Edvard Ravnikar

Ravnikar, 1907–1993, is considered the central figure in Slovenia’s post-WWII architecture. He was Jože Plecnik’s most famous student. Plecnik studied under Otto Wagner.
Ravnikar worked for Le Corbusier in Paris as of 1939 after completing his studies in 1935. His thorough planning reflects Plecnik’s poetic architecture, while his formal work was in line with Le Corbusier’s vision of urban planning and modern architecture.
Ravnikar was his own man artistically, and wasn’t only successful as an architect. How work also made him an important personage in the development of the architecture department. He was a critic and essayist for the Slovenian and international media. All of this influenced generations of Slovenian architects and explains why Ravnikar can be felt in almost all major Slovenian buildings and monuments.
SELLING POINTS:

• First internationally available monograph on the work of Edvard Ravnikar
• Featuring a construction documentation and engaging contributions
• With contributions by Achleitner, Kurrent, Podrecca, Semerani, Curtis and Vodopivec

Since the conception of this acclaimed series of volumes examining neural tissue culture, the expansion of neuroscience has continued to produce vital discoveries that utilize tissue culture methodologies. The expert contributors to the fourth edition of Protocols for Neural Cell Culture refine existing protocols and present the emerging new techniques and culture media formulations linked with the many advances in neuroscience. While highlighting updated experimental procedures for many of the classical neural tissue culture preps, the volume addresses topics such as regenerative medicine and the methods to grow and expand embryonic and adult neural stem cells. Essential techniques for the isolation, expansion, and cryopreservation of neural tissue from mouse, rat, and human sources are covered, as well as methods to assess aspects of cell function (calcium imaging) and cell death. With its detailed, step-by-step laboratory protocols, this volume provides the kind of detailed description and implementation advice that is crucial for getting optimal results.
Authoritative and cutting-edge, Protocols for Neural Cell Culture, Fourth Edition continues the previous editions’ tradition of exceptional quality and thorough coverage in tissue culture protocols for today’s neuroscience in order to inspire researchers in the field to further explore this imperative area of study.
SELLING POINTS:

• Includes detailed protocols involving embryonic and adult stem cells, neuronal and glial preps, human and rodent cells, cellular assays, precursor cell expansion

Mammalian Brain Development focuses on both the pre-natal and the peri-natal events that lead to brain damage as seen in the prospective of medical and research professionals, as well as examining the traditional "nature versus nurture" argument in the spectrum of brain development. The major topics addressed, in detail, in the book are sexual dimorphism, epigenetic action of gonadal hormones, environmental "programming" effects, autism, developmental learning disorders, seizures, and the etiopathogenesis of epileptic syndromes in young humans. The book also covers the general aspects of postnatal and pediatric neurological disorders in a unique and novel way by offering definitions of heredity, inheritance, genetic-epigentic, genomic, molecular, developmental, and innate aspects of the mammalian brain in regards to its development.
SELLING POINTS:

• Fills a gap in developmental books dealing with the normal prenatal mammalian brain

In organizing this handbook, Dr. Neoptolemos and his co-editors will produce a distinguished Major Reference Work devoted to pancreatic cancer. This handbook will have widespread appeal among clinicians, pathologists and basic scientists who are now struggling to understand this complex and rapidly expanding field.
Because of the recent and vast growth in both the clinical and scientific research being done in pancreatic cancer (there is currently an unprecedented investment by academia and industry in this field), each researcher’s knowledge of other specialty areas outside his or her own is now often quite limited. The aim of this book is to place these the tangible advances—those that are indispensable to all working on pancreatic cancer—readily at hand. The book will focus on advances that will not become dated, and the editors will choose authors who are the very best in each area.

The modern Earth system approach requires a comprehensive integration of existing databases, with the capacity to expand to allow for storage and exchange of new data collected during the growth of the program. Unification and coupling of existing modeling techniques is needed to achieve full integration of what are currently discipline-oriented approaches and to expand fully 'next generation' 3D applications. Consequently, major investments in Information Technology are called for so as to expand existing computer hardware and software facilities. These are subdivided into four major themes. Significant added value will also be realized by developing a Centre for integrated Solid Earth interpretation, validation and modeling as the 'backbone' of Coupled Deep Earth and Surface Processes. Such a development will bring together a hitherto nonexistent set of integrated hardware and software, dedicated to a 'streamlined' and consistent analysis of large 3D data sets.
SELLING POINTS:

• Helps reader better understand mass transfer at Earth's surface, and its feedback with deep Earth recycling
• Explains how our improved understanding of Earth processes can lead to better prediction
