Summary : Einen ganz anderen Blick auf die wichtigsten weltpolitischen Ereignisse als die gängigen Medien bietet das World Socialist Web Site. Das Organ des Internationalen Komitees der Vierten Internationale arbeitet an den theoretischen und kulturellen Grundlagen einer neuen Arbeiterbewegung. Diesem Ziel entsprechend verlangt es rigorose Aufrichtigkeit. Seine Analysen sind ebenso präzise und faktenreich wie seine Stellungnahmen politisch scharf und treffend. Es bemüht sich um ein möglichst breites Themenspektrum und begrüßt kontroverse Debatten und Diskussionsbeiträge. Neben Artikeln zu den entscheidenden politischen Entwicklungen weltweit veröffentlicht das WSWS Nachrichten aus der Arbeitswelt, sowie Besprechungen neuer Bücher, Filme und Ausstellungen.

Summary : For the past 140 years, Germany has been the central power in continental europe. Twenty-five years ago a new German state came into being. How much do we really understand this new Germany, and how do its people understand themselves? Neil MacGregor argues that, uniquely for any European country, no coherent, overarching narrative of Germany's history can be constructed, for in Germany both geography and history have always been unstable. Its frontiers have constantly shifted. Königsberg, home to the greatest German philosopher, Immanuel Kant, is now Kaliningrad, Russia; Strasbourg, in whose cathedral Wolfgang von Geothe, Germany's greatest writer, discovered the distinctiveness of his country's art and history, now lies within the borders of France. For most of the five hundred years covered by this book Germany has been composed of many separate political units, each with a distinct history. And any comfortable national story Germans might have told themselves before 1914 was destroyed by the events of the following thirty years. German history may be inherently fragmented, but it contains a large number of widely shared memories, awarenesses, and experiences; examining some of these is the purpose of this book. MacGregor chooses objects and ideas, people and places that still resonate in the new Germany—porcelain from Dresden and rubble from its ruins, Bauhaus design and the German sausage, the crown of Charlemagne and the gates of Buchenwald—to show us something of its collective imagination. There has never been a book about Germany quite like it.

Summary : FOUR STARS from Doody's Star Ratings™ The expanded and fully updated second edition of Orthopedic Biomechanics explains the effects of mechanical influences on the musculoskeletal system and highlights the importance of biomechanical knowledge in the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of orthopedic injuries and disorders. Clear and concise discussion of the forces acting on bones, tendons, and ligaments facilitates a solid understanding of current and past research, complex concepts, and technical information in orthopedic biomechanics. Readers will also find practical guidance for applying their knowledge to solving actual clinical problems. The book begins by summarizing the basic principles of biomechanics and mathematical theory, including biomaterials science, vector algebra, and movement in two and three dimensions. It then moves on to the mechanical properties of musculoskeletal tissues, with chapters devoted to muscle and muscle function; the modeling of joint loads; gait analysis; and the mechanical aspects of the hip, knee, spine, shoulder, and foot. Key Features: New "Solved Problems" chapter with clinically relevant biomechanical questions and their step-by-step solutions using mathematical and mechanical reasoning New chapters on biomechanics of the foot and gait analysis Detailed descriptions of simplified model calculations for determining static and dynamic joint load-a fundamental issue in orthopedic biomechanics Essential physics and mathematics only, with limited use of complex vector equations More than 300 line illustrations References and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter, serving as an overview of scientific work on the topic Orthopedic Biomechanics, 2nd Edition, is an essential resource for practitioners and students of orthopedics, orthopedic surgery, prosthetics and orthotics, and physiotherapy. Comprehensive in scope but approachable in coverage, the book provides the insights and tools needed to make informed clinical decisions.

Summary : How do we read stories? How do they engage our minds and create meaning? Are they a mental construct, a linguistic one or a cultural one? What is the difference between real stories and fictional ones? This book addresses such questions by describing the conceptual and linguistic underpinnings of narrative interpretation. Barbara Dancygier discusses literary texts as linguistic artifacts, describing the processes which drive the emergence of literary meaning. If a text means something to someone, she argues, there have to be linguistic phenomena that make it possible. Drawing on blending theory and construction grammar, the book focuses its linguistic lens on the concepts of the narrator and the story, and defines narrative viewpoint in a new way. The examples come from a wide spectrum of texts, primarily novels and drama, by authors such as William Shakespeare, Margaret Atwood, Philip Roth, Dave Eggers, Jan Potocki and Mikhail Bulgakov.
