This book titled Advances in Malignant Melanoma - Clinical and Research Perspectives represents an international effort to highlight advances in our understanding of malignant melanoma from both clinical and research perspectives. The authors for this book consist of an international group of recognized leaders in melanoma research and patient care, and they share their unique perspectives regarding melanoma epidemiology, risk factors, diagnostic and prognostic tools, phenotypes, treatment, and future research directions. The book is divide into four sections: (1) Epidemiology and Risk Factors of Melanoma, (2) Clinical Phenotypes of Melanoma, (3) Investigational Treatments for Melanoma and Pigmentary Disorders, and (4) Advances in Melanoma Translational Research. This book does not attempt to exhaustively cover all aspects of the aforementioned topics. Rather, it is a compilation of our authors' pearls and unique perspectives on the relevant advances in melanoma during the recent years.

"Tolerance is not enough, discrimination must be fought" is what ESU staff stated in their Seminar on Equality in London, last May. Following their seminar, they decided to provide members with more practical tools to fight discrimination in higher education. This handbook aims at as part of that strategy. Focusing on several issues that are high on the political agendas of the governments today, they try to provide with the argumentation and analyses to make a difference. ESU chairperson Koen Geven strongly believes that promoting equality has always been one of the cornerstones of the student movement. But although equality has been high on the agenda of the student movement, only so much has changed in universities. Gender equality can be a good example to proof this point. But ESU members must continuously realise that equality is not just a gender issue. This handbook therefore also covers problems experienced by black students, students with different sexual orientation and all other groups facing structural or increasing discrimination. Especially with the rise of extremist right wing parties focusing purely on hatred against gay people or immigrants, efforts should be increased. Best practices are appended. A glossary is included.
