The processes and consequences of climate change are extremely
heterogeneous, encompassing many different fields of study. Dr
David Rind in his career at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space
Studies and as a professor at Columbia University has had the
opportunity to explore many of these subjects with colleagues from
these diverse disciplines. It was therefore natural for the
Lectures in Climate Change series to begin with his colleagues
contributing lectures on their specific areas of expertise.This
first volume, entitled Our Warming Planet: Topics in Climate
Dynamics, encompasses topics such as natural and anthropogenic
climate forcing, climate modeling, radiation, clouds, atmospheric
dynamics/storms, hydrology, clouds, the cryosphere, paleoclimate,
sea level rise, agriculture, atmospheric chemistry, and climate
change education. Included with this publication are downloadable
PowerPoint slides of each lecture for students and teachers around
the world to be better able to understand various aspects of
climate change.The lectures on climate change processes and
consequences provide snapshots of the cutting-edge work being done
to understand what may well be the greatest challenge of our time,
in a form suitable for classroom presentation.
Exploring thirty years of work by The Centre for Performance
Research (CPR), A Performance Cosmology explores the future
challenges of performance and theatre through a diverse and
fascinating series of interviews, testimonies and perspectives from
leading international theatre practitioners and academics.
Contributors include: Philip Auslander, Rustom Bharucha, Tim
Etchells, Jane Goodall, Guillermo Gomez-Pena, Jon Mckenzie, Claire
MacDonald, Susan Melrose, Alphonso Lingis, Richard Schechner,
Rebecca Schneider, Edward Scheer, and Freddie Rokem.
A Performance Cosmology is structured as a travelogue through a
matrix of strategic, imaginary, interdisciplinary field stations.
This innovative framework enables readings which disrupt linearity
and afford different forms of thematic engagement. The resulting
volume opens entirely new vistas on the old, new, and as yet
unimagined, worlds of performance.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th
International Conference on Web Engineering, ICWE 2013, held in
Aalborg, Denmark, in July 2013. The 21 full research papers, 4
industry papers, and 11 short papers presented were carefully
reviewed and selected from 92 submissions. The scientific program
was completed with 7 workshops, 6 demonstrations and posters. The
papers cover a wide spectrum of topics, such as, among others: web
mining and knowledge extraction, semantic and linked data
management, crawling and web research, model-driven web
engineering, component-based web engineering, Rich Internet
Applications (RIAs) and client-side programming, web services, and
end-user development.
Nowadays, Web applications are almost omnipresent. The Web has
become a platform not only for information delivery, but also for
eCommerce systems, social networks, mobile services, and
distributed learning environments. Engineering Web applications
involves many intrinsic challenges due to their distributed nature,
content orientation, and the requirement to make them available to
a wide spectrum of users who are unknown in advance. The authors
discuss these challenges in the context of well-established
engineering processes, covering the whole product lifecycle from
requirements engineering through design and implementation to
deployment and maintenance. They stress the importance of models in
Web application development, and they compare well-known
Web-specific development processes like WebML, WSDM and OOHDM to
traditional software development approaches like the waterfall
model and the spiral model. .

In this atlas, sequential anatomical dissections are presented
which show each component of the nose in unprecedented meticulous
detail. Anatomical photographs are often paired with anatomical
drawings and even intraoperative clinical photographs to illustrate
each part of the nose. Rhinoplasty: An Anatomical and Clinical
Atlas, provides an in-depth understanding of nasal anatomy and a
wide variety of operative techniques. In rhinoplasty surgery, the
surgeon must understand the tight linkage between surface
aesthetics, underlying anatomy, and selection of operative
techniques. The underlying anatomy is only revealed to a limited
degree at the time of surgery and the surgeon must then adapt the
operative plan to fit the actual anatomy observed in the operating
room to achieve the patient's desired aesthetic result. Ultimately,
the goal of this atlas is to allow the surgeon to see the operative
techniques in both cadavers and clinical cases which represents the
best possible learning approach.
Path-breaking research on women and literacy in the past decade
established conventions and advanced innovative methods that push
the making of knowledge into new spheres of inquiry. Taking these
accomplishments as a point of departure, this volume emphasizes the
diversity -- of approaches and subjects -- that characterizes the
next generation of research on women and literacy. It builds on and
critiques scholarship in literacy studies, composition studies,
rhetorical theory, gender studies, postcolonial theory, and
cultural studies to open new venues for future research.
& nbsp;
Contributors discuss what literacy is -- more precisely, what
literacies are -- but their strongest interest is in documenting
and theorizing women ' s lived experience of these literacies, with
particular attention to:
*the diversity of women ' s literacies within the U.S., including
but not limited to the varying relations that exist among women,
literacy, economic position, class, race, sexuality, and education;
*relations among women, literacy, and economic contexts in the
U.S. and abroad, including but not limited to changes in women ' s
private and domestic literacies, the evolution of technologies of
literacy, and women ' s experience of the commodification of
literacies; and
*emergent roles of women and literacy in a globally interdependent
world.
& nbsp;
This broad, significant work is a must-read for researchers and
graduate students across the fields of literacy studies,
composition studies, rhetorical theory, and gender studies.
