No other book on natural rubber covers such a broad spectrum of subjects as this unique publication. Subjects related to the biology, cultivation and technology of natural rubber are dealt with, along with such important aspects as its history, production and processing, through to its sophisticated engineering applications. Every chapter follows a monograph style of presentation, with comprehensive citations and depth of treatment. Contributions from highly experienced, and still active, renowned scientists reflect the truly international effort to the development of this commodity. In addition to the wealth of information presented, most of the chapters contain elaborate lists of earlier contributions in the respective fields; one chapter each has been included on rubber wood, ancillary products and guayule.

This book constitutes a compilation and integration of the latest advances in the management of cluster headaches. It encompasses the work of nine experts in the field of headache in the U.S. and presents a thorough and comprehensive view of the subject. Most of the participants at the symposium have spent years studying cluster headache and its variants. They present a variety of conceptions in a comprehensive manner. It is believed that the generalist, neurolo­ gist, or other medical specialist involved in the treatment of this difficult syndrome will derive diagnostic and therapeutic insight into its management. The patients seeking help and understanding of their condition will be the ultimate beneficiaries of its information. SEYMOUR DIAMOND, M.D. March, 1984 Preface The past decade has witnessed a surge of interest in the field of headache and related disorders. Even though the pathophysiology and pathogenesis of primary headache disorders are still poorly un­ derstood, recent clinical and therapeutic observations have greatly contributed to improvement of patient care in the headache field. Headache clinics specializing in the diagnosis and comprehensive management of headaches, now available in most major cities, have also helped in the progress of patient care and research.
