Dental chapters of Serefeddin Sabuncuoglu's ? From the 7th to the 11th centuries Arabic authors translated ancient Greek and Roman medical textbooks into their own languages. In the 11th and 12th centuries, noted authors used these early translations when writing other classical texts. One of these was that of the Andalusian surgeon, Albulcasis , whose famous work is entitled, at-Tasrif 4,6. It has been used as a reference book for centuries and was translated into Latin in the 15th century and into Turkish by me when I discovered a manuscript of it in the Manisa Library in Turkey The best interpreter of it, however, was Serefeddin Sabuncuoglu He used the classification of at-Tasrif, but improved on it by adding original observations and three original chapters.

A list of important precepts to guide academic publishing is presented based on the author's experience as the author of numerous journal articles, the editor of 4 journals, and the author or editor of 11 books. These precepts cover the full array of the publication, from first conceptualizing a research project through promoting one's own work. In the United Pueblo Agency produced a bibliography that lists the titles, authors, and sources of theses and published books on each of the 16 New Mexico Pueblos.

Quanti-chanwei is the first technical book on human anatomy written in Chinese and brought to Modern China. It was compiled and translated on the basis of Anatomy, Descriptive and Surgical first edition in by Henry Gray. Quanti-chanwei was published with intent to establish Chinese translations for terms referring to anatomy, and it gained broad support from medical missionaries who mainly served in Guangdong, Shanghai, and Fuzhou at that time. Quanti-tongkao was also complied and translated on the basis of Gray' Anatomy, Descriptive and Surgical.

It was published from Jingshi Tongwen Guan, The Academy of Foreign Languages in the Qing dynasty, and they selected different words for the translation into Chinese from Quanti-chanwei. Thus, although Gray' Anatomy, Descriptive and Surgical played a great role in the introduction of Western Medicine into Modern China, there was no accordance between the national government and the provinces regarding Chinese translations for terms referring to anatomy.

They discussed the growth of e- books This book aims to make successful publications happen--anticipating how an as yet unpublished author might feel at various stages and coaches them through the best and worst. The book provides easy-to-follow strategies that actually get results. Among the 20 steps to success in the book are the following: Book Trade Research and Statistics.

Book Exports and Imports: Includes six articles that report on prices of U. The second - revised and enlarged - edition of this popular monograph is co-authored by Michael Kahnert and is published as Volume of the Springer Series in Optical Sciences. As in the first edition, the main emphasis is on the mathematics of electromagnetic scattering and on numerically exact computer solutions of the frequency-domain macroscopic Maxwell equations for particles with complex shapes. The book is largely centered on Green-function solution of relevant boundary value problems and the T-matrix methodology, although other techniques the method of lines, integral equation methods, and Lippmann-Schwinger equations are also covered.

The first four chapters serve as a thorough overview of key theoretical aspects of electromagnetic scattering intelligible to readers with undergraduate training in mathematics. A separate chapter provides an instructive analysis of the Rayleigh hypothesis which is still viewed by many as a highly controversial aspect of electromagnetic scattering by nonspherical objects.

Another dedicated chapter introduces basic quantities serving as optical observables in practical applications. A welcome extension of the first edition is the new chapter on group theoretical aspects of electromagnetic scattering by particles with discrete symmetries. An essential part of the book is the penultimate chapter describing in detail popular public-domain computer programs mieschka and Tsym which can be applied to a wide range of particle shapes.

The final chapter provides a general overview of available literature on electromagnetic scattering by particles and gives useful reading advice. Water, water quality and health Chapter 3 in Book entitled: Environmental Tracking for Public Health Surveillance. This chapter identifies the role environmental tracking plays in identifying public health water hazard and water quality issues. It outlines public health issues to be examined and provides an integrated overview of water and diseases by combining knowledge of the hydrological The main focus of this chapter is to address experimental strategies on the subject by providing a hands-on guide to fast MAS experiments, with a particular focus on indirect detection.

