Uncertain Tastes: Memory, Ambivalence, and the Politics of Eating in Samburu, Northern Kenya
ISBN: 9780520257375 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This richly drawn ethnography of Samburu cattle herders in northern Kenya examines the effects of an epochal shift in their basic diet-from a regimen of milk, meat, and blood to one of purchased agricultural products. In his innovative analysis, Jon Holtzman uses food as a way to contextualize and measure the profound changes occurring in Samburu social and material life. He shows that if Samburu reaction to the new foods is primarily negative--they are referred to disparagingly as "gray food" and "government food"--it is also deeply ambivalent. For example, the Samburu attribute a host of...

Killing Your Neighbors: Friendship and Violence in Northern Kenya and Beyond
ISBN: 9780520291911 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Neighboring communities who once lived together in peace have committed some of the most disturbing genocidal violence in recent decades: ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia; the slaughter of Tutsis in Rwanda; or Sunni-versus-Shia violence in today's Iraq. As these instances illustrate, lethal violence does not always come at the hands of outsiders or foreigners--it can come just as easily from someone who was once considered a friend. Employing a multisited, multivocal approach to ethnography, Killing Your Neighbors examines how peaceful neighbors become involved in lethal...

Lysosomes: A Survey
ISBN: 9783709184110 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This brief monograph is intended chiefly for non-specialists and for others interested in a concise introduction to the field. The literature on lysosomes is growing so rapidly that any effort at exhaustive comprehensiveness would be foredoomed to failure. Fortunately, an extensive series of reviews has been published in the past few years (see especially DINGLE and FELL 1969; DINGLE 1972, 1973 a; HERS and VAN HoOF 1973) and the "history" of the organelles is brief enough that major contributors to all stages of that history are still available to provide first-hand discussions (e. g. , DE...

Object Lessons: Teaching Math Through the Visual Arts, K-5
ISBN: 9781571107961 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When Caren Holtzman and Lynn Susholtz look around a classroom, they see "a veritable goldmine of mathematical investigations" involving number, measurement, size, shape, symmetry, ratio, and proportion. They also think of the ways great artists have employed these concepts in their depictions of objects and space--for example, Picasso's use of geometric shapes in his Cubist still lifes or contemporary artist Tara Donovan's room-sized sculptures of everyday items. In their new book Object Lessons, Caren (a math educator) and Lynn (an artist and art educator) use a highly visual...

Wireless Communications: Future Directions
ISBN: 9780792393160 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 339 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The past several years have been exciting for wireless communications. The public appetite for new services and equipment continues to grow. The Second Generation systems that have absorbed our attention during recent years will soon be commercial realities. In addition to these standard systems, we see an explosion of technical alternatives for meeting the demand for wireless communications. The debates about competing solutions to the same problem are a sign of the scientific and technical immaturity of our field. Here we have an application in search of technology rather than the reverse....

Surgery of the Diencephalon
ISBN: 9781468455885 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The problems of surgical intervention in and about the diencephalic region have stimu- lated the interest of neurosurgeons throughout the world. It was therefore not totally surprising when Professor A. N. Konovalov proposed this topic for discussion at the Fifth Annual Stonwin Medical Conference. Bringing the leading figures in this area to New York for a roundtable conference was an exciting challenge. Professor Russel H. Patterson, Jr., generously consented to be our guest of honor. The conference was held at the Winston Estate on July 13-14, 1987, and met our every expectation for a...

Media Messages: What Film, Television, and Popular Music Teach Us about Race, Class, Gender, and Sexual Orientation
ISBN: 9780765617569 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 558 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The new edition of this widely adopted book reveals how the popular media contribute to widespread myths and misunderstanding about cultural diversity. While focused on the impact of television, feature film, and popular music, the authors reach far beyond media to explore how our understanding, values, and beliefs about race, class, gender and sexual orientation are constructed. They analyze how personal histories, combined with the collective history of oppression and liberation, contribute to stereotypes and misinformation, as well as how personal engagement with media can impact prospects...
