What do structures such as the Eiffel Tower, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the concrete roofs of Pier Luigi Nervi have in common? According to this book, now in its first paperback edition, all are striking examples of structural art, an exciting form distinct from either architecture or machine design. Aided by a number of stunning illustrations, David Billington discusses leading structural engineer-artists, such as John A. Roebling, Gustave Eiffel, Fazlur Khan, and Robert Maillart.

The work of the Latin writers of Scotland has suffered a neglect which its variety, copiousness, and intrinsic interest do not deserve. Their importance, and the importance of Latin as a literary language, is beginning to be recognized by scholars. Researchers from the universities of Glasgow and St. Andrews have now prepared the first-ever bibliography of Scottish Latin in print - unique both in its focus on the many works written in Latin and in the way in which Scottish writers are specifically targeted. Covering the years c. 1480-1700, this new reference tool carefully catalogues the work of some 500 writers, in both prose and verse.

Thousands of works are named in a clear and original format, with their titles not so truncated as to be obscure (as sometimes happens in English 'short-title' catalogues). The editors take advantage of recent research, and many poetic works hitherto unknown or ignored are referenced. This ground-breaking reference work will be essential not only for those who study the progress of humanism and the history and literature of early modern Scotland, but also for those engaged in various kinds of research into the events and ideas of continental Europe, with which Scotland was closely linked in many ways.

The issue of capital punishment is a continually-debated issue because it calls into question the values and direction of society. How is a civilisation supposed to handle lawbreakers? Are some crimes so heinous and some people so dangerous that the death penalty is the only appropriate response? The United States Constitution prohibits 'cruel and unusual punishment', but opinions on whether that includes capital punishment are vehement on both sides. Many states have some form of death penalty, and public opinion seems to indicate support of it in principle. However, many firestorms have erupted recently over the application of the penalty, including the topics of its use on minors and those with mental disabilities. There are also questions raised about how much of a factor race plays in a capital sentence. Internationally, several countries have foresworn the death penalty, with certain countries in Europe and the Americas refusing to extradite criminal suspects (including suspected terrorists) to the US if capital punishment is a possible sentence. With such politically flammable and ethically challenging issues hanging over it, capital punishment is a vitally important issue to understand. To help facilitate that study, this book assembles a carefully selected and substantial listing of literature focussing on the death penalty. Anyone researching this area of criminal justice will find this book an important tool as it offers easy access to the most relevant works about capital punishment. Following the bibliography, further access is provided with author, title, and subject indexes.

One of the cornerstones of life's wonders is the vast array of species filling the planet. From plants to animals to humans, there is no shortage of beings to provide 'spice of life' variety is said to be. Periodically, scientists announce the discovery of a 'new' form of life, so it seems as if Earth is capable of producing new species just to keep us on our toes. At times, the immense breadth of living things can even feel overwhelming, as one pauses to ponder how numerically insignificant humans are when compared to the insect population. Given the biological diversity of the planet, it is incumbent upon humans to safeguard the natural beauty of the environment. To that end, conservation takes on special importance, necessitating the balancing of industrial expansion with preserving the flora and fauna surrounding us. This book is an important tool in understanding and researching the many different life forms spanning the globe. Collected here is a substantial and carefully selected listing of relevant literature on biological diversity and its conservation. Following this bibliography are author, title, and subject indexes to allow for further access to this information. The sheer bulk of the works about biological diversity can be so intimidating that a book such as this one becomes useful in sorting through the resources about the importance of life's variety.

A comprehensive bibliography covering the most productive period to date, 1991 - 2002, of scholarship on the work of Christine de Pizan. Martin Le Franc's prediction in Le Champion des dames (c. 1440) that Christine de Pizan's name would endure for ever is borne out in the current extraordinary vogue of interest in Christine as France's first professional female writer (c. 1364-c. 1431). Supplement II, building on the volumes published by Kennedy in 1984 (502 items) and 1994 (391 items), covers the most productive period to date of scholarship on her work: 1991-2002 (1255 items). Thepresent work is made up of six chapters: Bibliographies and Manuscript Catalogues; General Surveys of Christine de Pizan's Life and Works; Studies of Specific Topics (Manuscripts, Miniatures and Manuscript Illumination; Christinede Pizan, England, Spain, and Portugal; Christine de Pizan and Italy; Feminism and Related Topics; Humanism; Political, Social, and Educational Themes; The Court of Love 1400/01; Poetic Themes and Form; Language; Musical Settings; Miscelleaneous); Anthologies, Selections, and Collected Critical Studies; Individual Works: Manuscripts, Editions, Translations, and Critical Studies; Reviews of Items Listed in the 1994 volume. The Indexes are now cumulative, covering all three volumes published to date. This analytical bibliography will provide a unique interdisciplinary resource to all scholars working in the field of late-mediaeval studies. ANGUS J. KENNEDY is Stevenson Professor of French at the University of Glasgow.

