Thinking Out of Sight - Writings on the Arts of the Visible (Hardcover): Jacques Derrida Thinking Out of Sight - Writings on the Arts of the Visible (Hardcover)
Jacques Derrida; Edited by Joana Maso, Ginette Michaud, Javier Bassas; Translated by Laurent Milesi
R1,180 Discovery Miles 11 800 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Jacques Derrida remains a leading voice of philosophy, his works still resonating today-and for more than three decades, one of the main sites of Derridean deconstruction has been the arts. Collecting nineteen texts spanning from 1979 to 2004, Thinking out of Sight brings to light Derrida's most inventive ideas about the making of visual artworks. The book is divided into three sections. The first demonstrates Derrida's preoccupation with visibility, image, and space. The second contains interviews and collaborations with artists on topics ranging from the politics of color to the components of painting. Finally, the book delves into Derrida's writings on photography, video, cinema, and theater, ending with a text published just before his death about his complex relationship to his own image. With many texts appearing for the first time in English, Thinking out of Sight helps us better understand the critique of representation and visibility throughout Derrida's work, and, most importantly, to assess the significance of his insights about art and its commentary.

Algebra and number theory have always been counted among the most beautiful and fundamental mathematical areas with deep proofs and elegant results. However, for a long time they were not considered of any substantial importance for real-life applications. This has dramatically changed with the appearance of new topics such as modern cryptography, coding theory, and wireless communication. Nowadays we find applications of algebra and number theory frequently in our daily life. We mention security and error detection for internet banking, check digit systems and the bar code, GPS and radar systems, pricing options at a stock market, and noise suppression on mobile phones as most common examples. This book collects the results of the workshops "Applications of algebraic curves" and "Applications of finite fields" of the RICAM Special Semester 2013. These workshops brought together the most prominent researchers in the area of finite fields and their applications around the world. They address old and new problems on curves and other aspects of finite fields, with emphasis on their diverse applications to many areas of pure and applied mathematics.

The earth's landscapes are being increasingly impacted by the activities of man. Unfortunately, we do not have a full understanding of the consequences of these disturbances on the earth's productive capacity. This problem was addressed by a group of French and U.S. ecologists who are specialists at levels of integration extending from genetics to the biosphere at a meeting at Stanford, California, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. With a few important exceptions it was found at this meeting that most man-induced disturbances of ecosystems can be viewed as large scale patterns of disturbances that have occurred, generally on a small scale, in ecosystems through evolutionary time. Man has induced dramatic large-scale changes in the environment which must be viewed at the biosphere level. Acid deposition and CO increase are two 2 examples of the consequences of man's increased utilization of fossil fuels. It is a matter of considerable concern that we cannot yet fully predict the ecological consequences of these environmental changes. Such problems must be addressed at the international level, yet substantive mechanisms to do this are not available."

Reproductive Allocation in Plants (Hardcover): Edward Reekie, F. A. Bazzaz Reproductive Allocation in Plants (Hardcover)

R2,293 Discovery Miles 22 930 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Much effort has been devoted to developing theories to explain the wide variation we observe in reproductive allocation among environments. Reproductive Allocation in Plants describes why plants differ in the proportion of their resources that they allocate to reproduction and looks into the various theories. This book examines the ecological and evolutionary explanations for variation in plant reproductive allocation from the perspective of the underlying physiological mechanisms controlling reproduction and growth. An international team of leading experts have prepared chapters summarizing the current state of the field and offering their views on the factors determining reproductive allocation in plants. This will be a valuable resource for senior undergraduate students, graduate students and researchers in ecology, plant ecophysiology, and population biology.
* 8 outstanding chapters dedicated to the evolution and ecology of variation in plant reproductive allocation
* Written by an international team of leading experts in the field
* Provides enough background information to make it accessible to senior undergraduate students
* Includes over 60 figures and 29 tables

"Imperial Geographies in Byzantine and Ottoman Space" opens new and insightful vistas on the nexus between empire and geography. The volume redirects attention from the Atlantic to the space of the eastern Mediterranean shaped by two empires of remarkable duration and territorial extent, the Byzantine and the Ottoman. The essays offer a diachronic and comparative account that spans the medieval and early modern periods and reaches into the nineteenth century. Methodologically rich, the essays combine historical, literary, and theoretical perspectives. Through texts as diverse as court records and chancery manuals, imperial treatises and fictional works, travel literature and theatrical adaptations, the essays explore ways in which the production of geographical knowledge supported imperial authority or revealed its precarious mastery of geography.

