Robert Burns (1759-96) was born into a farming family in Ayrshire, Scotland. The publication in 1786 of his first book, Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish dialect, made him famous overnight, and saw him feted by Edinburgh society. But Burns made no money from his writing and quickly fell on hard times, returning to farming in Dumfries and, when that failed, to work as an excise officer. He devoted his final years to poetry and the writing of Scottish songs.

The Scottish poet Robert Burns has been idolised and eulogised. He has been sainted, painted, tarted up and toasted. He is famous as the author of 'Auld Lang Syne', and he has long since become the patron saint of the heart-sore and the hung-over.

This selection gives equal weight to the two aspects of Robert Burns's reputation, as a lyricist and as a much-loved Scottish poet. Placing works in probable order of composition, it includes lyrics to his most well known songs, such as the nostalgic Auld Lang Syne, the romantic A Red, Red Rose, and the patriotic Scots What Hae. As a poet, Burns wrote with deceptive simplicity and imaginative sympathy, and demonstrated enormous range - from comic dramatic monologues such as Holy Willie's Prayer, which mocks hypocrisy, to narratives including the celebrated Tam O' Shanter, about the ghostly visions of a drunk.

Born in 1759 into miserable rustic poverty, by the age of 18 Burns had acquired a good knowledge of both classical and English literature. This collection includes some of his most famous works such as the ballad "Auld Lang Syne", and "Tam o'Shanter".

Immunochemical techniques have been in use for many years with early examples of bacterial strain typing dating back to the 1940s. The basis for the science is the exquisite elegance of the mammalian immune system with its ability to recognize foreign proteins and to manufacture antibody m- ecules that strongly bind to the substances that elicited them. Not only are potentially harmful pathogens and toxins recognized by the immune system, but the system can be persuaded to manufacture antibodies to an astonishing array of substances. In the early days of this science, all antibodies for investigative work were produced by immunizing mammals with the substance of interest, followed by regular donor bleeds that yielded antisera. Serum produced in this way yields heterogenic populations of antibody molecules recognizing different epitopes on the target protein, which may be adequate for its intended p- poses, but can also cause problems of crossreactivity. In 1975, Kohler and Milstein reported that spleen cells from immune donor animals could be immortalized, cloned from single cells, and grown in continuous culture. This original work described the method for the production of monoclonal antibodies.

Book by Burns, Robert

Robert Burns, unumstrittener Nationalpoet der Schotten, hat in seinem kurzen Leben neben berühmten Liebes- und Naturgedichten auch eine Vielzahl an Trinkliedern, Spottversen und Balladen verfasst. In seinem anarchischen Naturell liebte er weniger die feinen Kreise – an scharfzüngiger Kritik wird wahrlich nicht gespart –, sondern suchte Freundschaft und geraden Sinn bei rauen Gesellen in Bauerndörfern, in den Pubs, wo der Whisky so manches Mal in Strömen floss. Derb ist zuweilen der Ton seiner Lieder, skurril und beißend sein Witz. Und so lässt auch Dieter Berdel einen „diafn Schmäh rennen“ – abseitig und pointiert: Robert Burns war nach heutiger Diktion ein Mundartdichter, folgerichtig sind die Nachdichtungen vom typischen Wienerisch der Peripherie getragen. Eigentlich sind es Dichtungen, die für sich stehen, originelle Kunstwerke, neue Gesänge, bei denen spürbar wird, dass der stürmische Wandel der Zeiten vieles nicht zu ändern vermag: Freundschaft und wahre Werte, Rausch und Irrwege, Gezänke und Rebellion … – Und der Duft des Klees in den Highlands vermählt sich schmeichelnd mit dem Odeur von Wiener Vorstadtbeisln.

The Complete Poems and Songs of Robert Burns is a collection of poetical works, the scope of which is as varied as it is entertaining. Burns, the "ploughman poet," could write as easily about politics, history, nationalism, hatred for pomposity and social disadvantage, and the excitement of having illicit love affairs as he could about nature and an admiration of beauty. This book contains the complete poems and songs of this remarkable man, with an introduction to and chronology of his life, a glossary of Scots words and indexes of title and first lines.

Robert Burns, der große schottische Poet: ungemein populär zu Lebzeiten, mit ungebrochenem Nachruhm bis heute. Volkstümlich - und trotzdem literarisch hochkarätig. Ein Lyriker von immenser Ausdruckskraft und staunenswerter thematischer Spannweite: Er schrieb innige, doch, wenn's sein mußte, auch recht frivole Liebeslieder; er besang die politische Freiheit ebenso wie die Menschenrechte; doch nicht minder begeistert feierte er auch den schottischen Gerstensaft - den gebrauten wie den gebrannten. The independent spirit of Scotland. Heiko Postma zeichnet ein Portrait des Barden und lebenslangen Herzensbrechers; mit über fünfzig Liedern und Gedichten, Original Scots und neu übersetzt von Heiko Postma.
