Neurofilaments (Publications in the health sciences)

Book Description

Neurofilaments are the major structures found inside neurons, and their processes. They are about 10 nm in diameter as visualized in the electron microscope and are composed of several different protein subunits. This book examines the protein subunits in detail and also reviews current literature relating to these protein subunits, the control of their expression, their polymerization to form 10 nm filaments, their distribution in the nervous system and their possible role in various disease states. Finally, the various proposed functions of these proteins are discussed.

Book Description

Weather radar systems provide data necessary for the understanding of weather systems, improved forecasts (especially critical for severe weather), hydrological applications, flood warnings and also for climate research in which ground verification is needed for global precipitation measurements by satellites. This book offers an accessible overview of advanced methods, applications and modern research from the European perspective. An extensive introductory chapter summarizes the principles of weather radars and discusses the potential of modern radar systems, including Doppler and polarisation techniques, data processing, and error-correction methods. Addressing both specialist researchers and nonspecialists from related areas, this book will also be useful for graduate students planning to specialize in this field.

Book Description

Practical quantum computing still seems more than a decade away, and researchers have not even identified what the best physical implementation of a quantum bit will be. There is a real need in the scientific literature for a dialogue on the topic of lessons learned and looming roadblocks. This reprint from Quantum Information Processing is dedicated to the experimental aspects of quantum computing and includes articles that 1) highlight the lessons learned over the last 10 years, and 2) outline the challenges over the next 10 years. The special issue includes a series of invited articles that discuss the most promising physical implementations of quantum computing. The invited articles were to draw grand conclusions about the past and speculate about the future, not just report results from the present.

This Elibron Classics edition is a facsimile reprint of a 1853 edition by John P. Jewett & Co., Boston.

Download Description

This is an excellent source of information about slavery in the U.S. just before the Civil War. When proslavery critics of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1851) charged that she did not accurately describe slavery, she published this fact-filled 1853 book demonstrating that her novel was accurate. This is a facsimile of an 1853 edition with the original small text enlarged to make it more easily read. There are no Adobe Reader restrictions on printing or copying. Teachers may freely make copies of up to up to 25 pages from this book for each student taking courses from them without written permission or royalty payment as long as at least one printed copy of the Inkling edition of this work is available for students in the school library.

Amazing Documentation of an Amazing Story.......2006-09-19

Upon publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, HB Stowe was attacked immediately by pro-slavery writers. Her work was dismissed as fiction, an abolitionist's distorted view, and totally representing slavery in the South. Mrs. Stowe responded by collecting and expanding her factual documentation. She started to write a 25-page pamphlet, to be added as an appendix to the next edition of Cabin. But the work consumed her, as she confronted the stories of many escaped slaves, newspaper articles, court testimony, and even the text of state laws. The defense project grew to over 500 pages, and is a major work in its own right.

Frederick Douglas called it a major contribution to the war against slaveholders: "...for the 'Key' not only proves the correctness of every essential part of Uncle Tom's Cabin, but proves more and worse things against themurderous system than are alleged in that great book."

Historians and history teachers must have this book, as a reference and as an experience. Anyone who strives to understand the burning issues that ignited the War between the States needs this book. I recommend it.

If you're teaching or studying black history, the Inkling ebook edition of A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin (ISBN: B000BGQ9E4) is a great bargain. You get an exact facsimile of the classic 1853 edition with the original small type enlarged to fit 8.5x11 inch pages for easier reading and printing.

Best of all, despite Amazon's boilerplate remarks about "most publishers do not allow e-books to be printed" none of the restrictive digital rights management is turned on. You can print and copy all the pages you like.

A lot of people make fun of Uncle Tom's Cabin, make fun of it's mid-nineenth century literary style and neglecting the enormous impact it has had. Here's what George Orwell, the author of two literary classics, Animal Farm and 1984, said about Uncle Tom's Cabin:

"A type of book which we hardly seem to produce in these days, but which flowered with great richness in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, is what Chesterton called the "good bad book": that is, the kind of book that has no literary pretensions but which remains readable when more serious productions have perished....

Perhaps the supreme example of the "good bad" book is Uncle Tom's Cabin. It is an unintentionally ludicrous book, full of preposterous melodramatic incidents; it is also deeply moving and essentially true; it is hard to say which quality outweighs the other. But Uncle Tom's Cabin, after all, is trying to be serious and to deal with the real world.... And by the same token I would back Uncle Tom's Cabin to outlive the complete works of Virginia Woolf or George Moore, though I know of no strictly literary test which would show where the superiority lies."

Review.......2001-07-03

My reason for reading this book was to understand why some Blacks today are called 'Uncle Toms'. Once I began the book, I realized that I would have to stop looking at the book frrom the perspective of a Black woman in the year 2001. That the author was not a slave or a Black is very obvious, and her own misconceptions about Blacks are very disturbing. But she is, after all, writing from her the only point of view she knew. I found the book to be very engrossing, easy to read and also interesting enough to keep me from flipping to the end.

