Overview: In this highly entertaining study, De Sousa argues that Shakespeare reinterprets, refashions and reinscribes his alien characters - Jews, Moors, Amazons and gypsies. In this way, the dramatist questions the narrowness of a European perspective which caricatures other societies and views them with suspicion. De Sousa examines how Shakespeare defines other cultures in terms of the interplay of gender, text and habitat. Written in a provocative style, this readable book provides a wealth of fascinating information both on contemporary stage productions and on race and gender relations i

Overview: Analyses the relationship between science, cyberspace, technology and diplomacy in an intellectually rigorous way.Explores ways in which the EU and the CELAC can enhance collaboration through new area.This book explores collaborations between the European Union (EU) and the CELAC ( Community of Latin American and Caribbean States) in science diplomacy, as well as the related areas of cyberdiplomacy and techplomacy. It focuses on how interregional collaboration could strengthen societal resilience in both LAC and EU member countries and contribute to realising the SDGs and Agenda 2030

Overview: Provides foundation for gauge theory and selfdual vortices.Advanced chapters treat elliptic problems involving Chern–Simmons models, concentration-compactness principles, and Maxwell–Chern–Simons vort.In modern theoretical physics, gauge field theories are of great importance since they keep internal symmetries and account for phenomena such as spontaneous symmetry breaking, the quantum Hall effect, charge fractionalization, superconductivity and supergravity. This monograph discusses specific examples of selfdual gauge field structures, including the Chern–Simons model, the abelian–

Overview: Semantic domains boost the performance of natural-language processing systems.Includes supplementary material: .Semantic fields are lexically coherent – the words they contain co-occur in texts. In this book the authors introduce and define semantic domains, a computational model for lexical semantics inspired by the theory of semantic fields. Semantic domains allow us to exploit domain features for texts, terms and concepts, and they can significantly boost the performance of natural-language processing systems. Semantic domains can be derived from existing lexical resources or can

Overview: Star-Spangled Soccer traces the development of soccer in the USA. It is the first book that tells the story of how the sport rose to extreme highs and suffered almost catastrophic lows as it fought to position itself on the American sports landscape, beginning with the announcement from FIFA in 1988 that America would host the 1994 World Cup.978-1-349-31624-3978-0-230-27804-2

Overview: The first time that the cytoskeleton, the intracellular structure, cellular signal transduction, and the communication of cells with their environment are brought and considered togetherThis monograph explores the relationships between cell signaling and the cytoplasmic cytoskeleton in fundamental cell processes, thus bridging the gap between two very active aspects of molecular cell biology. It covers the two main - and reciprocal - questions of these relationships: How are structure and function of the cytoskeleton affected by external signals which impinge on the cell? How does th

Overview: Anschauliche Darstellung von grafischen Verfahren zur Konstruktion von Bildern unter einer speziellen Parallelprojektion..Eine gute und schnelle Übersicht über gängige Projektionsverfahren.Includes su.Berthold Heinrich stellt die mathematischen und zeichnerischen Grundlagen für die Darstellung von Objekten im Raum auf kariertem Papier vor. Dabei präsentiert er auch die Nutzung von Software. In der Schule wird oft kariertes Papier als Raster zur Darstellung von Flächen und Körpern genutzt. Allerdings werden, selbst in einigen Druckwerken, z.B. die entstehenden Ellipsen und Winkelbögen

Overview: Analyzes the reverse relationship between socioeconomic status and voting in Africa using Afrobarometer data.Explores why the resource-poor participate more often in elections than their comparatively.This book seeks to explore a fundamental obscurity in electoral behavior literature: while socioeconomic status is typically robustly and positively associated with a higher propensity for voting worldwide, the relationship in Africa is either negative or non-existent. Building upon the author’s previous works relating to political participation, behavior and electoral processes, this w

Overview: States that plants are the first inhabitants of the planet and people want to know more about their health.Argues that in the post-Covid era, people will be much more attracted by science and environm.This book aims to describe, though in a quite light way, the social role of plant diseases, letting the reader know the topical importance of plant pathology, as well as the role of plant pathologists in our society. Plant diseases caused, in the past, significant economic losses, deaths, famine, wars, and migration. Some of them marked the history of entire countries. One example among
