Over the last twenty-five years, there has been an extensive
effort, still growing for that matter, to explore and understand
the organization of extrastriate cor tex in primates. We now
recognize that most of caudal neocortex is visual in some sense and
that this large visual region includes many distinct areas. Some of
these areas have been well defined, and connections, neural
properties, and the functional consequences of deactivations have
been studied. More recently, non invasive imaging of cortical
activity patterns during visual tasks has led to an expanding
stream of papers on extrastriate visual cortex of humans, and
results have been related to theories of visual cortex organization
that have emerged from research on monkeys. Against this backdrop,
the time seems ripe for a review of progress and a glance at the
future. One caveat important to emphasize at the very onset is that
the reader may be puzzled or confused by the use of different
terminologies. Individual investi gators commonly tend to favor
different terminologies, but in general some prove more
advantageous than others. As discussed by Rowe and Stone (1977) as
well as by others, there is an unfortunate tendency for
role-indicating names to lead to fixed ideas about function, in
contrast to those that are more neutral and adaptable to new
findings.
Volume 10 is a direct continuation and extension of Volume 3 in
this series, Visual Cortex. Given the impressive proliferation of
papers on visual cortex over the intervening eight years, Volume 10
has specifically targeted visual cortex in primates and, even so,
it has not been possible to survey all of the major or relevant
developments in this area. Some research areas are experiencing
rapid change and can best be treated more comprehensively in a
subsequent volume; for example, elaboration of color vision;
patterns and subdivisions of functional columns. One major goal of
this volume has been to provide an overview of the intrinsic
structural and functional aspects of area 17 itself. Considerable
pro gress has been made since 1985 in unraveling the modular and
laminar organi zation of area 17; and this aspect is directly
addressed in the chapters by Peters, Lund et al., Wong-Riley, and
Casagrande and Kaas. A recurring leitmotif here is the evidence for
precise and exquisite order in the interlaminar and tangential
connectivity of elements. At the same time, however, as detailed by
Lund et al. and Casagrande and Kaas, the very richness of the
connectivity implies a multi plicity of processing routes. This
reinforces evidence that parallel pathways may not be strictly
segregated. Further connectional complexity is contributed by the
various sets of inhibitory neurons, as reviewed by Lund et al. and
Jones et al.
When Daniel Boone heard a neighbor's dog bark, he moved West. But
when there's no Wild West left, where is adventure to be found?
Michael Aaron Rockland looks for adventure in the megalopolis, "not
where no one has been but where no one wishes to go . . . across
traffic-clogged cities, the parking lots of wall-to-wall suburban
malls, and the sinister waterways that seep through rusting
industrial sites." In these ten alternately poetic and comic tales
of adventure in the New York/Philadelphia corridor, the most
densely populated chunk of America, Rockland walks and bikes areas
meant only for cars and paddles through waters capable of
dissolving canoes. He hikes the length of New York's Broadway,
camps in New York City, treks across Philadelphia, pedals among the
tractor trailers of Route 1 in New Jersey, and paddles around
Manhattan and through the dark tunnels under Trenton. Whereas Henry
David Thoreau built his cabin on Walden Pond to get out of town,
for Rockland, the challenge is to head into town. As he writes, "in
the late twentieth century, a weed and trash-filled city lot . . .
may be a better place than the wilderness to contemplate one's
relationship to nature."

Several excellent monographs exist which deal with axons. These,
however, focus either on the cellular and molecular biology of
axons proper or on network organization of connections, the latter
with only an incidental or abstract reference to axons per se.
Still relatively neglected, however, is the middle ground of
terminations and trajectories of single axons in the mammalian
central nervous system. This middle level of connectivity, between
networks on the one hand and local, in vitro investigations on the
other, is to some extent represented by retrograde tracer studies
and labeled neurons, but there have so far been many fewer of the
complementary anterograde studies, with total visualization of the
axonal arborization. The present volume brings together in one
source an interrelated treatment of single axons from the
perspective of microcircuitry and as substrates of larger scale
organization (tractography). Especially for the former area - axons
in microcircuitry - an abundance of published data exists, but
these are typically in specialty journals that are not often
accessed by the broader community. By highlighting and unifying the
span from microcircuitry to tractography, the proposed volume
serves as a convenient reference source and in addition inspires
further interactions between what currently tend to be separate
communities. The volume also redresses the imbalance between in
vitro/local connectivity and long-distance connections. Focusing on
mammalian systems, Part 1 of this book is devoted to anatomical
investigations of connections at the single axon level, drawing on
modern techniques and classical methods from the 1990s. A
particular emphasis is on broad coverage of cortical and
subcortical connections from different species, so that common
patterns of divergence, convergence, and collateralization can be
easily appreciated. Part 2 addresses mechanisms of axon guidance,
as these seem particularly relevant to pathways and branching
patterns. Part 3 covers axon dynamics and functional aspects; and
Part 4 focuses on tractography, notably including comparisons
between histological substrates and imaging.
Container shipping is a vital part of the global economy. Goods
from all around the world, from vegetables to automobiles, are
placed in large metal containers which are transported across the
ocean in ships, then loaded onto tractor-trailers and railroad
flatbeds. But when and where did this world-changing invention get
started? Â This fascinating study traces the birth of
containerization to Port Newark, New Jersey, in 1956 when trucker
Malcom McLean thought of a brilliant new way to transport cargo. It
tells the story of how Port Newark grew rapidly as McLean’s idea
was backed by both New York banks and the US military, who used
containerization to ship supplies to troops in Vietnam. Angus
Gillespie takes us behind the scenes of today’s active container
shipping operations in Port Newark, talking to the pilots who guide
the ships into port, the Coast Guard personnel who help manage the
massive shipping traffic, the crews who unload the containers, and
even the chaplains who counsel and support the mariners. Port
Newark shines a spotlight on the unsung men and women who help this
complex global shipping operation run smoothly. Since McLean's
innovation, Port Newark has expanded with the addition of the
nearby Elizabeth Marine Terminal. This New Jersey complex now makes
up the busiest seaport on the East Coast of the United
States. Some have even called it “America’s Front
Door.â€Â The book tells the story of the rapid growth of
worldwide containerization, and how Port Newark has adapted to
bigger ships with deeper channels and a raised bridge. In the end,
there is speculation of the future of this port with
ever-increasing automation, artificial intelligence, and
automation.
Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (1811-1888), Argentine educator,
statesman, and writer, self-educated after the model of Benjamin
Franklin, was "not a man but a nation," in the words of Mrs. Horace
Mann. Like De Tocqueville, this remarkable man visited the United
States in its early years and wrote a detailed account of this new
phenomenon. Full of shrewd social commentary and unique vignettes
of the America of this period-of Boston, for instance, where
Sarmiento met the Horace Manns and later Emerson and
Longfellow-Travels should take its place among the important
commentaries on the United States written during the last century
by foreign visitors. Professor Rockland's introductory essay
provides the broader context in which Travels must be seen: its
place in Sarmiento's life and career and its importance as
testimony to forgotten lines of influence between North and South
America. Originally published in 1970. The Princeton Legacy Library
uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
