Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The American Southwest was arguably as formative a landscape for Willa Cather's aesthetic vision as was her beloved Nebraska. Both landscapes elicited in her a sense of raw incompleteness. They seemed not so much finished places as things unassembled, more like countries 'still waiting to be made into [a] landscape.' Cather's fascination with the Southwest led to its presence as a significant setting in three of her most ambitious novels: 'The Song of the Lark,' 'The Professor's House,' and 'Death Comes for the Archbishop.' This volume focuses a sharp eye on how the landscape of the American Southwest served Cather creatively and the ways it shaped her research and productivity. No single scholarly methodology prevails in the essays gathered here, giving the volume rare depth and complexity.

It was the purpose of this investigation to determine possible changes in adrenal weight and adrenal cholesterol content at frequent intervals following total boxy X-radiation at three selected doses, sublethal, DL 50 and LD 100. It was hoped in this way to follow any alteration to adrenal activity during the entire course of radiation sickness and to provide thereby a possible basis for interpreting some of the observed physiological changes. A summary of all data is presented in Tables 1, 2 and 3. A significant reduction in adrenal cholesterol was obtained at 3 to 6 hours after exposure to either 650 r or 900 r whereas only a slight decrease was noted at 200 r. Animals dying after 650 r showed a greatly decreased adrenal cholesterol. Adrenal weight was elevated significantly 2 days after X-radiation with either 650 r or 900 r. A decreased in weight of the spleen was seen at all dose levels. The described changes my reflect an altered adrenal cortical activity. 250 white male rats (Maguran) were irradiated.
