Stem Cell Biology in Neoplasms of the Central Nervous System
A volume like this is beyond the scope of one person/editor’s effort. There are countless hours spent contacting authors, reviewing submissions, and cross- checking references and publication permissions—tedious work that can be draining but remains essential for a project like this to succeed. This project would have failed miserably if it were not for the tireless effort and dedication …

The Vertebrate Integument Volume 2 Structure, Design and Function
The emphasis in this volume is on the structure and functional design of the integument. The book starts with a brief introduction to some basic principles of physics (mechanics) including Newton’s Three Laws of Motion. These principles are subsequently used to interpret the problems animals encounter in motion. It is in only the last 40 or so years that we have begun to understand how imp…

The Twin Sister Planets Venus and Earth Why are they so different?
This book explains how it came to be that Venus and Earth, while very similar in chemical composition, zonation, size and heliocentric distance from the Sun, are very different in surface environmental conditions. It is argued here that these differences can be accounted for by planetoid capture processes and the subsequent evolution of the planet-satellite system. Venus captured a one-half moo…
