Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Several excellent monographs exist which deal with axons. These,
however, focus either on the cellular and molecular biology of
axons proper or on network organization of connections, the latter
with only an incidental or abstract reference to axons per se.
Still relatively neglected, however, is the middle ground of
terminations and trajectories of single axons in the mammalian
central nervous system. This middle level of connectivity, between
networks on the one hand and local, in vitro investigations on the
other, is to some extent represented by retrograde tracer studies
and labeled neurons, but there have so far been many fewer of the
complementary anterograde studies, with total visualization of the
axonal arborization. The present volume brings together in one
source an interrelated treatment of single axons from the
perspective of microcircuitry and as substrates of larger scale
organization (tractography). Especially for the former area - axons
in microcircuitry - an abundance of published data exists, but
these are typically in specialty journals that are not often
accessed by the broader community. By highlighting and unifying the
span from microcircuitry to tractography, the proposed volume
serves as a convenient reference source and in addition inspires
further interactions between what currently tend to be separate
communities. The volume also redresses the imbalance between in
vitro/local connectivity and long-distance connections. Focusing on
mammalian systems, Part 1 of this book is devoted to anatomical
investigations of connections at the single axon level, drawing on
modern techniques and classical methods from the 1990s. A
particular emphasis is on broad coverage of cortical and
subcortical connections from different species, so that common
patterns of divergence, convergence, and collateralization can be
easily appreciated. Part 2 addresses mechanisms of axon guidance,
as these seem particularly relevant to pathways and branching
patterns. Part 3 covers axon dynamics and functional aspects; and
Part 4 focuses on tractography, notably including comparisons
between histological substrates and imaging.
Over the last twenty-five years, there has been an extensive
effort, still growing for that matter, to explore and understand
the organization of extrastriate cor tex in primates. We now
recognize that most of caudal neocortex is visual in some sense and
that this large visual region includes many distinct areas. Some of
these areas have been well defined, and connections, neural
properties, and the functional consequences of deactivations have
been studied. More recently, non invasive imaging of cortical
activity patterns during visual tasks has led to an expanding
stream of papers on extrastriate visual cortex of humans, and
results have been related to theories of visual cortex organization
that have emerged from research on monkeys. Against this backdrop,
the time seems ripe for a review of progress and a glance at the
future. One caveat important to emphasize at the very onset is that
the reader may be puzzled or confused by the use of different
terminologies. Individual investi gators commonly tend to favor
different terminologies, but in general some prove more
advantageous than others. As discussed by Rowe and Stone (1977) as
well as by others, there is an unfortunate tendency for
role-indicating names to lead to fixed ideas about function, in
contrast to those that are more neutral and adaptable to new
findings."
Volume 10 is a direct continuation and extension of Volume 3 in
this series, Visual Cortex. Given the impressive proliferation of
papers on visual cortex over the intervening eight years, Volume 10
has specifically targeted visual cortex in primates and, even so,
it has not been possible to survey all of the major or relevant
developments in this area. Some research areas are experiencing
rapid change and can best be treated more comprehensively in a
subsequent volume; for example, elaboration of color vision;
patterns and subdivisions of functional columns. One major goal of
this volume has been to provide an overview of the intrinsic
structural and functional aspects of area 17 itself. Considerable
pro gress has been made since 1985 in unraveling the modular and
laminar organi zation of area 17; and this aspect is directly
addressed in the chapters by Peters, Lund et al., Wong-Riley, and
Casagrande and Kaas. A recurring leitmotif here is the evidence for
precise and exquisite order in the interlaminar and tangential
connectivity of elements. At the same time, however, as detailed by
Lund et al. and Casagrande and Kaas, the very richness of the
connectivity implies a multi plicity of processing routes. This
reinforces evidence that parallel pathways may not be strictly
segregated. Further connectional complexity is contributed by the
various sets of inhibitory neurons, as reviewed by Lund et al. and
Jones et al."
This book presents the proceedings of the Tenth Basic Symposium
sponsored by the Institute of Food Technologists and the
International Union of Food Science and Technology. The key aim of
the Symposium was to explore some basic principles relating to the
influences of water activity on food quality.

Anaerobic digestion technology may help to address two
congressional concerns that have some measure of interdependence:
development of clean energy sources and reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions. Anaerobic digestion technology breaks down a feedstock,
usually manure from livestock operations, to produce a variety of
outputs including methane. An anaerobic digestion system may reduce
greenhouse gas emissions because it captures the methane from
manure that might otherwise be released into the atmosphere as a
potent greenhouse gas. This book provides information on anaerobic
digestion systems, technology adoption, challenges to widespread
implementation, and policy interventions that could affect adoption
of the technology.
Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (1811-1888), Argentine educator,
statesman, and writer, self-educated after the model of Benjamin
Franklin, was "not a man but a nation," in the words of Mrs. Horace
Mann. Like De Tocqueville, this remarkable man visited the United
States in its early years and wrote a detailed account of this new
phenomenon. Full of shrewd social commentary and unique vignettes
of the America of this period-of Boston, for instance, where
Sarmiento met the Horace Manns and later Emerson and
Longfellow-Travels should take its place among the important
commentaries on the United States written during the last century
by foreign visitors. Professor Rockland's introductory essay
provides the broader context in which Travels must be seen: its
place in Sarmiento's life and career and its importance as
testimony to forgotten lines of influence between North and South
America. Originally published in 1970. 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.

Since opening in 1931, the George Washington Bridge, linking New
York and New Jersey, has become the busiest bridge in the world,
with 103 million vehicles crossing it in 2016. Many people also
consider it the most beautiful bridge in the world, yet remarkably
little has been written about this majestic structure. Intimate and
engaging, this revised and expanded edition of Michael Rockland's
rich narrative presents perspectives on the GWB, as it is often
called, that span history, architecture, engineering,
transportation, design, the arts, politics, and even post-9/11
mentalities. This new edition brings new insight since its initial
publication in 2008, including a new chapter on the infamous
'Bridgegate' Chris Christie-era scandal of 2013, when members of
the governor's administration shut down access to the bridge,
causing a major traffic jam and scandal and subsequently helping
undermine Christie's candidacy for the US presidency. Stunning
photos, from when the bridge was built in the late 1920s through
the present, are a powerful complement to the bridge's history.
Rockland covers the competition between the GWB and the Brooklyn
Bridge that parallels the rivalry between New Jersey and New York
City. Readers will learn about the Swiss immigrant Othmar Ammann,
an unsung hero who designed and built the GWB, and how a lack of
funding during the Depression dictated the iconic, uncovered steel
beams of its towers, which we admire today. There are chapters
discussing accidents on the bridge, such as an airplane crash
landing in the westbound lanes and the sad story of suicides off
its span; the appearance of the bridge in media and the arts; and
Rockland's personal adventures on the bridge, including scaling its
massive towers on a cable. Movies, television shows, songs, novels,
countless images, and even PlayStation 2 games have aided the GWB
in becoming a part of the global popular culture. This tribute will
captivate residents living in the shadow of the GWB, the millions
who walk, jog, bike, skate, or drive across it, as well as tourists
and those who will visit it someday.