Courts play an integral in enforcing and interpreting the laws of a nation. While the legislatures are tasked with devising laws and the executive branch with carrying them out, it is the courts' job to determine the laws' meanings and applications. In the United States, this process involves an intricate and often complex set of differing levels and jurisdictions. These include district, circuit, and appeals branches. This judiciary break-down applies to both state and federal courts. Having one's case decided at one level is often not the end of the penal odyssey, as the possibility remains to appeal to the next highest court. Such a scenario is open all the way through the Supreme Court, but advancing that far is not a standard occurrence. Regardless, the courts are an important piece of the American way of life, holding the power to keep criminals from society and uphold the laws regulating daily life. In order to be a well-informed citizen and participant in US society, one needs to have some knowledge of the court system. This book meets that requirement by presenting a thorough and carefully selected list of literature pertaining to the American court system. The citations deal with the district, circuit, and appeals courts. These divisions of the court system are often the least understood as they do not garner the national headlines of the Supreme Court, so this book makes for a critical tool in researching the US courts. Further access to this important information comes via author, title, and subject indexes.

Twenty-four news networks, a plethora of newspapers and magazines, vibrant news-talk radio, and the ubiquitous Internet highlight our society as information-driven. With such a steady stream of hard facts mixed with publicised opinions, the mainstream population has an opinion on everything. Most anyone seems itching to argue their side of an issue, making once private beliefs fodder for general consumption. A staple of any medium's content is a regular public opinion poll on whatever hot topic strikes the editor's fancy. From the significant to the mundane, public opinion permeates society. Accordingly, politicians have taken note of these opinions and adopted stands and values that put them in tune with public sentiment. An understanding of the nature of public opinion, therefore, is paramount in today's world. This book assembles and presents a carefully chosen bibliography on public opinion in its many forms. The collection of references makes for a valuable resource in studying and researching the critical issue of public opinion. Easy access to these pieces of literature are then provided with author, title, and subject indexes.

We live in a wired society, with computers containing and passing around vital information on both personal and public matters. Keeping this data safe is of paramount concern to all. Yet, not a day seems able to pass without some new threat to our computers. Unfortunately, the march of technology has given us the benefits of computers and electronic tools, while also opening us to unforeseen dangers. Identity theft, electronic spying, and the like are now standard worries. In the effort to defend both personal privacy and crucial databases, computer security has become a key industry. A vast array of companies devoted to defending computers from hackers and viruses have cropped up. Research and academic institutions devote a considerable amount of time and effort to the study of information systems and computer security. Anyone with access to a computer needs to be aware of the developing trends and growth of computer security. To that end, this book presents a comprehensive and carefully selected bibliography of the literature most relevant to understanding computer security. Following the bibliography section, continued access is provided via author, title, and subject indexes. With such a format, this book serves as an important guide and reference tool in the defence of our computerised culture.

Ska originated in Jamaica in the late Fifties and combined Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and r 'n' b. Ska developed in the Sixties with artists such as Prince Buster, Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd, and Duke Reid who formed sound systems to play American rhythm and blues and then began recording their own songs. Ska was popular with British mods and was later adopted by many skinheads. As music changed in the US, so did ska. In 1965 and 1966, when American soul music became slower and smoother, ska changed its sound accordingly and developed into rocksteady before evolving again from 1968 into reggae.

