Markus Seidel provides a detailed critique of epistemic relativism in the sociology of scientific knowledge. In addition to scrutinising the main arguments for epistemic relativism he provides an absolutist account that nevertheless aims at integrating the relativist's intuition.

This book crosses the conventional border between the analysis of on-screen and off-screen intersections of law and cinema. It not only addresses the representation of law on screen (for example, through discussions of how lawyers, police, and prisons are depicted, or how courtroom sequences function as narratives), but also focuses on how the state shapes and regulates cinema. The volume addresses the distinct contexts of China, India, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and Vietnam, along with an integrative introduction that puts the essays and themes into context for scholars and students alike.

This volume brings together distinguished international specialists on Vietnam and its reform process to explore the impact of reform in Vietnam on the Vietnamese state, society, and order, and Vietnam's international and regional environment.

The difficulties that students face when tackling Joyce's works are often addressed by focusing on plot, implying that the "real" books are hidden behind the author's complex language and style. This reader-friendly introduction offers an alternative approach, suggesting that close attention to Joyce's words, phrases, and sentences is the best route to reading his works with insight and pleasure. Seidel demystifies Joyce's style, demonstrating that everything students need to know in order to read his works may be discovered in the books themselves.

Over the past 60 years, the world has seen gradual and hard-won progress in reducing child mortality and improving the lives of opportunities of children. Some of this is attributable to medical science, much of it to simple but effective public health measures. Even though 24,000 children continue to die each day from preventable causes, this represents a dramatic improvement, and progress continues to be made. Climate change threatens to undo all of this progress, and wipe out the gains of decades. The threat of rising sea levels, the potential loss of productive farmland and the potential threat to water supplies are all profound concerns, and threaten the well-being of children and communities around the world. This book examines the connection between climate action and the future of childrens' health.

Dieses Buch enthiilt Arbeiten, die als Vortrag auf dem ersten deutsch- deutschen neurologisch-psychiatrischen Symposium gehalten wur- den. Das Symposium war fiir die deutsche und speziell die Berliner Psychiatrie und Neurologie ein auBerordentliches und bemerkens- wertes Ereignis. Zum einen sollte der Griindung der Psychiatrischen- und Nervenklinik der Charite vor 125 Jahren gedacht werden. Dies war ein Werk Wilhelm Griesingers, der nur zwei Jahre spiiter, niim- lich 1867 auch Begriinder der "Berliner Medizinisch-Psychologi- schen Gesellschaft" war. Die Gesellschaft, die spiiter die Bezeichnung "Berliner Gesellschaft fiir Psychiatrie und Neurologie" erhielt, hatte bis zum Kriegsende fast stets im Horsaal der Nervenklink der Charite getagt, war 1947 neu gegriindet worden, hatte sich aber aufgrund der politischen Verhiiltnisse in Deutschland und in unserer Stadt 1953 geteilt. Seit der friedlichen Revolution des 9. November 1989 mit der MauerOffnung hatten sich schnell wissenschaftliche und personliche Kontakte zwischen den Universitiitskliniken beider Stadthiilften er- geben. Die schon liinger geplante J ubiliiumsveranstaltung der Psych- iatrischen und Nervenklinik der Charite konnte jetzt in ihrem Pro- gramm erweitert werden. Sie fand als erste gemeinsam veranstaltete wissenschaftliche Sitzung der beiden Berliner Gesellschaften fiir Psychiatrie und Neurologie statt und wurde so zu einem bewegen- den Erlebnis. Wohl zum letzten Mal muBte von dem vorbereitenden Komitee (insbesondere D. Janz, H. W. Kolmel, K. -J. Neumiirker, H. A. F. Schul- ze, M. Seidel) ein gewisser Proporz zwischen Sprechern und Mode- ratoren aus BRD und DDR beachtet werden.
