The Fate of Empires asks why many civilizations throughout human
history have risen to greatness but later collapse into ruin. Can
there be a permanent society, or are all doomed to decline? In the
first part of this book, the author constructs several arguments
based on parallels he observed in civilizations of antiquity. The
reasons for the rise of various civilizations, and the forces which
contribute to their success, are discussed. Hubbard proceeds to
establish points surrounding human nature and racial identity,
religious adherence, and the prevalence of rationality and reason:
these attributes of mankind, when in harmony, establish
sophisticated and prospering civilizations. For the author, when
these traits are upset - as in conflicts between individual values
and the requirements of the state - decline will set in. The
overemphasis of the competitive traits of man likewise lead to a
decline in moral and social cohesiveness.

The peripheral nervous system is usually defined as the cranial
nerves, spinal nerves, and peripheral ganglia which lie outside the
brain and spinal cord. To describe the structure and function of
this system in one book may have been possible last century. Today,
only a judicious selection is possible. It may be fairly claimed
that the title of this book is not misleading, for in keeping the
text within bounds only accounts of olfaction, vision, audition,
and vestibular function have been omitted, and as popularly
understood these topics fall into the category of special senses.
This book contains a comprehensive treatment of the structure and
function of peripheral nerves (including axoplasmic flow and
trophic func tions); junctional regions in the autonomic and
somatic divisions of the peripheral nervous system; receptors in
skin, tongue, and deeper tissues; and the integrative role of
ganglia. It is thus a handbook of the peripheral nervous system as
it is usually understood for teaching purposes. The convenience of
having this material inside one set of covers is already proven,
for my colleagues were borrowing parts of the text even while the
book was in manuscript. It is my belief that lecturers will find
here the information they need, while graduate students will be
able to get a sound yet easily read account of results of research
in their area. JOHN 1. HUBBARD vii Contents SECTION I-PERIPHERAL
