To many education students, Russian and/or Chinese education is at
the same time their introduction to Marxism, and many students go
no further. This book sets the record straight by giving a thorough
introduction to the writings of Marx himself as they relate to
education. It shows what Marxism implies for education, as aim,
method and content. It then proceeds to compare educational
developments in the former USSR and China in the light of this
analysis, attempting to answer the question as to how Marxist this
has been, in the schools and outside them.
All industrialization is deeply rooted within the specific
geographies in which it took place, and echoes of previous
industrialization continue to reverberate in these places through
to the modern day. This book investigates the overlap of memory and
the impacts of industrialization within today's communities and the
senses of place and heritage that grew alongside and in reaction to
the growth of mines, mills, and factories. The economic and social
change that accompanied the unchecked accumulation of wealth and
exploitation of labor as the industrial revolution spread
throughout the world has numerous lasting impacts on the
socioeconomics of today. Likewise, the planet itself is now
reeling. The memory and heritage of these processes reach into the
communities that owe the industrial revolution their existence, but
these populations also often suffered adverse impacts to their
health and environment through the large-scale and rapid extraction
of natural resources and production of goods. Through the themes of
memory, community, and place; working post-industrial landscapes;
and the de-romanticization of industrial pasts, this book examines
the endurance and decline of these communities, the spatial
processes of industrial byproducts, and the memory and heritage of
industrialization and its legacies. While based in the traditions
of geography, this collection also draws upon and will be of great
interest to students and scholars of cultural anthropology,
archaeology, sociology, history, architecture, civil engineering,
and heritage, memory, museum, and tourism studies. Using global
examples, the authors provide a uniquely geographic understanding
to industrial heritage across the spaces, places, and memories of
industrial development.
Propelling quantitative MRI techniques from bench to bedside,
Quantitative MRI in Cancer presents a range of quantitative MRI
methods for assessing tumor biology. It includes biophysical and
theoretical explanations of the most relevant MRI techniques as
well as examples of these techniques in cancer applications.
The introductory part of the book covers basic cancer biology,
theoretical aspects of NMR/MRI physics, and the hardware required
to form MR images. Forming the core of the book, the next three
parts illustrate how to characterize tissue properties with
endogenous and exogenous contrast mechanisms and discuss common
image processing techniques relevant for cancer. The final part
explores emerging areas of MR cancer characterization, including
radiation therapy planning, cellular and molecular imaging, pH
imaging, and hyperpolarized MR. Each of the post-introductory
chapters describes the salient qualitative and quantitative aspects
of the techniques before proceeding to preclinical and clinical
applications. Each chapter also contains references for further
study.
Leading the way toward more personalized medicine, this text
brings together existing and emerging quantitative MRI techniques
for assessing cancer. It provides a self-contained overview of the
theoretical and experimental essentials and state of the art in
cancer MRI.

The Journal of Medieval Military History continues to consolidate
its now assured position as the leading academic vehicle for
scholarly publication in the field of medieval warfare. Medieval
Warfare The articles here offer a wide range of approaches to
medieval warfare. They include traditional studies of strategy (on
Baybars) and the logistics of Edward II's wars, as well as cultural
history (an examination of chivalry in Guy of Warwick) intellectual
history (a broad analysis of strategic theory in the Middle Ages),
and social history (on knightly training in arms). The Hundred
Years War is studied using cutting-edge methodology
(data-drivenanalysis of skirmishes) and by tackling relatively new
areas of inquiry (environmental history). There is also a close
reading of Carolingian documents, which sheds new light on armies
and warfare in the time of Charles the Great. Contributors: Ronald
W. Braasch III, Pierre Galle, Walter Goffart, Carl I. Hammer, John
Hosler, Rabei G. Khamisy, Ilana Krug, Danny Lake-Giguere, Brian
Price.
Many have proclaimed the fundamentals of global security were
altered by the September 11 terrorist attacks. Do these changes
undercut or enhance the role of the United Nations? What do events
like the role of the UN in the crisis over Iraq tell us? Here top
scholars examine the role of the UN in preventing international and
civil violence, arms control, deterring and reversing aggression,
and addressing humanitarian crises. The chapters are concise while
providing depth of understanding of the issues, positions and
problems facing the United Nations and its member states in
grappling with increased opportunities and threats. Their lively
presentations of the drama of UN debates establish the
contributions and shortcomings of global multilateralism in an era
of U.S. hegemony and unilateralism. University of British Columbia,
