Introduced in the 1950s, the VW bus was designed to be multifunctional. Since then, it has come to symbolize fun, freedom, and adventure. VW bus owners fully incorporate their vehicles into their lives: Some treat them as an extension of their home, while others undertake epic journeys in them, across desert and sea, and through Europe, Asia, and Africa. Some strap surfboards to the roof and head for the nearest beach, while others soup up the engines and take them drag racing in California. All will spend hours restoring and customizing them and even more time talking about th

From Huckleberry Finn to Harry Potter, from Internet filters to the v-chip, censorship exercised on behalf of children and adolescents is often based on the assumption that they must be protected from "indecent" information that might harm their development - whether in art, in literature, or on a Web site. But where does this assumption come from, and is it true?In "Not in Front of the Children", Marjorie Heins explores the fascinating history of "indecency" laws and other restrictions aimed at protecting youth. From Plato’s argument for rigid censorship, through Victorian laws aimed at

An in-depth exploration of dualist-interactionism, a concept Sir John Eccles developed with Sir Karl Popper in "The Self and its Brain", in the context of a wide variety of brain activities relating to self-consciousness. Opening with a critical discussion of material hypotheses on the relationship of mind and brain, it aims to demonstrate the explanatory power of dualist-interactionism in contrast to the poverty and inadequacy of materialist theories of the mind. The "mind" is accepted as an entity of divine origin which interacts with and controls the material brain. Sir John shows that dual

Pragmatic Circuits: DC and Time Domain deals primarily with circuits and how they function, beginning with a review of Kirchhoff’s and Ohm’s Laws analysis of d-c circuits and op-amps, and the sinusoidal steady state. The author then looks at formal circuit analysis through nodal and mesh equations. Useful theorems like Thevenin are added to the circuits toolbox. This first of three volumes ends with a chapter on design. The two follow-up volumes in the Pragmatic Circuits series include titles on Frequency Domain and Signals and Filters. These short lecture books will be of use t