"it was a good book and I could read it over and over again........1999-04-22

"Uncle Tom's Cabin was a very good book. I wouldn't encourage younger people like 4th and 5th graders to read it, but I think everyone needs to read it by the time they graduate from school."

Book Description

An international bestseller that sold more than 300,000 copies when it first appeared in 1852, Uncle Tom's Cabin was dismissed by some as abolitionist propaganda; yet Tolstoy deemed it a great work of literature "flowing from love of God and man."
Today, however, Harriet Beecher Stowe's stirring indictment of slavery is often confused with garish dramatizations that flourished for decades after the Civil War: productions that relied heavily on melodramatic simplifications of character totally alien to the original. Thus "Uncle Tom" has become a pejorative term for a subservient black, whereas Uncle Tom in the book is a man who, under the most inhumane of circumstances, never loses his human dignity.
" Uncle Tom's Cabin" is the most powerful and most enduring work of art ever written about American slavery," said Alfred Kazin.

Uncle Tom was certainly no "Uncle Tom".......2007-08-29

Back a few years ago, I bought the entire series of Library of America books, some 173 books, each with as many as 1,600 small-print pages. Typically, each volume contains several books (say novels) by an author.

The quality of the writing they have selected is marvelous. There are very few "dogs". Below are my ratings of all the stuff I've read so far (a miniscule fraction of the total library), along with, of course, my completely nonsensical (often sports or pop culture) author nicknames.

And they keep sending me new books faster than I can read the existing ones...

Practically all that I've read ranges from good to fantastic, and I stop reading ones I don't like, so almost all of the books cited below are worthy by my standards. No stars means good, * means especially good, ** means great, and I think I also gave one or two books ***. The numbers are the series # of the book out of the 173 published so far.

A book of Henry James' fiction (not in this series) that I read about 3 years ago got me started on this quest, a supplement to my quest of playing the entire history of baseball via APBA.

Great Classic.......2007-06-01

Our book club decided to read some old classics and we were all surprised to find that none of our members had read Uncle Tom's Cabin, except a French woman who had read it in school in French! A little hard to get into with the style of writing and the dialog, it soon became a real page-turner for me as I got caught up in the story and the characters. Stowe paints a very interesting picture of the times, and it provoked one of the best discussions that our book club has had. No wonder this book was a best seller, both in the US and Europe. Highly recommend this book!

A different perspective on a much avoided subject.......2007-05-25

This story is the most personal account of living in the time of slavery that I have ever read, and I thought it was phenomenal. It was poignant and well written, and it really tugged at the heart strings. What I enjoyed most about the story was how it looked at the point of view of so many players during the slave owning era (Northern compassionates, Southern slave owners with and without guilt, slaves, mothers, husbands, families, etc.). Since I am not from the South, I had a little trouble with the southern dialog, but it didn't keep me from understanding the flow of the story.
I am very glad that I read this book considering history classes don't really delve into the emotional and personal history of slavery in the South. School just treats this period of time as a "stain" on our history and doesn't like to confront it for what it was.
When I look back at the time this book was written, it must've blown people's hair back. For those people of the 1800's to see that slaves were not merely "property," but had the capability of having the same family values, religious beliefs, and sense of social insight as themselves must've made them think twice about the way they treated these people. No wonder why this book was one of the catalysts to spark the Civil War.
If you don't look at this story from the point it was written, you'll lose something in the translation. But if you imagine someone reading this before the Civil War and imagine what they are learning about the human soul, the equality of it whether it is white or not, you'll feel enriched.
I recommend that everyone read this story. It is full of so many valuable life lessons (content of character, faith, compassion, loyalty) that you shouldn't pass it up.

great book at LSMS.......2007-04-27

Uncle Tom's Cabin is a great inspiring book that shows true events in U.S. History. It is a book that shows how evil and cruel slavery really was. After Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote the book during slavery, it helped everyone understand what was happening in their world and this book turned more people towards antislavery which fueled the Civil War. Uncle Tom's Cabin shows people to be kind towards others. This is a great book about the slave days and was enjoyable to read.

Explains a Great Deal.......2007-03-26

I read Uncle Tom's Cabin a few years ago, and was genuinely touched. I saw immediately why it became one of the most influential books in the history of our country, and possibly the world. The story of Uncle Tom is sure to leave you changed, whether you are black or white, racist or humanitarian. It really explains how different people viewed the institution of slavery. After reading this book, many die-hard proponents of slavery gave up defending it. And abollitionists were fired up more than ever before. If you read only 5 books this year, let Uncle Tom's Cabin be one of them. You'll never look at slavery, US history, or the plight of black people the same!
