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 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.

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.

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 centred around dreams of alternatives to everyday life. The images, which today dominate advertisements for tourist products, had to be constructed and sustained, invented and remoulded 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.

Stochastic Geometry is the mathematical discipline which studies mathematical models for random geometric structures. This book collects lectures presented at the CIME summer school in Martina Franca in September 2004. The main lecturers covered Spatial Statistics, Random Points, Integral Geometry and Random Sets. These are complemented by two additional contributions on Random Mosaics and Crystallization Processes. The book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date description of important aspects of Stochastic Geometry.

Die Landschaftsoekologie als Wissenschaft von der Mensch-Umwelt-Beziehung im weitesten Sinne ist als Fachbereich zwischen unterschiedlichen Disziplinen angeordnet. Sie stellt den Zusammenhang Mensch - Natur - Raum in den Mittelpunkt ihrer Theorie, aber auch ihrer praktischen Arbeit. Gegenstand der Landschaftsoekologie ist das Landschaftsoekosystem. Es umfasst die Gesamtrealitat, die sich aus dem Zusammenspiel von menschlichem Wirken, naturgegebenen Rahmenbedingungen und regionalen raumlichen Gegebenheiten ergibt. Die Autoren behandeln folgende Themenbereiche: Grundlagen der Angewandten Landschaftsoekologie; Allgemeine Methoden und Modelle der Angewandten Landschaftsoekologie; Faktoren- und prozessbezogene Methoden und Modelle der Angewandten Landschaftsoekologie; Raumbewertung in der Angewandten Landschaftsoekologie; Landschaftsbewertung aus sozialwissenschaftlicher Sicht.

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.
