SEMINAL PAPERS BY LEADING POSTWAR GENETICISTS IN THE YEARS SURROUNDING THE DISCOVERY OF DNA STRUCTURE. 13 volumes 9 1/4 inchs tall, original green cloth binding, gilt titles to spine, library labels removed from spines, bookplate of Armed Forces Institute of Pathology on front paste-down of some volumes, library handstamp to top edge of some volumes, handstamp of Library of Congress to front free endpapers (canceled), library pocket and handstamps to rear paste-down, text pages clean and unmarked. Overall good+. PREFACE to Volume 1: As material for their research geneticists use higher and lower plants, higher and lower animals, and recently also viruses and bacteriophages. They study heredity in man. In their experiments they may use biophysical methods, they may investigate the chemical synthesis of organic compounds, they may study the components of living cells. A considerable part of genetic research deals with practical problems related to the breeding of plants and animals. As a consequence of these several aspects of research in genetics, the results of such research are published in a wide variety of journals, and summary reviews are scattered among a considerable number of review periodicals. This series of review articles. Advances in Genetics, has been started in order that critical summaries of outstanding genetic problems, written by competent geneticists, may appear in a single publication. The articles are expected to deal with both theoretical and practical problems, and to cover plant breeding, animal breeding, and human heredity, as well as the related fields of biophysics, biochemistry, physiology, and immunology. The aim is to have the articles written in such form that they will be useful as reference material for geneticists and also as a source of information to nongeneticists. M. Demerec. Cold Spring Harbor, New York. MILISLAV DEMEREC (1895 1966) was a Croatian-American geneticist, and the director of the Department of Genetics, Carnegie Institution of Washington, now Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory from 1941 to 1960, recruiting Barbara McClintock and Alfred Hershey. He became a prominent Drosophila researcher and established the Drosophila Information Service newsletter in 1934 with Calvin Bridges. In the 1940s the direction of Demerec's research changed to the genetics of bacteria and their viruses after a symposium given by Max Delbrück. In 1946 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, and in 1947 became the founding editor of Advances in Genetics, the first journal to review the finding of modern genetics. ERNEST BROWN BABCOCK (1877 1954) was an United States plant geneticist who pioneered the understanding of plant evolution in terms of genetics. He is particularly known for seeking to understand by field investigations and extensive experiments, the entire polyploid apomictic genus Crepis, in which he recognize 196 species. In his career he published more than 100 articles and books explaining plant genetics, including the seminal textbook (with Roy Elwood Clausen) Genetics in relation to agriculture. JAY LAURENCE LUSH (1896 1982) was a pioneering animal geneticist who made important contributions to livestock breeding. He is sometimes known as the father of modern scientific animal breeding. Lush received National Medal of Science in 1968 and the Wolf Prize in 1979. Lush advocated breeding not based on subjective appearance of the animal, but on quantitative statistics and genetic information. Lush authored a classic book 'Animal Breeding Plans' in 1937 which greatly influenced animal breeding around the world. From 1930 to 1966, Lush was the Charles F. Curtiss Distinguished Professor in Agriculture at Iowa State University. He was elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences in 1967. TRACY MORTON SONNEBORN (1905 1981) was an American biologist. His life's study was of the Paramecium. In the late 1950s he conducted an elegant series of experiments in his endeavors to discover what it is that mediates the synchronized movement of the paramecium's cilia. Sonneborn surgically removed a small section of cell wall and replaced it rotated by 180 degrees. The cilia in the replaced section continued to 'wave' in the same direction as they had before surgery, i.e. now in antiphase to the others. What was remarkable is that both daughters of paramecia on which this operation had been performed also showed the same trait of a reverse phase wave in a similar area of their cell wall, as did, to a lesser extent, the granddaughter cells. This clear evidence for non-Mendelian inheritance was largely overlooked by the scientific community. ERNST WOLFGANG CASPARI (1909 - 1988) was a German-American zoologist and geneticist. Caspari was the first researcher to use methods of developmental biology to analyze the action of a gene. By transplanting larval tissue between the wild type and a red-eyed mutant of the moth, Ephestia, he demonstrated that wild-type larvae produce a diffusible "substance" that is lacking in the mutant and is necessary for the development of eye pigmentation. Further characterization of the substance and an approach to isolate it were interrupted by the Nazi government: he escaped to Turkey and later to the United States but did not get a chance to further contribute to the rapid development in the field, which led to the "one-gene-one-enzyme" hypothesis. Caspari's results, published in 1933, represent the first step toward this hypothesis of gene action. ERNST WALTER MAYR (1904 2005) was one of the 20th century's leading evolutionary biologists. He was also a renowned taxonomist, tropical explorer, ornithologist, philosopher of biology, and historian of science. His work contributed to the conceptual revolution that led to the modern evolutionary synthesis of Mendelian genetics, systematics, and Darwinian evolution, and to the development of the biological species concept. ERNEST R. SEARS (1910-1991) was a geneticist with the United States Department of Agriculture at the University of Missouri in Columbia, working on the origin, evolution, and cytogenetics of wheat for 55 years. Over the years Sears became one of the most respected names in wheat cytogenetics in the world. Probably his most important early achievement was to develop, over a 15-year period, a complete series of aneuploids--nullisomics, monosomics, trisomics and tetrasomics--for all 21 chromosomes of wheat. DAVID GUTHRIE CATCHESIDE (1907-1994) was one of the seminal figures in the post-war development of genetics, both in the United Kingdom and Australia. As a teacher and postgraduate supervisor he played a large part in launching the next generation of geneticists in both hemispheres. The implications of this integrationist view for university teaching were set out in a letter that he had published in Nature in 1963. NORMAN HAROLD HOROWITZ (1915 2005) was a geneticist at Caltech who achieved national fame as the scientist who devised experiments to determine whether life might exist on Mars. His experiments were carried out by the Viking Lander of 1976, the first U.S. mission to successfully land an unmanned probe on the surface of Mars. As a scientist, Horowitz is best known for his discovery and demonstration in 1944 that a metabolic pathway is a series of steps, each catalyzed by a single enzyme. His discovery helped to clinch the case for George Beadle and Edward Tatum's "one gene-one enzyme