Global Handbook of Quality of Life
This handbook provides a comprehensive historical account of the field of Quality of Life. It brings together theoretical insights and empirical findings and presents the main items of global quality of life and wellbeing research. Worldwide in its scope of topics, the handbook examines discussions of demographic and health development, the spread of democracy, global economic accounting, multi-item measurement of perceived satisfaction and expert-assessed quality of life and the well-being of children, women and poor people. It looks at well-being in specific regions, including North and Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, South America and Eastern and Western Europe. In addition to contributions by leading and younger authors, the handbook includes contributions from International Organizations about their own work with respect to social reporting.
The Hippocampus Book
Known to be important for memory, the hippocampus has long been a prime focus for neuroscience research. This second edition of The Hippocampus Book is written by experts in a wide range of disciplines, with new chapters summarizing how disorders of hippocampal function contribute to neurological and psychiatric conditions. The editors draw on their experience in hippocampal anatomy, physiology, cognitive neuroscience and disease pathobiology to weave together an authoritative book which will interest those working in numerous neuroscientific disciplines.
Gender, Identity, and Representation in Spain's Golden Age
The essays in this collection provide new material to enable the continuing recuperation of the complex social ambiance that both created and was reflected in the literature of Spain's Golden Age.
El gènere de la polis
El gènere de la polis. La trajectòria de les dones en el catalanisme polític presenta els resultats d’una àmplia i polièdrica recerca sobre els imaginaris col·lectius que han fonamentat el sexisme en la política catalana contemporània. En un ampli estudi d’ordre historiogràfic i politològic s’examina el rol de les dones des de finals de segle XIX fins a la recuperació de la democràcia i l’autogovern en la qual les Jornades Catalanes de la Dona (1976) en foren una fita ciutadana. L’obra constitueix una anàlisi qualitativa a partir de 21 entrevistes a regidores en municipis de Catalunya en les legislatures entre 1979 i 2007. El tractament estadístic de les dades quantitatives de regidores, alcaldesses, conselleres comarcals i diputades provincials mostra que, tot i la infrarepresentació femenina, s’havia produït un avenç en les polítiques de dones. I es confirma així el vell lema “les dones sabem que sabem”.
Writing Women’s History
Five essays address such themes as the relationship between feminist history and women's history, the use of the concept of "experience", the development of the history of gender, demographic history and women's history and the importance of post-structuralism to women's history.
The Thalamus
The thalamus is a key structure in the mammalian brain, providing a hub for communication within and across distributed forebrain networks. Research in this area has undergone a revolution in the last decade, with findings that suggest an expanded role for the thalamus in sensory processing, motor control, arousal regulation, and cognition. Moving beyond previous studies of anatomy and cell neurochemistry, scientists have expanded into investigations of cognitive function, and harness new methods and theories of neural computation. This book provides a survey of topics at the cutting edge of this field, covering basic anatomy, evolution, development, physiology and computation. It is also the first book to combine these disciplines in one place, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of thalamus research, and will be an essential resource for students and experts in biology, medicine and computer science.