Although our experience is limited to our respective laboratories in Ames and Yokohama, we hope that our descriptions of experimental setups and optimization procedures are sufficiently general to be applicable to all modern instruments. The chapter is organized as follows. Section 2 below introduces briefly the fast MAS technology and its main advantages. The basic features of digital reading devices such as the Amazon Kindle are described in this article.

Rooted in the transactional theory of reader response and a new…. Challenging students to educate the public about how rhetoric functions is a primary impetus of the argumentative dictionary e Book. In this author's classes, "rhetoric" means the communicative tactics and strategies used to motivate actions and beliefs.

With its emphasis on open-access rhetorical pedagogy, this project and its impetus…. From Writer to Reader. This book describes the various stages of book publishing and the people responsible for those stages. Its seventeen chapters discuss the following topics: Why rehabilitation is needed by individual and society. The chapter describes the increasing burden of disability due to conditions seen in PRM practice rather than on all those diseases contributing to physical disablement and does not include mental illness, learning disabilities, etc.

Ten percent of Western Europe's population have a disability and are surviving longer, resulting in higher costs for health and social care and a greater impact of co-morbidities. The chapter also describes the impact and increased costs in the absence of rehabilitation. Not only is money spent on rehabilitation recovered with five to nine-fold savings e. Specialized rehabilitation as delivered by PRM services is highly cost-efficient for all neurological conditions, producing substantial savings in ongoing care costs, especially in high-dependency patients.

Disability discrimination has been outlawed and the text describes the legal context and status of a person living in Europe with a disability. The second part highlights the United Nations Conventions on human rights, confirmed in the World Report on Disability, but also on the principles of ethical practice among PRM physicians. The third part addresses the variability of access to and funding of rehabilitation services across countries.

Tools for opening new chapters in the book of Treponema pallidum evolutionary history. Treponema pallidum infections causing yaws disease and venereal syphilis are globally widespread in human populations, infecting hundreds of thousands and millions annually respectively; endemic syphilis is much less common, and pinta has not been observed in decades.

We discuss controversy surrounding the origin, evolution and history of these pathogens in light of available molecular and anthropological evidence. These bacteria or close relatives seem to affect many wild African nonhuman primate NHP species, though to date only a single NHP Treponema pallidum genome has been published , hindering detection of spillover events and our understanding of potential wildlife reservoirs. Similarly, only ten genomes of Treponema pallidum infecting humans have been published , impeding a full understanding of their diversity and evolutionary history.

Research efforts have been hampered by the difficulty of culturing and propagating Treponema pallidum. Here we highlight avenues of research recently opened by the coupling of hybridization capture and next-generation sequencing. We present data generated with such an approach suggesting that asymptomatic bones from NHP occasionally contain enough treponemal DNA to recover large fractions of their genomes. We expect that these methods, which naturally can be applied to modern biopsy samples and ancient human bones, will soon considerably improve our understanding of these enigmatic pathogens and lay rest to old yet unresolved controversies.

Published by Elsevier Ltd. About thirty years after the previous advanced textbook on Microwave Remote Sensing by Ulaby, Moore and Fung has been published as three separate volumes, now an up-to-date new textbook has been published.

RESULTS As a group, significantly more students answered that they would like or expect to be a veterinarian when they are an adult after exposure to the book and cards. By gender, more boys, but not girls, answered that they would like or expect to be a veterinarian after exposure to the book and cards.

Additionally, more White students and more rural students answered that they expected to be a veterinarian after exposure to the book and cards. Roughly librarians, publishers , and vendors braved a winter squall to share their expertise and experiences. E- Book Use and Perceptions: A Review of Published Literature and Research. E- books have yet to assume a significant place in academic library collections.

This article focuses on extracting common themes from the literature that might help the reader better understand why e- books have not yet become the cornerstone of the academic library. Patrons do not use e- books because they find the experience of using e-books…. The most elemental identifier of a book is the international standard book number ISBN. It allows publishers , booksellers, and libraries to label works in a consistent way and to distinguish not only among different titles but also among different versions of the same title, such as newer editions, various bindings, audio products, and….

