This fascinating sequel to the 1998 Teaching Economics to
Undergraduates provides more alternatives to the lecture and
chalkboard approach that dominates university economics teaching.
Distinguished contributing authors provide a wide range of
innovative teaching techniques and examples aimed at more
effectively engaging undergraduates in the learning of economics.
New topics covered in this volume include game theory, using active
learning techniques in large classes, a streamlined content agenda
for macroeconomic principles, distance learning, and assessment of
student learning. Other chapters revisit topics from the first
volume, though often from different perspectives or with new
approaches provided by different authors. Topics covered in these
chapters include cooperative learning techniques, using technology
in the classroom (including dozens of websites), bringing the work
of the Nobel Laureates into undergraduate classes, and teaching
with experimental economics, case studies, or team writing
assignments and presentations. Teaching Economics is an invaluable
and practical tool for teachers of economics, administrators
responsible for undergraduate instruction and graduate students who
are just beginning to teach. Each chapter includes specific
teaching tips for classroom implementation and summary lists of dos
and don'ts for instructors who are thinking of moving beyond the
lecture method of traditional chalk and talk.

This book discusses the philosophical work of Décio Krause.
Non-individuality, as a new metaphysical category, was thought to
be strongly supported by quantum mechanics. No one did more
to promote this idea than the Brazilian philosopher Décio
Krause, whose works on the metaphysics and logic
of non-individuality are now widely regarded as part of the
consolidated literature on the subject. This volume brings
together chapters elaborating on the ideas put forward and
defended by Krause, developing them in many different
directions, commenting on aspects not completely developed so
far, and, more importantly, critically addressing their
current formulations and defenses by Krause himself. Given
that Krause’s ideas do connect directly and indirectly with a
wide array of subjects, such as the philosophy of quantum
mechanics, more broadly understood, the philosophy of logic
and logical philosophy, non-classical logics, metaphysics,
and ontology, this volume contains important material for the
research on logic and foundations of science,
broadly understood. All the invited contributors have already
worked with the ideas developed by Décio (some of them still
work with them), being also distinct authors and extremely
relevant in their areas of expertise. The volume is aimed at
philosophers, including those of physics and quantum mechanics.
This book provides documentation for a new version of the S system
released in 1988. The new S enhances the features that have made S
popular: interactive computing, flexible graphics, data management
and a large collection of functions. The new S features make
possible new applications and higher-level programming, including a
single unified language, user defined functions as first-class
objects, symbolic computations, more accurate numerical
calculations and a new approach to graphics. S now provides direct
interfaces to the poowerful tool of the UNIX operating system and
to algorithms implemented in Fortran and C.

The Surgeon as a Humanist Medicine is the most humane of the
sciences and the most scientific of the humanities. Cardiac surgery
today provides a most natural confluence for the high technology of
medicine and the humanistic values traditional in the practice of
medicine. The cardiac surgeon must, of necessity, be knowledgeable
in physiology and cardio logy, and must also possess consummate
surgical technical skill. The attainment of these skills over long
years of training leads many of these surgeons to believe or per
ceive this long struggle as an apotheosis of their position in
life, rather than as an education in bringing the latest scientific
advances to the care of patients. The problem lies not only with
the cardiac surgeon; it is also contributed to by the patients'
perception of heart surgery, heart disease, and the mystery of the
science and physiology involved. The patient with heart disease
expecting surgery may, for the first time, be facing the finiteness
of his existence. The low risk of cardiac surgery to day not
withstanding, the coronary surgery patients, most likely a type A
personality, is faced with a perceived threat to his
invulnerability, his self-image, his family, his independence, his
control of situations, and his very existence."

A celebration of the work and lives of women artists who shaped the
art world of 19th-century Paris In the second half of the 19th
century, Paris attracted an international gathering of women
artists, drawn to the French capital by its academies and museums,
studios and salons. Featuring thirty-six artists from eleven
different countries, this beautifully illustrated book explores the
strength of these women's creative achievements, through paintings
by acclaimed Impressionists such as Mary Cassatt and Berthe
Morisot, and extraordinary lesser-known artists such as Marie
Bashkirtseff, Anna Bilinska-Bohdanowicz, Paula Modersohn-Becker,
and Hanna Pauli. It examines their work against the sociopolitical
background of the period, when women were mostly barred from formal
artistic education but cleverly navigated the city's network of
ateliers, salons, and galleries. Essays consider the powerfully
influential work of women Impressionists, representations of the
female artist in portraiture, the unique experiences of Nordic
women artists, and the significant presence of women artists
throughout the history of the Paris Salon. By addressing the
long-undervalued contributions of women to the art of the later
19th century, Women Artists in Paris pays tribute to pioneers who
not only created remarkable paintings but also generated momentum
toward a more egalitarian art world. Published in association with

