Overview: Presents a provocative interdisciplinary meta-analysis that contrasts paradigms with inflection points within the field of ageing.Offers a detailed examination of the varied roles of technology in an .This book examines the emergent and expanding role of technologies that hold both promise and possible peril for transforming the ageing process in this century. It discusses the points and counterpoints of technological advances that would influence a reconstruction of what it means to age when embedded in a post-human vision for a post-biological future..The book presents a provocativ

Overview: The Khrushchev Era examines the major political, social, and economic reforms of Nikita Khrushchev, from the ‘Secret Speech‘ and Khrushchev‘s limited, but at the time earth-shattering critique of Stalin, to his ill-fated reorganizations of the Communist Party, agriculture, and industry. Besides giving a factual account of the reforms themselves, Filtzer analyses the complex factors behind their failure, focussing not so much on the inadequacies of Khrushchev as a leader, as on the structural obstacles to reform within the Stalinist system itself. As such the Khruschev period is shown

Overview: For some time now, the study of cognitive development has been far and away the most active discipline within developmental psychology. Although there would be much disagreement as to the exact proportion of papers published in develop­ mental journals that could be considered cognitive, 50% seems like a conserva­ tive estimate. Hence, a series of scholarly books devoted to work in cognitive development is especially appropriate at this time. The Springer Series in Cognitive Development contains two basic types of books, namely, edited collections of original chapters by several autb

Overview: Argues that freedom of thought has been neglected in the scholarly and legal literature, and aims to address that gap.Examines the implications of emerging neuroscience technologies for freedom of thoFreedom of thought is one of the great and venerable notions of Western thought, often celebrated in philosophical texts – and described as a crucial right in American, European, and International Law, and in that of other jurisdictions.  What it means more precisely is, however, anything but clear; surprisingly little writing has been devoted to it.  In the past, perhaps, there has been

Overview: Offers a rigorous critique of the character education movement in the UK.Strongly criticises the teaching resources produced by leading character educators in Britain.Sets Britain‘s character educatio.What is character education? Why has it risen up the political agenda in the UK in recent years? And what does it mean in pedagogical practice? This book addresses these questions, challenging the individualistic and moralistic ideas underlying the clamour amongst politicians, educators and authors to promote ‘grit’, ‘resilience’ and ‘character’ in schools. Closely examining a range of

Overview: Provides a global view of the state of the art on the applications of THZ for CBRN and explosives‘ detection and diagnostics.Discusses techniques for detection of different objects and substances, newThis work is intended to jointly address the development, realization and applications of emitters and detectors of terahertz (THz-0.3 THz up to 10 THz) and their application to diagnostics of CBRN effects and detection of explosives and CBRN.  Hazardous substances typically exhibit rotational and vibrational transitions in this region, hence giving access to spectroscopic analysis of a

Overview: This book analyses the new pattern of security concerns of the Central Asian successor states. This region is said to encompass Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tadzhikistan, Kirghizstan and Turkmenistan. The main contention of the book is that the security problems of these states are similar to those that faced other ‘Third World‘ countries after they attained independence. That is, due to the arbitrary creation of these states by external powers they lack a certain degree of societal cohesiveness arising from the fact that several ethnic communities reside within their borders. It is this

Overview: First-ever comparison of the original Barnard Objects with their modern color versions.Features a guide for amateur astronomers interested in viewing and imaging the Barnard Objects.Shares the history.The Barnard Objects have fascinated professional and amateur astronomers for over one hundred years. Many of those objects first imaged by E.E. Barnard on black-and-white photographic plates are now being captured daily in thousands of color astrophotographs. This book tells of Barnard’s story; describing his life and work as well as how the fields of astronomy and astrophotography have

Overview: Whilst most of the senses (hearing, sight, smell and taste) have their own organs, the tactile sense is dependent on the sensory nerve endings of the periph­ eral processes of the nerve cells in the spinal ganglia. These nerve endings are distributed over the entire body. They vary in number and structure according to the nature of the tissue. For instance, the quantitative innervation of the mucosa differs from the innervation of the periosteum or the articular capsules. The skin and its related tissues are relatively richly innervated, but here too there are regional differences. S

Overview: Addresses a major gap in the training of English-language teachers.Responds to the need to reconsider translation and own-language use in the EFL classroom.Combines theories from the field of TranslatThis book reconsiders the role of translation and own-language use in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom. It shows prospective teachers how to use the learners’ own language and translation optimally. The author surveys current research about the EFL classroom and presents both a theoretical framework and a didactic model for using translation and learners’ mother tongues.

Overview: Explores how young people can become engaged and proactive citizens through citizenship education in England and Sweden.Draws on the work of prominent scholars in the field including T.H. Marshall, MaThis book examines the importance, and potential, of citizenship education, using extensive qualitative data from England and Sweden. The authors draw on the work of Nira Yuval-Davis and other prominent scholars in the field to frame citizenship as membership of numerous communities, for example disability, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and social class. This intersectional approach enabl

Overview: Argues that there is a special relationship between poetry and the animal, one which cultivates respect, care and wonder for their otherness, but which also reveals – and deepens – our sense of common.This book argues that there are deep connections between ‘poetic’ thinking and the sensitive recognition of creaturely others. It explores this proposition in relation to four poets: Marianne Moore, Elizabeth Bishop, Ted Hughes, and Les Murray. Through a series of close readings, and by paying close attention to issues of sound, rhythm, simile, metaphor, and image, it explores how poetr

Overview: Explores molecular machinery and the complexity and interconnected nature of living things through three levels: the machines, the molecular world, and the cell.Contains 50+ vibrant, full color illustImagine that we had some way to look directly at the molecules in a living organism. An x-ray microscope would do the trick, or since we’re dreaming, perhaps an Asimov-style nanosubmarine (unfortunately, neither is currently feasible). Think of the wonders we could witness firsthand: antibodies atta- ing a virus, electrical signals racing down nerve fibers, proteins building new strands

Overview: Recent studies on two-dimensional systems have led to newinsights into the fascinating interplay between physical propertiesand dimensionality. Many of these ideas have emerged from work onelectrons bound to the surface of a weakly polarizable substrate suchas liquid helium or solid hydrogen. The research on this subjectcontinues to be at the forefront of modern condensed matter physicsbecause of its fundamental simplicity as well as its connection totechnologically useful devices. .This book is the first comprehensive overview of experimental andtheoretical research in this exciting
