Hur livet på en liten gård i Spekeröd har förändrats under det senaste århundradet är det centrala temat i den här boken. Författarens farföräldrar fick 15 barn på den lilla gården i Gössby. P.g.a. fattigdom fick hälften av dem utvandra till USA för att få ett bättre liv. Alla förde med sig den Bohuslänska andan med idogt arbete och extrem sparsamhet som främsta kännetecken. Bokens första del rör storfamiljens överlevnadskonst och vad som hände med alla barnen. Del 2 belyser jordbrukets förändring under 1900-talet då författarens far brukade gården. Det sista avsnittet handlar om de erfarenheter som författaren själv fick i Spekeröd under uppväxten. Boken beskriver på ett ingående sätt hur befolkningens sammansättning och livsvillkoren förändrades i Spekeröd under tre generationer fram till modern tid. Den illustrerar också hur en storfamilj kan överleva på ett litet jordbruk även under mycket svåra betingelser. Beslutsamhet, gemensamma mål, sammanhållning, respekt för varandra och kärlek är härvidlag mycket betydelsefullt.

During the last decades, research on spinal cord has attracted a great deal of attention because of problems such as sensory-motor and autonomic dysfunctions associated with traumatic and other injuries. Recording of spinal cord evoked potentials is one of the most promising approaches to understand the spinal cord function. However, the details of the evoked potentials and their significance in various pathological conditions are not yet fully characterized. This book summarizes new findings in the field of electrophysiology and relates this knowledge to pathology and regeneration research. It is the first one which deals in great detail with various ways to monitor spinal cord function in experimental and clinical situations. It provides an up-to-date knowledge regarding spinal cord bioelectrical activity and its modification with pharmacological agents and covers new aspects of regeneration studies, particularly the role of myelin associated inhibitory molecules. A section is devoted to clinical studies dealing with electrical activity, pathology, and current therapeutic measures.This volume will be useful both to basic and clinical neuroscientists engaged in the field of neurology, neurophysiology, neurochemistry, neurosurgery, neuropathology, and related disciplines in order to understand basic functions of the spinal cord and to stimulate further research in this rapidly advancing field.
