Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book consists of 23 essays about prominent people and events
in the history of respiratory physiology. It provides a first-hand
chronicle of the advancements made in respiratory physiology
starting with Galen and the beginnings of Western physiology. The
volume covers every aspect of the evolution of this important area
of knowledge: pulmonary circulation, Boyle's Law, pulmonary
capillaries and alveoli, morphology, gas exchange and blood flow,
mechanics, control of ventilation, and comparative physiology. The
book emphasizes societal and philosophical aspects of the history
of science. Although it concentrates on physiology, it also
describes how cultural movements, such as The Enlightenment, shaped
the researchers discussed. This book is published on behalf of the
American Physiological Society by Springer. Access to APS books
published with Springer is free to APS members.
Stable isotope ratio variation in natural systems reflects the
dynamics of Earth systems processes and imparts isotope labels to
Earth materials. Carbon isotope ratios of atmospheric CO2 record
exchange of carbon between the biosphere and the atmosphere; the
incredible journeys of migrating monarchs is documented by hydrogen
isotopes in their wings; and water carries an isotopic record of
its source and history as it traverses the atmosphere and land
surface. Through these and many other examples, improved
understanding of spatio-temporal isotopic variation in Earth
systems is leading to innovative new approaches to scientific
problem-solving. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of
the theory, methods, and applications that are enabling new
disciplinary and cross-disciplinary advances through the study of
"isoscapes": isotopic landscapes.
"This impressive new volume shows scientists deciphering and
using the natural isotope landscapes that subtly adorn our
spaceship Earth.," Brian Fry, Coastal Ecology Institute, Louisiana
State University, USA
"An excellent timely must read and must-have reference book for
anybody interested or engaged in applying stable isotope signatures
to questions in e.g. Anthropology, Biogeochemistry, Ecology, or
Forensic Science regarding chronological and spatial movement,
changes, or distribution relating to animals, humans, plants, or
water.," Wolfram Meier-Augenstein, Centre for Anatomy & Human
Identification, University of Dundee, UK
"Natural resources are being affected by global change, but
exactly where, how, and at what pace? Isoscapes provide new and
remarkably precise answers.," John Hayes, Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution, USA
"This exciting volume is shaping a new landscape in
environmental sciences that is utilizing the remarkable advances in
isotope research to enhance and extend the capabilities of the

This book is an informal autobiography by John West MD PhD. He
obtained his medical degree in Adelaide, Australia and then spent
15 years mainly at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School,
Hammersmith Hospital in London where he, with others, used
radioactive oxygen-15 to make the first description of the uneven
regional distribution of blood flow in the lung. In 1960-1961, he
was a member of the Himalayan Scientific and Mountaineering
Expedition led by Sir Edmund Hillary who had made the first ascent
of Mt Everest 7 years before. During the expedition about 6
scientists spent up to three months at an altitude of 5800 m
studying the effects of this very high altitude on human
physiology. Because of his interests in the effects of gravity on
the lung, Dr. West spent a year at the NASA Ames Research Center in
Mountain View, California in 1967-1968. While there he submitted a
proposal to NASA to measure pulmonary function of astronauts in
space, and this was funded. Later, in 1981 he organized the
American Medical Research Expedition to Everest during which the
first measurements of human physiology on the summit, altitude 8848
m, were obtained. In the 1990's, Dr. West's team made the first
comprehensive measurements of pulmonary function of astronauts in
space using SpaceLab which was taken up in the Shuttle.

This lively well-illustrated collection of articles written by a
group of particle physicists at Los Alamos National Laboratory
presents to the expert and non-expert alike a comprehensive
overview of the major theoretical and experimental advances of the
past twenty years. It explains the emergence of a profoundly new
understanding of the fundamental forces of Nature. With the
unification of the weak and electromagnetic interaction, physicists
now stand at the brink of a complete unification of all the forces,
including gravity. This achievement brought with it a rich
vocabulary of names and concepts: quarks, gluons and nonabelian
gauge theories. The exposition of these ideas, done on a variety of
technical levels is designed to interest a broad audience ranging
from the professional theorist and experimentalist to the
inquisitive student. Anyone with an interest in particle physics
can enjoy this book.
This long-awaited textbook is the most comprehensive introduction
to a broad swath of combinatorial and discrete mathematics. The
text covers enumeration, graphs, sets, and methods, and it includes
both classical results and more recent developments. Assuming no
prior exposure to combinatorics, it explains the basic material for
graduate-level students in mathematics and computer science.
Optional more advanced material also makes it valuable as a
research reference. Suitable for a one-year course or a
one-semester introduction, this textbook prepares students to move
on to more advanced material. It is organized to emphasize
connections among the topics, and facilitate instruction,
self-study, and research, with more than 2200 exercises (many
accompanied by hints) at various levels of difficulty. Consistent
notation and terminology are used throughout, allowing for a
discussion of diverse topics in a unified language. The thorough
bibliography, containing thousands of citations, makes this a
valuable source for students and researchers alike.

The Second Edition of Pulmonary Physiology and Pathophysiology
presents normal and abnormal pulmonary function in the same
case-based format that has made the first edition a favorite among
students. Each chapter begins with a clinical case study of
diseases typically seen by practitioners. The cases are followed by
a discussion and breakdown of the physiology, pathophysiology,
anatomy, pharmacology, and pathology for each disease, and a
question-and-answer section. This edition has an infectious
diseases chapter, updates on asthma pathogenesis and
bronchodilators, and user-friendly features such as chapter
openers, chapter outlines, "key points" summary boxes, and
board-formatted questions and answers.
Scaling relationships are a persistent theme in biology. Examples include branching patterns of blood vessels, structural and functional correlates of body size, distribution of body size and abundance among species, and variations in populations within an area or over time. This book, based on a conference at the Santa Fe Institute, brings together many of the most prominent workers in the area to assess our current understanding of scaling relationships at the physiological, biomechanical, and ecological levels.