Compiling a good book on urban remote sensing is probably as hard as the research in this disciplinary field itself.

Urban areas comprise various environments and show high heterogeneity in many respects, they are highly dynamic in time and space and at the same time of greatest influence on connected and even tele-connected regions due to their great economic importance. Urban remote sensing is therefore of great importance, yet as manifold as its study area: Urban analyses are performed with all available spaceborne sensor types and at the same time they are one of the most relevant fields for airborne remote sensing.

Several books on urban remote sensing have been published during the past 10 years, each taking a different perspective. Researching, Writing, and Publishing Local History. The book provides practical guidelines for the layman who is interested in researching, writing, and publishing local history. Two standards considered to be essential to the writing of local history are ethics and competence. The three aspects of competence which are discussed focus on researching, writing, and publishing.

They discussed the growth of e- books and complained about Amazon's Some doctors of medicine who published optometry books and played significant roles in early twentieth century optometric education. Those studied were Thomas G. Atkinson , Marshall B. Ketchum , Joseph I. Pascal , and Clarence W. The content of the books they wrote is also discussed.

Highlights include economic constraints; state-sponsored publishing ; African authors; publishing in Nigeria and South Africa; publishing for children; religious publishing houses; multinational firms; cooperative efforts that offer….

The best philosophers have been fascinated with geometry ever since the inception of both traditions in 5th century Greece. They have perceived the apparent certainty of geometrical propositions as an intimation that an equally secure knowledge can be had on a subject of the greatest practical concern, viz.

They also have sought to find-as is their wont-reasons for that certainty. This search has given rise to the theoretical and historical issues magisterially reviewed in this book by Lorenzo Magnani. Despite their diversity, all three can be said to share a trait that is rarely emphasized and which Magnani brings out in full force in his study of Kant. Chapter 2 is called "Geometry: An enterprising scholar might even try to make a similar point with regard to Husserl, whose views on the establishment of objectivity and science appear to fit geometry better than any other branch of knowledge.

This book provides current coverage of the present state of libraries and publishing in the United States and abroad. It has almost 1, entries and is divided into two sections.

Most of us sometimes have to face a student asking: In my case 'this' would typically be a topic in general relativity.

After thinking about it for quite a while, and consulting candidate texts again and again, a few days later I usually end up saying: In the unlikely event that the student comes back without changing the topic, there follows quite a bit of explaining on a blackboard over the following weeks. From now on I will say: As far as Isham's book is concerned, 'this' in the student's question above can stand for any topic in theoretical physics which touches upon differential geometry and I can only think of very few which do not. A student who has mastered the notions presented in the book will have a solid basis to continue into specialized topics.

I am not aware of any other book which would be as useful as this one in terms of the spectrum of topics covered, stopping at the right place to get sufficient introductory insight. According to the publisher , these lecture notes are the content of an introductory course on differential geometry which is taken by first-year theoretical physics PhD students, or by students attending the one-year MSc course 'Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces' at Imperial College, London. The volume is divided into six chapters: It is a sad reflection on current.

This reprint, hitherto unnoticed, is of interest for the reception of Copernicus' work. This article reproduces the text and presents some research on Brucaeus, who was Tycho Brahe's teacher in Rostock. His biography and his scientific achievements are outlined. The PRM organizations in Europe: The European Academy of Rehabilitation Medicine mainly dedicated to defining the ethical issues in rehabilitation and finding strategies for better educational approaches in rehabilitation. To support the knowledge, we have in Europe 7 main journals dedicated to Rehabilitation with a growing impact factor.

In conclusion, PRM activity in Europe is not limited to the official border but in the network included eastern countries and Mediterranean area. The clinical field of competence: According to the complexity of disabling health conditions, PRM also refers to prevention and maintenance and provides information to the patients and other caregivers. The rehabilitation process according to the so-called rehabilitation cycle including an assessment and definition of the individual rehabilitation goals, assignment to the rehabilitation program evaluation of individual outcomes.

