Your Time Is Done Now
"Maroons, self-organized communities of runaway slaves, existed wherever slavery was present. One of the most vital and persistent maroon communities was tucked away in the mountainous rainforests on the Caribbean island of Dominica, at the time a British colony. This "state within a state," as the colonial authorities tellingly described it, posed a direct challenge to the slavery system, and before long, the Dominican Maroons rose up to challenge the British Empire. Ultimately, they were captured and put on trial. Here, for the first time, are primary documents, carefully edited and contextualized, that richly present the voices and experiences of the Maroons--in resistance and defeat. You...
Changes and Challenges in the Modern World Economy
The book was prepared by the academics and doctoral students of the Faculty of International Business and Economics of the Poznań University of Economics and Business to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the University and the 10th anniversary of the Faculty itself. The subject of this Volume reflects the variety of issues that are researched by academics from all departments of the Faculty. The rationale for publishing this Volume was to signal current work and research progress in the area of international economics, business and management. As the title of the Volume suggests, we need to anticipate changes and implement a new approach to face the challenges in the world economy for it is...
A Time for Metabolism and Hormones
Recent years have seen spectacular advances in the field of circadian biology. These have attracted the interest of researchers in many fields, including endocrinology, neurosciences, cancer, and behavior. By integrating a circadian view within the fields of endocrinology and metabolism, researchers will be able to reveal many, yet-unsuspected aspects of how organisms cope with changes in the environment and subsequent control of homeostasis. This field is opening new avenues in our understanding of metabolism and endocrinology. A panel of the most distinguished investigators in the field gathered together to discuss the present state and the future of the field. The editors trust that this volume will be of use to those colleagues who will be picking up the challenge to unravel how the circadian clock can be targeted for the future development of specific pharmacological strategies toward a number of pathologies.
The Text and the World
A study of an exceptionally interesting primary source - the Henrykow Book - and of the local and regional world which that source reflected and helped shape. This volume mines the Henrykow Book for the information it provides about the social, political, religious, and literary contexts of medieval Europe.
Rulership in Medieval East Central Europe
19 substantial chapters provide the first overview of research on rulership in theory and practice, with a particular emphasis on monarchies of Bohemia, Hungary and Poland in the High and Late Middle Ages.
Oxford Handbook of Medieval Central Europe
The Oxford Handbook of Medieval Central Europe summarizes the political, social, and cultural history of medieval Central Europe (c. 800-1600 CE), a region long considered a "forgotten" area of the European past. The 25 cutting-edge chapters present up-to-date research about the region's core medieval kingdoms -- Hungary, Poland, and Bohemia -- and their dynamic interactions with neighboring areas. From the Baltic to the Adriatic, the handbook includes reflections on modern conceptions and uses of the region's shared medieval traditions. The volume's thematic organization reveals rarely compared knowledge about the region's medieval resources: its peoples and structures of power; its social life and economy; its religion and culture; and images of its past.

Chiral Auxiliaries in Cycloadditions
Since the days of Diels, Alder and Woodward, cycloadditions have been among the most versatile reactions for stereoselective synthesis ... All relevant information is collected in this well-structured, practical handbook. Arranged according to the cycloaddition type, the suitable auxiliaries, reactants, stereoselectivities, yields, and references for each key reaction are compiled in compact tables. Scientists interested in the theoretical background of stereoselective cycloadditions will find an excellent selection of in-depth literature references. ... with this comprehensive data collection cycloadditions will become an even more powerful tool for every organic chemist working on stereoselective synthesis.
