The Encyclopedia of Percussion is an extensive guide to percussion
instruments, organized for research as well as general knowledge.
Focusing on idiophones and membranophones, it covers in detail both
Western and non-Western percussive instruments. These include not
only instruments whose usual sound is produced percussively (like
snare drums and triangles), but those whose usual sound is produced
concussively (like castanets and claves) or by friction (like the
cuica and the lion's roar). The expertise of contributors have been
used to produce a wide-ranging list of percussion topics. The
volume includes: (1) an alphabetical listing of percussion
instruments and terms from around the world; (2) an extensive
section of illustrations of percussion instruments; (3) thirty-five
articles covering topics from Basel drumming to the xylophone; (4)
a list of percussion symbols; (5) a table of percussion instruments
and terms in English, French, German, and Italian; and (6) an
updated section of published writings on methods for percussion.
Euro-Krise, EZB, WAhrungsunion, Rettungsschirm. Begriffe wie diese
begegnen Ihnen tAglich in den Medien. Doch was bedeuten sie
konkret? Wie funktioniert eine WAhrungsunion und welche Probleme
bringt sie mit sich? Wie kam es zur Euro-Krise? Wie hat die Politik
reagiert? Welche Wege gibt es dort hinaus und wie sollen sie
funktionieren? Hanno Beck und Aloys Prinz erklAren den Euro und die
Euro-Krise fundiert und wunderbar verstAndlich. So kAnnen Sie sich
in Zukunft selbst ein Bild von der Lage und der Zukunft der
Euro-Zone machen und Rettungspakete, Schuldenbremse,
Vergemeinschaftung von Schulden und andere Politiken besser
bewerten.

Konjunktur- und Wachstumsmodelle. Sie bringen Ihnen das Geld und
seine makroAkonomische Bedeutung nAher und zeigen Ihnen, wie die
Volkswirtschaftliche Gesamtrechnung aufgebaut ist. Dabei lassen sie
auch kritische Fragestellungen nicht auA en vor, so dass Sie dieses
Buch umfassend A1/4ber MakroAkonomik informiert und gleichzeitig zu

Mucosal Health in Aquaculture is an essential reference on mucosal
health for the diverse aquaculture community. Rich in explanatory
figures and schematics, the book includes important concepts such
as structural and cellular composition of mucosal surfaces in fish
and shellfish, known functional roles of molecular and cellular
actors during pathogen invasion, impacts of nutrition on the
mucosal barriers, impacts of chemical treatments on mucosal
surfaces, mucosal vaccines and vaccination strategies, and more.
The health of cultured aquaculture species is critical in
establishing the sustainable growth of the aquaculture industry
worldwide, and mucosal health is of particular interest to those
working in aquaculture because mucosal surfaces (skin, gill,
intestine, reproductive tissues) constitute the first line of
defense against pathogen invasion. Mucosal Health in Aquaculture
captures the latest research on mucosal barriers in aquaculture
species and their impacts on nutrition and immunity to ensure
sustainable aquaculture development.
Nach dem 2. Weltkrieg haben Unfallverletzungen in Fabriken und
Gewerbebetrieben, beim Hoch-und Tief bau, im Verkehr, beim Sport
und im Haushalt trotz aller Schutzvorkehrungen
(VerhiitungsmaBnahmen) von J ahr zu J ahr in ungeahntem AusmaB an
Zahl und Schwere zugenommen. Etwa ein Drittel der Betten in
Chirurgischen Kliniken und Krankenhausabteilungen sind mit
Unfallverletzten belegt. Die absolute Zahl der Unfalle wird - wenn
auch nicht so erheblich wie in den letzten Jahren - auch in der
Zukunft noch steigen. Nicht a1lein diese Tatsachen, sondern auch
die Wand lung in der Behandlung von Unfallverletzten von den
friiher weitgehend konservativen MaBnahmen zu einem jetzt haufiger
operativen Vorgehen haben zu einer in tensiveren Beschaftigung
zahlreicher Chirurgen mit der U nfa1lchirurgie und damit zu einer
Spezialisierung gefiihrt. Bei aller Spezialisierung muB aber die
Unfall chirurgie schon im Hinblick auf ihre eigene Entwicklung ein
integrierter Bestandteil im Rahmen der Gesamt chirurgie und jeder
chirurgischen Ausbildung von Stu denten und Assistenten bleiben.