PRM physicians treat a wide spectrum of diseases and take a transversal across most of the medical specialties. They also focus on many functional problems such as immobilization, spasticity, pain syndromes, communication disorders, and others. The latter is based on the ICF conceptual framework, and obtained through functional evaluations and scales: They include a wide range of treatments, including medicines, physical therapies, exercises, education and many others.

Standardized PRM programs are available for many diseases and functional problems. In most cases rehabilitation is performed in multi-professional teams working in a collaborative way, as well as with other disciplines under the leadership of a PRM physician and it is a patient-centered approach. Outcomes of PRM interventions and programs, showed reduction of impairments in body functions, activity limitations.

Knowledge and skills of PRM physicians. In the context of the White Book of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine PRM in Europe, this paper deals with the fundamentals of PRM from a physiological perspective, looking at the human mechanisms both physical and behavioral which are at the base of PRM physicians' work. After a discussion on the development and evolution of PRM that leads to its unique and specific approach, the mechanisms considered include: PRM physicians are managers of people and resources; they manage patients and their caregivers, to teach and allow them to reach the best possible participation, also focusing on maintenance; they lead the team, with the aim to make it.

A grounded theory methodology was used to analyze articles and book chapters describing the development and practice of school-based counseling in 25 different countries in order to identify the factors that affect development and practice. An factor analytic framework was developed. Cultural Factors, National Needs, Larger…. Systematists argue that the importance of our work lies not only in the elucidation of evolutionary relationships, but also in the incorporation of evolutionary information into classifications and the use of these classifications by government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, professional scientists, and others interested in biodiversity.

If this is true, and I think that it is, then synthetic publications that make our findings accessible to a wide audience, such as Christidis and Boles' new Systematics and Taxonomy of Australian Birds, may be among the most significant works that we publish.

The book reports the effects that the lack of a copyright agreement had on overall Anglo-American relations and on British and American writers and publishers. Children are naturally drawn to award-winning books. Those who work with children know that the appeal of these books often comes from the shiny gold, silver, or bronze seals affixed to the covers of these special books.

Teachers and librarians, however, need to be aware of the fact that the Newbery and Caldecott, and lesser known awards, are…. Getting Your Textbook Published. Points to remember in getting a textbook published are examined: For many years a good introductory book for undergraduate and postgraduate students on remote sensing of the Earth's land surface, which was not starting with an emphasis on traditional photographic techniques, was missing. This second edition is made more attractive by the use of colour and including colour illustrations instead of the black-and-white ones in the first edition.

Book Development in Bangladesh.

Networks have been recently recognized as playing a central role in understanding a wide range of systems spanning diverse scientific domains such as physics and biology, economics, computer science and information technology. Specific examples run from the structure of the Internet and the World Wide Web to the interconnections of finance agents and ecological food webs. These networked systems are generally made by many components whose microscopic interactions give rise to global structures characterized by emergent collective behaviour and complex topological properties.

In this context the statistical physics approach finds a natural application since it attempts to explain the various large-scale statistical properties of networks in terms of local interactions governing the dynamical evolution of the constituent elements of the system. It is not by chance then that many of the seminal papers in the field have been published in the physics literature, and have nevertheless made a considerable impact on other disciplines.

Indeed, a truly interdisciplinary approach is required in order to understand each specific system of interest, leading to a very interesting cross-fertilization between different scientific areas defining the emergence of a new research field sometimes called network science. The book of Dorogovtsev and Mendes is the first comprehensive monograph on this new scientific field.

It provides a thorough presentation of the forefront research activities in the area of complex networks, with an extensive sampling of the disciplines involved and the kinds of problems that form the subject of inquiry. The book starts with a short introduction to graphs and network theory that introduces the tools and mathematical background needed for the rest of the book. The following part is devoted to an extensive presentation of the empirical analysis of real-world networks.