Dass Buch will dem dringenden Bedurfnis nach besserem Verstandnis
und scharferer nosologischer Einordnung des Begriffes
"traumatisch-hirnorganisches Psychosyndrom" Rechnung tragen. Es ist
das Ergebnis eines Workshops, bei dem Pharmakologen, Internisten
und Neurochirurgen das Thema von mehreren Seiten beleuchtet haben.
Die Vortrage wurden mit dem Auditorium, auch anhand von
Fallbeispielen, diskutiert. Das Ergebnis ist eine Bestandsaufnahme
uber das derzeitige Verstandnis des Syndroms mit Empfehlungen zur
Analgosedierung.

Die vorliegende Darstellung des Ferromagnetismus geht historisch
zuruck auf eine Reihe von Vortragen, welche der eine der Verfasser
im Winter 1934/35 auf Veranlassung des Ausseninstituts der
Technischen Hochschule Berlin vor einem zum grossten Teil aus
Technikern bestehenden Horerkreis hielt. In diesen Vortragen wurde
gezeigt, dass viele scheinbar zusammenhanglose Eigenschaften
ferromagnetischer Korper verstandlich werden durch den Zusammenhang
zwischen Spannung, Magnetostriktion und Magnetisierungsrichtung,
wie er bei "Nickel unter Zug" in besonders reiner Form der
theoretischen und experimen tellen Forschung zuganglich ist. In der
Zwischenzeit ist unsere Kenntnis von der Magnetisierung und ihren
Begleiterscheinungen durch zahlreiche Arbeiten gefordert worden.
Die in jenen Vortragen haufig nur angedeuteten Gesichtspunkte haben
sich quantitativ verscharfen und an zahlreichen Beobachtungen
bestatigen lassen. Die Arbeiten zur Erforschung des
Ferromagnetismus lassen sich nach ihren Zielen in zwei grosse
Gruppen unterteilen, von denen die eine eine Erklarung fur das
Auftreten des Ferromagnetismus uberhaupt anstrebt, wahrend die
andere Gruppe ihn als vorhanden hinnimmt und nach' seinen
speziellen Erscheinungs formen fragt. Diese Unterteilung kommt auch
in dem vorliegenden Buche zum Ausdruck."
Am 29. und 30. Oktober 1937 fand auf meine Veranlassung im hiesigen
Physikalischen Institut ein Kolloquium iiber Probleme der
Magnetisierungskurve statt, bei welch em die in diesem Buch
zusammen gefaBten Vortdige gehalten wurden. Zunachst konnten
natiirlich leb hafte Zweifel dariiber bestehen, ob ein so eng
umgrenztes Thema als ausreichende Unterlage fiir eine Tagung
anzusehen ist. Durch den iiberraschend starken Besuch dieser
Sondertagung (etwa 80 auswartige Teilnehmer) und die Lebhaftigkeit
der Diskussionen innerhalb und auBerhalb des Horsaales wurden
solche Zweifel vollig widerlegt. Der Ferromagnetismus ist ein
besonders lehrreiches Beispiel eines Spezial gebietes, welches erst
einer intensiven Zusammenarbeit zwischen den verschiedensten
Disziplinen, insbesondere der theoretischen und ex perimentellen
Physik, Elektrotechnik und Metallkunde, seine fruchtbare
Entwicklung verdankt. Dementsprechend erhielt die Tagung ihr be
sonderes Geprage dadurch, daB sie Vertreter dieser verschiedenen
Fachrichtungen zusammenfiihrte und in Vortragen und Diskussionen zu
Wort kommen lieB. Es sei mir gestattet, auch an dieser Stelle allen
Teilnehmern der Tagung und insbesondere den Vortragenden meinen
lebhaften Dank dafiir auszusprechen, daB sie durch ihre Mitarbeit
dem magnetischen Kolloquium einen guten Erfolg gesichert haben.
Dieses Buch moge sie erinnern an einige angeregte und frohe Stunden
der gemeinsamen Unterhaltung. Gottingen, April 1938. R. BECKER.
