What can you do with a Pentax and vast amounts of ice andwater? If your name is Robert Ketchum, there are no limits, not eventhe sky. The Northwest Passage, the Waterloo of many accomplishedseamen, became the dream--and obsession--of former U.S. TreasurySecretary William Simon, who traversed the elusive and dangerousregion in a yacht during the summer of 1994. Ketchum, hired tochronicle the 23-day expedition from Alaska, through Canada and theNorthwest Territories to Greenland, produced stunning results; anon-board helicopter enabled him to photograph the terrain as no Arcticimage maker before. ...

Great but Damaged
I knew that Robert Glenn Ketchum's book The Northwest Passage would be a great book, but I was surprised to see the low price of $9.98. Now I know why. About 5 pages had been double printed with two pages of text on one page. Also a few pages of images had been overprinted. I hope this involves only my copy and not all the others that are being offered.

Etheral photos of ice, snow, the sky and water
If you're looking for a photography book with 'beautiful, Kodak moment' pictures of wildlife, the Inuit, wild flowers upon the tundra, etc., this is NOT for you.But, if you like "nature" photography at its minimalist best, these photographs are glorious, providing, like me, you enjoy looking at photos of fog upon the water and the patterns that ice floes make upon the land and sea.

I was a tad disappointed in the text... because it's "poetry", as opposed to the photographer detailing his journey.An account of Ketchum's journey is in another part of the book, but it would have been far more effective, if his observations were next to the images, instead of a poet's musings on the area, which left me unsatisfied and with questions about certain images (like where they were, etc.).This is a remote area that we know little about and the photographer's account and observations next to his photographs would have been most helpful and informative. ...

Product Description
This special issue highlights the most recent advances in the field of proteolytic enzymes and their role in cancer cell invasion. The large repertoire of enzymes at the disposal of cancer cells, their cellular origins and the possible reasons for their apparent functional redundancy are discussed. The families of the enzymes undert consideration are metalloproteinases, plasminogen activators, cathepsins and a new group of enzymes residing in the invadopodia of cancer cells. Topics addressed include the regulation of metalloproteinase gene expression, the generation of multiple forms of a proteolytic enzyme from a single gene, and the contribution of stromal-epithelial interactions to the generation of proteolytic enzymes and their diversity. Also featured is their involvement in angiogenesis and their clinical value as prognostic indicators of cancer aggressiveness collection of papers by leaders in the field will be of great value for both students and established scientists interested in the pathology of tissue remodelling in cancer. ...
