This book is a collection of papers describing some of the first
attempts to apply the techniques of recombinant DNA and molecular
biology to studies of the nervous system. We believe this is an
important new direction for brain research that will eventually
lead to insights not pos sible with more traditional approaches. At
first glance, the marriage of molecular biology to brain research
seems an unlikely one because of the tremendous disparity in the
histories of these two disciplines and the problems they face.
Molecular biology is by nature a reductionist approach to biology.
Molecular biologists have always tried to attack central questions
in the most direct approach possible, usually in the most simple
system available: a bacterium or a bacterial virus. Important
experiments can usually be repeated quickly and cheaply, in many
cases by the latest group of graduate students entering the field.
The success of molecular biology has been so profound because the
result of each important experiment has made the next critical
question obvious, and usually answerable, in short order. Studies
of the nervous system have a very different history. First, the
human brain is what really interests us and it is the most complex
structure that we know in biology. The central question is clear:
How do we carry out higher functions such as learning and thinking?
How ever, at present there is no widely accepted and testable
theory of learn ing and no clear path to such a theory."
In the four provinces of Ireland there are thirty-two counties.
Each county and its people have their own traditions, beliefs and
folklore - and each one is also inhabited by the Sidhe: an ancient
and magical race. Some believe they are descended from fallen
angels, whilst others say they are the progeny of Celtic deities.
They go by many names: the good folk, the wee folk, the gentle
people and the fey, but are most commonly known as 'the fairies'.
These are not the whimsical fairies of Victorian and Edwardian
picture books. They are feared and revered in equal measure, and
even in the twenty-first century are spoken of in hushed tones. The
fairies are always listening. Storyteller Steve Lally and his wife
singer-songwriter Paula Flynn Lally have compiled this magnificent
collection of magical fairy stories from every county in Ireland.
Filled with unique illustrations that bring these tales to life,
Irish Gothic Fairy Stories will both enthral and terrify readers
for generations to come.

Cyberpunk is dead. The revolution has been co-opted by half-assed
heroes, overclocked CGI, and tricked-out shades. Once radical,
cyberpunk is now nothing more than a brand. Time to stop flipping
the channel. These sixteen extreme stories reveal a government
ninja routed by a bicycle repairman, the inventor of digitized
paper hijacked by his college crush, a dead boy trapped in a warped
storybook paradise, and the queen of England attacked with the
deadliest of forbidden technology: a working modem. You'll meet
Manfred Macx, renegade meme-broker, Red Sonja, virtual reality
sex-goddess, and Felix, humble sys-admin and post-apocalyptic hero.
Editors James Patrick Kelly and John Kessel (Feeling Very Strange:
The Slipstream Anthology) have united cyberpunk visionaries William
Gibson, Bruce Sterling, and Pat Cadigan with the new post-cyberpunk
vanguard, including Cory Doctorow, Charles Stross, and Jonathan
Lethem. Including a canon-establishing introduction and excerpts
from a hotly contested online debate, Rewired is the first
anthology to define and capture the crackling excitement of the
post-cyberpunks. From the grittiness of Mirrorshades to the
Singularity and beyond, it's time to revive the revolution.

X Flight was designated the task of giving close air support to the
desert army formed and commanded by Lawrence of Arabia. It flew
from advanced desert landing grounds on reconnaissance, liaison,
bombing and ground attack missions. The existence and deeds of the
flight were kept secret, so much so that even the RFC Paymaster was
unaware of their existence. George Hynes was an aircraft mechanic
and became responsible for keeping the flights somewhat elderly
aircraft airworthy whilst working in the most difficult desert
conditions on hastily constructed landing strips and living and
working under canvas in temperatures that froze at night and rose
to 100 degrees plus at noon. His diary gives a clear insight into
the conditions endured, the actions that took place and the many
almost insurmountable problems that occurred as they followed
Lawrences steady advance against the numerically superior Turkish
Army and Air Force. George personally encountered Lawrence on many
occasions and maintained contact with him after the war. The diary
is supported with the Flights weekly operational records,
perspectives of the battle scenarios and other background
information
