grades and subspecialty interests. * Anticancer Research Vol. 36 (2016) * An outstanding gift to the international scientific community...

This book concisely reviews our current understanding of hypoxia, molecular targeting, DNA repair, cancer stem cells, and tumor pathophysiology, while also discussing novel strategies for putting these findings into practice in daily clinical routine. Radiotherapy is an important part of modern multimodal cancer treatment, and the past several years have witnessed not only substantial improvements in radiation techniques and the use of new beam qualities, but also major strides in our understanding of molecular tumor biology and tumor radiation response. Against this backdrop, the book highlights recent efforts to identify reasonable and clinically applicable biomarkers using broad-spectrum tissue microarrays and high-throughput systems biology approaches like genomics and epigenomics. In particular, it describes in detail how such molecular information is now being exploited for diagnostic imaging and imaging throughout treatment using the example of positron emission tomography. By discussing all these issues in the context of modern radiation oncology, the book provides a broad, up-to-date overview of the molecular aspects of radiation oncology that will hopefully foster its further optimization.

»A dragon is no idle fancy« - J.R.R. Tolkiens Maxime ist noch immer aktuell: Der Drache erscheint kulturübergreifend als eine liminale Gestalt, oszillierend zwischen tierischen und menschlichen Aspekten. Durch die Konfrontation mit dem Drachen wird die Begegnung mit dem Fremden im Eigenen, mit dem Tierischen im Menschen intensiver inszeniert als bei allen anderen Fabelwesen. Die Beiträge des Bandes analysieren diesen Zusammenhang aus dem Licht unterschiedlichster Epochen und Disziplinen: von mesopotamischen und frühchristlichen Drachenbildern über die Literatur des Mittelalters bis zu modernen Figurationen des Drachens, etwa in der Kinder- und Jugendliteratur und der Fantasy, aber auch in Film und Computerspiel.
