Nearly 10 years have elapsed since I finished writing the first
edition of Intro duction to Molecular Embryology. During this
period, molecular embryology has made great strides forward, but
without undergoing a major revolution; there fore, the general
philosophy and outline of the book have remained almost un changed.
However, all the chapters had to be almost completely rewritten in
or der to introduce new facts and to eliminate findings which have
lost interest or have been disproved. There was a major gap in the
first edition of this book: very little was said about mammalian
eggs despite their obvious interest for mankind. Research on
mammalian eggs and embryos is so active today that this important
topic deserves a full chapter in a book concerned with molecular
embryology. Therefore, I am very thankful to my colleague Dr. Henri
Alexandre, who has written a chapter on mammalian embryology (Chap.
9) and has prepared all the illustrations for this book."
William S. Burroughs Cutting Up the Century is the definitive book
on Burroughs' overarching cut-up project and its relevance to the
American twentieth century. Burroughs's Nova Trilogy (The Soft
Machine, Nova Express, and The Ticket That Exploded) remains the
best-known of his textual cut-up creations, but he committed more
than a decade of his life to searching out multimedia for use in
works of collage. By cutting up, folding in, and splicing together
newspapers, magazines, letters, book reviews, classical literature,
audio recordings, photographs, and films, Burroughs created an
eclectic and wide-ranging countercultural archive. This collection
includes previously unpublished work by Burroughs such as cut-ups
of work written by his son, cut-ups of critical responses to his
own work, collages on the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal,
excerpts from his dream journals, and some of the few diary entries
that Burroughs wrote about his wife, Joan. William S. Burroughs
Cutting Up the Century also features original essays, interviews,
and discussions by established Burroughs scholars, respected
artists, and people who encountered Burroughs. The essays consider
Burroughs from a range of starting points-literary studies, media
studies, popular culture, gender studies, post-colonialism,
history, and geography. Ultimately, the collection situates
Burroughs as a central artist and thinker of his time and considers
his insights on political and social problems that have become even
more dire in ours.
These short plays by the great Danish-Norwegian playwright Ludvig
Holberg reveal, in brilliant and sparking miniature, his genius for
comedy. The plays are here translated into English for the first
time, with an introduction by Svend Kragh-Jacobsen, well-known
Danish theater critic. In these social comedies Holberg pricks the
vanity of snobbery and the worship of riches, deals with the world
of the philosophers, and has fun with the theme of common sense. A
talkative barber, a scientific charlatan, and an ignorant farmer
boy come in for sharp characterization. Originally published in
1950. 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.