hypothesis" (a term Horowitz coined for their concept). Another important contribution of Horowitz was his 1945 proposal on the "backward evolution" of biosynthetic pathways. This proposal provided a framework for understanding the evolution of biosynthetic pathways and presaged the study of molecular evolution. EDWARD BUTTS LEWIS (1918 2004) was an American geneticist, a corecipient of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. His Nobel Prizewinning studies with Drosophila, (including the discovery of the Drosophila Bithorax complex of homeotic genes, and elucidation of its function), founded the field of evolutionary developmental biology and laid the groundwork for our current understanding of the universal, evolutionarily conserved strategies controlling animal development. He is credited with development of the complementation test. His key publications in the fields of genetics, developmental biology, radiation and cancer are presented in the book Genes, Development and Cancer, which was released in 2004. ALAN ROBERT GEORGE OWEN (19192003) was a university lecturer in genetics (Cambridge, 1950-70) and mathematics (Fellow, Trinity College, 1962-70), but resigned those positions to emigrate to Canada in 1970. He wrote about 40 scientific papers in the fields of mathematics, statistics, genetics, and population theory, that were published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, Heredity, Biometrics, Biometrika, Sanhkya, and Nature. In 1969 the Owens were invited to immigrate to Canada where Dr. Owen was to direct the parapsychology research of the Toronto-based New Horizons Research Foundation, a non-profit organization incorporated "to promote research on the frontiers of science and disseminate information." SALOME GLUECKSOHN-WAELSCH (1907 2007) was a German-born U.S. geneticist and co-founder of the field of developmental genetics studied chemistry and zoology in Königsberg and Berlin before she joined Spemann's laboratory at the University of Freiburg in 1928. In 1932 she received her doctorate for her work on the embryological limb development of aquatic salamanders. She went on to become a lecturer at Columbia University in 1936, bringing embryological acumen to Leslie C. Dunn's genetics laboratory, where she remained for 17 years. She left Columbia University in 1953 to commence a professorship in anatomy at the newly founded Albert Einstein College of Medicine where she held the chair of molecular genetics from 1963 to 1976. As Gluecksohn-Waelsch combined the embryological expertise she had acquired at Spemann´s lab with methods of classical mouse genetics, she is considered the founder of mammalian developmental genetics. ERNST HADORN (1902-1976) was a Swiss geneticist. In 1937, Hadorn applied for a Rockefeller fellowship and spent a year at Rochester University where he met Curt Stern and Drosophila Two years later, he accepted a position as Professor of Zoology at the University of Zurich, where he remained until he retired in 1972. He was a pioneer of developmental genetics who recognized the analytical power of genetic mosaics. In 1972, Hadorn organized an international conference at Boldern, a rural site just South of Zurich. Hadorn had a dream: he wanted to build a bridge and bring together developmental genetics and molecular biology. To this end, he selected and invited an illustrious group of some 15 molecular biologists plus an equal number of "Drosophilists" from all over the world, truly "the best and the brightest". And the names read like a list from the Hall of Fame: François Jacob, Gerald Edelman, Manfred Eigen, Francis Crick, Charles Weissmann, Max Birnstiel, Sol Spiegelman, Sydney Brenner, Boris Ephrussi, Peter Lawrence, Antonio Garcia-Bellido, Klaus Sander, John Gurdon, Conrad Waddington, Jean Brachet, Tuneo Yamada, and many others. MICHAEL JAMES DENHAM WHITE (1910 1983) was a zoologist and cytologist. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1961, and won the Linnaean Medal of the Linnaean Society of London in 1983. White made important contributions to the development of cytology and cytogenetics. His work was influential in the study of speciation in biology. WILLIAM FRANKLIN BLAIR (19121985) developed an international reputation in the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology and conducted major research projects on subjects such as the genus Bufo and its parallels in the faunas of desert regions in North and South America. EDMUND BRISCO FORD (1901 1988) was a British ecological geneticist. He was a leader among those British biologists who investigated the role of natural selection in nature. He went on to study the genetics of natural populations, and invented the field of ecological genetics. Ford was awarded the Royal Society's Darwin Medal in 1954. ALFRED DAY HEERSHEY (1908 1997) was an American Nobel Prizewinning bacteriologist and geneticist. He began performing experiments with bacteriophages with Italian-American Salvador Luria and German Max Delbrück in 1940, and observed that when two different strains of bacteriophage have infected the same bacteria, the two viruses may exchange genetic information. He moved with his assistant Martha to Cold Spring Harbor, New York, in 1950 to join the Carnegie Institution of Washington's Department of Genetics, where he performed the famous Hershey-Chase experiment with Martha Chase in 1952. This experiment provided additional evidence that DNA, not protein, was the genetic material of life. He became director of the Carnegie Institution in 1962 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1969, shared with Salvador Luria and Max Delbrück for their discovery on the replication of viruses and their genetic structure. HIRAM BENTLEY GLASS (1906 2005) was an American geneticist and noted columnist. His first major academic appointment was at Johns Hopkins University, at which time he was also a regular columnist for the Baltimore Evening Sun newspaper. Like his doctoral mentor H. J. Muller, Bentley Glass was deeply concerned about eugenics. In response to the destructive racist views of Charles Davenport and others, Glass wrote "Geneticists Embattled: Their Stand Against Rampant Eugenics and Racism in America During the 1920s and 1930s". PHILIP LEVINE (1900 1987) was an imuno-hematologist whose clinical research advanced knowledge on the Rhesus factor, Hemolytic disease of the newborn and blood transfusion. About 1925 Levine became assistant to Karl Landsteiner at the Rockefeller Institute, New York. In 1935, he worked as a bacteriologist and serologist at Newark Beth Israel Hospital, New Jersey where, in 1939, Levine and Rufus E. Stetson published their findings about a family who had a stillborn baby in 1937 who had died of hemolytic disease of the newborn. This publication included the first suggestion that a mother could make blood group antibodies owing to immune sensitization to her fetus's red blood cells. ALAN ROBERTSON (1920 1989) was an English population geneticist. Originally a chemist, he was recruited after the Second World War to work on animal genetics on behalf of the British government, and continued in this sphere until his retirement in 1985. He was a major influence in the widespread adoption of artificial insemination of cattle. In addition to his work on agricultural genetics, Robertson under, Academic Press, 1947-1965, 0, Washington DC: Carnegie Endowment For International Peace, 2016.

