The SciArtist
This title presents criticism, commentaries, and creative responses to Carl Djerassi's literary texts, taking the author's achievements far beyond 'the Pill'
From Collective Memories to Intercultural Exchanges
The Centers for Austrian Studies, founded by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Science and Research since the 1970s, play an important role for the Austrian and international scientific community. They promote studies on Austria and Central Europe in their host nations, as well as give Austrian students the possibility of conducting research abroad and of getting in touch with the local scientific community. This volume contains reports on the activities of these institutions in the academic year 2011/2012 and includes working papers by some of their most promising PhD students. The research presented covers various aspects of Central European history in moderns times, ranging from the 15th century to the present. (Series: Europa Orientalis - Vol. 13)
Reproductive Rights Issues in Popular Media
"No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body." Almost a century after Margaret Sanger wrote these words, women's reproductive rights are still hotly debated in the press and among policymakers, while film, television and other media address issues of birth control and abortion to global audiences. This collection of new essays brings fresh perspectives to the study of family planning, contraception and abortion with a focus on their representation in popular media. Topics include dramas of adoption and abortion, telling the story of the pill, Sanger's depiction in entertainment media, and a controversy about demographic developments stirred by Carl Djerassi, also known as "the father of the pill."

Gender and Germanness
Cultural Studies have been preoccupied with questions of national identity and cultural representations. At the same time, feminist studies have insisted upon the entanglement of gender with issues of nation, class, and ethnicity. Developments in the wake of German unification demand a reassessment of the nexus of gender, Germanness and nationhood. The contributors to this volume pursue these strands of the cultural debate in German history, literature, visual arts, and language over a period of three hundred years in sections devoted to History and the Canon, Visual Culture, Germany and Her "Others," and Language and Power. Contributors: L. Adelson, A. Taylor Allen, K. Bauer, R. Berman, B. Byg, M. Denman, E. Frederiksen, S. Friedrichsmeyer, E. Kaufmann, L. Koepnick, B. Kosta, S. Lefko, A. M.O'Sickey, B. Mennel, H. M. Müller, B. Peterson, L. Pusch, D. Sweet, H. Watt, S. Zantop.

Forming and Machining of Polymers, Ceramics, and Composites
Forming and Machining of Polymers, Ceramics, and Composites targets the two important manufacturing processes where plastic deformation is involved to give the required shape and size to the raw material. The main goal of the book is to represent the recent developments in the field of forming and machining of different non-metals, especially polymers, composites, and ceramics. Special focus is on the advancement of these processes to manufacture components from these non-metals. Presents exclusive material dedicated to forming and machining of non-metals, that is, polymers, ceramics, and composites Provides comprehensive coverage of all important topics related to non-metals processing Covers basics and current research in the field of forming and machining of non-metals Focuses on sustainability interventions and intelligent manufacturing techniques for quality and productivity in forming and machining of non-metals Discusses conventional and non-conventional machining and microfabrication aspects for fabrication and processing of non-metals This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in materials processing and machine design.
