Building on discussions in Contemporary Archaeology this book
challenges the border between material and discursive culture,
advocating for a novel conception of capitalism's artifacts. The
artifacts examined within (temperatures) are instantaneous electric
pulses, algorithmic outputs, and momentary fluctuations in mercury.
The artifacts of the capitalized never sit still, operating at
subatomic and solar scales. Temperatures, as numerical materials
precariously straddling the colonially constructed nature-culture
divide, exemplify the abstraction necessary to pursue the
perpetually accelerating asymmetrical growth of wealth-a pursuit
that engenders multiple environmental and economic calamities. This
book offers indispensable contributions to science studies, urban
geography, semiotics, the philosophy of materiality, the history of
thermodynamics, heterodox economics, performative scholarship, and
queer ecocriticism.

Providing a quantitative assessment of threatened plant
populations, that holds for varying management scenarios, has
become an essential part of conservation planning. Here, renowned
plant ecologists provide information on: major threats to plants,
when and where to conduct a plant viability assessment (PVA), what
type of PVA to conduct, what alternative options to PVA are
available, what information is required for which kind of viability
assessment, what attributes of the population in question should be
considered, and what the limits of the PVA would be. As such, this
volume can be used as a training tool for the environmental manager
or a teaching aid for reviewing the current state of knowledge on
plant population viability.

New Directions in Print Culture Studies features new methods and
approaches to cultural and literary history that draw on
periodicals, print culture, and material culture, thus revising and
rewriting what we think we know about the aesthetic, cultural, and
social history of transnational America. The unifying questions
posed and answered in this book are methodological: How can we make
material, archival objects meaningful? How can we engage and
contest dominant conceptions of aesthetic, historical, and literary
periods? How can we present archival material in ways that make it
accessible to other scholars and students? What theoretical
commitments does a focus on material objects entail? New Directions
in Print Culture Studies brings together leading scholars to
address the methodological, historical, and theoretical commitments
that emerge from studying how periodicals, books, images, and ideas
circulated from the 19th century to the present. Reaching beyond
national boundaries, the essays in this book focus on the different
materials and archives we can use to rewrite literary history in
ways that highlight not a canon of “major” literary works, but
instead the networks, dialogues, and tensions that define print
cultures in various moments and movements.
In Deutschland erkranken jahrlich 47.500 Frauen neu an
Brustkrebs, 10.000 Frauen an Eierstockkrebs. Dies sind die
haufigsten Krebserkrankungen der Frau. Ein Teil dieser Falle geht
auf bekannte ererbte Gendefekte zuruck (BRCA 1 und BRCA 2,
Mutationen treten bei ca. 115.000 Frauen auf). Frauen mit diesen
Gendefekten tragen ein sehr hohes Risiko, schon in jungen Jahren an
Brust- oder Eierstockkrebs zu erkranken. Ausserdem haben Sie ein
hohes Rezidivrisiko.
Ein interdisziplinares Autorenteam hat fur den Bundesverband der
AOK ein so genanntes "Health Technology Assessment" zur Diagnostik
und Beratung des erblichen Brust- und Eierstockkrebses erstellt.
Das Buch bietet einen kompakten Uberblick uber:
- die genetische Beratung
- die verschiedenen molekulargenetischen Testverfahren
- ihre diagnostische Treffsicherheit und Verlasslichkeit und
- die Kosten
Es soll als Grundlage fur alle weiteren einzufuhrenden
Testprogramme fur erblich bedingte Krebserkrankungen in Deutschland
dienen."