Li Bin was a senior fellow working jointly in the Nuclear Policy Program and the Asia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. A physicist and expert on nuclear disarmament, his research focuses on China's nuclear and arms control policy and on U.S.-Chinese nuclear relations. Li is also a professor of international relations at Tsinghua University. He previously directed the arms control division at the Institute of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics, where he also served as executive director of the Program for Science and National Security Studies. Li was a Social Science Research Council-MacArthur Foundation Peace and Security Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Princeton University. In 1996, Li joined the Chinese delegation on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty negotiations. Li is the author of Arms Control Theories and Analysis and co-editor of Strategy and Security: A Technical View. He has also been published in numerous academic journals, including the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Arms Control Today, Jane's Intelligence Review, and Science & Global Security. Tong Zhao is a senior fellow with the Nuclear Policy Program and Carnegie China. Formerly based in Beijing, he now conducts research in Washington on strategic security issues, such as nuclear weapons policy, deterrence, arms control, nonproliferation, missile defense, hypersonic weapons, regional security issues in Asia Pacific, and China's security and foreign policy. Chinese and U.S. nuclear experts communicate regularly, but these exchanges often remain difficult and inefficient. Critical differences between Chinese and U.S. thinking about nuclear weapons and deterrence result not merely from differing security environments and levels of military strength; they also exist because China and the United States have developed their own nuclear philosophies in implementing their security policies over many years. A deeper understanding of these differences sheds light on the fundamental drivers of China's nuclear policies and how such policies may evolve in the future. Important strategic concepts have very different connotations among Chinese and U.S. experts, including nuclear deterrence, arms races, and strategic stability. Chinese analysts, for instance, consider nuclear deterrence and compellence to be indistinguishable in most cases, and thus often criticize the offensive implications of some U.S. nuclear deterrence policies. China's security paradigm emphasizes national security challenges deriving from vulnerability, particularly technical lagging, whereby another country masters a military technology that it has not. In many cases, China pursues military and nuclear development efforts simply to master new defense technologies, but not necessarily deploy them, so as to avoid technical lagging. China believes the ultimate goal of nuclear disarmament is completely eliminating all nuclear weapons and that the best way of achieving this is to first constrain their use. This informs how China prefers to approach nuclear disarmament. China's no-first-use policy for its nuclear weapons still serves its national security interests. Notwithstanding recent debates, the policy continues to effectively guide China's nuclear-weapon development and operations, and its nuclear-arms-control diplomacy. Chinese experts weigh both technical and political factors in their calculation of strategic stability. They especially worry about instability caused by technical lagging. To reduce the danger of nuclear war, Chinese analysts favor the maintenance of an effective firebreak between nuclear weapons and conventional conflict. China views nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism as growing national security challenges. Beijing emphasizes the importance of addressing the root causes of proliferation and supports greater international cooperative efforts to mitigate these risks. China has made its nuclear policy and practices more transparent in recent years. But such transparency needs to be organized more systematically to make U.S.-China nuclear dialogue more effective. Other countries' nuclear-weapon strategies are increasingly influencing traditional Chinese nuclear thinking and nuclear-weapon policy. Consequently, growing debates in China about its nuclear-weapon policy could result in some deployments of new Chinese weapons, as seen in other nuclear-armed states., Carnegie Endowment For International Peace, 2016, 3, New York: Basic Books, Inc., 1989.

GROUNDBREAKING THEORY OF CONSCIOUSNESS BY NOBEL LAUREATE GERALD EDELMAN INSCRIBED TO NOBEL LAUREATE DONALD GLASER WHO SWITCHED FROM PARTICLE PHYSICS TO NEUROBIOLOGY. 9 1/2 inches tall hardcover, black cloth binding, gilt title to spine, inscribed on front flyleaf, "For Don Glaser/ with warm regards/ Gerry Edelman," xxi, 346 pp, illustrations. Very good in very good dust jacket. GERALD M. EDELMAN (1929 2014) was an American biologist who shared the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for work with Rodney Robert Porter on the immune system. Edelman's Nobel Prize-winning research concerned discovery of the structure of antibody molecules. In interviews, he has said that the way the components of the immune system evolve over the life of the individual is analogous to the way the components of the brain evolve in a lifetime. There is a continuity in this way between his work on the immune system, for which he won the Nobel Prize, and his later work in neuroscience and in philosophy of mind. In his books, Edelman proposed a biological theory of consciousness, based on his studies of the immune system. He explicitly located his theory within Charles Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection, citing the key tenets of Darwin's population theory, which postulates that individual variation within species provides the basis for the natural selection that eventually leads to the evolution of new species. He explicitly rejected dualism and also dismissed newer hypotheses such as the so-called 'computational' model of consciousness, which liken the brain's functions to the operations of a computer. Edelman argued that the mind and consciousness are purely biological phenomena, arising from complex cellular processes within the brain, and that the development of consciousness and intelligence can be explained by Darwinian theory. DONALD ARTHUR GLASER (1926 2013) was an American physicist, neurobiologist, and the winner of the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention of the bubble chamber used in subatomic particle physics. He joined the faculty of the University of California at Berkeley, in 1959, as a Professor of Physics. During this time his research concerned short-lived elementary particles. The bubble chamber enabled him to observe the paths and lifetimes of the particles. Starting in 1962, Glaser changed his field of research to molecular biology, starting with a project on ultraviolet-induced cancer. In 1964, he was given the additional title of Professor of Molecular Biology. Glaser's position (since 1989) was Professor of Physics and Neurobiology in the Graduate School. As molecular biology became more dependent on biochemistry, Glaser again considered a career change. His experience automating visual tasks in physics and molecular biology led him to an interest in human vision and how the brain processes what is seen. He began to work on computational modeling of the visual system and visual psychophysics, and spent a sabbatical at the Rowland Institute for Science., Basic Books, Inc., 1989, 0, Springer, Auflage: 2008 (20.

