Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain

Nationalism and Decolonisation in Singapore analyses Singapore’s
decolonisation movement between 1953-63 and provides a framework to
understand the deepest and most important unresolved conflicts in
Singaporean society. This book demonstrates how these conflicts
stem from four unresolved schisms dating from the decolonisation
period: race, class, language, and the meaning of
self-determination. The author argues that these schisms drove the
events of decolonisation, the creation of Malaysia, and
Singapore’s separation, and continue to actively shape Singapore
today. Using contemporary English- and Chinese-language sources
from a wide array of perspectives, as well as numerous declassified
official documents, this book provides a new approach to the most
formative period of Singapore history. It explains in detail the
different ideologies, institutions, and conflicts which shaped
Singaporean politics and society during decolonisation. In
particular, the book focuses on the leaders of the main groups
which most heavily influenced Singapore's anti-colonial nationalism
– the Chinese-speaking, the working class, and left-wing
intellectuals. It looks at Singapore in the context of global
movements of nationalism, socialism, and decolonisation, and
provides a framework which can offer insight into similar attempts
by post-colonial governments to construct new nation-states from
plural societies. A novel study of Singapore’s independence
struggle that incorporates and analyses multiple linguistic,
socioeconomic, and political viewpoints, the book will be of
interest to researchers of Southeast Asian History and Politics,
and those interested in decolonisation, nationalism, identity, and
the politics of race, class, and language.
This book is a self-contained, practical introduction how to use
FeatureIDE for modeling and implementing variable systems. In
particular, readers learn how to analyze domains using feature
models, specify requirements in form of configurations, and how to
generate code based on conditional compilation and feature-oriented
programming. Given the interactive style of the book, readers can
directly try out the open-source development environment. All code
examples are available in the standard distribution on GitHub and
can immediately been used for individual modifications. Each part
of the book is presented as a step-by-step tutorial and
additionally illustrated using an ongoing example of elevator
control software written in Java. Written by the core development
team of FeatureIDE, this book is suitable for students using a tool
for deepening the theoretical foundations of variability modeling
and implementation, and as a reference for practitioners needing a
stable and scalable tool for industrial applications. FeatureIDE is
the most used open-source tool for feature modeling and has been
continuously improved since 2004. The success of FeatureIDE is due
to being a vehicle for cutting-edge product-line research by still
providing an easy-to-use and seamless integration into Eclipse.
For 250 years, the Turkic Muslims of Altishahr the vast desert
region to the northwest of Tibet have led an uneasy existence under
Chinese rule. Today they call themselves Uyghurs, and they have
cultivated a sense of history and identity that challenges Beijing
s official national narrative. Rian Thum argues that the roots of
this history run deeper than recent conflicts, to a time when
manuscripts and pilgrimage dominated understandings of the past.
Beyond broadening our knowledge of tensions between the Uyghurs and
the Chinese government, this meditation on the very concept of
history probes the limits of human interaction with the past.
Uyghur historical practice emerged from the circulation of books
and people during the Qing Dynasty, when crowds of pilgrims
listened to history readings at the tombs of Islamic saints. Over
time, amid long journeys and moving rituals, at oasis markets and
desert shrines, ordinary readers adapted community-authored
manuscripts to their own needs. In the process they created a
window into a forgotten Islam, shaped by the veneration of local
saints.
Partly insulated from the rest of the Islamic world, the
Uyghurs constructed a local history that is at once unique and
assimilates elements of Semitic, Iranic, Turkic, and Indic
traditions the cultural imports of Silk Road travelers. Through
both ethnographic and historical analysis, The Sacred Routes of
Uyghur History" offers a new understanding of Uyghur historical
practices, detailing the remarkable means by which this people
reckons with its past and confronts its nationalist aspirations in
the present day."