They also created an organization that would carry their mission forward. From the first newsprint edition of Our Bodies, Ourselves, which became an underground sensation, to the brand new book , Our Bodies, Ourselves: Pregnancy and Birth, released in March , the group has educated women and men, critiqued the medical system, examined inequalities based on gender, race, sexual orientation, class, and other categories, and urged readers to move from individual self-help to collective action promoting social policies that support the health of women and communities.

This fundamental and in many respects encyclopedic page monograph was published as part of the "Mario Boella Series on Electromagnetism in Information and Communication" edited by P. The main purpose of the book is systematic exposition of several important aspects of the electromagnetic scattering theory along with the presentation of the requisite mathematical apparatus and illustrative numerical results.

What distinguishes this volume from the vast majority of related books is the extensive treatment of the time-domain scattering theory. Children's Books about Religion. Created to promote a mutual understanding and acceptance among various faiths and cultures throughout the world, this book is an annotated bibliography of religious children's books.

It has almost critical evaluations of books with distinct religious themes for children from preschool to middle school. Here are two textbooks, both published by Springer and each roughly half devoted to cosmology—the large scale structure and evolution of the Universe. I can imagine a context not the same context in which each would be useful.

And there the similarities largely end. The book is meant for use at the graduate level, probably the second year by US standards the authors are from Stockholm. Schneider hereafter PS , on the other hand, begins with galaxies, and then alternates between cosmological topics of gradually increasing sophistication expanding universe to CMB fluctuations and additional galactic topics—clusters, quasars and all.

Each is meant for a single semester class at the target level, and might be squeezed into a week term with elimination of some topics. PS is a hard cover translation from a German original, with colour used freely in astronomical images and graphs throughout, with fewer and less complex equations. What can you expect to get if you buy one or both of these? Photocopy of old photo, taken from a book , Photocopy of old photo, taken from a book , Founders' Week Memorial Volume. Exact date of publication not known, but it was published before the First World War I.

This book includes a chapter on the history of the Preston Retreat and historical photographs of the institution. The book is essentially an overview of IMRT techniques, discussing the history, the mathematical processes involved in the planning stages, the biological indices for evaluations, the off-line and on-line medical imaging that is required, the various IMRT delivery techniques available, positioning and motion verification, shielding and QA issues, and some clinical applications.

There is some additional discussion on modulated electron and proton therapy, views on the clinical and financial impact of IMRT, as well as some speculation on the future uses of IMRT. As is typical of many proceedings-type books , there is a certain level of inconsistency of writing styles, as well as some redundancy between the different chapters. It is unfortunate that such a large volume does not have an index to allow a reader to explore a particular subject pertaining to IMRT. It is interesting to note that the book lends itself to a variety of professionals interested in IMRT, including administrators.

It may be a source of help for medical physicists who wish to discuss IMRT issues with higher level administration, for example. Some clinical applications are also reviewed. The lack of details concerning the advantages of IMRT with respect to clinical outcome is. This report presents statistics that characterize transportation activities and data on other factors that affect transportation energy use.

The 12 chapters of the 19th edition of the Data Book focus on various aspects of the transportation industry Carl will, with the help of his world class editorial board, maintain standards of scientific rigour whilst ensuring that research published is of the highest importance. Carl attained his first degree in physics at Cornell University before studying for his PhD at Harvard. His main expertise is in using classical applied mathematics to solve a broad range of problems in high-energy theoretical physics and mathematical physics. Since the publication of his book Advanced Mathematical Methods for Scientists and Engineers, written with Steven Orszag, he has been regarded as an expert on the subject of asymptotic analysis and perturbative methods.

Our grateful thanks and best wishes go to Professor Corrigan who has done a magnificent job for the journal during his five-year tenure.

He died soon after the book was finished. This book would seem a splendid tribute to his memory. The first five chapters are an excellent introduction to quantum mechanics from the viewpoint of a particle physicist.