Revised, re-edited with new introduction and two new chapters. Norbert Wiener (November 26, 1894 - March 18, 1964) was an American mathematician and philosopher. He was a professor of mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). A child prodigy, Wiener later became an early researcher in stochastic and mathematical noise processes, contributing work relevant to electronic engineering, electronic communication, and control systems. Wiener is considered the originator of cybernetics, a formalization of the notion of feedback, with implications for engineering, systems control, computer science, biology, neuroscience, philosophy, and the organization of society. Norbert Wiener is credited as being one of the first to theorize that all intelligent behavior was the result of feedback mechanisms, that could possibly be simulated by machines and was an important early step towards the development of modern artificial intelligence. Harvard awarded Wiener a Ph.D. in June 1913, when he was only 19 years old, for a dissertation on mathematical logic. Many tales, perhaps apocryphal, were told of him at MIT, especially concerning his absent-mindedness. It was said that he returned home once to find his house empty. He inquired of a neighborhood girl the reason, and she said that the family had moved elsewhere that day. He thanked her for the information and she replied, "That's why I stayed behind, Daddy!" Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine is a book written by Norbert Wiener and published in 1948. It is the first public usage of the term "cybernetics" to refer to self-regulating mechanisms. The book laid the theoretical foundation for servomechanisms (whether electrical, mechanical or hydraulic), automatic navigation, analog computing, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and reliable communications. A second edition with minor changes and two additional chapters was published in 1961. The book provided a foundation for research into electronic engineering, computing (both analog and digital), servomechanisms, automation, telecommunications and neuroscience. It also created widespread public debates on the technical, philosophical and sociological issues it discussed. And it inspired a wide range of books on various subjects peripherally related to its content. The book introduced the word 'cybernetics' itself into public discourse. Maxwell Maltz titled his pioneering self-development work "Psycho-Cybernetics" in reference to the process of steering oneself towards a pre-defined goal by making corrections to behavior. Much of the personal development industry and the Human potential movement is said to be derived from Maltz's work. Cybernetics became a surprise bestseller and was widely read beyond the technical audience that Wiener had expected. In response he wrote The Human Use of Human Beings in which he further explored the social and psychological implications in a format more suited to the non-technical reader. In 1954, Marie Neurath produced a children's book Machines which seem to Think , which introduced the concepts of Cybernetics, control systems and negative feedback in an accessible format. Acclaimed one of the "seminal books... comparable in ultimate importance to... Galileo or Malthus or Rousseau or Mill," Cybernetics was judged by twenty-seven historians, economists, educators, and philosophers to be one of those books published during the "past four decades," which may have a substantial impact on public thought and action in the years ahead. Saturday Review., The M.I.T. Press, 1962, 2.75, Springer, 2013. 2013. Hardcover. 15,6 x 3,8 x 23,4 cm. The aim of this book is an applied and unified introduction into parametric, non- and semiparametric regression that closes the gap between theory and application. The most important models and methods in regression are presented on a solid formal basis, and their appropriate application is shown through many real data examples and case studies. Availability of (user-friendly) software has been a major criterion for the methods selected and presented. Thus, the book primarily targets an audience that includes students, teachers and practitioners in social, economic, and life sciences, as well as students and teachers in statistics programs, and mathematicians and computer scientists with interests in statistical modeling and data analysis. It is written on an intermediate mathematical level and assumes only knowledge of basic probability, calculus, and statistics. The most important definitions and statements are concisely summarized in boxes. Two appendices describe required matrix algebra, as well as elements of probability calculus and statistical inference.

If mathematics is the purest form of knowledge, the perfect foundation of all the hard sciences, and a uniquely precise discipline, then how can the human brain, an imperfect and imprecise organ, process mathematical ideas? Is mathematics made up of eternal, universal truths? Or, as some have claimed, could mathematics simply be a human invention, a kind of tool or metaphor? These questions are among the greatest enigmas of science and epistemology, discussed at length by mathematicians, physicians, and philosophers. But, curiously enough, neuroscientists have been absent in the debate, even though it is precisely the field of neuroscience-which studies the brain's mechanisms for thinking and reasoning-that ought to be at the very center of these discussions. How our Emotions and Bodies are Vital for Abstract Thought explores the unique mechanisms of cooperation between the body, emotions, and the cortex, based on fundamental physical principles. It is these mechanisms that help us to overcome the limitations of our physiology and allow our imperfect, human brains to make transcendent mathematical discoveries. This book is written for anyone who is interested in the nature of abstract thought, including mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, psychologists, and psychiatrists., 6, Springer, Auflage: 2008 (20.

Now in its sixth edition, Merryl Goldberg's popular volume Arts Integration presents a comprehensive guide to integrating the arts throughout the K-12 curriculum, blending contemporary theory with classroom practice. Beyond teaching about arts education as a subject in and of itself, the text explains how teachers may integrate the arts-literary, media, visual, and performing-throughout the subject curriculum, offering a wealth of strategies, techniques, and examples. Promoting ways to develop children's creativity and critical thinking while also developing communications skills and fostering collaboration and community activism, Arts Integration explores assessment and the arts, engaging English Language Learners, and using the arts to teach academic skills in science, math, history, and more. This text is ideal as a primer on arts integration and a foundational support for teaching, learning, and assessment, especially within the context of multicultural and multilingual classrooms. In-depth discussions of the role of arts integration in meeting the goals of Title I programs, including academic achievement, student engagement, school climate and parental involvement, are woven throughout the text, as is the role of the arts in nurturing Creative Youth Development work and its importance to the community. This revised and updated sixth edition combines a social justice emphasis with templates for developing lesson plans and units, updated coverage on STEAM education, along with brand new examples, case studies, and research. An expanded range of eResources are also available for this edition, including links to further resources readings, additional imagery and videos, and sample lesson plans., 6, Springer, Auflage: 2008 (20.

