The essays in Private Libraries and their Documentation revolve around the users and contents of early modern private book collections, and around the sources used to document and study these collections. They take the reader from large-scale projects on historical book ownership to micro-level research conducted on individual libraries, and from analyses of specific types of primary sources to general typologies and overviews by period and by region. As a result of its comparative approach and active engagement with questions regarding the nature, selection and accessibility of sources, the volume serves as a guide to sources and resources in different regions as well as to state-of the-art methods and interpretational approaches. Publication of this volume in open access was made possible by the Ammodo KNAW Award 2017 for Humanities.
Adopting a coherent and student-friendly format, this book offers an encyclopaedic introduction to social research methodology, and considers a broad range of qualitative and quantitative methods to help students identify and evaluate the best approach for their research needs.
Social researchers increasinly find themselves looking beyond conventional methods to address complex research questions. The Handbook of Emergent Methods is the first book to comprehensively examine emergent qualitative and quantitative theories and methods across the social and behavioral sciences. Providing scholars and students with a way to retool their research choices, the volume presents cutting-edge approaches to data collection, analysis, and representation. Leading researchers describe alternative uses of traditionnal quantitative and qualitative tools, innovative hybrid or mixed methods; and new techniques facilitated by technological advances. Consistently formatted chapters explore the strengths and limitations of each method for studying different types of research questions and offer practical, in-depth examples.

This textbook, edited by three of the world's leading experts, profiles all aspects of this important field. Beginning with embryology and concluding with congenital heart defects in the newborn, it explains scientific and clinical principles with clarity and is illustrated with top quality scans. Fetal Cardiology is for all health care professionals performing targeted organ scans or with an interest in the fetal heart. Aimed especially at obstetricians, pediatric cardiologists and general cardiologists, this book includes chapters on treatment options-pharmacological or surgical interventions-available to affected fetuses, as well as all life-stages of heart disease, from embryology to adulthood. It also explores often-ignored areas such as the placenta, reproductive health of women with coronary heat disease, counseling of families affected with coronary heart disease, and future fetal treatments only now being developed. Fetal Cardiology will establish itself as the benchmark text.