Die Leiter von unfallchirurgischen Abteilungen in deutschen
Universitatskliniken haben sich - wie ich glaube erfolgreich
-bemiiht, fiir den Unterricht und fiir das praktische Arbeiten von
Studenten und Assistenten in der Traumatologie ein einheitliches
Skriptum zu schaffen, in dem die Grundziige unfa1lchirurgischen
Denkens, Entscheidens und Handels in gedrangter Form dargestellt
sind. Der Verpflichtung, akute unfa1l chirurgische Situationen zu
erkennen und geeignete SofortmaBnamen zu ergreifen, kann sich kein
Arzt entziehen."
One of the most important stories in Latin American studies today
is the emergence of left-leaning social movements sweeping across
Latin America includes the mobilization of militant indigenous
politics. Formed in 1995 in Ecuador to advance the interests of a
variety of people's organizations and to serve as an alternative to
the country's traditional political parties, Pachakutik
Plurinational Unity Movement (Pachakutik) is an indigenist-based
movement and political party. In this critical work, Kenneth J.
Mijeski and Scott H. Beck evaluate the successes and failures
experienced by Ecuador's Indians in their quest to transform the
state into a participative democracy that would address the needs
of the country's long-ignored and impoverished majority, both
indigenous and nonindigenous. Using a powerful statistical
technique and in-depth interviews with political activists, the
authors show that the political election game failed to advance the
cause of either Ecuador's poor majority or the movement's own
indigenous base. Pachakutik and the Rise and Decline of the
Ecuadorian Indigenous Movement is an extraordinarily valuable case
study that examines the birth, development, and in this case,
waning of Ecuador's indigenous movement. The mobilization of
militant indigenous politics is one of the most important stories
in Latin American studies today. In this critical work, Kenneth J.
Mijeski and Scott H. Beck examine the rise and decline of Ecuador's
leading indigenous party, Pachakutik, as it tried to transform the
state into a participative democracy. Using in-depth interviews
with political activists, as well as a powerful statistical
analysis of election results, the authors show that the political
election game failed to advance the causes of Ecuador's poor or the
movement's own indigenous supporters. Pachakutik and the Rise and
Decline of the Ecuadorian Indigenous Movement is an extraordinarily
valuable case study of Ecuador's indigenous movement and the
challenges it still faces.
In The Fugitive Legacy, Charlotte H. Beck demonstrates the strong
influence of the Nashville Fugitives as teachers, editors, and
mentors by examining the extraordinary impact on American letters
of the critics, poets, and fiction writers whom they taught or
sponsored. Previously, the proteges of John Crowe Ransom, Allen
Tate, Donald Davidson, and Robert Penn Warren have received
considerable scholarly attention only as individuals or in relation
to small groups of close-knit writers within single literary
genres. Now, for the first time, this far-ranging group of
accomplished writers is united as part of a larger phenomenon, the
Fugitive legacy, which has extended its influence far beyond the
parameters of southern literature.
After surveying the editorial legacy of the major Fugitives,
Beck treats the Fugitive legacy in criticism and the major impact
of Cleanth Brooks and the New Criticism. She next examines the
extensive influence of the Fugitives on the poetry of Randall
Jarrell, John Berryman, and Robert Lowell. The largest section of
the study deals with the Fugitive legacy in fiction, as Beck
stresses the work of six writers -- Andrew Lytle, Katherine Anne
Porter, Caroline Gordon, Eudora Welty, Peter Taylor, and Flannery
O'Connor.
By treating the careers of these brilliant authors as a single
chapter in literary history, Beck makes an invaluable contribution
to the understanding of southern literature.
