Overview: Asa Briggs has been a prominent figure in post-war cultural life - as a pioneering historian, a far-sighted educational reformer, and a sensitive chronicler of the way in which broadcasting and communication more generally have shaped modern society. He has also been a devoted servant of the public good, involved in many inquiries, boards and trusts. Yet few accounts of public life in Britain since the Second World War include a discussion or appreciation of his influential role. This collection of essays provides the first critical assessment of Asa Briggs‘ career, using fresh resea

Overview: War - World War I - created the state of Yugoslavia in 1918 and, in a series of wars, starting in 1991, Yugoslavia was replaced by several new and smaller states. The victors had always presented these wars as wars of national liberation: each war was fought for the sacred cause of national liberty. The book traces the origins of ideologies, appealing to the cause of national liberty, and outlines their use in the creation of new states and new political regimes in the Balkans.978-0-312-23084-5978-0-230-28584-2

Overview: Examines multi-dialect cultural spaces in the consumption of cooked food in Singapore.Considers the indigenization of foreign foods in Singapore, using two case studies of hipster food – Japanese and This pivot considers the use of porcelain vessels within multi-dialect cultural spaces in the consumption of cooked food in Singapore. In a place of ubiquitous hawker centres and kopitiams (coffee shops), the potteries used to serve hawker foods have a strong presence in the culinary culture of Singaporeans. The book looks at the relationship between those utensils, the food/drinks that

Overview: The present collection of papers derives from a philosophy conference organised in the Sicilian town of M ussomeli in September 1991. The con­ ference aimed at providing an analysis of certain aspects of the thought of Michael Dummett, whose contributions have been very influential in several aspects of the philosophical debate continuing within the analyt­ ical tradition. Logic, the philosophy of mathematics, the interpretation of Frege‘s philosophy, and metaphysics are only some of the areas within which Dummett‘s ideas have been fruitful over the years. The papers contained in thi

Overview: Explores the significance of the ‘Eastern Question‘ in British domestic politics and society.Draws on a wide range of public and private sources, from government records to the Victorian popular press.This book examines mid-Victorian discourse on the expansion of the British Empire’s role in the Middle East. It investigates how British political leaders, journalists and the general public responded to events in the Ottoman Empire, which many, if not most, people in Britain came to see as trudging towards inevitable chaos and destruction. Although this ‘Eastern Question’ on a post-Ott

Overview: A detailed presentation of the major role played by correctlydesigned and fabricated joints in the safe and reliable response ofsteel, composite and timber structures. The typology/morphology ofconnections is discussed for both conventional pinned and rigid jointsand semi-rigid types. All relevant topics are comprehensivelysurveyed: definitions, classification, and influence of jointbehaviour on overall structural response. Also presented are theapplication of the component method, the notion of rotationalcapacity, the local ductility of different types ofearthquake-resistant structu

Overview: First book to examine the UN Security Council procedure for authorizing international criminal investigations.Presents evidence based on archival research and interviews with diplomats who participate.The book explains why and how the UN Security Council authorizes international criminal investigations into mass atrocities. In doing so, it tackles head-on the obvious double standards of global justice, where few atrocities get investigated and most slip below the headlines.. The book argues that the Council’s decision-making procedure is central to understanding the Council’s decisio

Overview: Inaugural volume of the new series "Advances in Mathematics Education".Forward-looking monograph highlighting theories that influence mathematical education theory building.Top researchers in their fiAdvances in Mathematics Education is a new and innovative book series published by Springer that builds on the success and the rich history of ZDM—The Inter- tional Journal on Mathematics Education (formerly known as Zentralblatt für - daktik der Mathematik). One characteristic of ZDM since its inception in 1969 has been the publication of themed issues that aim to bring the state-of-the

Overview: This book is intended to be an introduction to elasticity theory. It is as­ sumed that the student, before reading this book, has had courses in me­ chanics (statics, dynamics) and strength of materials (mechanics of mate­ rials). It is written at a level for undergraduate and beginning graduate engineering students in mechanical, civil, or aerospace engineering. As a background in mathematics, readers are expected to have had courses in ad­ vanced calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. Our experience in teaching elasticity theory to engineering students leads us to be

Overview: ‘So far as the young were concerned,‘ Orwell wrote of Britain in the years after the Great War, ‘the official beliefs were dissolving like sandcastles.‘ Most critical accounts of that postwar generation have been constrained by having to deal with the myth of the ‘thirties.‘ Michael Gorra‘s innovation in this exciting study of the postwar generation‘s major novelists lies in seeing the consequences of that dissolution in formal rather than political terms, arguing that the novelist‘s difficulty in representing human character in what Wyndham Lewis called a ‘shell-shocked‘ age is itse

Overview: This volume contains the proceedings of the EMBO-NATO-CEC Advanced Research Workshop on "Guanine-nucleotide binding proteins. Common structural and functional properties", which was held in Renesse, The Netherlands, August 6-11, 1988. The transmission of information is one of the most important processes in cellular life and involves the most diverse physiological functions. The cellular membrane, as the obligatory target for external signals, harbours complex pathways transducing the signals from the receptors of the external stimuli to the cytoplasmic effector. Heterotrimeric prote
