Bonnie Montrose
ÿOriginally published in 1899, this collection of poems and songs by Montrose resident William F McHardy was forgotten for more than a century until the author?s great grandson, Bob McHardy, rediscovered it and decided to republish it in his ancestor?s memory, with most of the profits divided between Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation and Tesco?s Charity of the Year. This facsimile edition is a faithful paperback reproduction by Mereo of the original book published in Montrose by George A. Bowman.

The Decision to Patent
This book provides a thorough analysis of the decision to apply for a patent. Unlike many other theoretical approaches, the negative effect a patent may have due to the disclosure requirement linked to every patent application is taken into account. Seen in this light, the effects driving the propensity to patent can be identified as the opposing forces of a protective and a disclosure effect.The theoretical investigation includes an analysis of patenting behavior in a setting with vertically and horizontally differentiated products. Due to imperfect patent protection competitors of the patentee may enter the market for the innovative product despite a patent. An empirical investigation of the theoretical results with data from the 2005 Mannheim Innovation Panel in combination with patent information from the European Patent Office provides strong evidence for the main conclusions.

Motor System Disorders, Part I
Motor System Disorders: Normal Physiology and Function and Neuromuscular Disorders summarizes recent advances and best practice for understanding normal physiology and function of the larger motor system as well as the diagnosis, course, and treatment of neuromuscular disorders. The work will include neuroanatomy, circuits and synapses. It discusses how different parts of the brain contribute to motor control, including both vestibular and cerebellar motor control, as well as the influences of the parietal and frontal lobes. Diagnostic methods include genetic evaluation, electrodiagnosis, pathology, and brain imaging. Neuromuscular disorders of both children and adults will be included. - Identifies normal motor control physiology and function, including neuroanatomy, circuits, and synapses - Discusses vestibular and cerebral motor control and contributions of parietal and frontal lobes - Provides diagnostic methods, including genetic evaluation, electrodiagnosis, brain imaging, and pathology analyses - Summarizes the diagnosis, course, and best practice treatment of neuromuscular disorders - Explores neuromuscular disorders in adults and children
Peripheries
The purpose of this volume is to explore the question of whether the notion of periphery has any real theoretical bite. An important consensus emerging from the volume is that the edges of certain syntactic expressions appear to be the locus of the connection between phrase structure, prosody, and information structure. This volume contains 16 papers by researchers in this area. The book: -contains an extensive introduction setting out the research questions addressed and setting the contributions in an overall theoretical context, -has a distinct comparative slant, -brings together work from a range of theoretical perspectives, while maintaining a unity of purpose, -could serve as the basis for a graduate course on peripheral positions, -contains papers addressing: =the question of the fine-grainedness of syntactic representations, =the relevance of syntactic edges to locality and semantic interpretation, =the nature of the dependencies connecting peripheral elements to the syntactic core.
