During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, ivory diptych dials
became popular devices for determining the time by the sun during
the day or by the moon at night. These elaborate portable sundials,
which could be adjusted for use in different latitudes,
incorporated various devices useful for merchants and others who
traveled extensively in Europe. This catalogue illustrates in
detail Harvard's collection of 82 ivory diptych sundials, one of
the largest holdings of these instruments in the world. The
collection encompasses a comprehensive array of styles and designs
from Nuremberg, Paris, and Dieppe, the major centers of their
production, as well as from other parts of Europe. Harvard
University has been purchasing scientific instruments on a
continuous basis for teaching and research since 1765. The
Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments, which was
established in 1949 to preserve this apparatus as a resource for
teaching and research in the history of science and technology, has
become one of the three largest university collections of its kind
in the world. It comprises about 15,000 instruments from 1500 to
the present and covers a broad range of scientific disciplines,
including astronomy, navigation, horology, surveying, geology,
calculating, physics, biology, medicine, psychology, electricity,
and communication. Illustrated catalogues of other parts of the
collection are anticipated in the near future.
Miranda knows nothing of any other life but that of her own of
hardship and misery. She knows nothing of the monsters that lurk in
the shadows, watching and waiting silently in the darkness to prey
on the weak and vunarible. She knows nothing of the life that
awaits her, until she comes face to face with one such monster.
Suddenly the life she knew is over and she is cast into an
unbelievable and unimaginable world where human lives mean
nothing.....where she is forced to kill merely to survive. Brought
home to a place she doesn't know, to live amongst the monsters she
never knew existed-to become one of those monsters herself. This
new life brings with it a family of sorts, and within that family
she is introduced to twin brothers Nathanael and Gabriel. Miranda
soon realises that she has feelings for Gabriel, but he makes it
all to clear that he does not reciprocate her feelings, Nathanael
on the other hand seems her only ally against the contempt Gabriel
shows towards her. But the brothers roles soon change when
Nathanael returns home with some unexpected news, and Gabriel
decides he has to tell Miranda the secret he's been keeping since
her arrival at their home.
Neurobiology has undergone a revolution with many advances
dependent on new techniques and approaches. This fully updated
second edition reflects the recent growth areas in this subject.
Its major themes are the fractionation and study of cellular and
subcellular components of the nervous system, chemical
neuroanatomy, and the measurement of neuronal metabolism in vivo
and in vitro. Topics include the neuronal cytoskeleton; isolation
of synaptosomes and their subcellular components; aspects of
mitochondrial defects in neurones; and synaptic transport processes
exemplified by the GABA transporter. This is an invaluable
practical laboratory manual for all researchers in neurobiology; it
contains step-by-step protocols and a troubleshooting guide, as
well as examples of experimental data and their interpretation.
