This Handbook presents an international collection of essays
examining history education past and present. Framing recent
curriculum reforms in Canada and in the United States in light of a
century-long debate between the relationship between theory and
practice, this collection contextualizes the debate by exploring
the evolution of history and social studies education within their
state or national contexts. With contributions ranging from Canada,
Finland, New Zealand, Sweden, the Netherlands, the Republic of
South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States, chapters
illuminate the ways in which curriculum theorists and academic
researchers are working with curriculum developers and educators to
translate and refine notions of historical thinking or inquiry as
well as pedagogical practice.

Three years have elapsed since the publication of the first edition
of this book (in German). The continued interest of our readers and
the rapid progress of our knowl edge in many fields necessitates a
thoroughly revised and somewhat enlarged new edition. Cell
differentiation is a prerequisite of life. It is defined as the
prooess leading to the qualitatively and quantitatively selective
realization of distinct parts of a given genetic material. Cell
differentiation comprises five main aspects: (1) signal reception
and transformation, (2) selective rearrangements of the genetic
material, (3) differen tial gene expression, (4) organization of
gene expression programs and (5) intercellular coordination of cell
differentiation within the developmental programs of multicellular
organisms. Despite the bewildering multiplicity of its results,
i.e., the differentiated phenotypes of cells, there are apparently
fundamental similarities with respect to the molecular mechanisms
of the process itself. These mechanisms constitute the central
subject of this book."
The automobile is one of the inventions that has made a decisive
contribution to human mobility, and consequently it has become an
inseparable part of modern human society. However, it is through
this widespread use that its negative impacts on the environment
have become so highly visible. Achievements in improving the
ecological characteristics of the automobile are highly impressive:
a modern car emits only a fraction of the amounts of noise and
exhaust pollutants produced by its predecessors 30 years ago. The
contributions to this book were written by experts, most of whom
have been actively involved in the development of modern
automobiles and their combustion engines for more than 30 years.
They have participated in all phases of the ecological development
of the automobile and summarize their experience and know-how in
this book .

Nach operativen Eingriffen am Gastrointestinaltrakt treten oft
postoperative Syndrome in den Mittelpunkt. Der operativ veranderte
Gastrointestinaltrakt fordert vom Endoskopiker ein besonderes
Verstandnis und besondere Fahigkeiten, auch ohne Kenntnis des
detaillierten Operationsberichtes, den operativen Situs zu
beurteilen. In diesem Buch wird erstmalig eine Zusammenstellung von
Storungen und Syndromen nach operativen Eingriffen am
Gastrointestinaltrakt vorgestellt, wobei der endoskopierende
Chirurg selbst die Deutung, Interpretation und gegebenenfalls die
Behandlung der Befunde vornimmt. Dabei werden die endoskopischen
Besonderheiten der Pathologie und Therapie des
Gastrointestinaltraktes post operationem komprimiert und
illustriert erlautert. Das Buch soll kompendiumartig die
Aufmerksamkeit des Lesers auf potentielle postoperative Storungen
und Syndrome richten und durch gezielten endoskopischen Einsatz zur
Deutung und Behandlung der Befunde weisen.

In 1791, shortly after the United States won its independence,
George Washington personally asked Pierre Charles L'Enfant--a young
French artisan turned American revolutionary soldier who gained
many friends among the Founding Fathers--to design the new nation's
capital. L'Enfant approached this task with unparalleled vigor and
passion; however, his imperious and unyielding nature also made him
many powerful enemies. After eleven months, Washington reluctantly
dismissed L'Enfant from the project. Subsequently, the plan for the
city was published under another name, and L'Enfant died long
before it was rightfully attributed to him.
Filled with incredible characters and passionate human drama, Scott
W. Berg's deft narrative account of this little-explored story in
American history is a tribute to the genius of Pierre Charles
L'Enfant and the enduring city that is his legacy.
Informed consent - as an ethical ideal and legal doctrine - has been the source of much concern to clinicians. Drawing on a diverse set of backgrounds and two decades of research in clinical settings, the authors - a lawyer, a physician, a social scientist, and a philosopher - help clinicians understand and cope with their legal obligations and show how the proper handling of informed consent can improve , rather than impede, patient care. Following a concise review of the ethical and legal foundations of informed consent, they provide detailed, practical suggestions for incorporating informed consent into clinical practice. This completely revised and updated edition discusses how to handle informed consent in all phases of the updated edition discusses how to handle informed consent in all phases of the doctor-patient relationship, use of consent forms, patients' refusals of treatment, and consent to research. It comments on recent laws and national policy, and addresses cutting edge issues such as fulfilling physician obligations under managed care. This clear and succinct book contains a weath of information that will not only help clinicians meet the legal requirements of informed consent and understand its ethical underpinnings, but also enhance their ability to deal with their patients more effectively. It will be of value to all those working in areas where issues of informed consent are likely to arise, including medicine, biomedical research, mental health care, nursing, dentistry, biomedical ethics, and law.