Overall good+. PREFACE to Volume 1: As material for their research geneticists use higher and lower plants, higher and lower animals, and recently also viruses and bacteriophages. They study heredity in man. In their experiments they may use biophysical methods, they may investigate the chemical synthesis of organic compounds, they may study the components of living cells. A considerable part of genetic research deals with practical problems related to the breeding of plants and animals. As a consequence of these several aspects of research in genetics, the results of such research are published in a wide variety of journals, and summary reviews are scattered among a considerable number of review periodicals. This series of review articles. Advances in Genetics, has been started in order that critical summaries of outstanding genetic problems, written by competent geneticists, may appear in a single publication. The articles are expected to deal with both theoretical and practical problems, and to cover plant breeding, animal breeding, and human heredity, as well as the related fields of biophysics, biochemistry, physiology, and immunology. The aim is to have the articles written in such form that they will be useful as reference material for geneticists and also as a source of information to nongeneticists. M. Demerec. Cold Spring Harbor, New York. MILISLAV DEMEREC (1895 1966) was a Croatian-American geneticist, and the director of the Department of Genetics, Carnegie Institution of Washington, now Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory from 1941 to 1960, recruiting Barbara McClintock and Alfred Hershey. He became a prominent Drosophila researcher and established the Drosophila Information Service newsletter in 1934 with Calvin Bridges. In the 1940s the direction of Demerec's research changed to the genetics of bacteria and their viruses after a symposium given by Max Delbrück. In 1946 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, and in 1947 became the founding editor of Advances in Genetics, the first journal to review the finding of modern genetics. ERNEST BROWN BABCOCK (1877 1954) was an United States plant geneticist who pioneered the understanding of plant evolution in terms of genetics. He is particularly known for seeking to understand by field investigations and extensive experiments, the entire polyploid apomictic genus Crepis, in which he recognize 196 species. In his career he published more than 100 articles and books explaining plant genetics, including the seminal textbook (with Roy Elwood Clausen) Genetics in relation to agriculture. JAY LAURENCE LUSH (1896 1982) was a pioneering animal geneticist who made important contributions to livestock breeding. He is sometimes known as the father of modern scientific animal breeding. Lush received National Medal of Science in 1968 and the Wolf Prize in 1979. Lush advocated breeding not based on subjective appearance of the animal, but on quantitative statistics and genetic information. Lush authored a classic book 'Animal Breeding Plans' in 1937 which greatly influenced animal breeding around the world. From 1930 to 1966, Lush was the Charles F. Curtiss Distinguished Professor in Agriculture at Iowa State University. He was elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences in 1967. TRACY MORTON SONNEBORN (1905 1981) was an American biologist. His life's study was of the Paramecium. In the late 1950s he conducted an elegant series of experiments in his endeavors to discover what it is that mediates the synchronized movement of the paramecium's cilia. Sonneborn surgically removed a small section of cell wall and replaced it rotated by 180 degrees. The cilia in the replaced section continued to 'wave' in the same direction as they had before surgery, i.e. now in antiphase to the others. What was remarkable is that both daughters of paramecia on which this operation had been performed also showed the same trait of a reverse phase wave in a similar area of their cell wall, as did, to a lesser extent, the granddaughter cells. This clear evidence for non-Mendelian inheritance was largely overlooked by the scientific community. ERNST WOLFGANG CASPARI (1909 - 1988) was a German-American zoologist and geneticist. Caspari was the first researcher to use methods of developmental biology to analyze the action of a gene. By transplanting larval tissue between the wild type and a red-eyed mutant of the moth, Ephestia, he demonstrated that wild-type larvae produce a diffusible "substance" that is lacking in the mutant and is necessary for the development of eye pigmentation. Further characterization of the substance and an approach to isolate it were interrupted by the Nazi government: he escaped to Turkey and later to the United States but did not get a chance to further contribute to the rapid development in the field, which led to the "one-gene-one-enzyme" hypothesis. Caspari's results, published in 1933, represent the first step toward this hypothesis of gene action. ERNST WALTER MAYR (1904 2005) was one of the 20th century's leading evolutionary biologists. He was also a renowned taxonomist, tropical explorer, ornithologist, philosopher of biology, and historian of science. His work contributed to the conceptual revolution that led to the modern evolutionary synthesis of Mendelian genetics, systematics, and Darwinian evolution, and to the development of the biological species concept. ERNEST R. SEARS (1910-1991) was a geneticist with the United States Department of Agriculture at the University of Missouri in Columbia, working on the origin, evolution, and cytogenetics of wheat for 55 years. Over the years Sears became one of the most respected names in wheat cytogenetics in the world. Probably his most important early achievement was to develop, over a 15-year period, a complete series of aneuploids--nullisomics, monosomics, trisomics and tetrasomics--for all 21 chromosomes of wheat. DAVID GUTHRIE CATCHESIDE (1907-1994) was one of the seminal figures in the post-war development of genetics, both in the United Kingdom and Australia. As a teacher and postgraduate supervisor he played a large part in launching the next generation of geneticists in both hemispheres. The implications of this integrationist view for university teaching were set out in a letter that he had published in Nature in 1963. NORMAN HAROLD HOROWITZ (1915 2005) was a geneticist at Caltech who achieved national fame as the scientist who devised experiments to determine whether life might exist on Mars. His experiments were carried out by the Viking Lander of 1976, the first U.S. mission to successfully land an unmanned probe on the surface of Mars. As a scientist, Horowitz is best known for his discovery and demonstration in 1944 that a metabolic pathway is a series of steps, each catalyzed by a single enzyme. His discovery helped to clinch the case for George Beadle and Edward Tatum's "one gene-one enzyme hypothesis" (a term Horowitz coined for their concept). Another important contribution of Horowitz was his 1945 proposal on the "backward evolution" of biosynthetic pathways. This proposal provided a framework for understanding the evolution of