Revised and updated: a user-friendly illustrated guide to human
anatomy, written for students and practitioners This concise,
pocket-sized guide is a full-color, on-the-go reference for
students and practitioners of anatomy, massage, physical therapy,
chiropractics, medicine, nursing, and physiotherapy. The Pocket
Atlas of Human Anatomy, revised edition, interweaves text and
images in a user-friendly and accessible way. Images have been
critically assessed and modified from the previous edition for a
highly reliable learning tool of bones, muscles, and nerves, plus
all the other major body systems. A final chapter by Thomas W.
Myers outlines The Anatomy Trains myofascial meridians, which
presents a map of how tracks of fascial fabric wind longitudinally
through series of muscles. This new approach to structural
patterning has far-reaching implications for effective movement
training and manual therapy treatment. Three appendices illustrate
cutaneous nerve supply and dermatomes (Appendix 1), the major
skeletal muscles, including detailed charts of the main muscles
involved in movement (Appendix 2), and the remaining body systems
(Appendix 3).
An excellent, single-volume Catholic dictionary of the Bible
written by respected Catholic Biblical scholar John L. McKenzie S.
J. and originally published in 1965.
Fr. John L. McKenzie, S.J., (1910-1991) was an acclaimed Catholic
Scripture scholar who wrote numerous books and was the first
Catholic scholar on the Divinity School faculty. He was at one time
president of the Catholic Biblical Association of America and
president of the Society of Biblical Literature. His "Dictionary of
the Bible" is the best one-volume orthodox Catholic Bible
dictionary available in the English language--it's an essential
reference tool that should be on the shelf of every good Catholic
library.
A standard reference work, providing concise descriptions of
biblical characters, terms, and places, as well as pertinent
illustrations and charts, this is "one of the most up-to-date and
reliable dictionaries of the Bible in any language....Magnificent
in scholarship, ample in learning, frank and unhesitating in facing
all the difficulties and problems, sympathetic with the varieties
and diversities of other views" ("Religious Education").
Gestures of Music Theater: The Performativity of Song and Dance
offers new cutting edge essays focusing on Song and Dance as
performative gestures that not only entertain but also act on
audiences and performers. The chapters range across musical
theatre, opera, theatre and other artistic practices, from Glee to
Gardzienice, Beckett to Disney, Broadway to Turner Prize winning
sound installation. The chapters draw together these diverse
examples of vocality and physicality by exploring their affect
rather than through considering them as texts. This book considers
performativity in relation to Dramaturgy, Transition, Identity,
Context, Practice, Community and finally, Writing. The book reveals
how the texture of music theatre, containing as it does the
gestures of song and dance, is performative in dense, interwoven,
dialogical and paradoxical ways, partly caused by the intertextual
and interdisciplinary energies of its make-up, partly by its active
dynamism in performance. The book's contributors derive
methodologies from many disciplines, seeking in many ways to resist
and explode discrete discipline-based enquiry. They share
methodologies and performance repertoires with discipline-based
scholarship from theatre studies, musicology and cultural studies,
but there are many other approaches and case studies which we also
embrace. Together, they view these as neighboring voices whose
dialogue enriches the study of contemporary music theatre.

"Perkins' richly detailed narrative is a reminder that gender
equity has never come easily, but instead if borne from the
exertions of those who precede us."-Nathalia Holt, New York Times
bestselling author of Rise of the Rocket Girls If Yale was going to
keep its standing as one of the top two or three colleges in the
nation, the availability of women was an amenity it could no longer
do without. In the winter of 1969, from big cities to small towns,
young women across the country sent in applications to Yale
University for the first time. The Ivy League institution dedicated
to graduating "one thousand male leaders" each year had finally
decided to open its doors to the nation's top female students. The
landmark decision was a huge step forward for women's equality in
education. Or was it? The experience the first undergraduate women
found when they stepped onto Yale's imposing campus was not the
same one their male peers enjoyed. Isolated from one another,
singled out as oddities and sexual objects, and barred from many of
the privileges an elite education was supposed to offer, many of
the first girls found themselves immersed in an overwhelmingly male
culture they were unprepared to face. Yale Needs Women is the story
of how these young women fought against the backward-leaning
traditions of a centuries-old institution and created the
opportunities that would carry them into the future. Anne Gardiner
Perkins's unflinching account of a group of young women striving
for change is an inspiring story of strength, resilience, and
courage that continues to resonate today. "Yes, Yale needed women,
but it didn't really want them... Anne Gardiner Perkins tells how
these young women met the challenge with courage and tenacity and
forever changed Yale and its chauvinistic motto of graduating 1,000
male leaders every year."-Lynn Povich, author of The Good Girls

Is globalization making our world more equal, or less? Proponents
of globalization argue that it is helping and that in a competitive
world, no one can afford to discriminate except on the basis of
skills. Opponents counter that globalization does nothing but
provide a meritocratic patina on a consistently unequal
distribution of opportunity. Yet, despite the often deafening
volume of the debate, there is surprisingly little empirical work
available on the extent to which the process of globalization over
the past quarter century has had any effect on discrimination.
Tackling this challenge, Discrimination in an Unequal World
explores the relationship between discrimination and unequal
outcomes in the appropriate geographical and historical context.
Noting how each society tends to see its particular version of
discrimination as universal and obvious, the editors expand their
set of cases to include a broad variety of social relations and
practices. However, since methods differ and are often designed for
particular national circumstances, they set the much more ambitious
and practical goal of establishing a base with which different
forms of discrimination across the world can be compared. Deriving
from a broad array of methods, including statistical analyses,
role-playing games, and audit studies, the book draws many
important lessons on the new means by which the world creates
social hierarchies, the democratization of inequality, and the
disappearance of traditional categories.
Camille Saint-Saëns 1835-1921: A Thematic Catalogue of his Complete Works defines the achievement of this great French composer. All his musical works are presented: the well-recognized masterpieces, the childhood sketches, the unpublished compositions, and the previously unknown pieces now revealed for the first time. This comprehensive collection fully documents the composer's extraordinary contribution to the musical world. Volume 1 concentrates specifically on his instrumental output, while the two later volumes will cover Dramatic Works and Choral & Vocal Works respectively.
How 'effectiveness', increasingly a measurement of value replacing
a simple financial result, can best be judged across a wide variety
of fields. The purpose of this volume is to examine the concept and
measurement of 'effectiveness', now increasingly employed to
evaluate the kinds of operations where success cannot be judged in
monetary terms. A philosopher comments on thedevelopment of the
concepts of 'cause' and 'effect' from classical times to the
present; a systems engineer looks at the possibility of using the
parameter for the evaluation of coherent systems; a restoration
ecologist discussesthe parameters used in reforestation and their
relation to effectiveness considered at different levels; a
sociologist relates the methodologies used in this discipline to
evaluate the effectiveness of health programs; an expertof
education discusses the applicability of the measurement of
effectiveness to the functioning of schools; a specialist in aid to
developing countries describes the effectiveness of operations from
the implementation of major projects to demining operations; a
consultant on foreign aid highlights the cultural perception of
efficacy in developing countries; finally, an anthropologist
examines the relationship between 'effectiveness' and 'efficiency'
in food intake and production between two different populations
living in the same region, a semi-nomadic agro-pastoralist and a
settled agriculturalist one. A concluding discussion notes the
salience of the concept of effectiveness inmany 'living' phenomena,
including sociocultural ones, and the possibility of using them
better to understand their evolution.
