Arachnids rarely come to mind when one discusses arthropod
neurobiology. In fact much more is now known and written about the
nervous systems of insects and crustaceans. Several arguments have
led us to conclude, however, that the time has come to document
impor tant aspects of the neurobiology of spiders, scorpions, and
their kin, as well. Studies of arachnid neurobiology have made
considerable progress since the last comprehensive treatment by
Bullock and Horridge in their monumental monograph on invertebrate
nervous systems pub lished in 1965. This is especially true for
research performed in the last decade. Several problems related to
the structure and function of arachnid nervous and sensory systems
have now been studied in con siderable depth but have so far not
been given adequate space under one cover. A particular incentive
to produce this book has been the impor tance attributed to
comparative approaches in neurobiology. Neglect ing a large
taxonomic group such as the arachnids - which comprises some 60,000
species living a wide range of different lives - would mean
ignoring an enormous potential source of knowledge. In writing the
chapters of this book we have striven to present some of the unique
features of the arachnids. But the result of our efforts is not
just meant to contribute to an understanding of the particularities
of the arach nids."

This is a new release of the original 1944 edition.
The child who knows the letters of the alphabet is ready to learn
the sound of each letter. Letter Sounds to Help Parents Help Their
Children, created by 18-year teaching veteran Peggy L. Forster, is
a work-with book that is filled with colorful pictures of animals,
toys, food, things you wear, things you use, things that grow, and
other things that are familiar to preschoolers. There are questions
that will focus attention on the letter sound being learned and
answers to those questions at the bottom of the page (to help make
the parent look good).
The lessons are visual and verbal. No writing is involved, but
the involvement of a parent, grandparent, or older sibling is
essential. That's why it's called a work-with book, not a
workbook.
For the child who is learning English as a second language
(ESL), the picture pages can add immeasurably to his or her
vocabulary. At least 250 words are needed to identify pictures and
complete the exercises.
