The author, a self-described "militant...

Filling a gap in the literature of biophysical methodology, this book explains the fundamentals in the theory and practice of AUC. It introduces the basic principles and technical setup of an AUC experiment and describes the optical systems used for detection. It explores the ultracentrifugation experiment from a macromolecular standpoint, offer

This book discusses the constraints within which law must work and considers the ways law uses regulatory, legislative, and adjudicatory processes to influence social behavior, drawing together some general lessons about law's limits and possibilities for improving democratic governance.

A recognized authority in the field of immigration law presents a cogent and coherent overview of modern U.S. immigration policies and their consequences.

Zombies haben es der Moderne angetan. In William Seabrooks Reisebericht The Magic Island (1929), im Kino George A. Romeros oder als Infizierte in Filmen und Serien jüngeren Datums konfrontieren sie mit der Aporie des Untodes. Die dadurch entstehenden Potenziale diskutiert Peter Schuck an Zusammenhängen, die mit Begriffen wie Haiti, Geste, Apokalypse, Infektion und Gemeinschaft verbunden sind. Der Fokus der Text- und Filmlektüren, etwa zu Passa...

Building on the previous two volumes by Dr. Schuck, this new volume is devoted to the theory and practical data analysis of dynamically coupled sedimentation processes. It will be an invaluable resource for students interested in the application of analytical ultracentrifugation in the study of interacting systems.

Law is an increasingly pervasive force in our society. At the same time, however, the obstacles to law's effectiveness are also growing. In The Limits of Law, Yale law professor Peter H. Schuck draws

This comprehensive volume, written by experts in the field, brings together a coherent set of reviews of different biophysical methodologies for the study of reversible protein interactions. These reviews allow the reader to gain a deep understanding of the biophysical observables, to stimulate creative thought on how the techniques may be applied to study a particular biological system, and to foster collaboration and multi-disciplinary work....

In this book, internationally recognised scholars and practitioners synthesise current practice and research developments in the area of mathematics teacher education and mathematics education. The book’s two sections examine the role and significance of collaborations and critical friends in the self-study of mathematics teaching and teacher education, and the emerging conflicts, dilemmas and incongruities arising from the study of mathematic...

The experiences of the first years of new teachers' professional lives are critical to their decisions about embracing or leaving the teaching profession.

Analytical ultracentrifugation consists of the application of a high gravitational field to a solution of particles and the real-time detection of the evolving spatial concentration gradients. When applied to macromolecules or nanoscopic particles, ultracentrifugation data can provide rich information on macromolecular shape, solvation, composition and size-distribution. This is the first comprehensive overview book on AUC to be published sinc...

Vital center. Radical middle. Amid the red state/blue state divide, is there now space for an iconoclastic militant moderate? In this unusual and remarkably readable collection of short essays on a wide variety of hot-button public issues--race, affirmative action, surrogate motherhood, diversity, immigration, compensation of 9/11 victims, exclusion of gays from the Boy Scouts and the military, the 2004 election, the rule of law in developing ...
