Cosmopolitan Place Making in Australia
This book looks at the historical and contemporary impact of minority immigrant and ethnic communities on the built and social environment in Australian cities, rural and regional areas. The emphasis is on the changing social use of these buildings – places of worship, ethnic clubs and community associations, immigrant restaurants and retail outlets, museums, memorials and landmarks and other places and spaces created by immigrant communities – rather than on their architectural merit. These places and spaces are sites of bridging and bonding social capital, of social interaction between immigrant communities and their local communities. In both the Australian cities and the ‘bush’ (an Australian colloquial term for non-metropolitan dwellers), the book investigates how the places built and used by minority ethnic communities have transformed Australian life in complex and sometimes contradictory ways. In Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, the book investigates the historical development of Chinatowns and their contemporary dynamics.
Hungry Ghosts
The lives of Vic Woods and Ruth Wolfe, working-class teenagers from Liverpool and London, are profoundly disrupted by the arrival of World War II. Ruth’s journey leads her to aerial photographic interpretation, though her aspirations for advancement are denied, while Vic’s wartime experiences with bomber command haunt him long after the war is over. Their post-war marriage and tumultuous relationship with their son, James, make for a gripping narrative of trauma, conflict and, ultimately, love. Set against the backdrop of World War II and the social upheaval of the late 1960s, Hungry Ghosts transports readers into the drama of two pivotal eras in history, exploring the intergenerational impact of war, particularly on the intricate relationships between fathers and sons. Hungry Ghosts is not just a war story; it’s a timeless exploration of family bonds and the indelible scars left by war.
Gleichstellungsorientierte Männerpolitik unter Legitimationsdruck
Gleichstellungsorientierte Männerpolitik – was auf den ersten Blick als Paradoxerscheint, wird seit einigen Jahren von verschiedenen Organisationen im deutschsprachigen Raum versucht. Diese wenden sich gegen antifeministische Stimmen, die oftmals mediale Diskurse dominieren. Die Autorin untersucht aus wissenssoziologisch-diskursanalytischer Perspektive gleichstellungsorientierte Männerpolitik und fragt, wie diese sich innerhalb des umkämpften geschlechterpolitischen Terrains formiert. Dabei entdeckt sie das Deutungsmuster der 'fehlenden Legitimität', das handlungsanleitend ist und damit für die Akteur_innen im Feld bedeutet, dass diese sich erst einmal legitimieren müssen, um gehört zu werden. Dass dies nicht einfach ist, zeigt die Autorin anhand ihrer sensiblen Analyse dieser im öffentlichen Diskurs weitgehend unbekannten Form der Männerpolitik.
Ultrasound Imaging in Reproductive Medicine
Now in an updated edition, this is the most comprehensive book on modern ultrasound imaging in assisted reproductive technology (ART) and reproductive medicine. Fully revised and expanded, it covers emerging technologies possible with the improvement in ultrasound equipment. 3-D monitoring of ovarian follicles, bidirectional vibrant color and Doppler, and improved 3-D and 4-D imaging of reproductive structures are discussed. MRI-guided ultrasound procedures are covered, and comparisons of 3-D imaging with MRI imaging for uterine anomalies is reviewed with an emphasis on the advantages of 3-D performed in the gynecologist’s office, and as a less expensive modality. The overall approach of t...
