A plague is devasting mankind. Deep within the Amazon jungle, scientists have altered the genetic makeup of macaque monkeys, making them self-aware and giving them the power of speech. Only by working together can the two races--man and monkey--find some common road to a future earth.

This book is a detailed study of monkey parks in Japan. It describes how the parks manage free-ranging macaque troops for touristic display and examines the various problems that arise, as well as proposals for park reform.

Understanding the essence of the tumor process and the mechanisms of carcinogenesis is one of the main tasks of modern oncology. Experimental studies play a leading role in the solution of these problems. Investigations into the possibilities of experimental induction of tumors in monkeys and examining the causes of their development are of great theoretical significance in oncoprimatology for comparative studies of human tumors. However, information on spontaneous and induced tumors is scarce and is scattered among numerous journals in different fields of study. This book features data from the literature, in addition to the author's own findings over the course of 30 years in the field of oncoprimatology. Spontaneous tumors of different localizations; tumors induced by organotropic carcinogens in the esophagus, stomach, and intestines; tumors of the kidneys after administration of dimethyl hydrazine; and tumors of the peripheral nervous system after administration of the neutropic carcinogen methyl nitrosourea are among the primary topics covered in this important volume.

Durer's Devices: Beyond the Projective Model of Pictures is a collection of papers that discusses the nature of picture making and perception. One paper presents a perceptual theory of pictorial representation in which cultural and historical options in styles of depiction that appear to be different are actually closely related perceptually. Another paper discusses pictorial functions and perceptual structures including pictorial representation, perceptual theory, flat canvass, and the deep world. One paper suggests that perception can be more a matter of information "make up" than "pick up." Light becomes somewhat informative and the eye, correspondingly, becomes less or more presumptive. Another paper notes that human vision is transformed by our modes of representation, that image formation can be essentially incomplete, false, or misleading (primarily as regards dramatic performance and pictorial representation). One paper makes three claims that: (1) the blind have untapped depiction abilities; (2) haptics, involving the sense of touch, have an intuitive sense of perspective; and (3) depiction is perceptual based on graphic elements and pictorial configurations. The collection is suitable for psychologists, physiologists, psychophysicists, and researchers in human perception or phenomenology.
