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.

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."
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.
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.
