Overview: Alison Oddey‘s interviews with prominent performing women span generations, cultures, perspectives, practice and the best part of the twentieth century, telling various stories collectively. Stand-ups, ‘classic‘ actresses, film and television personalities, experimental and ‘alternative‘ practitioners discuss why they want to perform, what motivates them, and how their personal history has contributed to their desires to perform. Oddey‘s critical introductory and concluding chapters analyse both historical and cultural contexts and explore themes arising from interviews. These includ

Overview: Aimed at researchers, graduate students, and practitioners in fields from medicine to the social sciences.Outlines the connections between personality and various brain disorders.Presents some applica.Brain disorders (neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative, and affective disorders) can be investigated, treated, and prevented using person-centered methods. Because researchers have not reached a clear consensus on whether or not personality is stable or changeable, it has been difficult to outline how to use these methods in the care of people with brain disorders. Thus, the first part

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Among the vast literature on contemporary reproductivetechnologies, .Prosthetic Bodies. stands out in its effectivecombination of insights, methods, and theories from the history ofmedicine, constructivist science and technology studies, and feministtheory. The double focus on IVF and related techniques, and fetaltreatment and surgery, enables the identification of debatabletendencies within today‘s reproductive medicine: the translation ofever more medical problems basically unrelated to women‘s ownreproductive health - and, in the case of fetal diag

Overview: Includes supplementary material: This volume was created initially from a symposium of the same name presented at the International Primatological Society‘s XVIII Congress in Adelaide. South Australia. 6-12 January 2000. Many of the authors who have contributed to this text could not attend the symposium. so this has become another vehicle for the rapidly growing discipline of Fragmentation Science among primatologists. Fragmentation has quickly become a field separate from general ecology. which underscores the severity of the situation since we as a planet are rapidly losing habita

Overview: Half of the chapters have been completely rewritten with new chapters addressing the involvement of granites..New research results included.Large number of quantitative phase diagrams linking mineral Metamorphic rocks make up the largest volume of the Earth. They systematically change their mineralogical composition as a result of tecto-thermal events. The outstanding feature of the 7th edition of this book is the large number of phase diagrams showing the stability relations among minerals and groups of minerals found in metamorphic rocks. The diagrams help to determine the pressure

Overview: Why do some companies succeed better than others? It is well known that there are many variables such which may impact a company‘s performance. The authors present their new model for Market Proactiveness which shows organizations how to anticipate change and respond to it before they are forced to do so, and improve their overall performance.978-1-349-33090-4978-0-230-36301-4Series ISSN 2947-874X Series E-ISSN 2947-8758

Post-truth is contextualised within the philosophical discourse of truth, with particular reference to theories of scepticism and relativism, to explore whether it can take advantage of these to claim any intellectual credibility.

Overview: Landscapes of the past have always held an inherent fascination for ge­ ologists because, like terrestrial sediments, they formed in our environment, not offshore on the sea floor and not deep in the subsurface. So, a walk across an ancient karst surface is truly a step back in time on a surface formed open to the air, long before humans populated the globe. Ancient karst, with its associated subterranean features, is also of great scientific interest because it not only records past exposure of parts of the earth‘s crust, but preserves information about ancient climate and the movem

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Tobias J. Knoblich gibt erstmals einen umfassenden diskurskritischen Überblick über die Soziokultur als Schlüsselbegriff der Neuen Kulturpolitik, welche die Debatten der letzten Jahrzehnte prägte und zugleich für einen neuen Typus kultureller Institutionen steht.

Damit legt er zugleich eine Kulturpolitikgeschichte vor, die die Persp

Overview: In gauge theories, quantization can only be performed in certain fixed gauges, but physical gauges often lead to mathematical complications in the theory. In this volume recent results in noncovariant gauge fixing (including supersymmetry) and renormalizability are thoroughly discussed. It is the first comprehensive presentation of this subject written by leading experts in the field.978-3-662-13799-4978-3-540-47156-1Series ISSN 0075-8450 Series E-ISSN 1616-6361
