Travelling showfolk have been entertaining Scots for centuries and
a visit to 'the shows' was a highlight of the year until recent
memory. The Codonas are one of the longest and most established
show families, having arrived from the continent in the late
eighteenth century. The book is based almost entirely on original
research and draws on interviews with three generations to give a
vivid and richly anecdotal account of this ever-changing world.
Illustrations, mostly previously unpublished, enhance the text. The
interviews have been kept intact as much as possible, to keep the
flow of overlapping individual life stories but are organised
chronologically from the 1890s, when it enters living memory, up to
the present. The hundred years from 1790 are described in a lively
introduction including many first-hand accounts and following the
family fortunes in the United Kingdom, the United States where
members reached the top of the circus profession and as far afield
as Hawaii.
A fresh new treatment written by industry insiders, this work gives
readers a remarkably clear view into the world of chemical
separation. The authors review distillation, extraction,
adsorption, crystallization, and the use of membranes – providing
historical perspective, explaining key features, and offering
insights from personal experience. The book is for engineers and
chemists with current or future responsibility for chemical
separation on a commercial scale – in its design, operation, or
improvement – or for anyone wanting to learn more about chemical
separation from an industrial point of view. The result is a
compelling survey of popular technologies and the profession, one
that brings the art and craft of chemical separation to life. Ever
wonder how popular separation technologies came about, how a
particular process functions, or how mass transfer units differ
from theoretical stages? Or perhaps you want some pointers on how
to begin solving a separation problem.  You will find clear
explanations and valuable insights into these and other aspects of
industrial practice in this refreshing new survey.
Exactly 450 years after the solemn closure of the Council of Trent
on 4 December 1563, scholars from diverse regional, disciplinary
and confessional backgrounds convened in Leuven to reflect upon the
impact of this Council, not only in Europe but also beyond. Their
conclusions are to be found in these three impressive volumes.
Bridging different generations of scholarship, the authors reassess
in a first volume Tridentine views on the Bible, theology and
liturgy, as well as their reception by Protestants, deconstructing
many myths surviving in scholarship and society alike. They also
deal with the mechanisms 'Rome' developed to hold a grip on the
Council's implementation. The second volume analyzes the changes in
local ecclesiastical life, initiated by bishops, orders and
congregations, and the political strife and confessionalisation
accompanying this reform process. The third and final volume
examines the afterlife of Trent in arts and music, as well as in
the global impact of Trent through missions.

The chapters in this volume contribute to recent scholarship
exploring the reform of worship as a central feature of Protestant
communities at their inception and through the ages. Case studies
ranging from sixteenth-century Geneva and its environs to the early
modern Netherlands and South Asia to nineteenth-century America
provide a corrective to traditional depictions of Reformed worship
as a static, sober, interior, and largely individual experience
focused on the sermon. The key moments in the broad stream of
Reformed worship traditions analysed by an international team of
experts yield collectively an image of the adaptive and negotiated
character of worship attitudes and practices over time and in
varied cultural settings. The contributions examine the phenomenon
of worship in broadly construed ways and from angles ranging from
ritual studies, liturgical innovation, material culture, and social
impact. A second 'red thread' running through the volume concerns
the material, sensory, emotional, and experiential dimensions of
Reformed religious culture. Worship emerges as both a site of
conflict and renewal in Reformed traditions, inspiring not only
confrontations and debates but also fruitful engagements that
stimulated and continue to invite reflection on this critical
category of Reformed faith traditions, self-understandings, and
cultural impact.
The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
(ALCTS) and the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) have
joined forces to develop a program designed to teach skills in
using Library of Congress Classification. This joint initiative is
a logical outgrowth of the missions of both organizations. As
reflected in their respective strategic plans, each has a strong
commitment to training and continuing education. The partnership to
create training programs in basic cataloging skills began with a
workshop on subject cataloging using Library of Congress Subject
Headings. This was followed by a workshop on name and title
authority work. In 2004, a task force was appointed to develop a
new workshop on Library of Congress Classification. The task force
was charged with: identifying the potential audience for the
material; evaluating existing materials; determining the
comprehensiveness of course materials...
The field of rehabilitation has undergone major change, shifting
toward an emphasis on health outcomes and understanding multiple
determinants of health. Person-centered care and evidence-based
medicine have become central considerations, and rehabilitation
psychologists are at the forefront of this modern, whole-person
approach. The handbook has been significantly updated to reflect
these new developments. Chapters address several core topics, such
as education and training in rehabilitation psychology,
competency-based practice, and fluctuating health policy.
Additional chapters cover the assessment and treatment of specific
health conditions, including chronic pain, acquired disability,
spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and amputation. This
edition also includes information about artificial intelligence,
virtual reality, public health, community rehabilitation, and other
innovations in health care. Contributors are not only visionaries
in the rehabilitation field but also expert practitioners in key
areas. They integrate their experience with empirical research,
highlight methodological advances, recommend best practices,
discuss policy implications, and identify possibilities for the
future. Both experienced clinicians and early-career practitioners
will find this book an invaluable resource for delivering effective
behavioral health care to people with chronic health conditions.
Vordenker der Moderne wie Thomas Hobbes, Baruch de Spinoza, James
Harrington, Christian Thomasius und viele mehr griffen in ihren
politischen Lehren oft auf das Modell des alten judischen
Gemeinwesens zuruck. Entscheidend beeinflusste sie dabei ein
Schrifttum (politia-judaica-Literatur), das in der zweiten Halfte
des 16. Jahrhunderts entstand und Moses Gesetze als politisches
Vorbild darstellte. Markus M. Totzeck legt die erste vollstandige
Untersuchung zur Entstehung dieser Literatur vor. Die antiken
ausserbiblischen Mose-Traditionen bilden den Hintergrund seiner
Arbeit. Diese Traditionen waren in der Fruhen Neuzeit zum ersten
Mal als Druckausgaben erschienen und hatten sich im
Renaissance-Humanismus mit Konzeptionen einer uralten Theologie und
Weisheit (prisca theologia bzw. prisca sapientia) des Mose
verbunden. Totzeck stellt heraus, wie Debatten uber die politische
Relevanz der mosaischen Gesetze spater in der Reformation zur
Entstehung der politia-judaica-Literatur beitrugen. Die ersten
Werke stammten aus der Feder humanistischer Gelehrter, die in
erster Linie ausgebildete Juristen und Historiographen waren,
zugleich aber auch einen mehrheitlich calvinistischen Hintergrund
hatten. Die Nahe zwischen humanistischer Jurisprudenz und dem
Calvinismus pragte die politia-judaica-Literatur in einer ersten
Phase bis zu Petrus Cunaeus Werk De republica Hebraeorum libri III
(1617). Die Verbreitung dieses Buchklassikers des 17. Jahrhunderts
fuhrte den ursprunglichen Rechtsdiskurs in umfangreichere
politische Diskussionen.