biosynthetic pathways and presaged the study of molecular evolution. EDWARD BUTTS LEWIS (1918 2004) was an American geneticist, a corecipient of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. His Nobel Prizewinning studies with Drosophila, (including the discovery of the Drosophila Bithorax complex of homeotic genes, and elucidation of its function), founded the field of evolutionary developmental biology and laid the groundwork for our current understanding of the universal, evolutionarily conserved strategies controlling animal development. He is credited with development of the complementation test. His key publications in the fields of genetics, developmental biology, radiation and cancer are presented in the book Genes, Development and Cancer, which was released in 2004. ALAN ROBERT GEORGE OWEN (19192003) was a university lecturer in genetics (Cambridge, 1950-70) and mathematics (Fellow, Trinity College, 1962-70), but resigned those positions to emigrate to Canada in 1970. He wrote about 40 scientific papers in the fields of mathematics, statistics, genetics, and population theory, that were published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, Heredity, Biometrics, Biometrika, Sanhkya, and Nature. In 1969 the Owens were invited to immigrate to Canada where Dr. Owen was to direct the parapsychology research of the Toronto-based New Horizons Research Foundation, a non-profit organization incorporated "to promote research on the frontiers of science and disseminate information." SALOME GLUECKSOHN-WAELSCH (1907 2007) was a German-born U.S. geneticist and co-founder of the field of developmental genetics studied chemistry and zoology in Königsberg and Berlin before she joined Spemann's laboratory at the University of Freiburg in 1928. In 1932 she received her doctorate for her work on the embryological limb development of aquatic salamanders. She went on to become a lecturer at Columbia University in 1936, bringing embryological acumen to Leslie C. Dunn's genetics laboratory, where she remained for 17 years. She left Columbia University in 1953 to commence a professorship in anatomy at the newly founded Albert Einstein College of Medicine where she held the chair of molecular genetics from 1963 to 1976. As Gluecksohn-Waelsch combined the embryological expertise she had acquired at Spemann´s lab with methods of classical mouse genetics, she is considered the founder of mammalian developmental genetics. ERNST HADORN (1902-1976) was a Swiss geneticist. In 1937, Hadorn applied for a Rockefeller fellowship and spent a year at Rochester University where he met Curt Stern and Drosophila Two years later, he accepted a position as Professor of Zoology at the University of Zurich, where he remained until he retired in 1972. He was a pioneer of developmental genetics who recognized the analytical power of genetic mosaics. In 1972, Hadorn organized an international conference at Boldern, a rural site just South of Zurich. Hadorn had a dream: he wanted to build a bridge and bring together developmental genetics and molecular biology. To this end, he selected and invited an illustrious group of some 15 molecular biologists plus an equal number of "Drosophilists" from all over the world, truly "the best and the brightest". And the names read like a list from the Hall of Fame: François Jacob, Gerald Edelman, Manfred Eigen, Francis Crick, Charles Weissmann, Max Birnstiel, Sol Spiegelman, Sydney Brenner, Boris Ephrussi, Peter Lawrence, Antonio Garcia-Bellido, Klaus Sander, John Gurdon, Conrad Waddington, Jean Brachet, Tuneo Yamada, and many others. MICHAEL JAMES DENHAM WHITE (1910 1983) was a zoologist and cytologist. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1961, and won the Linnaean Medal of the Linnaean Society of London in 1983. White made important contributions to the development of cytology and cytogenetics. His work was influential in the study of speciation in biology. WILLIAM FRANKLIN BLAIR (19121985) developed an international reputation in the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology and conducted major research projects on subjects such as the genus Bufo and its parallels in the faunas of desert regions in North and South America. EDMUND BRISCO FORD (1901 1988) was a British ecological geneticist. He was a leader among those British biologists who investigated the role of natural selection in nature. He went on to study the genetics of natural populations, and invented the field of ecological genetics. Ford was awarded the Royal Society's Darwin Medal in 1954. ALFRED DAY HEERSHEY (1908 1997) was an American Nobel Prizewinning bacteriologist and geneticist. He began performing experiments with bacteriophages with Italian-American Salvador Luria and German Max Delbrück in 1940, and observed that when two different strains of bacteriophage have infected the same bacteria, the two viruses may exchange genetic information. He moved with his assistant Martha to Cold Spring Harbor, New York, in 1950 to join the Carnegie Institution of Washington's Department of Genetics, where he performed the famous Hershey-Chase experiment with Martha Chase in 1952. This experiment provided additional evidence that DNA, not protein, was the genetic material of life. He became director of the Carnegie Institution in 1962 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1969, shared with Salvador Luria and Max Delbrück for their discovery on the replication of viruses and their genetic structure. HIRAM BENTLEY GLASS (1906 2005) was an American geneticist and noted columnist. His first major academic appointment was at Johns Hopkins University, at which time he was also a regular columnist for the Baltimore Evening Sun newspaper. Like his doctoral mentor H. J. Muller, Bentley Glass was deeply concerned about eugenics. In response to the destructive racist views of Charles Davenport and others, Glass wrote "Geneticists Embattled: Their Stand Against Rampant Eugenics and Racism in America During the 1920s and 1930s". PHILIP LEVINE (1900 1987) was an imuno-hematologist whose clinical research advanced knowledge on the Rhesus factor, Hemolytic disease of the newborn and blood transfusion. About 1925 Levine became assistant to Karl Landsteiner at the Rockefeller Institute, New York. In 1935, he worked as a bacteriologist and serologist at Newark Beth Israel Hospital, New Jersey where, in 1939, Levine and Rufus E. Stetson published their findings about a family who had a stillborn baby in 1937 who had died of hemolytic disease of the newborn. This publication included the first suggestion that a mother could make blood group antibodies owing to immune sensitization to her fetus's red blood cells. ALAN ROBERTSON (1920 1989) was an English population geneticist. Originally a chemist, he was recruited after the Second World War to work on animal genetics on behalf of the British government, and continued in this sphere until his retirement in 1985. He was a major influence in the widespread adoption of artificial insemination of cattle. In addition to his work on agricultural genetics, Robertson under, Academic Press, 1947-1965, 0, Washington DC: Carnegie Endowment For International Peace, 2016.

