The aim of this book is to consider what reasonably follows from
the hypothesis that the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus can be
interpreted from a mystical point of view. Atkinson intends to
elucidate Wittgenstein's thoughts on the mystical in his early
writings as they pertain to a number of topics such as, God, the
meaning of life, reality, the eternal and the solipsistic self.

A Cross-National Study of Adolescent Self-Image Adolescence is not,
as has been previously assumed, a developmental stage that was
defined after the industrial revolution. There is substan tial
historical evidence to suggest that adolescence and youth, as a
stage, was recognized by the ancient Romans, Greeks, and even Egyp
tians. The concept survived through the Dark Ages. In Le Grand Pro
prietaire, written in 1556, it is stated: "The third age, which is
called adolescence, . . . ends in the twenty-first year . . . and
it can go on till thirty or thirty-five. The age is called
adolescence because the person is big enough to beget children. In
this age the limbs are soft and able to grow and receive strength
and vigor from natural heat" (Aries, 1962, p. 21). The span of
years devoted to adolescent development varies in different
cultures and with different definitions. The term adolescence is no
longer equivalent to pubescence. "Adolescence" is a psycho
social-biological stage of development that corresponds to changes
in many areas which accompany the transition from childhood to
adult hood. The working definition of adolescence we use is the
stage of life that starts with puberty and ends at the time when
the person has attained a reasonable degree of independence from
his parents. Once in high school or its equivalent, the vast
majority of teenagers have al ready undergone the biological
changes of puberty."

Microsoft SQL Server
The 2012 release of Microsoft SQL Server changes how you develop
applications for SQL Server. With this comprehensive resource, SQL
Server authority Robert Vieira presents the fundamentals of
database design and SQL concepts, and then shows you how to apply
these concepts using the updated SQL Server. Publishing time and
date with the 2012 release, "Beginning Microsoft SQL Server 2012
Programming" begins with a quick overview of database design basics
and the SQL query language and then quickly proceeds to show you
how to implement the fundamental concepts of Microsoft SQL Server
2012.
You'll explore the key additions and changes to this newest
version, including conditional action constructs, enhanced controls
for results paging, application integration with SharePoint and
Excel, and development of BI applications.Covers new features such
as SQL Azure for cloud computing, client-connectivity enhancements,
security and compliance, data replication, and data warehouse
performance improvements Addresses essential topics including
managing keys, writing scripts, and working with store procedures
Shares helpful techniques for creating and changing tables,
programming with XML, and using SQL Server Reporting and
Integration Services
"Beginning Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Programming" demystifies
even the most difficult challenges you may face with the new
version of Microsoft SQL Server.
The experience of active management of patients in the intensive
care unit of a busy district general hospital has convinced us of
the value of team work which, allied to enthusiasm and clinical
expertise, provides the recipe for success. It is in this spirit
that the present volume has been written and the authors are
grateful to their colleagues who have given advice. In some cases
this has been extended to the compilation of a special chapter and
we are indebted to Dr. Dathan, Dr. Layton and Dr. Rushman for their
contributions. In this book we have attempted to set down the
principles of intensive care as they concern the typical ~istrict
general hospital without specialist units or the back up of
research departments. In doing this we have tried to maintain
simplicity and to give practical advice. The book is not aimed at
the specialist in intensive care who can draw on his own extensive
experience, but rather at the junior doctor who takes his tum
working in the intensive care unit. In particular we have
considered the needs of those who require some information outside
the parent speciality. We are also aware than in many British
hospitals consultants assume a duty responsibility for patients in
intensive care units and we hope that the information in this
volume may be of some help to them. Trained nurses should also find
this book ofvalue.
Stereoselective Synthesis Robert S. Atkinson University of
Leicester, Leicester. UK Stereoselective Synthesis considers the
methods available for the synthesis of simple target molecules, the
majority containing not more than two chiral centres, as single
stereoisomers. This volume focuses on the factors which give rise
to the stereoselectivity and classifies stereoselective reactions
accordingly. This classification, and the extensive use of 3-D
representations, enables the student to understand the
stereochemistry of these reactions and hence apply them to the
synthesis of previously unseen target molecules as single
stereoisomers. Stereoselective Synthesis presents:
- a new, unique, simplified classification for stereoselective
reactions based on the number of chiral centres created in the
product by comparison with the number present in the starting
material
- coverage of the majority of important reaction types used in
modern stereoselective synthesis
- a detailed analysis of factors which bring about asymmetric
induction: the interplay between steric and electronic effects, the
importance of conformational control and the advantages of
intramolecularity in reactions
- emphasis on synthesis of simple target molecules and on those
steps which involve stereochemistry
- realistic 3-D representations of transition states in which
stereoselectivity is created
- stereochemical vocabulary in accordance with IUPAC rules
Stereoselective Synthesis is an invaluable aid not only to students
in understanding this important area but also to those actively
engaged in the syntheses of target molecules as single
stereoisomers.
In The Roots of Ethnicity, Ronald R. Atkinson argues that although
colonial rule and its aftermath have played a major role in shaping
the particular manifestations of ethnicity in Africa, many
sociohistorical developments crucial to current expressions of
ethnicity can be traced to a past long before the colonial period.
Atkinson develops his argument through an exhaustive examination of
the origins of the collective identity of the Acholi of present-day
northern Uganda. His study makes clear that by the time of European
conquest the essential foundations and the crucial parameters for
the evolution of Acholi society and ethnic consciousness had long
been established. In presenting his argument for the need to extend
the existing scholarship on ethnicity in Africa beyond its
twentieth-century focus, Atkinson provides what is perhaps the most
detailed reconstruction and analysis yet available of the pre-1800
evolution of an African sociopolitical order. Beyond these
contributions to the study of African history, The Roots of
Ethnicity provides an extended case study in and a convincing
argument for the use of oral sources in the reconstruction and
interpretation of the African past. It will be of interest to
students and scholars of anthropology, history, and African
studies, as well as to all those interested in ethnicity and the
politics of identity.
Second of 2 volumes, see [13]. This volume contains a translation
and very full notes. The first edition is based on two
eleventh-century manuscripts: Dublin, Trinity College, MS 1441
[formerly E.4.2]; and one then in Dublin, Franciscan Friary,
Merchant's Quay. This latter MS[Dillon A2] is now in the Franciscan
Library, Killiney, County Dublin, whither it was transferred in
1946. The collections to which the MSS bear witness are antiquarian
rather than liturgical compilations and probably owe their
existence to the drive to safeguard cultural monuments in the
aftermath of the Norse invasions. Trinity College 1441 is datable
to the 11th Century, but the texts, in Irish and Latin, appear to
date from the 5th to the 8th centuries. The edition is presented
with extensive notes and a glossary. See Kenney n. 574; CLLA 177;
BCLL, nn. 542-564, 578-591.
