Neuroethics: Challenges for the 21st Century

Cambridge University Press, 2007

In the late 1960s, a new field of philosophical and moral enquiry came into existence.

It developed very rapidly for many reasons, but no doubt the main...

Microbiology in Action (Studies in Biology)

Cambridge University Press, 1999

Baroclinic Tides: Theoretical Modeling and Observational Evidence

Cambridge University Press, 2005

This book was first published in 2005. When an oceanic tidal wave that is primarily active on the water surface passes an ocean shelf or a region with a seamount, it is split into a less energetic surface wave and other internal modes with different wavelengths and propagation speeds. This cascading process, from the barotropic tides to the...

Back in 2008, the actual planwas to...
