Research on history instruction and learning is emerging as an
exciting new field of inquiry. The editors prepared this volume
because the field is at an important moment in its development -- a
stage where there is research of sufficient depth and breadth to
warrant a collection of representative pieces. The field of
research on history teaching and learning connects with both
traditional research on social studies and with recent cognitive
analyses of domains such as mathematics and physics. However, the
newer research goes beyond these activities as well. Where
traditional research approaches to social studies instruction and
learning have focused on curriculum, they have avoided the study of
purely disciplinary features, the textual components of history and
the concomitant demands, as well as the nature of various learners.
Where recent cognitive analyses of mathematics and physics have
dealt with misconceptions and knowledge construction, they have
avoided topics such as perspective-taking, interpretation, and
rhetorical layerings. The new work, by contrast, has been concerned
with these issues as well as the careful analyses of the nature of
historical tasks and the nature of disciplinary and instructional
explanations. The lines of research presented in these chapters are
both compelling and diverse and include a range of topical
questions such as: * What affects the quality of teaching? * How
are historical documents interpreted in the writing of history? *
How is history explained? * What are the classroom demands on an
elementary school social studies teacher? * What does text
accomplish or fail to accomplish in educational settings? * How do
teachers think about particular topics for history teaching?
Although much of the research reflects a grounding in, or the
influence of, cognitive psychology, not all of it derives from that
tradition. Traditions of rhetoric, curriculum analysis, and
developmental psychology are also woven throughout the chapters.
The editors envision this volume as a contribution to educational
research in a subject matter, and as a tool for practitioners
concerned with the improvement of instruction in history. They also
anticipate that it will contribute to cognitive science.

'Brokering Democracy in Africa' examines the achievements &
limitations of democratization in Senegal, & Africa more
broadly, as a result of the continuing political culture of
clientelism.
Includes CD with 40 selections of music and chants. See Table of
Contents for CD track playlist.
This innovative book explores religion through music, one of the
most universally recognized forms of human experience. The only art
form named after a divinity, music has been documented from
prehistory to the present age in virtually all known cultures. For
many, music is a vehicle for spiritual growth and community
empowerment, whether it's understood as a gift of the gods or
simply a practice for achieving mental states conducive to
enlightenment.
Traditionally, when religious scholars talk about music, it's as
a kind of aesthetic supplement to the important spiritual content
of a religion, analogous to stained-glass windows or temple
paintings. In contrast, "Sacred Sound: Experiencing Music in World
Religions" acknowledges the critical role of musical activity in
religious life. Music, including chant and vocal utterance, is not
incidental in religious practice but a sacred treasure that is
central to the growth and sustenance of religions throughout the
world. Musical sound is sacred in most religions because it
embodies the divine and can be shared by all participants, enduring
among diverse communities of people despite theological
differences.
Covering six of the major world religionsJudaism, Christianity,
Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Buddhism--the book is accompanied by
a CD of forty selections of music and chant. Contributors are
respected scholars in religious studies and musicology and provide
insight from both disciplines. The first book of its kind, "Sacred
Sound" is a milestone in the growing cross-disciplinary study of
religion and music.

Aus dem interdisziplinaren Gesprach zwischen Wissenschaftlern und
Klinikern der Fachgebiete Anasthesiologie, Geburtshilfe,
Gynakologie und Padiatrie entstanden die Beitrage dieses Buches,
die den aktuellen Stand der geburtshilflich-gynakologischen
Anasthesie und Intensivmedizin widerspiegeln. Die
anasthesiologische Betreuung der Schwangeren zur Geburt oder zur
operativen Entbindung erfordert Wissen um spezifische Probleme.
