Growing up in extreme poverty in the Philippines, author Ning Samson's hunger for knowledge earns her an opportunity to save her family from poverty when she is granted a Catholic missionary scholarship to attend primary school. Without this help, she cannot afford the education she hopes for, since school is not free in her native country.

Samson spends long hours studying, through years of personal sacrifice, determined to earn full scholarships to finance her schooling. She graduates summa cum laude from college at the age of eighteen with a bachelor of science degree in business...

This atlas is currently the most systematic and comprehensive atlas of the tree shrew brain. The purpose of this book is to help scientists acquire accurate coordinates of the brain regions of the tree shrew, which is becoming a popular animal model for a variety of human diseases. This atlas contains series of 192 coronal sections, 36 sagittal sections, and 49 horizontal sections using Nissl staining or acetylcholinesterase histochemistry as well as a series of diagrams in stereotaxic coordinates. Original photomicrographs are obtained at single-cell resolution. In addition, we also...

Nanophotonics has emerged as a major technology and applications domain, exploiting the interaction of light-emitting and light-sensing nanostructured materials. These devices are lightweight, highly efficient, low on power consumption, and are cost effective to produce. The authors of this book have been involved in pioneering work in manufacturing photonic devices from carbon nanotube (CNT) nanowires and provide a series of practical guidelines for their design and manufacture, using processes such as nano-robotic manipulation and assembly methods. They also introduce the design and...
