Although contemporary neuroscience is undoubtedly embedded within a paradigm of localization, the theory was highly contested up until the introduction of the PET scan in the early 1980s.

This paper is a preliminary attempt to understand the role of science in John Rawls’s theory of public justification.

 Guide to the Research Collections   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The collecting policy is comprehensive for general and national bibliographies, and representative or selective for booksellers' catalogs, auction catalogs, and catalogs of university and college libraries.
Most of the general bibliographical works in the Research Libraries are housed in the general collections, but important holdings can be found in the Rare Book, Economic and Public Affairs, and General Research and Humanities Divisions, and in the Preparation Services.
There are generally full representations of works in foreign languages, such as the German "Brockhaus" and "Meyers," and the French "Larousse." The general collections also include the concise compendium or "fact book"; the nineteenth-century representations of this type of reference work are particularly interesting.