World Poverty A Bibliography With Indexes

At the end of the 20th century was a era of the Internet, the beginning of the 21st is said to be the age of biotechnology. The potential economic and social impacts are staggering. But what is it? Modern agricultural biotechnology refers to various scientific techniques, most notably genetic engineering, used to modify plants, animals, or micro-organisms by introducing in their genetic makeup genes for specific desired traits, including genes from unrelated species. For centuries people have crossbred related plant or animal species to develop useful new varieties or hybrids with desirable traits, such as better taste or increased productivity. The United States has more than a decade of experience in regulating bio-engineered foods. About 50 varieties of bio-engineered food crops have gone through the US government regulatory procedures, and thousands of foods containing ingredients from these bio-engineered crops are currently on the US market. Biotechnology also contributes to such diverse areas waste disposal, mining, and medicine.

It has been estimated that of the approximately six billion people currently living on the Planet Earth, there are seven billion writers. But why? Some want to instruct, others to entertain or to share experience with others to reduce their inner stresses by letting it all hang out. Publishers have reacted to this situation by publishing a non-stop torrent of books on how to do-it writing. This bibliography gathers citations from the literature for the past 10 years and provides easy access with subject, author and title indexes.

A severe shortage of nurses is being experienced. Part of the problems is connected to the relentless practices of the so-called healthcare organisations including medical groups and hospitals which often insist on 16 hour days with little or no notice. Another part of the problem rests with doctors who continue to offput more and more medical decisions to nurses leading to patient neglect. Finally, the nurses themselves feel exploited and underpaid compared to the workloads and responsibilities being passed on them. This bibliography presents carefully selected review citations to the nursing literature which are then indexes by subject, title and author.

Robotics has worked its way from science fiction to science without the fiction to widespread applications not only in manufacturing but in medical research and other fields as well. Progress had been accelerated by the faster-than-light advances in miniaturisation. This book provides important citations, primarily to the book literature, with access through author, subject and title indexes.

The contemporary family is being distracted, disturbed and distraught by societal pressures from every direction. The nuclear family concept, believed crucial to child rearing, is becoming passe according to census data. Or has the wave of disruption to families crested? It is hoped that this bibliography will serve as a useful tool to researchers seeking further information on families and the pressures being exerted upon them in the 21st century.

There are probably few concepts less understood, more cursed and blamed for everything imaginable, and yet perhaps result in so many outstanding developments as globalisation. Globalisation is the process of denationalisation of markets, politics and legal systems (i.e. the rise of the so-called global economy). The consequences of this political and economic restructuring on local economies, human welfare and environment are the subject of vigorous debate among businesses of all sizes, various international organisations, governmental institutions and the academic world. This book gathers the book and journal literature on this controversial subject and presents it under the categories of: General, Globalisation and Society, Globalisation, Economics and Trade, Globalisation and Politics, Globalisation and Business, Globalisation and Technology, and Globalisation and the Environment. Additional access is provided by author, subject and title indexes.

As American demographics continue their stunning shift, Mexico's position as the homeland of so many immigrants will give it a powerful voice in world politics. In addition, Mexico has seemingly grasped the handle on solutions to many of its internal programmes. Many people are predicting that the Cinderella country of the 21st century will, in fact, be Mexico. This book presents carefully selected key literature over the last 10 years and gives access by subject, title and author indexes.

Since the nuclear genie was let out of the bottle, nuclear weapons have been the exclusive domain of a select few countries. At the dawn of the next millennium, however, the notion that small countries and even a few individuals many acquire and use them, or threaten to, is a major concern. This annotated bibliography presents citations of the current book and journal literature which deal with this dangerous issue. Access is provided through subject, author and titles indexes.

There was a day when society shielded its children from the often cruel world. At least in the so-called developed countries, the exposure of children to the worst perversions society can conjure up, has never been greater. Children have reached the exalted level of being treated, seduced and targeted to as a 'market'. This bibliography brings together the literature providing access by subject groupings as well as author and title indexes.

Television, films, and others that pass for cultural activities worship the body thin. This distortion of reality and the abundance of food in the developed countries of the world have spawned an epidemic of disorders connected to the food. Extremes such as intensive concern about one's body image and total disregard for it have resulted in many countries which contain enormous segments of the population who are either obese and proud of it or bordering on anorexia nervosa. Unfortunately, these diseases are not trivial in their consequences, leading sometimes to fatal outcomes and almost always to a state of depression. Recent research has shown a startling correlation between obesity and heart disease, cancer, kidney failure, and numerous other diseases. Anorexia nervosa, bulemia, and bingeing from a triad of diseases which threaten the well-being of several million moistly young people. This bibliography consists of carefully selected citations which have been categorised for easy access.
