Dissociative Recombination of Molecular Ions with Electrons is a comprehensive collection of refereed papers describing the latest developments in dissociative recombination research. Dissociative attachment, in which an electron attaches to a neutral molecule, has many similarities to dissociative recombination.

In a clear exposition this inspirational book shows the in situ three-dimensional morphology of cerebellar neurons, intracortical circuits and synaptic connections that underpin the functioning of cerebellar neurons in networks.

This book brings together current research findings on the involvement of word-internal structure for the purpose of word reading (especially morphological structure). The central theme of reading complex words is approached from several angles, such that the chapters span a wide variety of topics where this issue is important.

Health experts independently state that the critical urban problems are preventable. This brings an added challenge to public health practitioners working in inner cities with predominately minority communities.
