The Film Business: A History of British Cinema 1896-1972 (Routledge Revivals)
by Ernest BettsFirst published in 1973 The Film Business makes a factual survey of British films from their beginnings in 1896 to 1972. Ernest Betts offers character studies of men who have built the film industry and made it what it is. He examines the financial and political background and shows how, while intending to encourage film production, it has often had exactly the opposite effect and inhibited its free development. Betts also attacks the manner in which the American film industry has taken over the British film industry and points to the failure of successive governments to save it from repeated crises and losses. Through these fluctuations the author keeps a firm eye on the film itself and brings the judgement of film critics past and present to bear on British cinema, as it moves uncertainly and not without its triumphs into the 1970s. This is an interesting read for students and scholars of film studies, British film history and British cinema.

Finite Automata: Behavior and Synthesis
by A. de VriesThis dictionary supplies associations which have been evoked by certain words, signs, etc. in Western civilization in the past, and which may float to the surface again tomorrow; for however 'daringly new' a modern use of imagery may look, it generally appears to have roots in what has been said and done in the past. No fine distinctions have been made between symbols (in the limited sense), allegories, metaphors, signs, types, images, etc. (not to mention 'ascending' and 'descending' symbols), since such subtle distinctions, however sensible from a scientific point of view, are useless to a person struggling with the deeper comprehension (and thus appreciation) of a particular 'symbol'.
Fixation in Histochemistry

Everson Pearse Pearse The tide of of the Symposium, at at which the the papers which compromise this volume were presented, is ofthe utmost importance. It was not 'Fixation and Tissue Destruction' or 'Fixation 'Fixation and and Loss Loss ofTissue Components', Components', but but 'Fixation and and Tissue Tissue Preservation'. Historical Historical fixatives, fixatives, some some still still with with us us in the field oflight oflight microscopy microscopy after after over over 100 100 years, are are not not less less guilty guilty than than the the new new historical 'fixatives' of of ultrastructural ultrastructural practice practice some some ofwhich of which remove up up to to 60% 60% ofthe of the material material originally present in in the specimen and and convert the remainder into chemically inert products. There There must must be be few few histochemists histochemists who who do not not appreciate appreciate the great need need for for improve improve ments ments in in the the practice practice of of fixation, fixation, but but whence whence can can we we hopefully hopefully expect expect the arrival arrival of such such improvements? improvements ?

Fluorescence Techniques in Cell Biology
by Andreas A. Thaer Manfred Sernetz.For there to be progress in science, there must first be communication between experts of different disciplines. This is particularly true of modern biology which is becoming more and more of an interdisciplinary field. The present situation in cell biology clearly reflects this devel opment and demonstrates that the application of physical techniques was necessary before this field of biological research could be developed on an objective and quantitative basis. The utilization of optical phenomena as measuring parameters at the microscopic level has provided the basis for the development of quantitative cytochemistry. This rapidly growing extension of conventional cytochemistry and histochemistry is based on the visual oberservation of qualitative chemical criteria in correlation with the microscopically resolved structure of cells and tissues. Furthermore, the introduction into cytochemistry of such optical measuring techniques as ab sorption photometry, interferometry, and fluorometry, as well as the measurement of optical anisotropy, diffrac:tion and scattered light, has provided the methodological bridge for the ex change of knowledge between cell biology on the one hand and biochemistry, or molecular biology, on the other.
Foams (Applied Physics and Engineering #10)
by J.J. BikermanThe book Foams: Theory and Industrial Applications, written by the undersigned and three collaborators and published in 1953, is still the only monograph on liquid foam in the English language. Naturally the science of foams had advanced in the intervening years so that a practically new book had to be prepared to give justice to the present state of our know ledge. This monograph has only one author and does not deal with solid foams, fire-fighting foams, and flotation, on which information is available elsewhere. The other applications of foam and its fundamental properties are reviewed at length and, whenever possible, attempts are made to reach the truth through a maze of conflicting evidence.

Forschungsökonomie: Stand und Entwicklung (Veröffentlichung des Bundesministeriums für Wissenschaft und Forschung)
by Franz H. Haslinger Karlheinz Hietler Gerhard O. OroselDie Okonomie der Forschung ist eine sehr junge, vielfach noch auf Wahr scheinlichkeitsaussagen beruhende Wissenschaft. Die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit Entscheidungs-und Effizienz determinaten im Bereiche der F orschung und Entwicklung ist jedoch von zentraler Bedeutung fur die Forschungspolitik. Die kritische Dimension der Forschungsakonomie hat bisher erhebliche praktische Auswirkungen gezeitigt und die Entwicklung von der "naiven" Forschungspolitik zu der "pluralisti schen" Forschungspolitik, die die gesamte Komplexitat des sozialen und wirtscha/tlichen Innovationsprozesses zu erfassen versucht, wesentlich mit bedingt. Der zunehmende Einsatz affentlicher Mittel fur Forschung und Entwicklung findet seine Rechtfertigung nur im Beitrag der wissenschaftlichen Erkennt nisse zur Erreichung gesellschaftlicher, wirtschaftlicher, sozialer und kul tureller Ziele. Fur eine so verstandene Forschungspolitik ist die Okonomie der F orschung wesentliches wissenschaftliches Rustzeug. In diesem Sinne mage die vorliegende Studie als Beitrag und als Stimu lierung zur Weiterentwicklung dieser jungen Wissenschaft verstanden werden. Es verbleibt, den Autoren fur die unterzogene Muhe zu danken. Dr. Her t h a Fir n b erg Bundesminister fur Wissenschaft und F orschung 5 Vorbemerkung Zie! der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, einen knappen Dberblick tiber die wesentlichsten, in der Literatur ausgeftihrten Probleme zum Thema "Oko nomie der Forschung" zu geben und diesem eine moglichst ausfUhrliche Bibliographie zur Seite zu stellen. Dabei ist es leider unvermeidlich, dag die AuswahI der behande!ten ArtikeI und Probleme nicht frei von Willktir ist. Die Autoren haben sich bemtiht, alle TeiIgebiete des Themas, die in den Textbtichern tiber den Problemkreis behandelt sind,zumindest anzureigen und daruber hinaus den Kern der wichtigsten ArtikeI wiederzugeben.

Foundations of the Logical Theory of Scientific Knowledge (Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science #9)
by A.A. Zinov'evBoston Studies in the Philosophy of Science are devoted to symposia, con gresses, colloquia, monographs and collected papers on the philosophical foundations of the sciences. It is now our pleasure to include A. A. Zi nov'ev's treatise on complex logic among these volumes. Zinov'ev is one of the most creative of modern Soviet logicians, and at the same time an innovative worker on the methodological foundations of science. More over, Zinov'ev, although still a developing scholar, has exerted a sub stantial and stimulating influence upon his colleagues and students in Moscow and within other philosophical and logical circles of the Soviet Union. Hence it may be helpful, in bringing this present work to an English-reading audience, to review briefly some contemporary Soviet investigations into scientific methodology. During the 1950's, a vigorous new research program in logic was under taken, and the initial published work -characteristic of most Soviet pub lications in the logic and methodology of the sciences - was a collection of essays, Logical Investigations (Moscow, 1959). Among the authors, in addition to Zinov'ev himself, were the philosophers A. Kol'man and P. V. Tavanec, and the mathematicians and linguists, S. A. Janovskaja, A. S. Esenin-Vol'pin, S. K. Saumjan, G. N. Povarov.