A solid state physicist might include some other topics. The next three chapters give some feeling for the excitement of particle physics and describe some of the zoo of curious creatures discovered in the depths of particle accelerators, and the forces between them: The final chapter , 'Quantum Fields', is a tour de force. The author has a light touch and a pleasant sense of humour. He does not attempt to explain everything he mentions, but he makes it very clear when he does not. These points are beautifully illustrated by the following extract from the final chapter p In fact, virtual particles are always in play.

Even a single real particle, moving along in isolation, can emit and reabsorb virtual particles over and over again. This has the effect of shifting the physical mass of the particle away from the 'bare' value that entered into the Hamiltonian. That shift inevitably turns out to be slightly infinite, and there is a whole technology for isolating and redefining away this and a few other infinities that are characteristic of renormalisable quantum field theories. But we forebear to pursue these delicacies any further here.

In the version of this Books and Arts originally published , the book title Spectroscopy for Amateur Astronomy was incorrect; it should have read Spectroscopy for Amateur Astronomers. This has now been corrected. Education and continuous professional development: To acquire the wide field of competence needed, specialists in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine have to undergo a well organised and appropriately structured training of adequate duration. In fact they are required to develop not only medical knowledge, but also competence in patient care, specific procedural skills, and attitudes towards interpersonal relationship and communication, profound understanding of the main principles of medical ethics and public health, ability to apply policies of care and prevention for disabled people, capacity to master strategies for reintegration of disabled people into society, apply principles of quality assurance and promote a practice-based continuous professional development.

This paper provides updated detailed information about the education and training of specialists, delivers recommendations concerning the standards required at a European level, in agreement with the UEMS rules of creating a Common Training Framework, that consists of a common set of knowledge, skills and competencies for postgraduate training. The role of the European PRM Board is highlighted as a body aimed at ensuring the highest standards of medical training and health care across Europe and the harmonization of PRM physicians' qualifications. To this scope, the theoretical knowledge necessary for the practice of PRM specialty and the core competencies training outcomes to be achieved at the end of training have been established and the postgraduate PRM core curriculum has been added.

Undergraduate training of medical students is also focused, being considered a mandatory element for the growth of both PRM specialty and the medical community as a whole, mainly in front of the future challenges of the ageing population and the increase of disability in our continent. Finally, the problems of continuing. Staley's book discusses these individuals, but it actually has a broader scope. Both the title and the subtitle are not quite appropriate.

The emphasis on Albert Michelson is evident in the Index: The book exhibits a composite character because it includes and expands upon four articles that Staley had published earlier on Michelson, relativity, and the co-creation of modern and classical physics. Hence the book is partly a bridging work; it ambitiously connects areas in the history of physics, from the s until Staley identifies how diverse interests produced crossfertilization, and how various disciplinary boundaries were crossed.

He wants to discuss material culture, experiment, and theory, all on the same footing. Every page of the introduction seems to quadruple the scope; he writes about individuals and communities, consolidation and diversification, power and weakness, memory and neglect, the cultural and the material, the classical and the modern, and the absolute and the relative.

The PRM specialty in the healthcare system and society. Several documents and reports by WHO and the UN call for the worldwide strengthening of rehabilitation as a key health strategy of the 21st century. Therefore, further implementation of PRM in healthcare systems is crucial. Many aspects need to be considered when implementing PRM in a health system.

Since PRM should be provided along the whole continuum of care, a specific phase model has been developed. Those phases depend on patients' functional needs as well as on temporal aspects of a health condition: The following phases are described in the paper: Regular triage and reassessment to assign the patient to the appropriate level and setting of rehabilitation care is mandatory. Therefore, rehabilitation services should be stratified and organized in networks, in order to allow for the best possible care adapted to the individual's needs and goals, over the continuum of care.

Providing correct PRM services requires good planning of service delivery, capacity building and resource allocation. The needed resources are human with complex multi-professional teams , technical diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, equipment for performing complementary diagnostic means, rehabilitation technology and assistive devices , and financial. Decisions on the allocation of the usually limited resources require a reasoned process and clear and fair criteria. Principles of clinical governance must be respected, and appropriate competencies are required.

