Lipids traditionally have been viewed as serving two functions: to form cellular membranes and to serve as energy stores. During the last two decades, a new role for lipids has taken center stage: lipids can act as signalling molecules. Leading scientists explore all known lipid classes except steroid hormones.

Employment systems consist of complex arrays of formal and informal rules that structure the relationships between employees and employers. The study of employment systems is a relatively recent phenomenon, and few prior studies or theories were found to guide this investigation.

This volume brings together a sample of the best of the studies that illustrate two recent trends in research on deviant behavior. Is one form of deviant behavior a cause or a consequence of other forms of deviant behavior?

In this text, the authors review the last twenty-five years of progress in research and theory on language and communication in the psychopathological context. They also identify promising avenues for future research. This text will benefit students taking courses in psycholinguistics.
