In this combined edition, the full content of volumes 1 and 2 of Thomas Kidd’s American History are brought together in a single, accessible textbook. This sweeping narrative spans the full scope of American history from the first Native American societies to the political and cultural struggles of contemporary times. In clear, readable prose, and with attention to well-known and more obscure figures from American history, Kidd gives a robust account of the events, people, and ideas that gave shape to our nation. Students will come away from American History well-informed, and better prepared to wrestle with the political and cultural changes that have dramatically transformed contemporary American life. Praise for American History “Thomas Kidd has succeeded well in providing a high quality American history text that integrates the usual political and social history with its religious dimensions.” —George Marsden, professor of history emeritus, University of Notre Dame “Thomas Kidd explores the entirety of American history in this carefully researched and clearly written text. It is an ideal book for students new to American history as well as for older readers who would like a sprightly, objective, and discerning refresher.” —Mark Noll, professor of history emeritus, University of Notre Dame, and research professor of history, Regent College

Tsuguhiko Kadokawa (80), a former chairman of publishing firm Kadokawa Corporation, was arrested by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office on September 14, 2022, on suspicion of bribery related to the Tokyo Olympics. He was held in pre-trial detention, in a solitary room, for 226 days while he continued to deny the charges.As he peered at the winter moon through a corner of a small window in an unheated cell under 24-hour surveillance, he likened the window that had been made to be seen—rather than to see out of—to the fake criminal justice system and democracy that he was experiencing.Repeatedly denied bail despite his ailing health, the author was subjected to ""hostage justice"" as the criminal justice system waited for him to give in and confess.""You won't leave here alive,"" detention center doctors warned him. This book also explains the legal procedures the author is taking to end hostage justice, including his lawsuit against the government that asserts the unconstitutionality of the system because it violates the Japanese Constitution and international human rights law.

Multifunctional Systems for Combined Delivery, Biosensing, and Diagnostics explores how multifunctional nanocarriers are being used in combined delivery and diagnostics in contemporary medicine. Particular attention is given to efforts to i) reduce the side effects of therapeutic agents, ii) increase the pharmacological effect, and iii) improve aqueous solubility and chemical stability of different therapeutic agents. The chapters focus on applications of nanostructured materials and nanocarriers, highlighting how these can be used effectively in both diagnosis and delivery. This applied focus makes the book an important reference source for those wanting to learn more about how specific nanomaterials and nanotechnology systems can help to solve drug delivery and diagnostics problems. This book is a valuable resource for materials scientists, bioengineers, and medical researchers who are looking for an applications-oriented guide on how nanotechnology and nanomaterials can be used effectively throughout the medical treatment process, from diagnosis to treatment. - Explores the benefits of using a variety of nanomaterials as drug delivery agents - Explains how nanocarriers can reduce the side effects of therapeutic agents - Provides an analysis of the pros and cons of using specific nanocarriers to solve particular diagnosis and delivery problems
