This book addresses the historiography of mathematics as it was
practiced during the 19th and 20th centuries by paying special
attention to the cultural contexts in which the history of
mathematics was written. In the 19th century, the history of
mathematics was recorded by a diverse range of people trained in
various fields and driven by different motivations and aims. These
backgrounds often shaped not only their writing on the history of
mathematics, but, in some instances, were also influential in their
subsequent reception. During the period from roughly 1880-1940,
mathematics modernized in important ways, with regard to its
content, its conditions for cultivation, and its identity; and the
writing of the history of mathematics played into the last part in
particular. Parallel to the modernization of mathematics, the
history of mathematics gradually evolved into a field of research
with its own journals, societies and academic positions. Reflecting
both a new professional identity and changes in its primary
audience, various shifts of perspective in the way the history of
mathematics was and is written can still be observed to this day.
Initially concentrating on major internal, universal developments
in certain sub-disciplines of mathematics, the field gradually
gravitated towards a focus on contexts of knowledge production
involving individuals, local practices, problems, communities, and
networks. The goal of this book is to link these disciplinary and
methodological changes in the history of mathematics to the broader
cultural contexts of its practitioners, namely the historians of
mathematics during the period in question.

It is to the great and lasting credit of LORENZ BOHLER and his
school that they have in the last decade developed and demonstrated
so thoroughly the techniques for the conservative management of
fractures. Nevertheless there have always been many, including some
from BOHLER'S school, who have found considerable place for
surgical management, and with the significant progress in general
surgery seen in postwar years, a new stimulus has been given to
this part of traumatic surgery, especially since bone injuries have
become more complex and frequent. The concept of internal fixation
is not new. The serious criticisms that have been levelled at it
retain today their basic significance. Progress in the fields of
asepsis, corrosion-free metal implants, operative experience and
postoperative care has diminished the dangers but has not relieved
the surgeon of responsibility. The Association for the Study of the
Problems of Internal Fixation (AO) has devoted itself over a number
of years to the basic principles and best methods of open treatment
of fractures by means of extended clinical and scientific studies
in order to determine in each individual case the most promising
line of treatment. At the same time a well designed and tested
instrument set has been developed with precise instructions for the
appropriate techniques. As a result, the new observations about
primary bone healing which have emerged from the practice of rigid
internal fixation are as interesting as the uses to which they can
be put in allowing early mobilization.
It is with pleasure that we offer these introductory remarks for
the Manual of Internal Fixation in the Horse, a book describing a
further application of AO or ASIF techniques. The letters A-O stand
for the Arbeitsgemeinschaft fUr Osteosynthesefragen and have been
trans lated into the Association for the Study of Internal
Fixation. The organization is truly a "study group," created in
Switzerland, that met for the first time in 1958. The major goal
was to establish a task of fracture treatment by force committed to
the improvement osteosynthesis. The group's motivation arose out of
the then prevailing unsound or inconsistently successful attempts
at fracture treatment. According to statistics obtained from the
Swiss National Health Insurance Program at the time, the so-called
conservative treatment of fractures had resulted in a high rate of
persistent morbidity. The problems encoun tered included:
irreparable damage due to long-term immobilization; delayed union
or pseudoarthrosis; malalignment; and, inadequate reduction of
intraarticular fractures with resultant osteoarthritis. Accurate,
stable osteosynthesis seemed the only practical way to address
those various shortcomings. However, many of the osteosyn theses
performed at that time had led to new problems, since most were not
stable and, in some cases, actually worked to prevent healing."
The fourth volume of Progress in Orthopaedic Surgery is somewhat
different from pre vious publications of the series. The editors
have again tried to present two topics but the publications
presented from the European literature are of very recent origin.
In the age of total joint replacement it was felt to be imperative
to counteract the pre sent tendency to treat every joint which does
not seem to be healthy with an artificial re placement. Orthopaedic
surgery seems to be influenced by trends. In 1963, E. A. Nichol
discussing intracapsular hip fractures, quoted from Alice In
Wonderland in an editorial written for volume 45B of the Journal of
Bone and Joint Surgery "The Queen had only one way of settling all
difficulties, great or small, "Off with his head" ." Today one
could paraphrase his implied critizism by saying "Out with the
joint." No one doubts that joint replacements have been of great
value in treating degenerative joint changes, but it is already
apparent that replacement operations are not the ultimate answer
for treating every joint deformity. This volume represents the
European experience of different types of surgery in treat ing
arthrosis of the joints of the lower limb. A reader of the
Anglo-American literature will find suggestions in it which
reaffirm his uneasiness in considering only one solution for
problems concerning lower limb joints. I feel strongly that there
are other ways which allow a patient to function well with less
extensive operations."
In the first in-depth study of the emotional dimensions of Du
Bois's and Emerson's writings on public intellectualism, reform,
and race, Schneider offers a valuable and eloquent contribution to
the critical tradition.
In "The Public Intellectualism of Ralph Waldo Emerson and W.E.B. Du
Bois," Ryan Schneider shows how and why two of America's most
influential public intellectuals--writing from opposite sides of
the color line--defined race not only in biological and
geo-cultural terms but also as an emotional phenomenon. Drawing on
and advancing recent work in Cognitive Literary Studies, Critical
Race Theory, and the History of Emotions, Schneider comparatively
examines the range of feelings Emerson and Du Bois attribute to the
experience of racial difference; his innovative close readings
reveal the surprising extent to which they conceive of race reform
as an emotive process and how expressions of personal feeling
underwrite their public commitments to re-imagining black-white
relations.
At the end of the twentieth century, tourism is the world's largest single industry. Tourism, however, is not only an economic and social phenomenon, but can be 'read' in semiotic terms centered around dreams of alternatives to everyday life. The images, which today dominate advertisements for tourist products, had to be constructed and sustained, invented and remolded over a long historical process. It seems that without this distinctive historical and cultural 'baggage' the remarkable social practice of taking holidays would not have evolved. Even if tourism saw its most spectacular development in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in terms of the numbers involved, it rests on a cultural foundation inaugurated in the early modern period. The Making of Modern Tourism was a long-term process, deeply rooted in the cultural and intellectual, economic and social history of Britain.This interdisciplinary volume brings together scholars from fields as far apart as literary studies and economic history, who trace the history of tourism from the Renaissance to the present day, combing fresh findings from ongoing research with state-of-the-art surveys.

