Overview: In this book, Derek Cohen studies the relationship of Shakespearean drama to the Western culture of violence. He argues that violence is an inherent feature and form of patriarchy and that its production and control is one of the dominant motives of the political system. Shakespeare‘s plays supply examples of the way in which the patriarchy of his plays - and hence, perhaps, of modern Western culture - absorbs, naturalizes, and legitimizes violence in its attempts to maintain political control over its subjects.978-0-230-37944-2

Overview: Die Soziologie blickt, was praktische Verwendung und theoretische Konsolidierung anlangt, in eine offene, höchst ungewisse Zukunft. All ihren Beständen und jedem ihrer Einsätze fehlt die Gewißheit, dauerhafte Erkenntnis zu sein. Das gilt selbst für empirische Forschung, besonders aber für rein theoretische Überlegungen. In dieser Lage wäre ein Verzicht auf zusammenfassende Theorie verhängnisvoll, aber es emp­ fiehlt sich, solche Theorie zunächst einmal ins Unreine zu schreiben. Dafür schien mir, über eine Reihe von Jahren hinweg, der Zeitschriftenaufsatz die geeignete Form der Mittei

Major serological methods are reviewed, as is the chronologicaldevelopment of serodiagnosis for this infection. There are manyimportant parallels which are applicable to the serodiagnosis of anyinfectious disease, and history reminds us of how these commonalitiesneed to be

Overview: During the Conference on Air-Sea Interaction in January 1986, it was suggested to me by David Larner of Reidel Press that it may be timely for an updated compendium of air-sea interaction theory to be organized, developed, and published. Many new results were emerging at the time, i.e., results from the MARSEN, MAS EX, MILDEX, and TOWARD field projects (among others) were in the process of being reported and/or published. Further, a series of new experiments such as FASINEX and HEXOS were soon to be conducted in which new strides in our knowledge of air-sea fluxes would be made. Duri

Overview: State, Anarchy and Collective Decisions provides an introduction to the applications of game theory to a series of questions that are fundamental in political economy. These questions include: Why do we need states? What might happen without protection for life and property? How might tribes or criminal gangs behave in struggles over material possessions?

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Every now and again I receive a lengthy manuscript from a kind of theoretician known to psychiatrists as the "triangle people" - kooks who have independently discovered that everything in the universe comes in threes (solid , liquid, gas; protons, neutrons, electrons; the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost ; Moe, Larry, Curly; and so on) . At the risk of sounding like a triangle person, let me explain why I think that the topic of this volume - - storage and computation in the language fac­ ulty - though having just two sides rather than three, is the ke

Overview: The phenomenon of drug abuse is part of the human experience that extends as far back in time as recorded history exists. Today, however, it has a new and much greater dramatic urgency. The reasons for this are multiple and worrisome. Last year, of the total of approximately 1.9 million total deaths that occurred in the United States, a conservative estimate is that more than one-quarter were premature deaths due to the addictive disorders. These include over 300,000 deaths related to cigarette smoking, which represents in many respects the prototypic addiction in this country; over

Overview: Provides a complete text to researchers, academicians, graduate students.Summarizes the evolution of the original SCA in a simplified manner.Includes numerical examples and MATLAB codes for better undThis open access book serves as a compact source of information on sine cosine algorithm (SCA) and a foundation for developing and advancing SCA and its applications. SCA is an easy, user-friendly, and strong candidate in the field of metaheuristics algorithms.

Overview: Stress reaction is likely to play a crucial role in a varietyof degenerative diseases including cancer and cardiovascular diseases.The process of stress adaptation may appear to be simple, but inreality this is a very complex process and we are only beginning tounderstand the mechanism of adaptation. In January, 1998, scientistsfrom around the world assembled to discuss the potential applicabilityof the concept of stress adaptation in the clinical arena. This volumecontains original research papers presented on this subject during theconference .Stress Adaptation, Prophylaxis and Tre
