Overview: Explores the enduring influence of the Black Death in historical memory.Unpicks exclusionary narratives of the Black Death relating to race and gender.Analyses both the historiography of the Black Dea.This book explores modern representations of the Black Death, a medieval pandemic. The concept of cultural memory is used to examine the ways in which journalists, writers of fiction, scholars and others referred to, described and explained the Black Death from around 1800 onwards. The distant medieval past was often used to make sense of aspects of the present, from the cholera pandemi

Overview: In diesem Lehrbuch wird am metallischen Werkstoff gezeigt, wie Struktur und Gefüge mit den Festkörperreaktionen unter verschiedenartigen äußeren Beanspruchungen und damit den Eigenschaften des Werkstoffs in Beziehung stehen. Die Werkstoffeigenschaften werden auf der Basis einer mehr mechanistischen Betrachtungsweise des Maschinenbauers abgeleitet. Der Werkstoff wird als Bestandteil des Maschinenelements aufgefaßt, der seinerseits aus Strukturelementen besteht, die unter äußeren Einwirkungen bestimmte Funktionen zu erfüllen haben. Bisher vorhandene metallkundliche Darstellungen lassen

Overview: No one can ever have secure knowledge about the gods and creatures, and should anyone hit by chance upon the right thing, he will not know it for sure; that is why everything that we believe to be true is "opinion". XENOPHANES around 500 B.C. (According to ROD 1988, p.85) The goal of phylogenetic systematics (cladistics) is to discover the kinship relations between all organisms on earth and to translate the order we perceive in Nature into an equivalent man-made system. Although the goal is easily formulated, the path is thorny, and the results achieved continue to be imperfect. Thi

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Morphometrics is concerned with the study of variations and change in the form (size and shape) of organisms or objects adding a quantitative element to descriptions and thereby facilitating the comparison of different objects and organisms. This volume provides an introduction to morphometrics in a clear and simple way without recourse to complex mathematics and statistics. This introduction is followed by a series of case studies describing the variety of applications of morphometrics from paleontology and evolutionary ecology to archaeological art

Overview: The book focuses on the role of reliability as a quantitative requirement in the design of mechanical machines and components and their constituent parts. While the author makes full use of statistical reliability concepts, all the fundamental aspects are critically reviewed before being used. Additionally, the variation in key mechanical properties of materials is treated at length. The approach is to establish as accurate a physical model of the real situation as possible and to use this as the basis of a design methodology that uses statistical representation methods.
