Overview: The desire to expose the spine for surgery by anterior approaches at any level between the head and the sacrum is not new. Spinal pathology is often located anterior to the spinal cord and nerve roots in the cervical and thoracic spine, and anterior to the peripheral nerves that emerge from the lumbosacral spine below the first lumbar ver­ tebra. To treat such pathology one prefers to expose the front of the spine directly and widely enough to eradicate the pathology and to have full control of bleeding throughout the procedure. The posterior elements of the spine are important for m

Overview: Today‘s views of leadership and management have significantly expanded to incorporate a variety of elements such as rewards, visions, and worker participation.

Overview: What happens when two women love the same man? This is the first book to examine female rivalry as a distinctive theme in women‘s fiction and to analyze the female-identified erotic triangle, where two women are rivals for the same man, as a narrative pattern which has a special resonance for inter-war women writers. Focusing on five key writers, Diana Wallace offers a reconsideration of inter-war women‘s writing and an examination of the links and rivalries between women writers themselves.978-0-230-59880-5

Overview: Many issues remain unresolved in sexuality. In some cases this is because the infor­ mation is not available to resolve them. In others it is, but the available conclusions the information supports block its acceptance, because they conflict with the posi­ tions of dominant groups in the politics of sexuality. Possibly the most obvious example is the determination of many theorists to ignore the evidence that while men rarely report being sexually assaulted, when questioned in community surveys, they make up a third of the victims, and a quarter of the perpetrators of sexual assault

Overview: Auf dem Weg zu einem postindustriellen InnovationsparadigmaInnovation ist zu einem Schlüsselbegriff der gegenwärtigen wissenschaftlichen und politischen Diskussion geworden. Unbestritten sind technologische Innovationen zentral für die ökonomische Dynamik.

Dieser Band knüpft an die Auseinandersetzung mit sozialen Innovationen in modernisierungs
