The human nervous system
Jürgen K. Mai, George Paxinos
The previous two editions of the Human Nervous System have been the standard reference for the anatomy of the central and peripheral nervous system of the human. The work has attracted nearly 2000 citations, demonstrating that it has a major influence in the field of neuroscience. The third edition is a complete and updated revision, with new chapters covering genes and anatomy, gene expression studies, and glia cells. The book continues to be an excellent companion to the Atlas of the Human Brain, and a common nomenclature throughout the book is enforced. Physiological data, functional concepts, and correlates to the neuroanatomy of the major model systems (rat and mouse) as well as brain function round out the new edition. *Adopts standard nomenclature following the new scheme by Paxinos, Watson, and Puelles and aligned with the Mai et al. Atlas of the Human Brain (new edition in 2007) * Full color throughout with many new and significantly enhanced illustrations * Provides essential reference information for users in conjunction with brain atlases for the identification of brain structures, the connectivity between different areas, and to evaluate data collected in anatomical, physiological, pharmacological, behavioural, and imaging studies.
Java 2 by example
Geoff Friesen
Java by Example presumes no previous experience with either Java or programming in general. You will learn Java-specific programming concepts, object-oriented programming, and proper coding techniques. Topics include Java Foundation Classes (JFC), Abstract Windowing Toolkit, Applets vs Applications, and Multi-Threading. At the end of the book, you build a useful contact manager, applying concepts learned throughout the book.
