Overview: Includes supplementary material: I first became interested in the relationship between Locke‘s anti­ essentialism and his theory of identity in a first-year graduate course on metaphysics taught at Syracuse University by Jose Benardete. I had until then approached Locke as a "safe", commonsense philosopher, whose metaphysical agenda-constrained as it was by his concept empiricism­ was largely geared towards upholding a scientifically enlightened, broadly Christian worldview. I am greatly indebted to Professor Benardete for disabusing me of this understanding of Locke‘s work. Benardet

Overview: This book explores the everyday lives of ‘lesbian‘ women in urban Russia. It explores changes and continuities by examining generational differences, and attends to regional variation by considering what ‘lesbian‘ life looks like in different locations, problematising essentialist accounts of Russian sexualities and western-centric theorizations.978-1-349-67266-0978-1-137-32124-4Series ISSN 2947-8782 Series E-ISSN 2947-8790

Overview: Continuing the (neo-)classical tradition of von Thünen, Launhardt, Weber, Palander, and Lösch this book offers a fresh approach to the location of industries and other economic activities, of market areas, spatial price distribution, locational specialization, urban and transportation systems, and spatial interaction in general. It uses elementary economic reasoning supported by simple mathematical models, some classical, some new. The mathematical methods are presented in numbered Mathematical Notes. The author has been active in this field since 1950.978-3-642-08501-7978-3-662-0376

Overview: The study of parasitic gap constructions (e. g. these are the reports; which you corrected _; before filing _i) has been a very lively area of research over the last decade. The impetus behind this lies mostly in the margi­ nality of the construction. Clearly, the intuitions that native speakers have about parasitic gaps do not stem from direct instruction; hence, it is reasoned, such knowledge follows from the restrictions imposed by Universal Grammar. Furthermore, it is unlikely that any principle of Universal Grammar refers specifically to parasitic gap constructions; their syntac

Overview: Einblick in die historische Entwicklung des Atomprojekts.Die oft dramatische Dimension der Atomrüstung im Kalten Krieg ist untererzählt.Argumente für die notwendige politische Diskussion über die ZukuDieses Buch handelt von den Atombomben in Deutschland, denn kein Land war so sehr als atomares Schlachtfeld vorgesehen, keines so vollgestopft mit nuklearen Sprengköpfen wie das geteilte Deutschland im Kalten Krieg. Und der Albtraum ist nicht vorbei: noch immer lagern in der Eifel Atombomben, noch immer wird erwartet, dass deutsche Soldaten sie im Kriegsfall mit ihren Tornado-Jagdbombern

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind.

Overview: Employing a discourse analytical approach this book focuses on the under-researched strategy of humour to illustrate how discursive performances of leadership are influenced by gender and workplace culture.

Overview: The book focuses on leukocyte integrins, in particular, on receptors of the alpha4 subfamily.Most lymphocytes recirculate throughout the body, migrating from blood through organized lymphoid tissues such as lymph nodes (LN) and Peyer‘s patches (PP), then to lymph and back to blood (GOWANS and KNIGHT 1964). Smaller numbers of lymphocytes migrate from blood to extranodal tissues such as pancreas and then through lymphatic vessels to LN (MACKAY et al. 1990). An important feature of this migration is the ability of lymphocytes to recognize and adhere to the surface of blood vessel endoth
