Copper Wire and Electrical Conductors
An admirable study of a vital modern technology that traces its roots to perhaps 3000 BC. Blake-Coleman began this history as a thesis; he's obviously been unable to let go. He describes the technology, demand and market growth through the expansion of electrical transmissions with trade statistics. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Small Things in the Eighteenth Century
Playful, useful, decorative, revolutionary: small things possess a rich array of meanings, from the ordinary to the extraordinary.
Approaches to Physical Measurements in Biotechnology
This book discusses the basic theory and applications of new and emerging physical measurements in biotechnology and allied fields. The treatment is self-contained and enables non-physical science readers to appreciate how measurement science approaches problems in biological measurement. Likewise, it provides an insight for physical scientists and engineers into the principle and potential of physical methods in the bio-sciences. The work is thematic and covers electrical, acoustic, optical and some electro-chemical techniques. The treatment is essentially non-mathematical and presumes little prior knowledge on the part of the reader. Nevertheless, the material attempts a comprehensive discussion of methods and allows readers to assimilate fundamental concepts stage. Application notes are current and are supported by a selected reference list of some 300 appropriate citations. Extensive explanations of more abstruse concepts are given along with suitable illustrations.

Zur Kolonialität von Kupfer
Ab 1893 begann die deutsche Kolonialmacht mit der Enteignung der Erz- und Mineralvermögen in Tsumeb im Norden des heutigen Namibia. Die florierende überregionale Kupferökonomie zwischen Haiǁom, Damara und Aawambo wurde sukzessive durch den Rohstoff-Frontier unterwandert. In drei Kapiteln betrachtet Noam Gramlich koloniale Kontinuitäten anhand von Fotografien, toxischen Überresten des Kupferabbaus und der weißen Ignoranz gegenüber afrikanischer Technologie. Im Anschluss an mediengeologische Ansätze zu Infrastrukturen, Elektroschrott und Extraktionsorten werden Vorstellungen von medialer Konnektivität herausgefordert und untersucht, wie die unscheinbare Kategorie des Rohstoffs in koloniale Prozesse von Rassifizierung und Vergeschlechtlichung eingelassen ist. Vor dem Hintergrund der Lücken im Kolonialarchiv steht die Suche nach alternativen Wissensarchiven im Zentrum. Aus einer weißen Perspektive erprobt die Studie ein verkörpertes und spekulatives Schreiben, das anti-koloniale, queere und feministische Perspektiven auf Kupfer vereint, um Möglichkeiten anti-extraktivistischer Widerstände, Vulnerabilitäten, Allianzen und Widersprüche zu thematisieren.

Gender and the Quest in British Science Fiction Television
The subjects of this book constitute a significant cross section of BBC science fiction television. With such characters as the Doctor (an enigmatic time-traveling alien), Kerr Avon (a problematic rebel leader), Dave Lister (a slovenly last surviving human) and Captain Jack Harkness (a complex omnisexual immortal), these shows have both challenged and reinforced viewer expectations about the small-screen masculine hero. This book explores the construction of gendered heroic identity in the series from both production and fan perspectives. The paradoxical relationships between the producers, writers and fans of the four series are discussed. Fan fiction, criticism and videos are examined that both celebrate and criticize BBC science fiction heroes and villains.
