Overview: Although it is widely recognized that there are significantvariations in the circulation throughout the 24-hour day,these patterns have often beenconceived as nuisancevariables rather than functionaldifferences.Responses of the circulation are examined here not asstablephenomena, but as integrated functions highly sensitivetoenvironmental conditions, and driven by internal andexternalpacesetters. In this volume, cardiologists with aprimary interest in hypertension or heart disease,chronobiologists, and psychologists join together for thefirst time to give the reader the opportunity t

Overview: Tracing material and metaphoric waste through the Western canon, ranging from Beowulf to Samuel Beckett, Susan Signe Morrison disrupts traditional perceptions of waste to better understand how we theorize, manage, and are implicated in what is discarded and seen as garbage. Engaging a wide range of disciplines, Morrison addresses how the materiality of waste has been sedimented into a variety of toxic metaphors. If scholars can read waste as possessing dynamic agency, how might that change the ethics of refuse-ing and ostracizing wasted humans? A major contribution to the growing fie

Overview: Describes the details of the most important articles to influence medical practice.Puts critical medical articles into context for clinicians.Includes a range of articles across different disciplines This book reviews, in one place, the breadth of articles that form the basis for the current practice of medicine.

When clinicians treat patients with di

Overview: Critically rejects the epistemic privilege given to detached, theoretical, external analyses of social relationships.Examines the implications of a researcher’s positionality in regard to its subjectsThis book examines a basic problem in critical approaches to political and social inquiry: in what way is social inquiry animated by a practical intent? This practical intent is not external to inquiry as an add-on or a choice by the inquirer, but is inherent to the process of inquiry. The practical intent in inquiry derives from the connection between social inquiry and the participant’

However, Carte­ sianism as a complete metaphysical system in the image of that of the master collapsed early in the 18th century. A small school of brilliant Cartesians, almost all expert in the new mechanistic science, flashed like meteors upon the intellectual world of late 17th century France to win well-deserved recognition for Cartesianism. They were accompanied by a scintillating comet, Ma1e
