Book Description
This book contains original articles submitted to the Seventh International Conference on Cognitive Neurodynamics (ICCN 2019). The brain is an endless case study of a complex system characterized by multiple levels of integration, multiple time scales of activity, and multiple coding and decoding properties. The contribution of several disciplines, mathematics, physics, computer science, neurobiology, pharmacology, physiology, and behavioral and clinical sciences, is necessary in order to cope with such seemingly unattainable complexity that transforms the experimental information into a tricky puzzle which hides the correspondence with model predictions. This conference gathered active participants to discuss ideas and pose new questions from different viewpoints, ranging from single neurons and neural networks to animal/human behavior in theoretical and experimental studies. The conference is organized with plenary lectures, mini-symposia, interdisciplinary round tables, and oral and poster sessions.

Book Description
Like humans, monkeys are primates and are often lively, engaging, and entertaining creatures. In their faces, we may often see some reflection of our own face. But the male proboscis monkey has a face that sets it apart. It's distinguished by its long, fleshy, pendulous nose. Readers of this fascinating volume will learn intriguing facts about these odd-looking animals, who are excellent swimmers with webbed fingers and toes. Age-appropriate text highlights important elementary science concepts, while vivid images, fact boxes, and a graphic organizer support the narrative.

Book Description
Since the appearance of the second edition of Sydney A. Asdell's widely used Patterns of Mammalian Reproduction in 1964, the field of reproductive physiology has expanded dramatically. Accordingly, this revision adopts a different structure from previous editions, substituting empirical delineations for physiological interpretations. With the emphases now on a presentation of the published facts of mammalian reproduction, it provides a thorough compilation of what is known about the basic reproductive biology of each of the 4300 mammalian species.To gather information, the authors examined more than 20,000 publications, dating up to 1992. They used primary sources as much as possible, supplementing them with English translations of Russian, Finnish, Chinese, and Japanese journals. The data are presented in taxonomic order. Each familial account summarizes the pattern of reproduction for the family and provides lists of citations arranged by topic of the literature on the endocrinology, reproductive anatomy, and reproductive physiology of the family. Following each account is a tabular listing of species-specific data for neonatal mass and size, weaning mass and size, litter size, age at sexual maturity, estrous cycle length, gestation length, lactation length, number of litters per year, and seasonality of reproduction. For each of these reproductive variables, the range of data gleaned from the literature is given, together with the source of each value listed.Virginia Hayssen is Assistant Professor of Biology at Smith College. Ari Van Tienhoven is Professor of Animal Physiology, Emeritus, at Cornell University. Ans Van Tienhoven assisted in the compilation of data for the book.

Book Description
IT'S AMAZING WHAT A DEAD WOMAN CAN DO IN JUST 8 MINUTES! "Smart, funny, and profoundly spiritual-a deeply moving experience that skeptics and believers alike can embrace. I loved it!" - Howard Rosenberg, Pulitzer Prize winning former Los Angeles Times columnist and author. If you think a conversation with God couldn't possibly be FUNNY, you're in for a very BIG surprise! Brooke Jones, Breast Cancer Warrior, Political Satirist, and former star of San Francisco and Los Angeles radio died...but her death was short-lived. 8 minutes passed here on Earth while she was busy being dead, but she wasn't on Earth - she was at Heaven's Front Door, having a Question and Answer Session with God! "What is the meaning of life?" "What religion is God?" "Is God male or female?" Brooke asked every question she could think of, and God provided the answers. The first thing she learned was that God has a sense of humor! (Well of course God has a sense of humor - have you ever seen a Platypus?) Was she returned to the Land Of The Living because of the startling final question she asked? Did all that she experienced really happen, or was it just the hallucination of a dying brain? She didn't know, until...she was given proof - absolute proof - proof she could not possibly deny! 'Why Are There Monkeys? (and other questions for God)" is the absolutely TRUE, INSPIRATIONAL, laugh-out-loud FUNNY story of one woman's Near-Death Question and Answer Session with God. "By God, Brooke Jones is a hell of a writer!" - Ben Fong-Torres, former Editor of Rolling Stone Magazine. "Delightful, insightful, spiritual and startlingly funny! It left me, an atheist, more of a believer than I was before. I loved every minute of it!" - Ray Richmond, former columnist with The Hollywood Reporter, Daily Variety, Orange County Register, LA Herald Examiner.
