He has contributed to CG&A for many years, most signi cantly as the editor of two departments, Visualization Blackboard and Projects in VR. Both have been regular and prominent features of CG&A. Projects in VR covered both applications and theory relevant to virtual reality. Larry is the Pro...

Eliza Haywood produced innovative, socially meritorious, and entertaining literature throughout her career. In particular, her novels often told stories about people who did not always make socially or morally correct choices; their missteps made them interesting and provided the basis for stories that examined what happened when people defied the status quo. Alexander Pettit observes that " [i...

The global sustainable bioenergy (GSB) project was formed in 2009 with the goal of providing guidance with respect to the feasibility and desirability of sustainable, bioenergy-intensive futures. Stage 1 of this project held conventions with a largely common format on each of the world's continents, was completed in 2010, and is described in this paper. Attended by over 400 persons, the five co...

This symposium on mechanisms in the development of early atheroma was held at the Ciba Foundation in London, July 5-6, 1972.

Apparently without benefit of a predecessory symposium, the editor of this collection of monographs has selected several topics as representative of areas from which many of the future advances in the treatment of neoplastic disease will come forth. His choices are uniformly praiseworthy and meritorious. In each of the chapters, which cover such diversified approaches as interferons, monoclonal...

medicine more meritorious, but may account for some otherwise surprising lapses. For example he sees Erasistratos as a stepping stone in a harmonious tradition from Hippocrates to Galen, not as the founder of a theory that Galen constantly attacked. This is a view that could hardly be taken by anyone who had read much Galen for himself. Another stumbling point is the theory of vision. He has st...
