Basic and Clinical Perspectives in Vision Research
A volume honoring visual scientist Ikeda, whose work relates to many of the significant advances in the field over the past 40 years. The 16 contributions are arranged within three sections: ocular structure, function, and disease; retinal structure, function, and disease; and higher visual centers--structure, function, and disease. Among the topics are a study of pupil response components in human vision; the architecture of functional neural circuits in the cat retina; and the role of the pretectum in the pupillary light reflex.

Basic and Clinical Perspectives in Vision Research
I have been asked to write a brief foreword to this volume honoring Hisako Ikeda, providing a review of the accomplishments in our field over the past four decades, when Hisako was an active participant. This I am delighted to do. It has been a most exciting time in vision research and Hisako has been right in the middle of much of the excitement, publishing on a wide variety of topics and providing much new data and many new insights. Hisako's research career can be divided by decades into four quite distinct areas of inquiry. In the 1950s, as a student in Japan, her research interests were psychophysical in nature, and she was concerned with visual illusions, figural aftereffects, and motion detec tion. In the 1960s, after her move to London, she began electrophysiological studies. Much of her work in the 1960s was concerned with the electroretinogram (ERG), its components, and the use of this electrical response for evaluating spectral sensitivities of the eye and retinal degenerations. This work represented the beginning of her electrodiagnostic clinical work, which continued until her retirement.
Conversations with Erica Jong
In Conversations with Erica Jong one of the most popular and controversial of contemporary writers has her say. She was already an established poet when she published Fear of Flying (1973), but the novel's sensational reception came to overshadow all her work. In interviews from 1973 to 2001, Jong relates the extra-ordinary experience she gained as a pioneer of sexual writing from a female point of view. With equal attention to the art of fiction and poetry, she yields her views on the literary scene and on the place of poetry in American society. Among the highlights of the book is Jong's account of the publication of Fear of Flying and its remarkable, best-seller rise. Cast into the role o...

The Demise of Norse Religion
When describing the transition from Old Norse religion to Christianity in recent studies, the concept of "Christianization" is often applied. To a large extent this historiography focuses on the outcome of the encounter, namely the description of early Medieval Christianity and the new Christian society. The purpose of the present study is to concentrate more exclusively on the Old Norse religion during this period of change and to analyze the processes behind its disappearance on an official level of the society. More specifically this study concentrates on the role of Viking kings and indigenous agency in the winding up of the old religion. An actor-oriented perspective will thus be established, which focuses on the actions, methods and strategies applied by the early Christian Viking kings when dismantling the religious tradition that had previously formed their lives. In addition, the resistance that some pagan chieftains offered against these Christian kings is discussed as well as the question why they defended the old religious tradition.
Neuronal Cell Signalling
This book provides an up-to-date view of the signal transduction pathways in neurones and neuronal cells. It will cover "classical neurotransmission" as well as other signalling pathways such as gaseous signalling and adhesion molecule signalling. Furthermore, global concepts such as signalling crosstalk, spatial and temporal signalling are discussed comprehensively. The study of cellular signalling is pivotal to understanding cell and tissue function. This book will be a learning aid as well as a source of reference, now that the cell signalling field has matured and made great strides.
