Recent developments in advanced ceramics are critically evaluated
in respect to their thermal shock and thermal fatigue behavior from
an interdisciplinary viewpoint by leading experts. The book covers
the aspects of material development, mechanical and fracture
mechanical models and experimental testing methods. Special
emphasis is given to the influence of a rising crack resistance on
the thermal shock behavior, novel irradiation testing methods for a
quantitative characterization of the thermal shock and fatigue
loading as well as detailed fracture mechanical models for single
and multiple crack propagation. This book summarizes developments
of the last decade concerning the thermal shock and thermal fatigue
behavior of advanced ceramics. The scientific articles of the book
were carefully arranged in order to achieve a textbook-like form
which will be of great value to researchers and students.

How the "traffic in culture" is practiced, rationalized and
experienced by visual artists in the globalized world. The book
focuses on artistic practices in the appropriation of indigenous
cultures, and the construction of new Latin American identities.
Appropriation is the fundamental theoretical concept developed to
understand these processes.
This book makes a major contribution to the current debate on
globalization, and more precisely to the question of how the
"traffic in culture" is practiced, rationalized and experienced by
visual artists. The book focuses on artistic practices in the
appropriation of indigenous cultures, and the construction of new
Latin American identities. Appropriation is the fundamental
theoretical concept developed to understand these processes.
This book presents a coherent state-of-the-art survey on the area
of systematic and cognitive musicology which has enjoyed dynamic
growth now for many years. It is devoted to exploring the
relationships between acoustics, human information processing, and
culture as well as to methodological issues raised by the
widespread use of computers as a powerful tool for theory
construction, theory testing, and the manipulation of musical
information or any kind of data manipulation related to music. The
book comes with a CD providing sound examples for various chapters;
it contains a comprehensive name and subject index and the
following chapters: Gestalt theory revisited, from pitch to
harmony, from rhythm to expectation, from timbre to texture, from
musical expression to interactive computer systems.

Basic Statistics for Social Workers, now in a revised edition, was
developed by Schneider after teaching statistics to undergraduate
and graduate social work students for over ten years. The
statistical concepts that are necessary for students to know are
covered, ranging from simple descriptive statistics such as
crosstabs and tabular data up to a limited discussion of multiple
regression. The text is written simply for students who may not
have a strong quantitative background. The text is simple enough
that with the practice problems and perhaps a little consultation a
motivated student could self-teach the content.
Charts the long history of resentment, from its emergence to its
establishment as the word of the moment. The term "resentment,"
often casually paired with words like "hatred," "rage," and "fear,"
has dominated US news analysis since November 2016. Despite its
increased use, this word seems to defy easy categorization. Does
"resentment" describe many interlocking sentiments, or is it just
another way of saying "anger"? Does it suggest an irrational
grievance, as opposed to a legitimate callout of injustice? Does it
imply political leanings, or is it nonpartisan by nature? In The
Return of Resentment, Robert A. Schneider explores these questions
and more, moving from eighteenth-century Britain to the aftermath
of the French Revolution to social movements throughout the
twentieth century. Drawing on a wide range of writers, thinkers,
and historical experiences, Schneider illustrates how resentment
has morphed across time, coming to express a collective sentiment
felt by people and movements across the political spectrum. In this
history, we discover resentment's modernity and its ambiguity-how
it can be used to dismiss legitimate critique and explain away
violence, but also convey a moral stance that demands recognition.
Schneider anatomizes the many ways resentment has been used to
label present-day movements, from followers of Trump and supporters
of Brexit to radical Islamicists and proponents of identity
politics. Addressing our contemporary political situation in a
novel way, The Return of Resentment challenges us to think
critically about the roles different emotions play in politics.
The Theory Primer: A Sociological Guide is both a classical theory
text and a practical guide to theorizing, making it ideal for
sociology majors or graduate students new to the field. Schneider
presents theories drawn from Marx, Weber, Durkheim, and Mead, among
others, offering rigorous evaluations that examine the research
traditions that arose from them and the paradigms that continue to
produce theories today. The book's goal is to align the study of
theory with the skills orientation of methods and statistics
courses, because the ability to theorize is of great use not only
in sociology but in occupational and public life.
This book covers recent developments and possible pitfalls in the
diagnosis of genetic movement disorders and related conditions. It
is divided into three sections: technical and scientific aspects;
clinical aspects with guidance towards work-up; and ethical and
legal aspects of genetic testing in a clinical and research
setting. The first section includes chapters on genetic analysis
and counselling with critical discussion of potential problems when
interpreting the results. Clinical chapters summarize genetic forms
of movement disorders including parkinsonism, tics and dystonia
with algorithms for hands-on daily practice. Related conditions
such as RLS, ataxias and dementias are also covered. Finally,
chapters on ethical and legal aspects of genetic testing are
included. Movement Disorder Genetics is aimed at clinicians and
scientists working in the field of movement disorders and related
conditions.