Li Bin was a senior fellow working jointly in the Nuclear Policy Program and the Asia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. A physicist and expert on nuclear disarmament, his research focuses on China's nuclear and arms control policy and on U.S.-Chinese nuclear relations. Li is also a professor of international relations at Tsinghua University. He previously directed the arms control division at the Institute of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics, where he also served as executive director of the Program for Science and National Security Studies. Li was a Social Science Research Council-MacArthur Foundation Peace and Security Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Princeton University. In 1996, Li joined the Chinese delegation on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty negotiations. Li is the author of Arms Control Theories and Analysis and co-editor of Strategy and Security: A Technical View. He has also been published in numerous academic journals, including the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Arms Control Today, Jane's Intelligence Review, and Science & Global Security. Tong Zhao is a senior fellow with the Nuclear Policy Program and Carnegie China. Formerly based in Beijing, he now conducts research in Washington on strategic security issues, such as nuclear weapons policy, deterrence, arms control, nonproliferation, missile defense, hypersonic weapons, regional security issues in Asia Pacific, and China's security and foreign policy. Chinese and U.S. nuclear experts communicate regularly, but these exchanges often remain difficult and inefficient. Critical differences between Chinese and U.S. thinking about nuclear weapons and deterrence result not merely from differing security environments and levels of military strength; they also exist because China and the United States have developed their own nuclear philosophies in implementing their security policies over many years. A deeper understanding of these differences sheds light on the fundamental drivers of China's nuclear policies and how such policies may evolve in the future. Important strategic concepts have very different connotations among Chinese and U.S. experts, including nuclear deterrence, arms races, and strategic stability. Chinese analysts, for instance, consider nuclear deterrence and compellence to be indistinguishable in most cases, and thus often criticize the offensive implications of some U.S. nuclear deterrence policies. China's security paradigm emphasizes national security challenges deriving from vulnerability, particularly technical lagging, whereby another country masters a military technology that it has not. In many cases, China pursues military and nuclear development efforts simply to master new defense technologies, but not necessarily deploy them, so as to avoid technical lagging. China believes the ultimate goal of nuclear disarmament is completely eliminating all nuclear weapons and that the best way of achieving this is to first constrain their use. This informs how China prefers to approach nuclear disarmament. China's no-first-use policy for its nuclear weapons still serves its national security interests. Notwithstanding recent debates, the policy continues to effectively guide China's nuclear-weapon development and operations, and its nuclear-arms-control diplomacy. Chinese experts weigh both technical and political factors in their calculation of strategic stability. They especially worry about instability caused by technical lagging. To reduce the danger of nuclear war, Chinese analysts favor the maintenance of an effective firebreak between nuclear weapons and conventional conflict. China views nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism as growing national security challenges. Beijing emphasizes the importance of addressing the root causes of proliferation and supports greater international cooperative efforts to mitigate these risks. China has made its nuclear policy and practices more transparent in recent years. But such transparency needs to be organized more systematically to make U.S.-China nuclear dialogue more effective. Other countries' nuclear-weapon strategies are increasingly influencing traditional Chinese nuclear thinking and nuclear-weapon policy. Consequently, growing debates in China about its nuclear-weapon policy could result in some deployments of new Chinese weapons, as seen in other nuclear-armed states., Carnegie Endowment For International Peace, 2016, 3, New York: Basic Books, Inc., 1989.

GROUNDBREAKING THEORY OF CONSCIOUSNESS BY NOBEL LAUREATE GERALD EDELMAN INSCRIBED TO NOBEL LAUREATE DONALD GLASER WHO SWITCHED FROM PARTICLE PHYSICS TO NEUROBIOLOGY. 9 1/2 inches tall hardcover, black cloth binding, gilt title to spine, inscribed on front flyleaf, "For Don Glaser/ with warm regards/ Gerry Edelman," xxi, 346 pp, illustrations. Very good in very good dust jacket. GERALD M. EDELMAN (1929 2014) was an American biologist who shared the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for work with Rodney Robert Porter on the immune system. Edelman's Nobel Prize-winning research concerned discovery of the structure of antibody molecules. In interviews, he has said that the way the components of the immune system evolve over the life of the individual is analogous to the way the components of the brain evolve in a lifetime. There is a continuity in this way between his work on the immune system, for which he won the Nobel Prize, and his later work in neuroscience and in philosophy of mind. In his books, Edelman proposed a biological theory of consciousness, based on his studies of the immune system. He explicitly located his theory within Charles Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection, citing the key tenets of Darwin's population theory, which postulates that individual variation within species provides the basis for the natural selection that eventually leads to the evolution of new species. He explicitly rejected dualism and also dismissed newer hypotheses such as the so-called 'computational' model of consciousness, which liken the brain's functions to the operations of a computer. Edelman argued that the mind and consciousness are purely biological phenomena, arising from complex cellular processes within the brain, and that the development of consciousness and intelligence can be explained by Darwinian theory. DONALD ARTHUR GLASER (1926 2013) was an American physicist, neurobiologist, and the winner of the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention of the bubble chamber used in subatomic particle physics. He joined the faculty of the University of California at Berkeley, in 1959, as a Professor of Physics. During this time his research concerned short-lived elementary particles. The bubble chamber enabled him to observe the paths and lifetimes of the particles. Starting in 1962, Glaser changed his field of research to molecular biology, starting with a project on ultraviolet-induced cancer. In 1964, he was given the additional title of Professor of Molecular Biology. Glaser's position (since 1989) was Professor of Physics and Neurobiology in the Graduate School. As molecular biology became more dependent on biochemistry, Glaser again considered a career change. His experience automating visual tasks in physics and molecular biology led him to an interest in human vision and how the brain processes what is seen. He began to work on computational modeling of the visual system and visual psychophysics, and spent a sabbatical at the Rowland Institute for Science., Basic Books, Inc., 1989, 0, Springer, Auflage: 2008 (20.

