Overview: The mature vertebrate retina is a highly complicated array of several kinds of cells, capable of receiving light impulses, transforming them into neuronal membrane currents, and transmitting these in a meaningful way to central processing. Before it starts to develop, it is a small sheet of unconspicuous cells, which do not differ from other cells of the central nervous system. The chain of events which lead to the trans­ formation from this stage into that of highly specialized cells ready to fulfll a specific task, is usually called "differentiation. " Originally, this word indicat

As an intermediate step, a proof of the

Overview: Sir Geoffrey Vickers This book is described as a contribution ‘towards a social ecology‘. As such it is timely and welcome. The phrase is not yet familiar, the concept still imprecise; we need urgently to move toward a better understanding of it. The word ‘ecology‘ began to become familiar outside scientific circles when human intervention in natural processes began to have effects so unforeseen, so dramatic and so disastrous as to make headline news. It might be infestation by an unfamiliar pest, like the rabbit in Australia; or soil erosion, from ill-controlled clearing and croppin

However, most accounts focus on technical challenges, such as implementing impact assessments. In contrast, and focusing on the European Union, this boo

Overview: Explores the basic concept of "catalysis"—in philosophy, chemistry, and recent beginnings in psychology.Emphasizes the use of catalysis as a concept in a semiotic cultural psychology.Synthesizes the cHow do we understand and explain phenomena in psychology? What does the concept of “causality” mean when we discuss higher psychological functions and behavior? Is it possible to generate “laws” in a psychological and behavioral science—laws that go beyond statistical regularities, frequencies, and probabilities? An international group of authors compare and contrast the use of a causal
