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.

Pacific Pidgins and Creoles discusses the complex and fascinating history of English-based pidgins in the Pacific, especially the three closely related Melanesian pidgins: Tok Pisin, Pijin, and Bislama. The book details the central role of the port of Sydney and the linguistic synergies between Australia and the Pacific islands in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the role of Pacific islander plantation labor overseas, and the differentiation which has taken place in the pidgins spoken in the Melanesian island states in the 20th century. It also looks at the future of Pacific pidgins at a time of increasing vernacular language endangerment.

This volume presents a list of cutting-edge protocols for the study of CRISPR-Cas defense systems and their applications at the genomic, genetic, biochemical and structural levels. CRISPR: Methods and Protocols guides readers through techniques that have been developed specifically for the analysis of CRISPR-Cas and techniques adapted from standard protocols of DNA, RNA and protein biology. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, CRISPR: Methods and Protocols provides a broad list of tools and techniques to study the interdisciplinary aspects of the prokaryotic CRISPR-Cas defense systems.

This book was originally a collection of autobiographical short stories but I decided to turn it into a memoir novella. It does stand on its own two feet as a single work but it can be read as a collection of short stories. Memoirs of Love can be broken down into three parts. The first part of this book is about my youth. Most of these stories were written as a young man. These stories are memoirs of love based on youthful adventures with my grandfather, other family members and friends. The second part: At Summer's End is a conventional love story between a young man and a young lady. The last part of the book focuses on the first couple of years I lived abroad. It is incomplete and I left out details because I will write about this section in detail in a full length novel that I am still writing. In fact this entire book with the exception of At Summers' End is a sketch of an unfinished work. I wrote this novella so that I could introduce my full length novel-memoir to my readers. The story At Summers' End which is the subtitle of my novella is the only story that's complete. However, I leave out some minutiae for a full length novel of the story mentioned above.

In this book, several world experts present (one part of) the mathematical heritage of Kolmogorov. Each chapter treats one of his research themes or a subject invented as a consequence of his discoveries. The authors present his contributions, his methods, the perspectives he opened to us, and the way in which this research has evolved up to now. Coverage also includes examples of recent applications and a presentation of the modern prospects.

This book, first published in 1931, provides a valuable account of Rousseau's early years, giving an insight into his later philosophies, as well as showing the development of his thought.