Den Weg von der Aligemeinchirurgie zur Hiiftchirurgie zu finden,
brauchte es in den 50er Jahren den Gliicksfall einer ziindenden
Anregung. Es war fiir mich die Begegnung mit Maurice E. Miiller,
der seit 1952 regelmaBig nach GroB- h6chstetten kam und dem ich die
ganze Einfiihrnng in die Problematik der Osteosynthese und der
operativen Be- handlung der Coxarthrose verdanke. Insbesondere sein
Buch iiber die hiiftnahen Femurosteotomien von 1957 und das
praktische Erlebnis der Gelenkregeneration nach inter- trochanterer
Osteotomie wurden fUr mich wegleitend. Die Problematik bestand
damals wie heute in der Planung und in der Verwirklichung der
Planung. Die damaligen Osteo- synthesen mit Schrauben,
Spickdrahten, Zuggurtungsdrah- ten, Nageln und vielfachen Platten
waren unbefriedigend, da sie die fehlerlose Verwirklichung eines
Operationspla- nes nicht erm6glichten. Erst die Einfiihrung der
AO-Hiift- platten durch Miiller im Juli 1959 ergab durch drei Ele-
mente die prazise Verwirklichung des Operationsplans. Es sind dies
- der bekannte, feste Winkel zwischen Plattenklinge und Platte -
das Schneiden des Klingensitzes vor der Osteotomie nach Berechnung
seiner Lage - die stabile Osteosynthese durch interfragmentare Kom-
pression. Es muB heute die entscheidende Bedeutung dieser Ent-
wicklung betont werden. Die rl}ffinierten, mehrdimensio- nalen
Korrekturen waren ohne exakte Verwirklichung des Operationsplans
und ohne stabile Osteosynthese undenk- bar. Auch die Technik der
Osteotomie hat sich in dieser Zeit geandert. Bis 1967 haben wir sie
mit Bohrl6chem, Vorwort VIII MeiBel und Giglisage vorgenommen. Die
Oszillationssage ist unentbehrlich geworden. Mein erster Dank gilt
meinem alten Freund Maurice E. Muller.
Im Mittelpunkt des Buchs steht ein bisher weitgehend unerforschtes
Arbeitsgebiet des niederlandischen Mathematikers van der Waerden:
seine Beitrage zur gruppentheoretischen Methode in der
Quantenmechanik um 1930. Entstehungsgeschichte, Inhalt und Wirkung
werden von der Autorin detailliert herausgearbeitet und die
damalige Kontroverse um den Nutzen der gruppentheoretischen Methode
erortert. Dadurch legt sie nicht nur die Vielschichtigkeit von
Mathematisierungsprozessen offen, sondern auch ihre Ruckwirkung auf
Entwicklungen in der reinen" Mathematik."

From 1960 to 1990, Alfred R. Schneider served as head of standards
and practices, or "chief censors," for the ABC television network.
From his unique vantage point, Schneider managed issues of taste
and morality that determined what millions of U.S. viewers watched.
During his tenure the nation's attitudes changed drastically, as
did the content shown on American airwaves. Controversies arose
about TV's influence on children, its portrayal of violence, and
its introduction of once taboo subjects.

The Middle East is an international flashpoint, a place where open
warfare could erupt at any time. It is the home of numerous
countries possessing some combination of weapons of mass
destruction (WMD) (nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons), and
is an area where states are developing an increasing capability to
deliver such WMD by missiles and/or aircraft. The Middle East is
also the home of US friends who oppose each other as well as rogue
states who are hostile to the United States. In short, the Middle
East is a WMD war waiting to happen. Such a conflict would harm US
allies and US interests; it needs to be avoided. Or, if WMD warfare
occurs, such a conflict needs to be limited and the United States
and allied forces need to be prepared to cope with the effects. The
authors of this study address important questions that demand an
answer if US national security policy is to be well informed.