An examination of kings' courts and lords' courts in Normandy that
opens a new chapter in the debate over absolutism, sovereignty, and
the nature of the state in early modern France. Hidden deep in the
countryside of France lay early modern Europe's largest
bureaucracy: twenty- to thirty-thousand royal bailiwick and
seigneurial courts that served more than eighty-five percent of the
king's subjects. The crowncourts and lords' courts were far more
than arenas of litigation, in the modern sense. They had become the
nexus of local governance by the middle of the seventeenth century,
a rich breeding ground for men who controlled the villages, towns,
and bailiwicks of France. Yet even as the centralizing state was
reaching its zenith under Louis XIV, the king's largest permanent
bureaucracy became increasingly alienated and cut adrift from the
crown, many decades before the French Revolution. In The King's
Bench, Zoe Schneider vividly brings to life the teeming world of
the local courts, with their magistrates and jailers, townspeople
and peasants. Together they contested that vital border where the
private world of families and property collided with the public
commonwealth. Schneider chronicles the transformation of local
governance after the mid-seventeenth century, as judges and their
courts became the face of public order in the countryside. With
this richly detailed local study of Normandy in the seventeenth and
early-eighteenth centuries, Zoe Schneider opens a new chapter in
the debate over absolutism, sovereignty, and the nature of the
state in early modern France. Zoe A. Schneider has taught at
Georgetown University and with the Smithsonian Institution in
Washington, D.C.

Die Arbeiten zur Gewinnung von Leinengeweben sind bei den sehr
mannig fachen Verwendungszwecken der letzteren recht verschieden.
Daher kommt es, daB streng voneinander verschiedene
Fabrikationszweige entstanden sind, die in besonderen selbstandigen
Werken betrieben werden. Nur einzelne groBere und groBte
Betriebsstatten widmen sich der gleichzeitigen Herstellung
verschiedener Fabrikationstypen, wobei aber fast stets eine
Hauptgruppe vorwiegt und die Erzeugnisse der anderen mehr nebenbei
geschaffen werden. So entwickelte sich als selbstandiger Zweig der
Fabrikation die Herstellung der leichteren Leinengewebe in ihren
auBerordentlich zahlreichen Sorten, die vielfach wieder unter sich
spezialisiert sind. Ferner die Gebildweberei, die in
Sonderbetrieben auf eine hohe Stufe der Entwicklung gebracht wurde,
die Taschentuchweberei, die sich in Deutschland als eine der
wenigen export fahigen Branchen ausbildete, und endlich die Sch
werwe berei, die eine statt liche Anzahl von Vertretern zu
verzeichnen hat. In diesem Bande werden diese Zweige der
Leinenweberei wohl zum ersten Male eingehend dargestellt. Da in
vielen Punkten groBe Ahnlichkeit bzw. Gleichartigkeit mit der
Herstellung von Baumwollgeweben besteht, bildet dieser Teilband
zugleich eine Erganzung zum Bande IV j2B dieses Handbuches (Baum
wolle); in einzelnen Abschnitten (z. B. Taschentuchweberei) ist die
Gewinnung des Baumwollgewebes - das he ute in diesem Zweige
vielleicht 95% der Pro duktion ausmacht - gleichzeitig eingehend
beschrieben. Da trotz aller Gemein samkeit der allgemeinen
technischen Verfahren fur eine vollig fachgemaBe Darstellung sehr
spezielle Kenntnisse notwendig sind, wurde jedes fur sich ab
geschlossene Gebiet von einem Sonderfachmann behandelt, ferner sind
fur das betr. Gewebe wichtige Nachbehandlungsweisen - wie das
Impragnieren der Schwergewebe - eingehend erortert."
Die bei der Hauttuberkulose mit der Sauerbruch-Herrmanns
dorfer-Gerson-Kost erzielten ausgezeichneten Erfolge sichern der
Diatbehandlung mit den wichtigsten Platz bei der Bekampfung dieser
Erkrankung. Wennsich bisher diese Kostform nur in einzel. nen
wenigen Krankenanstalten hat durchsetzen konnen, so ist der Grund
hierfur wohl darin zu sehen, daB sie einer besonders liebe vollen
und aufmerksamen Zubereitung bedarf, und daB ferner die notige
Abwechslung ohne genugende Kenntnisse nicht selten Schwierigkeiten
bereitet. Bei der Durchfuhrung der Sauerbruch
Herrmannsdorfer-Gerson-Diat in der Berliner Universitats-Haut
klinik hatten wir das Gluck, in der die Zentralkuche der Charite
leitenden Oberschwester Johanna Schneider eine verstandnis volle
Mitarbeiterin zu finden, die nicht nur auf jeden unserer Wiinsche
bereitwilligst einging, sondern auch selbst wertvolle Anregungen
fur die Zusammensetzung und wirtschaftliche Zu bereitung gab. Da
ich weiB, welche Schwierigkeiten nicht nur fur Privathaus halte,
sondern auch fiir manche Krankenanstalten bestehen, diese Kostform
in schmackhafter und zweckmaBiger Weise durchzu fuhren, so habe ich
es mit besonderer Freude begruBt, daB Ober schwester Johanna
Schneider sich entschlossen hat, die in der Zentralkuche der
Charite gemachten Erfahrungen einem groBeren Kreise zuganglich zu
machen, und ich hoffe, daB auf diese Weise die
Sauerbruch-Herrmannsdorfer-Gerson-Diat bei der Behandlung der
Hauttuberkulose diejenige allgemeine Verbreitung finden wird, die
sie meiner Ansicht nach bisher nur aus auBeren Grunden nicht
erreichen konnte. Franz Blumenthal. Vorwort."
