The Biophysical Approach to Excitable Systems A Volume in Honor of Kenneth S. Cole on His 80th Birthday

The Biophysical Approach to Excitable Systems A Volume in Honor of Kenneth S. Cole on His 80th Birthday / by William J. Adelman, David E. Goldman.

On July 10, 1980, Kenneth S. Cole became 80 years old. In order to celebrate this landmark, a symposium in the form of a series of Monday evening lectures was held in his honor at the Marine Biological Labora­ tory throughout the summer of 1980. The selection of speakers was made from among those in...
