Der Künstler, Bildhauer und Maler Thomas Schönauer kreiert außergewöhnliche Edelstahl-Skulpturen, die er »Cultivator« nennt, als ideale Form zur Verbindung von Raum und Fläche, also 3D und 2D, so dass ein kohärentes Ganzes für den öffentlichen und privaten Raum entsteht. Sie erinnern an landwirtschaftliche Geräte zum Aufbrechen des Bodens oder zur Glättung der Pflugfurche, an die Egge – und das englische Wort für Egge ist der »Cultivator«. Dabei arbeitet er mit hochspezialisierten Unternehmen zusammen, so mit dem Siegener Unternehmen Jünger Bödenpresswerk. In dem vorliegenden Bildband kommen Kolleginnen und Kollegen zu Wort, Mitstreiter, die mit ihm den künstlerischen, aber auch ökonomischen Prozess diskutieren. Gleichzeitig wird der künstlerische Entstehungsprozess in Bild und Text dokumentiert, so dass der Leser sich im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes ein Bild machen kann über die komplexe Arbeit dieses Ausnahmekünstlers.
Computational neuroscience is best defined by its focus on understanding the nervous systems as a computational device rather than by a particular experimental technique. Accordinlgy, while the majority of the papers in this book describe analysis and modeling efforts, other papers describe the results of new biological experiments explicitly placed in the context of computational issues. The distribution of subjects in Computation and Neural Systems reflects the current state of the field. In addition to the scientific results presented here, numerous papers also describe the ongoing technical developments that are critical for the continued growth of computational neuroscience. Computation and Neural Systems includes papers presented at the First Annual Computation and Neural Systems meeting held in San Francisco, CA, July 26--29, 1992.

Carl Sandburg called Chicago the "City of the Big Shoulders," and those shoulders withstood the stock market crash of 1929. Chicagoans rallied to collect funds to celebrate the centennial of the city's incorporation in 1833. A Century of Progress International Exposition, held in 1933 and 1934, brought jobs and businesses to Chicago and cheered people with the prospect of new technology and the promising face of the future. Neighborhood churches and community organizations helped each other, and the Great Migration brought new arrivals from the American South. Together, these factors helped to hasten the end of Prohibition and the fall of notorious gangsters like Al Capone and John Dillinger. Jazz rolled in, with Chicagoans dancing along to the tunes of the big bands. Even if pocketbooks were bare, souls were full of hope.
