The Delaware Finns
This extremely useful work furnishes thumbnail sketches of the more than 500 veterans of the War of 1812 from whom a member of the Maryland State Society War of 1812 could claim direct or collateral descent. Each entry consists of the veteran's dates and places of birth, marriage, and death; the name of his spouse; and the nature of his service during the War of 1812. This information is followed by the name of the Society member(s) claiming descent from that veteran, along with that individual's membership numbers in the Maryland State Society and National Society War of 1812.
From Saudi Arabia With Love
Noor Alzahrani is my name. I was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. As I speak, I stand convicted of murdering my brute of a husband, Ibrahim Al-Shehri. I'm at Deera Square in Riyadh, about to be executed. How did I get here ? It has to do with my life-changing romance with Omar Augustin, a handsome Haitian student I met at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. We fell in love, and from that moment on, my life would never be the same. I wanted to be Omar's wife and bear him children, never mind the fact that he's Black and not a Muslim, and I'm a Saudi Arabian Muslim woman from a reputable family. I chose duty over love, breaking Omar's heart, and returned to Saudi Arabia to marry a man I did not love. In these, my final hours, I reflect on all the wonders and horrors that I've experienced in my brief life.
Developmental Neurobiology
This consistent and well-illustrated text is an up-to-date survey of cellular and molecular events contributing to the assembly of the vertebrate nervous system. Chapters include a mixture of historical content and descriptions from literature that best illustrate specific aspects of development.
Neuronal Recognition
An outstanding characteristic of the nervous system is that neurons make selective functional contacts. Each neuron behaves as if it recog nizes the neurons with which it associates and rejects associations with others. The specific interneuronal relationships that result define the innate neuronal circuits that determine the functioning of this system. The purpose of this volume is to present some approaches to the problem of neuronal recognition. The volume has been somewhat arbitrarily divided into three sections. In the first section, the overrid ing theme is the degree of specificity of neuronal recognition. How specific is specific? Is the specificity so precise that the neurites of on...
Noetics
Noetics is Lawrence Krader's magnum opus, which he began while still an undergraduate philosophy major at the City College of New York in the 1930s. By examining the architectonics of some of the greatest thinkers in history - Aristotle, Plato, Descartes, Leibniz, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, and Husserl among others - as works of art combining myth, speculation and empirical science, Krader tackles one of the central problems of the philosophy of science: what is science and how does it relate to human thinking and knowing more generally. Building on his theories concerning the different orders of nature adumbrated in his Labor and Value (2003), he follows not only the lines of development of the ...
Haystack Full of Needles
How do we store information in the brain? Is memory a thing in a place, like a specific molecule in a particular cell? Or does learning require a process in a population, like neurons firing in a specific pattern for each experience? This combination of memoir and history tells the story of how the mechanisms of memory were gradually revealed, through biographical vignettes of the scientists who set out to solve the riddle of memory, including the author’s own efforts as he was coming of age as a scientist. It shows how individual goals intertwine with the technologies at hand to push scientific knowledge forward, often erratically, and always in the context of social forces and private ups and downs. Not only a compelling personal story with the war in Vietnam, civil rights movement, and downfall of two presidents as backdrop, this is a lucid explanation of brain function for the nonscientist and valuable contribution to the history of science in the decades that saw neuroscience join molecular biology as the marquee biomedical accomplishments of the twentieth century
Pirates & Patriots, Tales of the Delaware Coast
Libraries, archives, and museums reveal clues to the colorful characters lining the history of Delaware, from its earliest colonial days to the invention of the "beach resort" and the founding of the nation's "Summer Capital" to World War II and the present. Author Michael Morgan brings together this kaleidoscopic view of the men of the sea and the beachfront tycoons who shaped Delaware and its role in the development of America, in war, politics, and business, from the Europeans' arrival at Cape Henlopen until modern times. While the intrepid patriot Henry Fisher and the infamous serial killer Patty Cannon are not known beyond the boundaries of southern Delaware, others such as William Penn...
