Sensory Integration
The principal goal of the Handbook of Behavioral Neurobiology is a systematic, critical, and timely exposition of those aspects of neuroscience that have direct and immediate bearing on overt behavior. In this first volume, subtitled "Sensory Integration," the subject matter has been subdivided and the authors selected with this particular goal in mind. Although the early chapters (on the phylogeny and ontogeny of sensory systems, and on the common properties of sensory systems) are somewhat too abstract to permit many direct behavioral inferences, the focus on behavior has been maintained there too as closely as is now possible. A behavioral orientation is most obvious in the remaining chap...

Land of Lost Hope
A YOUNG San Francisco physician, Robert Berkley by name, is decoyed to the schooner Manatee and carried out to sea. He is treated with the greatest respect, but is told that he can never return to his native land. A beautiful young girl named Callisa is a member of the party on the schooner, and Berkley falls in love with her, though love is a thing forbidden in the Land of Lost Hope, to which they are going. One day, forgetful of warnings, he kisses her, which, according to the law of the land, means her death.On entering port Berkley is made kodar of the island, second in position to the king alone, and is instructed in his duties-one of which is escorting to a certain place of death all condemned persons. Callisa is the youngest daughter of the king, and, upon learning of her disobedience, he orders her to be driven out on the streets in disgrace to await her execution. On hearing the king's terrible words, Berkley brands upon Callisa's arm his chosen mark, which insures respect to anything that bears it.

The Color of America Has Changed
From the moment that the attack on the "problem of the color line," as W.E.B. DuBois famously characterized the problem of the twentieth century, began to gather momentum nationally during World War II, California demonstrated that the problem was one of color lines. In The Color of America Has Changed, Mark Brilliant examines California's history to illustrate how the civil rights era was a truly nationwide and multiracial phenomenon-one that was shaped and complicated by the presence of not only blacks and whites, but also Mexican Americans, Japanese Americans, and Chinese Americans, among others. Focusing on a wide range of legal and legislative initiatives pursued by a diverse group of r...
