Marine Community Ecology was written to give advanced undergraduate and graduate students a current overview of what is known about the structure and organization of the assemblages of organisms that live on the sea floor. Each of the nineteen chapters is written by leading researchers to give students a look at our understanding of these communities, and what remains to be learned about them. The book is organized into three parts. The first eight chapters explore general processes that generate pattern in benthic communities. These introductory chapters examine how physical and biological forces interacting with historical and genetic constraints operate to structure marine communities. Th...
Mamy nadzieję, że niniejsza publikacja jest dobrym przykładem potwierdzającym prymat klasycznych badań źródłowych w uprawianiu historii filmu. Wszyscy autorzy, których teksty prezentujemy, wskazywali w nich na argumenty przemawiające za poszukiwaniami danych do swoich badań przede wszystkim w archiwach filmowych, foto- i fonograficznych oraz w tzw. źródłach drukowanych i pisanych. W trosce o kolejne pokolenia badaczy warto zatem zadbać o materialne zasoby dokumentów składających się na spuściznę polskiej kinematografii, w tym dorobku naukowego oraz jak najszybciej stworzyć ich przemyślane reprezentacje cyfrowe w postaci internetowych baz danych i udostępnić zainteresowanym. To właściwa (demokratyczna i mądra) droga do komplementarności zbiorów i przygotowania nowoczesnego, elastycznego i zawsze dostępnego aparatu do badań nad polską kinematografią. z Przedmowy W tomie publikują: Monika Bator, Adam Cybulski, Andrzej Dębski, Barbara Lena Gierszewska, Barbara Giza, Mariusz Guzek, Małgorzata Kozubek, Radosław Szmatoła, Adam Wyżyński, Piotr Zwierzchowski.
Focusing on advancements over the last decade, this book gives advanced undergraduate and graduate students a current overview of what is known about the structure and organisation of the assemblages of organisms that live in the ocean, with each chapter written by leading researchers.

"After traveling through the cities of Hangzhou, China, Boston, U.S.A., Bangalore, India, and Lyon, France; after 107 conversations within these cities, and after studying the thoughts of Gilles Deleuze, Rick Dolphijn explores the realms of food. Traveling throughout the world AND the world of philosophy, he opens up four different spaces (the four different parts of this book) in which various experiments take place in thinking how we relate to the edible; connecting the edible to such concepts as the self, the event, the State, health, dietetics, territoriality, capitalism, and nomadology, to name just a few. He shows us how the micropolitics of food is capable of showing us everything. Thus, it performs an ethics of life"--P. [4] of cover.
It can feel like we're swimming in a sea of corruption. It's unclear who exactly is in charge and what role they play. The same influential people seem to reappear time after time in different professional guises, pressing their own agendas in one venue after another. According to award-winning public policy scholar and anthropologist Janine Wedel, these are the powerful "shadow elite," the main players in a vexing new system of power and influence. In this groundbreaking book, Wedel charts how this shadow elite, loyal only to their own, challenge both governments'; rules of accountability and business codes of competition to accomplish their own goals. From the Harvard economists who helped...
This volume is a comprehensive collection of critical essays on The Taming of the Shrew, and includes extensive discussions of the play's various printed versions and its theatrical productions. Aspinall has included only those essays that offer the most influential and controversial arguments surrounding the play. The issues discussed include gender, authority, female autonomy and unruliness, courtship and marriage, language and speech, and performance and theatricality.
Thermoelasticity, Second Edition reviews advances in thermoelasticity and covers topics ranging from stationary problems of thermoelasticity to variational theorems of stationary thermoelasticity; stresses due to the action of a discontinuous temperature field in an infinite elastic body; the action of heat sources in the elastic space; and thermal inclusions in an infinite disc and semi-infinite disc. Three different sets of differential equations describing the fields of strain and temperature are presented. This book is comprised of 12 chapters and begins with a discussion on basic relations and equations of thermoelasticity. Thermoelasticity is treated as a synthesis of the theory of ela...
