 The Silk Road: Connecting Histories and Futures (OXFORD STUDIES IN CULTURE AND POLITICS) by Tim Winter 2022 | ISBN: 0197605060, 0197605052 | English | 280 pages | PDF | 22 MB From the Great Game to the present, an international cultural and political biography of one of our most evocative, compelling, and poorly understood narratives of history.  Edward Shorter, "The Rise and Fall of the Age of Psychopharmacology" English | ISBN: 0197574432 | 2021 | 448 pages | PDF | 3 MB The Age of Psychopharmacology began with a brilliant rise in the 1950s, when for the first time science entered the study of drugs that affect the brain and mind. But, esteemed historian Edward Shorter argues that there has been a recent fall, as the field has seen its drug offerings  The Prokaryotes: Deltaproteobacteria and Epsilonproteobacteria By Eugene Rosenberg, Edward F. DeLong, Stephen Lory, Erko Stackebrandt, Fabiano Thompson (eds.) 2014 | 413 Pages | ISBN: 3642390439 | PDF | 15 MB The Prokaryotes is a comprehensive, multi-authored, peer reviewed reference work on Bacteria and Achaea. This fourth edition of The Prokaryotes is organized to cover all taxonomic diversity, using the family level to delineate chapters.Different from other resources, this new Springer product includes not only taxonomy, but also prokaryotic biology and technology of taxa in a broad context. Technological aspects highlight the usefulness of prokaryotes in processes and products, including biocontrol agents and as genetics tools.The content of the expanded fourth edition is divided into two parts: Part 1 contains review chapters dealing with the most important general concepts in molecular, applied and general prokaryote biology; Part 2 describes the known properties of specific taxonomic groups.Two completely new sections have been added to Part 1: bacterial communities and human bacteriology. The bacterial communities section reflects the growing realization that studies on pure cultures of bacteria have led to an incomplete picture of the microbial world for two fundamental reasons: the vast majority of bacteria in soil, water and associated with biological tissues are currently not culturable, and that an understanding of microbial ecology requires knowledge on how different bacterial species interact with each other in their natural environment. The new section on human microbiology deals with bacteria associated with healthy humans and bacterial pathogenesis. Each of the major human diseases caused by bacteria is reviewed, from identifying the pathogens by classical clinical and non-culturing techniques to the biochemical mechanisms of the disease process.The 4th edition of The Prokaryotes is the most complete resource on the biology of prokaryotes.The following volumes are published consecutively within the 4th Edition:Prokaryotic Biology and Symbiotic AssociationsProkaryotic Communities and EcophysiologyProkaryotic Physiology and BiochemistryApplied Bacteriology and BiotechnologyHuman MicrobiologyActinobacteriaFirmicutesAlphaproteobacteria and BetaproteobacteriaGammaproteobacteriaDeltaproteobacteria and EpsilonproteobacteriaOther Major Lineages of Bacteria and the Archaea  The Prokaryotes: Alphaproteobacteria and Betaproteobacteria By Eugene Rosenberg, Edward F.

Heifetz, Marty Linsky, Alexander Grashow, "The Practice of Adaptive Leadership: Tools and Tactics for Changing Your Organization and the World" English | 2009 | pages: 352 | ISBN: 1422105768 | EPUB | 0,7 mb The guide to approaching leadership in a rapidly changing world.  Alexandre Mendes Cunha, "The Political Economy of Latin American Independence " English | ISBN: 1138644781 | 2016 | 320 pages | PDF | 25 MB Although historians usually trace its origins to the Haitian Revolution of the late 18th Century, Latin American political, economic and cultural emancipation is still very much a work in progress. As new national identities were developed, fresh reflection and theorising was needed in order to understand how Latin America related to the wider world. Through a series of case studies on different topics and national experiences, this volume shows how political economy has occupied an important place in discussions about emancipation and independence that occurred in the region.  The Notochord: Development, Evolution and contributions to the vertebral column English | 2022 | ISBN: 1498787916 | 267 Pages | PDF True | 16 MB Although it is the defining organ of the Chordata, the notochord and its cells are one of the least understood vertebrate organs. This may be because large parts of the notochord are often replaced with cartilaginous or bony vertebral bodies. The presence of cartilage in the notochord raises questions about the evolutionary relationships between notochord cells and cartilage cells. This book integrates classical analytical studies with recent palaeontological, experimental, and molecular studies in both developmental and evolutionary contexts. For example, although the early signaling function of the notochord is conserved across the vertebrates, many will be surprised to find that the role of the notochord in vertebral body development in tetrapods is not the blueprint for all vertebrates. Recent studies on zebrafish and medaka embryos have uncovered the molecular mechanisms of a somite-independent notochord-driven segmentation process that establishes vertebral centra and intervertebral spaces. As this process is not restricted to teleosts, the authors have written a general discussion about the role of the notochord in vertebral formation. Modularity and segmentation of the vertebral column are related topics. Further overarching themes are the structure, function and fate of the notochord in adult vertebrates and notochord-cartilage relationships.  Neil Roughley, Kurt Bayertz, "The Normative Animal?: On the Anthropological Significance of Social, Moral, and Linguistic Norms" English | 2019 | pages: 393 | ISBN: 0190846461 | PDF | 2,7 mb It is often claimed that humans are rational, linguistic, cultural, or moral creatures. What these characterizations may all have in common is the more fundamental claim that humans are normative animals, in the sense that they are creatures whose lives are structured at a fundamental level by  The Manipulation of Literature (Routledge Revivals): Studies in Literary Translation By Theo Hermans 2014 | 254 Pages | ISBN: 1138794759 | PDF | 8 MB First published in 1985, the essays in this edited collection offer a representative sample of the descriptive and systematic approach to the study of literary translation. The book is a reflection of the theoretical thinking and practical research carried out by an international group of scholars who share a common standpoint. They argue the need for a rigorous scientific approach the phenomena of translation - one of the most significant branches of Comparative Literature - and regard it as essential to link the study of particular translated texts with a broader methodological position. Considering both broadly theoretical topics and particular cases and traditions, this volume will appeal to a wide range of students and scholars across disciplines.  Matthias Strohn, "The Long Shadow of World War II: The Legacy of the War and its Impact on Political and Military Thinking since 1945" English | ISBN: 1952715024 | 2021 | 288 pages | PDF | 10 MB 2020 marks 75 years since the end of World War II, yet even as the war slips from living memory, its legacies continue to influence current political and military thinking. This anthology will analyse these legacies for a number of countries and regions including China, Russia, the United States, the Near East, and Germany illustrating in detail how World War II is not merely a historical event, but a defining moment for current military and political thinking around the globe. This book will therefore be of interest for those interested in history, but also political and military decision makers, and followers of current political and military affairs. |