Disease prevention primary, secondary and tertiary , health maintenance and support in chronic conditions as well as global health promotion. This is a bit misleading: But the book does aim for the kind of breadth and generality that one would expect from an introduction to the subject, and it serves well as a compact overview of the issues, views, arguments, and counter-arguments that have shaped the contemporary philosophical debate on laws of nature.

Almost no important facet of the debate goes untouched. There are chapters or sections on: This is an impressive range of topics, especially considering that they are all treated in only pages. One result is that not all of them are treated with as. Gateway to the unknown presents us with a broad ranging account not only of the kinds of models used in scientific inquiry but the different ways in which they are put to work in different contexts of investigation, specifically physics and psychology.

It does this in 16 chapters divided over six sections that deal with practical issues regarding knowledge acquisition and with modeling as it relates to traditional debates in philosophy of science such as realism, the nature of explanation and the role of experiment. The work brings together many ideas published in essays that appeared in other places.

As a collection it covers a lot of ground and in doing so presents not just an account of modeling but a broader philosophy of science in the bargain, one that addresses many of the questions that plague not only the role of models but also the status of entities, theories, causes and inductive inference. Progress in the fields of integrated optics and fiber optics is continuing at a rapid pace.

Recognizing this trend, the goal of the author is to provide an introductory textbook on time-harmonic electromagnetic theory, with an emphasis on optical rather than microwave technologies. The book is appropriate for an upper-level undergraduate or graduate course. Each chapter includes examples of problems. The book focuses on several areas of prime importance to intergrated optics. These include dielectric waveguide analysis, couple-mode thoery, Bragg scattering, and prism coupling There is very little coverage of active components such as electro-optic modulators and switches.

The author assumes the reader has a working knowledge of vector calculus and is familiar with Maxwell's equations. Although ostensibly a festschrift for Gabriele Veneziano, this book also marks an important step in the historical study of string theory, featuring several excellent chapters on the earliest period of string theory, as it emerged from the study of strong interaction physics and dual resonance models.

Veneziano is often crowned 'the father of string theory' since it was he who discovered the amplitude that led to the dual resonance models that then led to string theory in something like the form we know it today though not immediately into a quantum theory of gravity. However, as the historical articles in this book make plain, Veneziano was but a small albeit vital component in the creation of string theory. This pamphlet briefly answers some of the questions concerning the writing and publishing of children's books. What the writer needs to know, special techniques, how to submit a manuscript, what happens to a manuscript at a publishing house, and a listing of our books that may be useful for writers of children's books are discussed.

Books produced since , held in the Library of Congress, have a very high acid content, hence a shorter life expectancy than prior- published volumes. A means of "deacidifying" books on a large, economically-viable scale is of great interest, particularly to the research library community, which stores millions of valuable, often irreplaceable documents.

The General Electric vacuum chamber used in deacidification tests serves a dual purpose. It creates an environment in which DEZ can do its job without presence of oxygen and also dries the books. After the drying phase, DEZ is introduced to the chamber as a paper-penetrating vapor. The complete process typically takes eight days, four days for vacuum drying and four days of book exposure to DEZ. Accelerated aging tests showed that the process can extend paper life almost fourfold, even on color illustrations.

Are university presses ready for their close-up?

In a nod to Hollywood, a growing number of trade publishers are producing book trailers to promote new titles. But do video teasers have a role in university-press publishing? What about longer formats? Based on an entirely unscientific poll of publicists at 25 university presses, the answer appears…. The Library Association of the City University of New York presents an annotated bibliography on the subject of small and alternative publishing.

In the first section directories, indexes, catalogs, and reviews are briefly described.

Book distributors for small publishers are listed next. The major portion of the bibliography is a listing of books…. Publishing and Journalism Careers. If you like to work with words and notational symbols--or with describing, selecting, managing, and distributing the words and music of other people--then journalism or publishing as a whole may be your bailiwick.
