Overview: For many years Ruskin has seemed, at best, a conservative thinker on gender roles. At worst, his lecture On Queens‘ Gardens from Sesame and Lilies was read as a locus classicus of Victorian patriarchal oppression. These essays challenge such assumptions, presenting a wide-ranging revaluation of Ruskin‘s place in relation to gender, and offering new perspectives on continuing debates on issues of gender - in the Victorian period, and in our own.978-1-349-42890-8978-0-230-52248-0

Engaging with works by Ernie Gehr, John Akomfrah, Matt Saunders, David Lynch, Trevor Paglen, Zach Blas, and Low, the study considers the cultural, epistemological, and ethical values of images and sounds that are fuzzy, indeterminate, distorted, degraded, or otherwise indistinct. .Reth

Overview: The present volume is the first of a series of volumes dealing with organorhenium com­ pounds. lt covers the Literature completely up to the end of 1987. An empirical formula index and a Ligand formula index provide ready access to the compounds covered. ln accordance with the previous arrangement adopted for organemetallic compounds (cf. volumes covering organocobalt, organonickel, or organotitanium compounds), this volume starts with the mononuclear organorhenium compounds. lt contains compounds in which the organic Ligand is bonded to the Re atom by one C atom CL Ligand) and up to

Overview: Reshaping the British Constitution provides a vigorous critique of the deformations of Britain‘s customary constitution and why it could not effectively stem the growth of a centralized political authority. On this foundation it provides a critical description and assessment of recent constitutional changes including devolution, House of Lords reform, human rights and the encroachment of the European Union. Nevil Johnson suggests that since the reform programme has rested on pragmatic political expediency rather than on coherent thinking about constitutional principles, it is likely

Overview: Almost all theories of fundamental interactions are nowadays based on the gauge concept. Starting with the historical example of quantum electrodynamics, we have been led to the successful unified gauge theory of weak and electromagnetic interactions, and finally to a non abelian gauge theory of strong interactions with the notion of permanently confined quarks. The. early theoretical work on gauge theories was devoted to proofs of renormalizability, investigation of short distance behaviour, the discovery of asymptotic freedom, etc . . , aspects which were accessible to tools extrap

Overview: Recently, many new technologies have been developed forengineers to reduce the time required to design and manufactureproducts in response to rapidly fluctuating market demands. This bookaddresses a variety of contemporary methodologies, technologies andtools for rapid response manufacturing. The contributions to thisvolume focus on two major RRM areas: desktop manufacturing andcomputer and information technologies. .Rapid ResponseManufacturing. is an invaluable resource for research engineers,product design and manufacturing engineers, graduate engineeringstudents, and all those con

Overview: Systemisches Denken und Counselling-Methoden im Alltag humaner Mitarbeiterführung.Includes supplementary material: Ulrich Glöckler und Gisela Maul entwickeln einen Ansatz humaner Mitarbeiterführung, der auf die (Persönlichkeits-)Bildung von MitarbeiterInnen abzielt. Die Basis bildet das Modell des "Situativen Führens" von Hersey und Blanchard, das sich in vielen Unternehmen, Organisationen und Institutionen als erfolgreich erwiesen hat. Mit dem Ziel, einerseits zur verstärkten Fokussierung ethischer Gesichtspunkte in der Führung beizutragen und andererseits ein noch flexibleres und d

The proceedings is organized to follow the main tracks of the conf

Overview: The time seems ripe for a critical compendium of that segment of the biological universe we call viruses. Virology, as a science, having only recently passed through its descriptive phase of naming and num­ bering, has probably reached that stage at which relatively few new­ truly new-viruses will be discovered. Triggered by the intellectual probes and techniques of molecular biology, genetics, biochemical cytology, and high-resolution microscopy and spectroscopy, the field has experienced a genuine information explosion. Few serious attempts have so far been made to chronicle these

Overview: Looks into reframing conventional notions of sustainable tourism.Equips readers with frameworks for thinking about how to apply new perspectives to practitioners.Suggests a way forward to effectively .This book examines the need for a new way of describing sustainable tourism and also looks at the frameworks needed to rethink how to apply this to communities, private operators and protected area managers..It makes it clear that tourism is just one of many human activities that affects host communities.

Overview: This book is a collection of original research articles on the representation and in­ terpretation of indefinite and definite noun phrases, anaphoric pronouns, and closely related issues such as reference, scope and quantifier movement. A variety of frame­ works for the formal analysis of discourse semantics are represented, including dis­ course representation theory, file change semantics, dynamic Logic, E-type theories, and choice function approaches, which was one of the main issues the Konstanz project were concerned with. All of these frameworks are couched in the tradition of

Overview: To say you are writing about rarity is to invite two kinds of response. Either one provokes a discussion of what rarity is, or some comment on the complex­ ity of the subject. The objective of this book is to explore the nature of rarity, its complexity if you like, from one particular perspective on what rarity is. Primarily, it is an opportunity to review, to synthesize, and to question. The book is an attempt to draw together a vast body of literature, to extract from it some general principles, and to raise question marks over areas the founda­ tions of which appear to be either

Overview: The condition of borders has been crucial to many recent exhibitions, conferences and publications. But there does not yet exist a convincing critical frame for the discussion of border discourses. Rethinking Borders offers just such an introduction. It develops important contexts in art and architectural theory, contemporary film-making, criticism and cultural politics, for the proliferation of ‘border theories‘ and ‘border practices‘ that have marked a new stage in the debates over postmodernism, cultural studies and postcolonialism.978-1-349-12727-6978-1-349-12725-2
