Metabolism and Growth
The Physiology of Crustacea, Volume I: Metabolism and Growth deals with the physiological aspects of metabolism and growth in hundreds of species and higher taxa of Crustacea. The book explores processes related to the morphology and development of crustaceans, from blood chemistry to feeding and nutrition, digestion, excretion, molting, autotomy, and regeneration. This volume is organized into 17 chapters and begins with an overview of crustacean biology and systematics as well as ontogeny and phylogeny. The book then discusses the metabolic requirements of crustacean respiration, the mechanisms of gas exchange, and respiratory transport. The next chapters focus on the biochemistry of anima...
Types of canoes on Puget Sound
The purpose of this work was to describe the types of canoes found at that time on the area of Puget Sound and then summarize, as much as possible, the distribution of these types into other regions based on meager information. The location of Puget sound lies in a general way toward the center of this region, and in this surrounding, the widest variety of canoes seem to be in use. The samples on which this work is based were gathered for the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, near Seattle Content includes: Introduction Specialization of the North Pacific Canoe into Different Models Points of Interest in the Various Types The War Canoe The "Freight Canoe" The "Trolling Canoe" The "Shovel-nose Canoe" The "One-man Canoe" The "Children's Canoe" Native Terms for the Parts of the Canoe Distribution of the Various Types Conclusions
Sense Organs Integration, and Behavior
The Physiology of Crustacea, Volume II: Sense Organs, Integration, and Behavior focuses on the three components of self-regulation for crustaceans and examines the behavior that emerges therefrom. This book provides the physiology of the class Crustacea from a comparative point of view. Organized into chapters, this volume starts with an overview of the sensitivity to electromagnetic energy at wavelengths extending from the ultraviolet to the infrared, which is an important adaptive function in crustaceans. This text then explores the innervation of crustacean sensory hairs and describes the sensitivity among crustaceans to external changes in mechanical force by direct contact with solids or by fluid movement. Other chapters consider the two types of pigmentary effectors in crustaceans, namely, the chromatophores and the pigments of the compound eye. The final chapter deals with the four major categories in developing a comparative physiology. Physiologists, biochemists, and researchers will find this book useful.

Franz Boas
Franz Boas defined the concept of cultural relativism and reoriented the humanities and social sciences away from race science toward an antiracist and anticolonialist understanding of human biology and culture. Franz Boas: Shaping Anthropology and Fostering Social Justice is the second volume in Rosemary Lévy Zumwalt's two-part biography of the renowned anthropologist and public intellectual. Zumwalt takes the reader through the most vital period in the development of Americanist anthropology and Boas's rise to dominance in the subfields of cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, ethnography, and linguistics. Boas's emergence as a prominent public intellectual, particularly his oppos...
