Overview: Includes supplementary material: The heart of philosophy is metaphysics, and at the heart of the heart lie two questions about existence. What is it for any contingent thing to exist? Why does any contingent thing exist? Call these the nature question and the ground question, respectively. The first concerns the nature of the existence of the contingent existent; the second concerns the ground of the contingent existent. Both questions are ancient, and yet perennial in their appeal; both have presided over the burial of so many of their would-be undertakers that it is a good inductio

Overview: Offer important and imaginative spatial readings of influential American science fiction television shows.Examine and theorize “space” in an increasingly “space-conscious” age--one dominated by the spThis collection reads the science fiction genre and television medium as examples of heterotopia (and television as science fiction technology), in which forms, processes, and productions of space and time collide – a multiplicity of spaces produced and (re)configured.  The book looks to be a heterotopic production, with different chapters and “spaces” (of genre, production, mediums, tec

Overview: Carefully edited book from one of the most influential conferences in robotics.This book includes selected contributions to the Workshop WAFR 2002 being held at December 15-17, 2002 in Nice, France. This fifth biannual Workshop on Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics focuses on algorithmic issues related to robotics and automation.

Overview: For more than three decades the methods for assessing cell pro­ liferation have been largely the preserve of experimental biologists, and in their hands such techniques have contributed greatly to our understanding of the dynamic organisation of normal and patho­ logical tissues. In recent years, with the advent of novel method­ ologies, there has been increased interest among both pathologists and clinicians, particularly oncologists and others interested in neoplasia, in assessing cell proliferation. This interest has been stimulated by the possibility that indices of cell prolifer
