Humans possess the most expressive faces in the animal kingdom. Adam Wilkins presents evidence ranging from the fossil record to recent findings of genetics, molecular biology, and developmental biology to reconstruct the fascinating story of how the human face evolved. Beginning with the first vertebrate faces half a billion years ago and continuing to dramatic changes among our recent human ancestors, Making Faces illuminates how the unusual characteristics of the human face came about-both the physical shape of facial features and the critical role facial expression plays in human society. Offering more than an account of morphological changes over time and space, which rely on findings from paleontology and anthropology, Wilkins also draws on comparative studies of living nonhuman species. He examines the genetic foundations of the remarkable diversity in human faces, and also shows how the evolution of the face was intimately connected to the evolution of the brain. Brain structures capable of recognizing different individuals as well as "reading" and reacting to their facial expressions led to complex social exchanges. Furthermore, the neural and muscular mechanisms that created facial expressions also allowed the development of speech, which is unique to humans. In demonstrating how the physical evolution of the human face has been inextricably intertwined with our species' growing social complexity, Wilkins argues that it was both the product and enabler of human sociality.

This book is a contemporary statement of what is known about morphological development of the normal and abnormal human nervous system and puts into perspective the continued importance of changes that occur in the course of foetal development and how these processes may become defective. The first part of the book deals with the development of the central nervous system (CNS) from a morphological point of view including data from the fields of biochemistry, immunology and genetics. The second part reviews the genetic and nongenetic etiology of abnormal CNS development and discusses throughly all patologic syndromes that are related to disturbances of brain development. With the rapid progress in such modern branches of science as neurochemistry, genetics and molecular biology, this book will be invaluable for researchers working in these fields.

This book presents an overview of a new group of progenitor stem cells. Their origins were originally detected in light- and electron microscopical sections of plastic embedded human embryonal and fetal organs. The distribution of these cells can result in a large quantity of ectopic stem cells. The observation of these ectopic stem cells leads us to postulate the existence of a basic wave of stem cell progenitors. This process proceeds earlier and independently from germ cell migration. This first wave of progenitor stem cell migration initially reaches the peri-aortal AMG-region (Aortal-Mesonephric-Gonadal region). From here, some of these progenitor cells enter the aorta, are distributed through the vascular system and become the embryonal stem cells (reserve cells) in many peripheral tissues. A second part delivers progenitor cells for the adrenal 'anlage'. Within the peripheral Zona definitiva of the adrenal cortex the progenitor cells multiplicate and subsequently leave the adrenal cortex through a gate of the capsule. The progenitor cells arrive at the pre-aortal sympathic plexus ('second brain'). Within the plexus ganglia they form new organ-like clusters, the paraganglia. In a second process the progenitor cells (Chromaffine cells) enter sympathetic nerve bundles. Here an 'axonal migration' starts, which guides the progenitor cells to several peripheral organs. During this migration process the stem cells develop into their final state. In the adrenal cortex the ingrowing nerves guide the stem cells to the adrenal medulla. In the pancreas the ingrowing nerve fibers guide the stem cells to the islets. These newly detected stem cells represent a specific developmental step which is found only in humans.

Die historische Entwicklung der Zellen- und Gewebelehre ist naturgemass in ent- scheidendem Masse von der Entwicklung optischer Hilfsmittel abhangig. So wurde das um 1590 von JANSEN erfundene zusammengesetzte Mikroskop 1630 von STELLUTI zum Studium der Honigbiene und des Kornwurms benutzt, womit wohl eines der ersten Beispiele wissenschaftlichen Mikroskopierens gegeben ist. Die vor 1800 her- gestellten Mikroskope durften allerdings im Hinblick auf ihr Aufloesungsvermoegen guten einfachen Linsen unterlegen gewesen sein. Der erste, dem die Herstellung von Linsen mit ausreichender Vergroesserung gelang, um damit Zellen erkennen zu koennen, war VAN LEEUWENHOEK (1632-1723) aus Delft in Holland. Er beobachtete damit Protozoen, Pilzhyphen, Spermien und anderes biologisches Material und gehoert neben dem erwahnten STELLUTI, dem Italiener MALPIGHI (1628-1694) und dem Englander GREW (1641-1711) zu den Pionieren der Mikroskopie. Zu ihnen gehoert ferner der englische Naturforscher HooKE, der in seiner 1667 erschienenen Micrographia uber 54 mikroskopische Beobachtungen verschiedenster Art, dar- unter auch uber die wabige Bauweise des Korkes, berichtete. Er fasste die little boxes als im Dienst des Saftestromes der Pflanze stehende Gebilde auf und nannte sie cells. Die Entdeckung HooKES loeste eine Reihe mikroskopischer Studien an Pflanzen aus, die im wesentlichen zur Bestatigung der HooKEschen Beobachtung fuhrten. Obwohl die Zellen von einer Reihe von Forschern des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts mit Sicherheit gesehen wurden, blieben die Beobachtungen zunachst ohne Auswir- kung auf die Biologie. Als wesentlicher Bestandteil der Zelle wurde nach wie vor - bis ins 19. Jahrhundert hinein - die Zellwand angesehen.

Der mit dem akuten Trauma befaBte Chirurg steht nicht selten unter erheb lichem Zeitdruck. Wenige besitzen ein untrugliches "dreidimensionales" Ge dachtnis fur die verschiedenen zur Frakturversorgung notwendigen Zu gange. Ein didaktisch geschicktes, der Praxis entstammendes Nachschlage werk fur die Zugange zum Schultergurtel, Arm, Becken und Bein entspricht deshalb einem echten Bedurfnis. Es trifft dies zu fur die Notfallsituation wie auch fur den" Vorabend," beide mit ihrem Imperativ der praoperativen Planung! Herrn THOMAS RUEDI, selbst ein auch zeichnerisch begabter chirurgischer Lehrmeister, in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Anatomen ARTHuR VON HOCH STETTER und trefflich interpretiert durch den Kunstler ROBERT SCHLUMPF, ist ein neuartiges und eindruckliches Werk gelungen. Es verbindet anato misch korrekte, auf das Wesentliche beschrankte, plastisch wirkende Darstellungen chirurgischer Zugange mit ansprechender kunstlerischer Gestaltung der Abbildungen in Schwarz-WeiB-Technik. Die anatomischen Bilder werden in glucklicher Weise erganzt durch Schemazeichnungen. Das prachtvoll ausgestattete Werk durfte zu einem taglichen "Ratgeber" des traumatologisch tatigen Chirurgen werden. Es verdient weite Verbrei tung in Operationsabteilungen und in Handbibliotheken. Basel, Herbst 1983 M. ALLGOWER V Vorwort Die Osteosynthese hat ihren festen Platz in der Behandlung von Frakturen. Ihr Erfolg beruht aber nicht nur auf der genauen und stabilen Rekonstruk tion des Knochens, sondern vor allem auch auf der schonenden Behandlung der umgebenden Weichteile. Eine Schadigung von Gefassen und Nerven kann Atrophie und Verlust von Funktion verursachen, wahrend ungunstige Schnittfuhrungen durch ihre Narben behindernd wirken. Dem Zugang zum Knochen kommt deshalb in der operativen Bruchbehandlung grosse Bedeu tung zu."
