Overview: Ouvrage multidisciplinaire qui aborde la problématique de l’incontinence urinaire masculine dans sa globalité.Écrit par un prestigieux panel d’experts francophones.Une description complète, détaillée L’incontinence urinaire est un problème de société puisqu’elle touche de 20 à 30 % de la population à des degrés divers et en fonction de l’âge. Or, à notre connaissance, aucun livre n’a été publié récemment, nien anglais ni en français, entièrement consacré aux «Incontinences urinaires de l’homme ». L’objectif de cet ouvrage est donc de fournir une vue d’ensemble de cette pathologie. Ap

Overview: Linking several questions in Mathematics, such as linearization and approximation, non-associativity, exponentiation and differentiation, Lie theory plays a major part in many branches of Mathematics,.This book collects a series of contributions addressing the various contexts in which the theory of Lie groups is applied. A preliminary chapter serves the reader both as a basic reference source and as an ongoing thread that runs through the subsequent chapters. From representation theory and Gerstenhaber algebras to control theory, from differential equations to Finsler geometry and L

Overview: The motivations, goals and general culture of theoretical physics and mathematics are different. Most practitioners of either discipline have no necessity for most of the time to keep abreast of the latest developments in the other. However on occasion newly developed mathematical concepts become relevant in theoretical physics and the less rigorous theoretical physics framework may prove valuable in understanding and suggesting new theorems and approaches in pure mathematics. Such interdis­ ciplinary successes invariably cause much rejoicing, as over a prodigal son returned. In rece

Overview: Covering the period following the author’s previous volume, Communal Labor in Colonial Kenya: The Legitimization of Coercion, 1912-1930, this study explores the role of forced labor in rural Kenya thrThis book advances research into the government-forced labor used widely in colonial Kenya from 1930 to 1963 after the passage of the International Labor Organization’s Forced Labour Convention. While the 1930 Convention intended to mark the suppression of forced labor practices, various exemptions meant that many coercive labor practices continued in colonial territories. Focusing on Ea

Overview: Is innovative in its systematic view on teaching of mathematics as a source for teachers’ own learning.Contains interesting and challenging mathematical examples that teachers learned when they taughtThe idea of teachers Learning through Teaching (LTT) – when presented to a naïve bystander – appears as an oxymoron. Are we not supposed to learn before we teach? After all, under the usual circumstances, learning is the task for those who are being taught, not of those who teach. However, this book is about the learning of teachers, not the learning of students. It is an ancient wisdom

Overview: Provides a new perspective on the impact of the Baroque in Latin American culture by putting baroque literature in conversation with other kinds of art, especially painting.Sheds new light on the gene.Pablo. .Baler studies the ruptures and continuities linking the de-centered dynamics of the 17.th.century to the logic of instability that permeates 20.th. century visual and literary production in Latin America. Bringing philosophy, literary interpretation, art criticism, and a poetic approach to the history of ideas, Baler offers a new perspective from which to understand the uncanny

Overview: In these essays the reigning models of liberal political theory of John Rawls and Joseph Raz are immanently criticized. Neal argues that neither ‘political‘ nor ‘perfectionist‘ liberalism adequately gives expression to the liberal spirit. Surprisingly, Neal finds resources for the expression of such a spirit in the much maligned tradition of Hobbesian, or ‘vulgar‘, liberalism. He argues that a turn in this direction is necessary for the articulation of a liberalism more genuinely responsive to the diversity of modes of life in the twenty-first century.978-1-349-14364-1978-1-349-14362

Overview: Provides an overview of current interpretations of the right to legal capacity.Discusses theories of personhood from critical feminist, disability, and queer theory.Includes a chapter on good practice.This book explores the role of gender in the recognition of an individual’s legal capacity. It discusses the meaning of the right to legal capacity and its two core elements – legal personhood and legal agency. It then analyses historical and modern denials of personhood and agency experienced by women, disabled women, and gender minorities – for example, prohibitions from voting, limit

Overview: This book takes as its theme the ways in which governments legitimate their rule, both to themselves and to their subjects.

Overview: Why are most British lone mothers unemployed? And is ‘welfare to work‘ the right sort of policy response? This book provides an in-depth analysis of how lone mothers negotiate the relationship between motherhood and paid work. Combining qualitative and quantitative data, it focuses on social capital in different neighbourhoods, local labour markets and welfare states. Criticising conventional economic theories of decision-making, it posits an alternative concept of ‘gendered moral rationality‘, and sets up new frameworks for understanding national policy differences and discourses ab
