Three Surnames and a Jr
The eldest son of Scottish immigrants, Logan Napier Muir Jr. spent his youth doing menial chores with his brothers in and around his parents' tar-paper covered shack near Chicago. In 1928 he was valedictorian of his eighth grade class; he never attended another graduation, although his formal education high school and later university did continue. A respected and skilled engineer, he was known for keen powers of observation and a quick wit that lightened many a difficult situation. He also chose to start his own business when faced with a job mired in impracticality. Three Surnames and a Jr. is Logan's life story, as told by his wife, Ruth. Logan began writing his life's story late in life and completed only two pages. Ruth gathered together newspaper clippings, pertinent letters, and other memorabilia of her husband's life, piecing them together with her own narratives describing their time together and continuing his story. Both serious and humorous episodes flesh out the life story of this professional man who never forgot his humble beginnings.
Food Acquisition and Processing in Primates
This book results from a two-day symposium and three-day workshop held in Cambridge between March 22nd and March 26th 1982 and sponsored by the Primate Society of Great Britain and the Anatomical Society of Great Britain and Ireland. More than 100 primatologists attended the symposium and some 35 were invited to participate in the workshop. Speakers from Prance, Germany, the Netherlands, South Africa and the U. S. A. , as weIl as the U. K. , were invited to contribute. In recent years feeling had strengthened that primatologists in Europe did not gather together sufficiently often. Distinctive tradit ions in primatology have developed in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy and the U. K. ...
Plant Roots
The third edition of a standard resource, this book offers a state-of-the-art, multi-disciplinary presentation of plant roots. It examines structure and development, assemblage of root systems, metabolism and growth, stressful environments, and interactions at the rhizosphere. Reflecting the explosion of advances and emerging technologies in the field, the book presents developments in the study of root origin, composition, formation, and behavior for the production of novel pharmaceutical and medicinal compounds, agrochemicals, dyes, flavors, and pesticides. It details breakthroughs in genetics, molecular biology, growth substance physiology, biotechnology, and biomechanics.

Colobine Monkeys
Colobine monkeys have a unique digestive system, analagous to that of ruminants, which allows them to exploit foliage as a food source. This gives them a niche in Old World forests where they are often the only abundant medium-sized arboreal folivorous mammal. From a possible Miocene origin, Colobine monkeys have radiated into a wide variety of forms inhabiting a range of tropical woodlands in Africa and Asia. Most of the extant species have been subject to long term field studies, but until this book, no synthesis of work on this group has been available. The central theme of is that of adaptive radiation, showing how the special features of colobine anatomy interacted with a range of ecosystems to produce the distinctive species of today. The book discusses parallels with other mammalian groups, and will be of relevance to workers in evolutionary ecology, primatology and tropical ecology.