Der Band widmet sich der Frage, wie sich europäische Romantiken im
Zeitraum zwischen ca. 1790 und 1850 mit ökologischen Theoremen und
umweltbezogenen Problembereichen auseinandersetzen. Die Aufsätze
dieses interdisziplinären Sammelbandes untersuchen dabei
insbesondere den spezifischen Beitrag, den die Künste bei der
Ausgestaltung und Formierung eines modernen ökologischen Denkens
leisten, das seit Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts Gestalt annimmt, in den
1860er Jahren mit Ernst Haeckels Definition der ‚Ökologie‘
terminologisch grundiert wird und bis heute unser Verständnis von
ökologischen Zusammenhängen prägt. Der Band bereichert auf diese
Weise die bereits lebendige Forschungslandschaft der Environmental
Humanities im Allgemeinen, des Romantic Ecocriticism im Speziellen
und fragt mit Blick auf die ‚Romantischen Ökologien‘ nicht nur
nach der Diversität und den konfliktreichen Bruchlinien
ökologischer Denkformen um 1800, sondern auch nach dem
Stellenwert, dem Eigen- und möglicherweise Mehrwert des
Ästhetischen sowie, damit verknüpft, nach der Rolle des
Romantischen für die Entstehung, Reflexion und Transformation
eines ökologischen Denkens.
Completely revised and updated third edition of Lee's Ophthalmic
Histopathology, this well-illustrated and practically-oriented text
has retained its general layout and style and division into
specimen-based chapters. The visual image remains key to explaining
the pathological processes - facilitated by full colour photography
throughout the text. The text and illustrations are also provided
as a searchable CD-ROM. The book emphasizes pertinent recent
advances, particularly in the molecular basis of disease and in the
diagnosis and classification of tumours. including improvements in
immunohistochemistry and cytogenetic and molecular biological
studies. This book is an invaluable source of reference for
ophthalmic pathologists, general pathologists and ophthalmologists.
Wissenschaftler und Stottertherapeuten stellen gemeinsam die
aktuellen und gesicherten Erkenntnisse zu Redeflussstoerungen
(Stottern und Poltern) vor. Sie zeigen, dass Stottern in hohem
Masse erblich ist, mit strukturellen und funktionellen
Hirnveranderungen einhergeht und ein neurologisches Stoerungsbild
darstellt. Sie raumen auf mit der Vorstellung, dass Stottern durch
fruhkindliche Erfahrungen hervorgerufen wird: Eltern eines
stotternden Kindes haben in der sprachlichen Erziehung nichts
falsch gemacht. Die Autoren benennen Therapien, die Stottern
beseitigen oder zumindest mindern koennen, und Therapien, die
popular sein moegen, aber nicht wirken. Das Buch ist ein
hilfreicher Ratgeber fur Betroffene, ein umfangreiches
Nachschlagewerk fur Stottertherapeuten und eine massgebliche
Leitlinie fur AErzte.
With the stroke of a pen at the Potsdam Conference following the
Allied victory in 1945, Breslau, the largest German city east of
Berlin, became the Polish city of Wroclaw. Its more than six
hundred thousand inhabitants--almost all of them ethnic
Germans--were expelled and replaced by Polish settlers from all
parts of prewar Poland. "Uprooted" examines the long-term
psychological and cultural consequences of forced migration in
twentieth-century Europe through the experiences of Wroclaw's
Polish inhabitants.
In this pioneering work, Gregor Thum tells the story of how the
city's new Polish settlers found themselves in a place that was not
only unfamiliar to them but outright repellent given Wroclaw's
Prussian-German appearance and the enormous scope of wartime
destruction. The immediate consequences were an unstable society,
an extremely high crime rate, rapid dilapidation of the building
stock, and economic stagnation. This changed only after the city's
authorities and a new intellectual elite provided Wroclaw with a
Polish founding myth and reshaped the city's appearance to fit the
postwar legend that it was an age-old Polish city. Thum also shows
how the end of the Cold War and Poland's democratization triggered
a public debate about Wroclaw's "amputated memory." Rediscovering
the German past, Wroclaw's Poles reinvented their city for the
second time since World War II.
"Uprooted" traces the complex historical process by which
Wroclaw's new inhabitants revitalized their city and made it their
own.