Eine Absprache zwischen Geburtshelfer und Anasthesisten uber das
Vorgehen im Normalfall und in Risikosituationen ist dringend
erforderlich. Die Beurteilung und Erstversorgung des Neugeborenen
schliesst das geburtshilfliche Kapitel ab. Die Besonderheiten der
Anasthesie in der Gynakologie beziehen sich besonders auf
Kurzeingriffe. Hier ist die rasche postoperative
Kooperationsfahigkeit ebenso zu gewahrleisten wie die kurzfristig
notwendige tiefe Narkose und Analgesie. Das Buch eignet sich
hervorragend zur Weiter- und Fortbildung und beleuchtet auch offene
Fragen, die fur weitere intensive klinisch-experimentelle Forschung
Anregung geben.
Das in jtingster Zeit standig wachsende Interesse am Themenkreis
der Anaesthesie in der Geburtshilfe betrifft vor allem das Ge- biet
der Regionalanaesthesie. Die hierbei verwendeten Lokalanaesthetica
treten je nach ihren pharmakologischen Eigenschaften und nach der
Applikationsart in unterschiedlichem MaBe diaplazentar auf das Kind
tiber und kan- nen z. T. betrachtliche Nebenwirkungen beim Fetus
und Neugebo- renen hervorrufen. Das Bemtihen um graBere Sicherheit
ftir Mutter und Kind richtete sich in den letzten Jahren vor allem
auf technische Verbesserun- gen der angewandten Verfahren sowie auf
die Entwicklung neuer Lokalanaesthetica. Dieses Bemtihen war auch
das Hauptanliegen des Dtisseldorfer Symposiums, auf dem
Pharmakologen, Anaesthesiologen sowie Gyna- kologen und
Geburtshelfer gemeinsam die pharmakologischen und klinischen
Fragestellungen der Regionalanaesthesie in der Ge- burtshilfe am
Beispiel des neuen Lokalanaestheticums Carticain (Ultracain)
erarbeiteten. Der vorliegende Bericht mage einen Beitrag dazu
leisten, die Anaesthesie in der Geburtshilfe zu fardern und sie
ftir Mutter und Kind gleichermaBen sicher zu machen.
Die Grunde, die zur Abtrennung der Abschnitte "Formen und Giessen"
und damit zur Teilung des zweiten Bandes (Betriebstechnik) der
ersten Auflage dieses Handbuches gefuhrt haben, sind bereits im
Vorwort zum zweiten Band der zweiten Auflage dargelegt worden. So
sind aus den drei Banden, auf die das ganze Werk ursprunglich
angelegt war, deren vier geworden, und es wird der sich in
Vorbereitung befindende vierte Band mit seinem in der Hauptsache
den Entwurf von Giessereianlagen, die Kalkulation der Gussstucke
und die Organisation der Giesserei angehenden Inhalt den
Schlussband bilden. Der grossere Rest des zweiten Bandes der ersten
Auflage ist im vorliegenden dritten Bande "Schmelzen, Nacharbeiten
und Nebenbetriebe" zusammengefasst. Auch hier galt es, die
zahlreichen Neuerungen des letzten Jahrzehnts ihrer Bedeutung
gemass zu berucksichtigen, gleichzeitig den von der Kritik bei der
ersten Auflage ausgesprochenen Wunschen gerecht zu werden, sowie
die in abgerundeter Form geschriebenen Einzel abhandlungen
aufeinander abzustimmen. Eine durchgreifende Neubearbeitung und
Erganzung durch die ursprunglichen Ver fasser haben erfahren die
Abschnitte uber das Schmelzen im Tiegel (I) und im Giesserei
schachtofen (II), uber Kleinbessemerei (V), Gussputzerei (VIII),
Behandlung der Ober flache und Veredlung der Eisengusswaren (IX),
Aufbereitung und Mischung der Form stoffe (XII), und uber Modelle
und ihre Anfertigung (XIII), wahrend die Abschnitte uber das
Schmelzen im Flammofen (III), im Siemens-Martin-Ofen (IV) und im
Elektro ofen (VI), dazu uber die Darstellung des Tempergusses (VII)
von anderen Verfassern vollkommen neu geschrieben wurden.
Hinzugekommen sind die Abschnitte uber Warme behandlung von
Stahlguss (X) und uber Schweissen von Gusseisen- und Stahlguss
stucken (XI)."
