Berkeley Optometry
Berkeley Optometry-A History offers a lively and revealing exploration into the origins and evolution of the School of Optometry at the University of California, Berkeley. The early years of struggle for the profession of optometry and the school are discussed in fascinating detail, including a remarkable sixteen-year campaign to establish a curriculum in optometry at Berkeley. Legislative battles and conflicts with ophthalmology are also presented. Later years include profiles of Berkeley Optometry's faculty and alumni who have enviable records of accomplishment in clinical training and professional service, and equally impressive achievements in research. Much of the history is told in the words of those who lived it, through correspondence and published materials, from the late nineteenth century to the modern period, as well as quotations from recorded interviews in recent years.
The Retina in Health and Disease
Vision is the most important sense in higher mammals. The retina is the first step in visual processing and the window to the brain. It is not surprising that problems arising in the retina lead to moderate to severe visual impairments. We offer here a collection of reviews as well as original papers dealing with various aspects of retinal function as well as dysfunction. New approaches in retinal research are described, such as the expression and localization of the endocannabinoid system in the normal retina and the role of cannabinoid receptors that could offer new avenues of research in the development of potential treatments for retinal diseases. Moreover, new insights are offered in advancing knowledge towards the prevention and cure of visual pathologies, mainly AMD, RP, and diabetic retinopathy.

Jean Renoir
Now back in print, the definitive biography of a seminal figure in film history, whom Orson Welles called “the greatest of all directors.” Jean Renoir’s career almost spans the history years of cinema–from the early silent movies, to the naturalism of the talkies, committed cinema, film noir, Hollywood studio productions, the Technicolor-period comedies and fast television techniques. His film The Grand Illusion remains one of the greatest movies about the effects of war. Decades after its release, Renoir’s The Rules of the Game (1939) is the only film to have been included on every top ten list in the Sight & Sound's respected decennial poll since 1952, cementing Renoir’s influence. André Bazin and François Truffaut praised Renoir as the patron saint of the French New Wave. Jean Renoir: Projections of Paradise gives detailed accounts of Renoir’s working methods and captivating appraisals of his films, and his long and fascinating life from his blissful childhood as the son of the great Impressionist painter August Renoir. This is a must-read for students of film and all fans of entertaining, timeless movies.