Revised, re-edited with new introduction and two new chapters. Norbert Wiener (November 26, 1894 - March 18, 1964) was an American mathematician and philosopher. He was a professor of mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). A child prodigy, Wiener later became an early researcher in stochastic and mathematical noise processes, contributing work relevant to electronic engineering, electronic communication, and control systems. Wiener is considered the originator of cybernetics, a formalization of the notion of feedback, with implications for engineering, systems control, computer science, biology, neuroscience, philosophy, and the organization of society. Norbert Wiener is credited as being one of the first to theorize that all intelligent behavior was the result of feedback mechanisms, that could possibly be simulated by machines and was an important early step towards the development of modern artificial intelligence. Harvard awarded Wiener a Ph.D. in June 1913, when he was only 19 years old, for a dissertation on mathematical logic. Many tales, perhaps apocryphal, were told of him at MIT, especially concerning his absent-mindedness. It was said that he returned home once to find his house empty. He inquired of a neighborhood girl the reason, and she said that the family had moved elsewhere that day. He thanked her for the information and she replied, "That's why I stayed behind, Daddy!" Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine is a book written by Norbert Wiener and published in 1948. It is the first public usage of the term "cybernetics" to refer to self-regulating mechanisms. The book laid the theoretical foundation for servomechanisms (whether electrical, mechanical or hydraulic), automatic navigation, analog computing, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and reliable communications. A second edition with minor changes and two additional chapters was published in 1961. The book provided a foundation for research into electronic engineering, computing (both analog and digital), servomechanisms, automation, telecommunications and neuroscience. It also created widespread public debates on the technical, philosophical and sociological issues it discussed. And it inspired a wide range of books on various subjects peripherally related to its content. The book introduced the word 'cybernetics' itself into public discourse. Maxwell Maltz titled his pioneering self-development work "Psycho-Cybernetics" in reference to the process of steering oneself towards a pre-defined goal by making corrections to behavior. Much of the personal development industry and the Human potential movement is said to be derived from Maltz's work. Cybernetics became a surprise bestseller and was widely read beyond the technical audience that Wiener had expected. In response he wrote The Human Use of Human Beings in which he further explored the social and psychological implications in a format more suited to the non-technical reader. In 1954, Marie Neurath produced a children's book Machines which seem to Think , which introduced the concepts of Cybernetics, control systems and negative feedback in an accessible format. Acclaimed one of the "seminal books... comparable in ultimate importance to... Galileo or Malthus or Rousseau or Mill," Cybernetics was judged by twenty-seven historians, economists, educators, and philosophers to be one of those books published during the "past four decades," which may have a substantial impact on public thought and action in the years ahead. Saturday Review., The M.I.T. Press, 1962, 2.75, Springer, 2013. 2013. Hardcover. 15,6 x 3,8 x 23,4 cm. The aim of this book is an applied and unified introduction into parametric, non- and semiparametric regression that closes the gap between theory and application. The most important models and methods in regression are presented on a solid formal basis, and their appropriate application is shown through many real data examples and case studies. Availability of (user-friendly) software has been a major criterion for the methods selected and presented. Thus, the book primarily targets an audience that includes students, teachers and practitioners in social, economic, and life sciences, as well as students and teachers in statistics programs, and mathematicians and computer scientists with interests in statistical modeling and data analysis. It is written on an intermediate mathematical level and assumes only knowledge of basic probability, calculus, and statistics. The most important definitions and statements are concisely summarized in boxes. Two appendices describe required matrix algebra, as well as elements of probability calculus and statistical inference.

If mathematics is the purest form of knowledge, the perfect foundation of all the hard sciences, and a uniquely precise discipline, then how can the human brain, an imperfect and imprecise organ, process mathematical ideas? Is mathematics made up of eternal, universal truths? Or, as some have claimed, could mathematics simply be a human invention, a kind of tool or metaphor? These questions are among the greatest enigmas of science and epistemology, discussed at length by mathematicians, physicians, and philosophers. But, curiously enough, neuroscientists have been absent in the debate, even though it is precisely the field of neuroscience-which studies the brain's mechanisms for thinking and reasoning-that ought to be at the very center of these discussions. How our Emotions and Bodies are Vital for Abstract Thought explores the unique mechanisms of cooperation between the body, emotions, and the cortex, based on fundamental physical principles. It is these mechanisms that help us to overcome the limitations of our physiology and allow our imperfect, human brains to make transcendent mathematical discoveries. This book is written for anyone who is interested in the nature of abstract thought, including mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, psychologists, and psychiatrists., 6, Springer, Auflage: 2008 (20.

Just like all Springer Handbooks, it is utterly comprehensive, edited by internationally renowned experts, and replete with contributions from leading researchers from around the world. The handbook is an ideal resource for robotics experts but also for people new to this expanding field. Bruno Siciliano is Professor of Control and Robotics at the University of Naples Federico II in Italy, President of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, and a Fellow of both IEEE and ASME. Oussama Khatib is Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University in the USA, President of the International Foundation of Robotics Research, an IEEE Fellow, and a recipient of the Japan Robot Association Award in Research and Development.

Part B is concerned with the design, modeling, motion planning, and control of the actual physical realizations of a robot. Some of the more obvious mechanical structures that come to mind are arms, legs, and hands; to this list can be added wheeled vehicles and platforms, and robot structures at the micro and nano scales. With separate chapters devoted to performance criteria and model identification, the chapters in this part successively examine serial redundant mechanisms, parallel mechanisms, flexible robots, robot hands, robot legs, wheeled robots, and micro- and nanoscale robots.
Chap. 18. Micro/Nano Robots (Brad Nelson, Lixin Dong, Fumihito Arai)
Part C covers different sensory modalities and integration of sensor data across space and time to generate models of robots and the external environment. The main sensor types such as tactile, odometry, GPS, ranging and visual perception are presented. Both basic sensor models, sensor data processing and associated representations are covered. Finally, a chapter on sensor fusion itroduces the mathematical tools needed for integration of sensor information across space and time.
Chap. 25. Sensor Fusion (Hugh Durrant-Whyte, Tom Henderson)
Part D is separated into two subparts. The first half is concerned with manipulation where frameworks of modeling, motion planning, and control of grasp and manipulation of an object are addressed, and the second half is concerned with interfaces where physical human-robot interactions are handled.
Chap. 33. Exoskeletons for Human Performance Augmentation (Hami Kazerooni)
Part E Mobile and Distributed Robotics, covers a wide span. The topics address motion planning and control of wheeled robots with kinematic constraints, perception and world modeling, simultaneous localization and mapping, and the integration of those capacities in a control architecture, as a mobile robot is actually the paradigm of a complex integrated system. In addition, multirobot interaction and systems are developed, including modular and reconfigurable robots as well as networked robotics.
Chap. 41. Networked Robots (Vijay Kumar, Daniela Rus, Gaurav Sukhatme)
Part F covers topics related to creating field and service application based robots that operate in all types of environments. This includes applications ranging from industrial-robots, through a diverse array of air, land, sea and space applications to educational robotics. This part of the handbook draws on Parts A-E and describes how robots can be put to work. The chapters describe fit for purpose robots and include hardware design, control, perception, and user interfaces. The economic and social drivers for the particular applications are also discussed.
Chap. 55. Robots for Education (David Miller, Illah Nourbakhsh, Roland Siegwart)
Part G covers topics related to creating robots that operate in human-centered environments. This includes the design of robots with humanoid and other biologically inspired morphologies, sensors, actuators, and control architectures. User interfaces such as programming by demonstration and programming for safety are also included in this part. The part concludes with the socio-ethical implications of robots.