Combining Modern Communication Methods With Heritage Education (Hardcover): Lia Bassa Combining Modern Communication Methods With Heritage Education (Hardcover)

R6,023 Discovery Miles 60 230 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Cultural heritage has tremendous importance in human development. The communication of culture is determinant for society, whereas that of heritage can be a driving force for individual development. If cultural heritage is communicated and incorporated into the educational development of children from the very beginning, it will contribute to the formation of their entire lives and sustainable social development. Combining Modern Communication Methods With Heritage Education provides relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the area. It shows that heritage related to information provision is to be started at a very early age and continued by schools and later educational forms. Covering topics such as cultural heritage, world heritage education, and indigenous archives, this premier reference work is an essential resource for educators and administrators of both K-12 and higher education, pre-service teachers, teacher educators, sociologists, anthropologists, business leaders and executives, marketers, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

In 1894, on the eve of the French conquest of Morocco, a young Muslim mystic named Muhammad al-Kattani decided to abandon his life of asceticism to preach Islamic revival and jihad against the French. Ten years later, al-Kattani mobilized a socially diverse coalition of Moroccans who called for resistance against French colonization.

In 1909, he met a violent death at the hands of the same Moroccan anti-colonialists he had empowered through his activism. Today, the government of Morocco regards al-Kattani's story as subversive, and he has virtually disappeared from the narratives of the early Moroccan anti-colonialism and nationalism. Despite this silencing, al-Kattani's remarkable personal transformation and sacrifice is at the heart of the events that, although ultimately failing to prevent French rule, gave birth to Moroccan nationalism and to modern concepts of Moroccan political power and authority.

"Forgotten Saints and Silenced Mystics" draws on a diverse collection of previously unknown primary sources to narrate the vivid story of al-Kattani and his virtual disappearance from accounts of modern Moroccan history.

In addition to hypercholesterolaemia and smoking, hypertension, a chronic disease with many cardiovascular complications, is one of the major risk factors for cardiac ischemia, and the main risk factor for cerebrovascular disease. To elucidate the role of oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in hypertension and the effect of different medical therapies on these parameters.The present study included measurement of serum lipid profile, total lipid peroxidation and oxidized HDL ( Ox-HDL)in 69 patients aged 30-70 years . They were three groups according to the type of therapy: atenelol, captopril & no pharmacological antihypertensives NPAHT. The results were compared with those of 45 apparently healthy controls(age range=30-66 years). The results showed a significant elevation in serum MDA and the OX.non-HDL % with a significant reduction in the reduction in the OX.HDL % as compared to the controls. The disturbance in the oxidant / antioxidant balance happened despite the treatment and blood pressure control showing different pictures with different modalities of treatment, being the best with the captopril.

Nowadays many countries, including least developed ones, are decentralizing their educational management system to district and local levels with the aim of providing better service; improving quality, access, and efficiency as well as sharing cost of education. Ethiopia has also decentralized its educational management system by giving due considerations to the expected benefits out of it. However, effectiveness in achieving the above mentioned objectives of decentralized educational management calls for effective and efficient planning and management capacity; and adequate system resources at local level. With this in view, this book assessed the factors related to managerial practices affecting the effectiveness of decentralized duties and responsibilities at DEOs in SNNPR, Ethiopia. Therefore, it is my belief that this book will be of the benefit for the researchers, practitioners, planners and decision makers who are working in decentralized educational management system in Ethiopia and in any other developing countries.
