Peter van der Veer has gathered together a ground-breaking collection of essays that suggests that conversion to forms of Christianity in the modern period is not only a conversion to modern forms of these religions, but also to relgious forms of modernity. Religious perceptions of the self, of community, and of the state are transformed when Western discourses of modernity become dominant in the modern world. This volume seeks to relate europ...

Provides data on the structure and function of the circulatory systems of the different mammalian species. The text explores classic allometry, dimensional analysis, and modern haemodynamics to establish similarity principles. It also examines fluid mechanics, and cardiac and arterial systems.

Analyzes the infection problems posed by acinetobacters, reviewing their microbiology, epidemiology, resistance to antibiotics, and potential therapeutic approaches. Practical tips and protocols for laboratory workers are provided, with guidelines for controlling the spread of bacteria.

Deals with the construction of finite-difference (FD) algorithms for three main types of equations: elliptic equations, heat equations and gas dynamic equations in Lagrangian form. The construction of FD algorithms for all types of equations is done on the support-operators method (SOM).

The papers in this volume are a good sampling and overview of current solutions to the problems of creating graphically based systems. This breadth of scope comes out of the closing discussion at the Fourth Eurographics Workshop on Object-Oriented Graphics. The fifth workshop, on Programming Paradigms in Graphics, set out to provide answers and alternatives to the shortcomings of object-oriented graphics. The presentations investigated the app...

Shows how Chaucer explores the complexity of the relationship between love and knowledge through recourse to the motif of sight. This book argues that Chaucer is unorthodox in exploiting the possibilities for using sight both to express emotional experience and to accentuate rationality at the same time.

In the past decade, since the first edition was published, the study of cereal protein chemistry has grown and changed. New separation techniques have been introduced while the application of achievements of molecular biology and genetic engineering of proteins has progressed dramatically. This new edition includes these advances and updates the chemistry of cereal proteins for all specialists working in theory and practice of cereal grain pro...

This survey of photocatalytic methods for treating water pollutants covers all aspects of light-stimulated detoxification. It discusses natural self-cleaning of sunlit surface ocean water and freshwater, and examines the application of ordinary/concentrated sunlight to the treatment of effluents.

Rich with biographical echoes, this novel reveals the emergence of the schematic ironies which characterise the author's later works

In The Threshold of the Visible World Kaja Silverman advances a revolutionary new political aesthetic, exploring the possibilities for looking beyond the restrictive mandates of the self, and the normative aspects of the cultural image-repertoire. She provides a detailed account of the social and psychic forces which constrain us to look and identify in normative ways, and the violence which that normativity implies.

This book responds to recent events by proposing a radical reshaping of Marxist theory. Taking the core problem as that of the historical subject, it conceptualises human life in terms of four interrelated practices. It explores these in turn in the context of a capitalism divided into 'centre' and 'periphery', primarily through nine 'theoretical reconstructions', which attempt to meet such problems as the labour theory of value, the nature an...

Cinco disciplinas de la vida cristiana que el Espiritu Santo desea renovar continuamente.

This valuable resource provides a systematic account of the biochemistry of smooth muscle contraction. As a comprehensive guide to this rapidly growing area of research, it covers the structure and characteristic properties of contractile and regulatory proteins, with special emphasis on their predicted function in the live muscle. Also included in this book are intermediate filament proteins, and desmin and vimentin, whose function in smooth ...

This classic text continues to provide the basis for understanding genetic principles behind quantitative differences, and extends these concepts to the segregation of genes that cause genetic variation in quantitative traits.

Provides a concise overview of lipids and health and opens the way to more challenging thinking about this important subject.

In 1970, Manfred Eigen initiated the study of the origin of self-reproducing systems of macromolecules and their evolution. Large-scale nucleotide sequencing (with computer methods) was introduced from 1977. The authors of this book, the first edition of which appeared (in Russian) in 1985, have been engaged in the research of the evolution of molecular genetic regulatory systems ever since those pioneering years. The book considers many funda...
