Intertidal Fishes describes the fishes inhabiting the narrow strip of habitat between the high and low tide marks along the rocky coastlines of the world. It analyzes the specialized traits of these fishes that have adapted to living in the dynamic and challenging space where they are alternately exposed to the air and submerged in water with the ebb and flow of the tides. This book provides a comprehensive account of fishes largely overlooked in many previous studies of intertidal organisms and emphasizes how they differ from fishes living in other deeper-water habitats. Coverage includes air breathing, movements and homing, sensory systems, spawning and parental care, feeding habits, community structure, systematic relationships, distribution patterns, and the fossil record in the intertidal zone.

3 There are other trends in the attempt to meld evolution and development which immodesty permits me to add. I have been concerned over the years with the selection forces which might have produced larger organisms and therefore a development of increasing complexity. This is nowhere more evident than in the multiple evolutionary origins of multicellularity and all the variety of developmental mechanics that have gone with it. (I discuss this and related themes in various places, but see especially The Evolution of Development (1958; (1)) and Size and Cycle (1965; (2)). To some degree these examples of the bringing together of evolu tion and development are exceptions. By far the most important historical trends in this century have been the success of in dividual disciplines. Embryology had its great flowering be ginning in the last century, coming to a climax with the work of Spemann on induction in the first two decades of this cen tury. Genetics has had an extraordinary continuing series of revolutions beginning with the rediscovery of Mendel and pro gressing through Morgan to the flash flood of molecular genetics and the structure of DNA. This flood was a flash only in the sense that it rushed upon us with amazing speed; its effects in the form of important and exciting work produced has not subsided and we are still in a peak period of molecular genetics."

Die moderne Computertechnik lasst sich nicht unabhangig von den Kommunikationsprozessen begreifen, in denen sie tagtaglich verwendet wird. Sie bringen die Technik in eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen, variierenden Bedeutungen. Diese empirische Studie stellt diesen 'Gestaltwandel' des Computers in Konstruktions- und Designburos moderner Produktionsunternehmen heraus. Dabei wird der Computer als Gegenstand von Bedeutungszuschreibungen und als eine komplexe, irritierende Technik vorgefuhrt. In dieser Doppelrolle regt der Computer zu seiner permanenten kommunikativen Neuinterpretation und damit auch zur mitunter uberraschenden Veranderung der sozialen Kontexte, in denen er eingesetzt wird, an.
