Normal healthy skin is a complex immunological organ whose  major function is to protect the body from environmental insults. Skin  Immune Mechanisms in Health and Disease describes the immune mechanisms  used by normal skin, and examines the immunopathogenesis of inflammatory  skin diseases that result from defects that occur in this protective  strategy. In Part I, the cellular and humoral components of the skin immune  system are described, followed in Part II by an overview of innate and  acquired skin immune responses. In Part III, the immunopathogenesis of  various inflammatory skin diseases (eg. urticaria, pemphigus, SLE,  psoriasis) representing each of the four types of hypersensitivity  responses are presented. Each topic includes the latest research findings,  is clearly illustrated and well referenced.  This book should prove an invaluable reference for clinical dermatologists,  both established and in training, and researchers in the fields of  immunology and dermatology.

This book is a study guide for any candidate preparing for the new Java EE 5 version of the Sun Certified Web Component Developer exam (310-083 and upgrade 310-084). It contains the theory behind why the Web container operates as it does, and important notes, hints and tips on the types of trick questions to look for in the exam. By combining logical and easy-to-follow discussions with clear visual aids and diagrams, you will learn how the container works, and, by the end of the book, you'll be wondering why servlets, JSPs and tag libraries seemed so complicated before. By combining the theory taught in this book with practical experience, you will not only succeed in passing the exam, but will do so confident that you are able to solve problems and draw-up solutions on the job.
 Reference Material Have you ever found that you couldn't quite remember the names of the XML elements or attributes in the Deployment Descriptor or Tag Library Descriptor, or perhaps you've had problems recalling custom tag life cycles? Not a problem! Helpful visual diagrams show at a glance the important schemas, without having to resort to knowing the XML Schema or DTD languages, as used in the specifications. 
 Who is this book suitable for? This guide is not intended as a beginner's book. It assumes prior, although basic, knowledge of J2EE, the Web container and the Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) core syntax. However, thorough explanations are presented to give an excellent grounding in the subject area. In addition, particular attention is devoted to the subjects of the Expression Language and custom tag libraries, both of which are new or have been significantly updated in the 1.4 version of the J2EE platform. No knowledge of either of these more difficult topics is assumed. 
 Additional Chapters The two additional chapters present a summary of all the new features available in Java EE 5.0, including the platform's change of name! These are suitable for anyone already working confidently with J2EE 1.4.

From Arsenic to Biologicals: A 200 year History of Psoriasis is a chronological description of how the unravelling of the mechanisms underlying psoriasis have led to a change from the empirical "try it and see" treatments of the 19th and early 20th centuries to the evidence-based treatments of the present day. The book explains the various theories proposed to explain psoriasis and describes the introduction of new treatments, decade by decade, throughout the 20th century. These range from the belief that psoriasis resulted from an internal metabolic disturbance in the 19th century, when arsenic was the systemic treatment of choice, through to the 21st century when the recognition that psoriasis is a disease of the immune system enabled the development and use of therapeutic biological agents.
