Die drei schönsten Anton-Geschichten jetzt in einem Sammelband: "Anton und die Mädchen", "Anton kann zaubern" und "Anton und die Blätter". Einmal macht Anton lauter tolle Sachen, aber die Mädchen gucken einfach nicht. Die spielen nur ihr Spiel. Wie gut, dass Anton bei ihnen mitspielen kann. Ein anderes Mal hat Anton sogar einen Zauberhut, mit dem er Dinge herbei- und wegzaubert. Jedenfalls ist der entflogene Vogel am Ende wieder da. Und als An...

Carbon gasification reactions form the basis of many important industrial processes, such as the combustion of coal and the produc­ tion of synthesis gas, fuel gases and activated carbons. They are also involved in metallurgical processes and in the regeneration of coked catalysts. Thus, understanding the fundamentals of carbon gasification is of vital importance for further technological development. Moreover, the subject is of interdisciplin...

According to the classical concept of Geoffrey Harris the pituitary gland is controlled by the brain by means of blood-borne chemical messengers produced by central neurons. The recent isolation and structural characterization of several such messengers by Roger Guillemin and Andrew Schally and their collaborators brought the final proof for this hypothesis. This also meant that the extensive knowledge collected in the field of neurobiology no...

It is a pleasure to any author to enlarge the circle of his readers. Naturally this is a pleasure to me. At the same time, however, misgivings arise: whether these pages will con­ vey to the circle of new readers the thoughts that excite the author. Science is advancing rapidly in our day. It is already apparent that many things in the book should have been stated differently. I have tried to make additions to the English-language edition in s...

This monograph attempts to establish a connection between the structure and physicomechanicaJ properties of the deposit, the rate of reduction of the metallic ions, and the adsorption and occlusion of surface-active substances and hydrogen, and presents the experimental results of the authors as well as the data of other investigators. The authors do not pretend to have given an exhaustive treatment of all aspects of this basic problem since m...

Since the last symposium on "Neuronal Mechanisms of Hearing" held in Prague in 1980 and published in the volume of the same name (J. Syka and L. Aitkin, Eds. , Plenum Press, 1981), remarkable progress has been achieved in the understanding of the auditory system. A variety of new ideas and new methods have emerged. This progress can be easily documented by comparing the volume based on the 1980 Symposium with the program for the 1987 Symposium...

William Trager has been an avid student of parasites for over 50 years at the Rockefeller University. Around the turn of this century, parasitology enjoyed a certain vogue, inspired by colonial responsibilities of the technically ad­ vanced countries, and by the exciting etiological and therapeutic discoveries of Ross, Manson, Ehrlich, and others. For some decades, the Western hemi­ sphere's interest in animal parasites has been eclipsed by co...

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, visi...

KENNETH A. FOON and ALTON C. MORGAN, JR. Passive immunotherapy using heteroantisera for the treatment of cancer in animals and humans has been studied for over 50 years. Attempts have been made to treat animal tumors with sera from immunized syngeneic, allogeneic, or xenogeneic animals. A number of studies of passive immunotherapy using heterologous antisera in humans have also been performed. These studies have generally been attempted in pat...

There is a high demand for antimicrobials for the treatment of new and emerging microbial diseases. In particular, microbes developing multidrug resistance have created a pressing need to search for anew generation of antimicrobial agents, which are effective, safe and can be used for the cure of multidrug-resistant microbial infections.Nano-antimicrobials offer effective solutions for these challenges, the details of these new technologies ar...

Comprehensive and engagingly written. This book should become an important resource for many audiences: applied mathematicians, search industry professionals, and anyone who wants to learn more about how search engines work."--Jon Kleinberg, Cornell University"I don't think there are any competitive books in print with the same depth and breadth on the topic of search engine ranking. The content is well-organized and well-written."--Michael Be...

Ever since its 1905 premiere, Bernard Shaw's controversial drama Major Barbara has proved puzzling to audiences and critics alike. More than a century later there is still wide critical disagreement about the play's meaning. Sidney Albert's groundbreaking new book provides a daring and novel reading of this work. By tracing the extensive connections between Shaw's play and two canonical ancient Greek texts - Plato's Republic and Euripides's Ba...
