This text provides a solid introduction to advanced geophysics. Part I focuses on the interior structure of the earth, featuring a large section on plate tectonics and discussing such problems as the source mechanisms of earthquakes, tides, the rheology of the crust and mantle and the evolution of the lunar orbit. Part II focuses on the interior structure of the moon, the giant planets and the structure of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter and Titan and the icy satellites of Saturn.

Inspired by the immensely influential 1937 sociological study Middletown: A Case Study in Cultural Conflicts by Rovert and Helen Lynd, Peter Davis's six documentary films about Muncie, Indiana, set out to examine the lives of Munsonians in the early 1980s. The disputes and conflicts accompanying the filming revealed more about AMerican values and customs than the films themselves. While attempting to transform the data from the Middletown studies into a meaningful and interesting visual form, the filmmakers were constantly distracted by the pressures, decisions and perils of government- and corporate-funded documentary filmmaking. Dwight W. Hoover, a Muncie historian and collaborator in the iddletown film project, describes why the folms were make and how they changed the lives of everyone involved.

The feminist therapy movement began in the early 1970s, concurrent with Women's Liberation. Its early practitioners had diverse lifestyles and backgrounds, but all had a common goal of providing a voice of reason within a psychological community that still measured women's mental health in terms of rigid, submissive social roles. This book is the first history of feminist therapy. The contributors share the personal experiences and reflections that helped them define themselves as feminist therapists. They also look at the present and future of psychology and society in general.

Data drawn from 25 years of Soviet space flights, and analyzed by scientists throughout the world, is the basis of a review of the immune systems of both humans and animals under such conditions as prolonged hypokinesia, isolation, and extreme temperatures. Of special concern are disorders of bone-calcium metabolism provoked by long-term hypokinesia and weightlessness, and diseases accompanied by osteoporosis. Seven of the ten chapters discuss humans; one, animals; and one, experiments on isolated cells. An introductory overview is included. Suitable for theoretical or clinical immunologists, physiologists, and biologists. First published in Russian in 1988. Acidic paper. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Comparative Physiology and Evolution of the Autonomic Nervous System, the fourth volume in The Autonomic Nervous System book series, is an up-to-date account of the comparative physiology and functional anatomy of the autonomic nervous system, with an emphasis on non-mammalian vertebrates. The book starts with an overview of the field, and then discusses both 'classical' (adrenergic and cholinergic) and non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC) types of neurotransmission. The account is then further developed by an examination of the autonomic nervous control of specific systems and organs, including chromaffin systems, the circulatory system, the gastrointestinal canal, glands, the spleen, lungs and swimbladder, urinogenital organs, chromatophores and the iris.
