&#8220;A work of literary art.&#8221; &#8211;Phillip Lopate&#8220;With House of Windows, Adina Hoffman fills a gap in an extraordinary manner with a book that is truly a work of art. Written with style and truth, Hoffman&#8217;s portrait of [Jerusalem] will long remain in the mind&#8217;s eye of the reader.&#8221; &#8211;Ruminator Review&#8220;Hoffman&#8217;s remarkable work of nonfiction, wonderfully written, takes us deep inside the lives...of the people who have been virtually invisible outside Israel and who have been ignored and disregarded by the Ashkenazi elite.&#8221; &#8211;Linda Grant, The Independent&#8220;The writing is as poignant and layered as the subjects she writes about&#8211;and by detailing the ways history and culture play out in the day-to-day lives of the residents of one of the world&#8217;s most contentious cities, she adds nuance and complexity to a much-studied subject.&#8221; &#8211;Publishers Weekly

Portraits From a Jerusalem Neighborhood

House of Windows

"This book does a masterful job of clarifying how public officials in developing countries handle foreign inspired administrative reforms and international practices, in relation to their local circumstances. It offers an excellent set of case studies that demonstrate how a distinct professional identity among African public auditors has emerged. Policy-makers, professionals and scholars should be grateful to have such a well-crafted, finely-balanced contribution to the literature on organizational change and professionalization." - Odd-Helge Fjeldstad, Chr. Michelsen Institute and the International Centre for Tax and Development

"In this well-argued and ambitious study, Gustavson demonstrates that institutional and professional logics of audit institutions in African countries do not differ much from their counterparts in the industrialized world. The study makes a key contribution to the literature, as its results contrast to many conventional notions about public institutions in developing countries." - Shirin Ahlback Oberg, Uppsala University, Sweden

End of Part One: New & Selected Poems

"This extremely well written and useful collection of laboratory methods for the study of steroid biology is one of a series in Methods in Molecular Biology devoted to steroid hormones and their receptors.  The book provides an up-to-date compilation of protocols and assays that are important for the study of steroids and their receptors... it will be invaluable to researchers already in the field to compare protocols and improve methods...The book is divided into sections of bioinformatics, purification protocols, steroid hormone binding assays, protein interaction assays, and cancer research and drug discovery. The bioinformatics section leads off the book with a wealth of information on web sites that are relevant for steroid hormones and their receptors. While there are probably over 40 different proteins involved in steroid hormone receptor interaction, the section on protein interactions is superb. It actually clarifies a good part of the literature as so many of the proteins have different names for the same molecule. Understanding the mechanisms of isolation of these proteins puts the literature into perspective. Furthermore, the protocols are in sufficient detail that our lab was able to adapt several of the techniques immediately."   -Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal

"This volume, part of the series 'Methods in Molecular Biology', describes in detail the protocols and assays used in the study of steroid hormone receptors." - Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism

"Timely and highly accessible, Steroid Receptor Methods. Protocols and Assays provides biochemists and molecular biologists studying endocrine systems with a full range of the powerful tools needed for elucidating protein interactions with receptors and DNA, as well as for drug discovery." - Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy

"Anyone working techniques, or who is tempted to enter the field, would be well advised to obtain this book and read the relevant chapters first. PhD student and established scientist alike will find Steroid Receptor Methods a valuable addition the the library." - Molecular Biotechnology

"Overall, the book is well written by an impressive list of experts and represents a valuable resource for both inexperienced and seasoned researchers of steroid receptors."     -Today's Life Science
