The immune system maintains homeostasis within human organisms and protects them from pathogenic threats. But sometimes it cannot provide this protection on its own, and vaccines may be necessary to ensure our health and survival. Immune functions can become dysregulated and result in autoimmune disease or multi-system damage. Pharmacological and genomic interventions may activate or modulate immune functions to prevent these outcomes. This volume is an analysis and discussion of some of the ethical implications of these interventions.

"Thoroughly updated and revised, this new edition is more sophisticated, current, and complete than ever, while still retaining the book's signature emphasis on the "essentials" of conditioning and learning. Through four previous editions, students and researchers have relied on this book's clear, concise, and highly accessible overview of the processes and mechanisms responsible for conditioning and learning. Domjan and Delamater summarize major theories of how humans and nonhuman animals learn, along with the classic experiments that support these theories and how they have been applied to address real-world problems.New in the fifth edition: A streamlined presentation, clarified explanations, and copious new research Greater emphasis on how concepts relate to common human experiences-for example, learning to discriminate between phone apps or wine tasting Increased discussion of clinical and translational relevance of research with laboratory animals Additional coverage of current associative, ethological, behavioral, and information processing approaches to the study of learning and behavior New neuroscience findings to clarify behavioral mechanisms A list of YouTube mini-lecture videos designed to accompany and augment the text For instructors: a companion website is available containing PowerPoint slides, multiple-choice questions, reflection questions, key terms and definitions, links to supplemental videos, and a transition guide to the new edition.

Characters are a vital aspect of today's transmedia practices. Combining theories on fictional persons from Japanese and Euro-American practices, this book discusses video game characters embedded in our popular media culture in which they are constantly produced and re-imagined. This book introduces the dynamic game character, a type of game character with a development structure that consists of multiple outcomes in a game. Through their actions and choices, players can influence these game characters' identities and affect their possible destinies. Games subvert the idea that fictional persons must maintain a coherent identity. This book shows that dynamic game characters challenge strategies of top-down control through close readings of the Mass Effect series, Persona 5, Hades, Animal Crossing: New Horizons and more. It is directed to all scholars interested in the topics of transmedia storytelling, video games, characters, and Japanese narratology.

Simons uses the startle reflex as a revealing model for covering how evolved neurophysiology shapes personal experience, patterns of recurrence in actions, and the systems of meaning people collectively create and transmit. Using diverse sources, Simons observes how biology is expressed in culture.
