This volume critically reviews cognitive models of psychological time in order to clarify and enrich what is known about the temporal aspects of cognitive processes. Concentrating on how adult humans experience, remember, and construct time, chapters survey recent work on such topics as mental representations of time, timing in movement sequences, time and timing in music, and the processing of temporal information. Also included are chapters with a broader perspective, such as the impacts of methodological choices, chronobiology and temporal experience, a comparative approach to time and order, and normal and abnormal temporal perspectives. The book makes current research and theories on the psychology of time more accessible to researchers in cognitive psychology.

Paper Chromatography: A Laboratory Manual focuses on methods, technologies, and processes, and aims to provide readers with a readily accessible source for the uses and adaptations of paper chromatography. The book first offers information on general methods, including descending, ascending, and ascending-descending chromatography, filter paper ""chromatopile"", ""reversed phase"" paper chromatography, and paper electrophoresis. The text then elaborates on quantitative methods and amino acids, amines, and proteins. Discussions focus on visual comparison, elution, area of spot, total color of spot, maximum color density, identification of amines, separation of proteins, and general directions. The publication examines carbohydrates and aliphatic acids and steroids. Topics include simple sugars, miscellaneous derived sugars, and aliphatic acids. The text also ponders on purines, pyrimidines, and related substances and phenols, aromatic acids, and porphyrins. The text is a valuable reference for readers interested in paper chromatography.
Named one of the "Ten must-read science histories" by Science Magazine In a lifetime of practice, most physicians will never encounter a single case of PKU. Yet every physician in the industrialized world learns about the disease in medical school and, since the early 1960s, the newborn heel stick test for PKU has been mandatory in many countries. Diane B. Paul and Jeffrey P. Brosco’s beautifully written book explains this paradox. PKU (phenylketonuria) is a genetic disorder that causes severe cognitive impairment if it is not detected and treated with a strict and difficult diet. Programs to detect PKU and start treatment early are deservedly considered a public health success story. Some...
