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.

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.

Dignified Retreat is a panoramic study of the vibrant literary and intellectual culture that emerged in early seventeenth-century France following the devastating Wars of Religion. This was a period that not only witnessed the recovery of the country following these wars, and the emergence of a strong, 'absolutist' monarchy under the Bourbons, but also the rise and refinement of the French language and the development of a literary culture that would soon be known as French classicism. Casting his net over a wide range of writers and intellectuals, Robert A. Schneider has assembled a roster of more than 100 men and women of letters, those constituting what he calls the 'generation of 1630'. While diverse, and indeed divided between those who hewed to traditional humanism and others more attuned to 'modern' linguistic and literary developments, this cohort largely shared a commitment to a cultural renewal of France, its rise to prominence in the geopolitical arena of Europe, and the emergence of a strong centralized monarchy. They depended on both the traditional aristocracy and the king's powerful minister, Cardinal Richelieu. But despite this dependency, these writers and intellectuals maintained a degree of independence and, more significantly, were the prime movers in crucial cultural developments that are too often identified with royal initiatives. For example, the author demonstrates that the Academie francaise, founded in 1635 by Richelieu, often considered formative in French cultural history, was actually more the result of the creative initiatives of these men of letters, which the savvy Cardinal only managed to co-opt and turn to the purposes of the crown.

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.

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.
