The Georgics, Lucretius and the Didactic Tradition

Virgil on the Nature of Things

'The most important theological developments for churches, inter-religious dialogues, and our common global humanity do not arise from developed countries. Since the 1976 founding of the Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians, the future of healthy, communal interaction among and between people, the environment, and the cosmos continues to unfold from the Third World or developing nations. Joseph has written a masterful, even magisterial, account of the hope and challenges of EATWOT and how we have to heed its message in order for humankind and all there is to survive in the twenty-first century.' - Dwight N. Hopkins, University of Chicago Divinity School, USA, and author of Being Human: Race, Culture, and Religion

'M. P. Joseph retells the story of the Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians brilliantly. He bursts the myth of globalization as characterized by disappearing borders and instead associates it with new, higher and stronger walls. This is the best analytical history of an organization that I have read in my over twenty years as an academic. For any theologian, ethicist, or scholar of global economics and politics interested in addressing marginalization and dehumanization of the poor, this book is a must-read.' - Eunice Kamaara, Professor of Religion, Moi University, Eldoret, Kenya, and author of Gender Relations, Youth Sexual Activity and HIV/AIDS: A Kenyan Experience

'The time could not be more appropriate for this rich insider account of the theological traditions of the churches of the South under the aegis of the Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians. In this book one of the leading theologians of Asia, M P Joseph, describes the continuing struggles of the poor and marginalized in the developing world against the ideology of 'money-theism.' In his passionate and incisive writing he displays the power of prophetic critique to unmask the powers overseeing the privatization of the common wealth of all the peoples of the earth and steering the global market towards ecocide.' - Michael S. Northcott, University of Edinburgh, UK

“Anesthesia and Neurotoxicity – a unique synthesis of basic science and clinical research – is concerned with the neurotoxic effects of anesthetic drugs. It is a concise, up-to-date review of the literature and could be a useful reference for anesthesia care providers who may have to allay their patients’ concerns about the potential harmful effects of general anesthesia.” (O. Predescu, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, Vol. 65 (10), October, 2018)“This book covers a wide range of anesthesia and neurotoxicity topics: from developmental neurotoxicity to POD and POCD, from animal studies to clinical evidence, from diagnosis of neurotoxicity to prevention and treatment approaches, and from symptoms to the underlying mechanisms.” (Xiaowen Bai, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 127 (2), August, 2018)

Anesthesia and Neurotoxicity

"At the fin de siècle, Latin America speaks the new international language of modernity: cosmopolitism, transnational spectacles, travels, and visuality. Uslenghi brilliantly analyzes the articulations, nuances, and controversies of that language in Brazilian, Argentine, and Mexican culture." - Graciela Montaldo, Columbia University, USA &nbsp; "The book's guiding argument militates against a facile casting of Latin American presence at the exhibitions as an exotic display for European spectators, and instead focuses on Latin American intellectuals availing themselves of the exhibitions as a point of departure for crafting and partaking of a cosmopolitan modernity on behalf of their transnational reading and viewing publics, a modernity that nevertheless finds itself incorporated into nationalist narratives.&nbsp;The study is particularly successful in asserting the relevance of literature and photography for grasping the international exhibitions' long-standing impact on Latin American societies." - Claire F. Fox, University of Iowa, USA &nbsp; "In three acts, drawing on a wealth of archive material, Uslenghi charts Latin Americans' attempts at 'conquering the image' the monumental mirrors of nineteenth-century world fairs shone back at them. This is truly pioneering work: a densely textured, theoretically acute study of the global circuits opened up by novel modes of making and circulating images and of the performances of spectatorship these called forth." - Jens Andermann, author of The Optic of the State: Visuality and Power in Argentina and Brazil

"Released in the Nineteenth-Century Major Lives and Letters series, this provocative study expands on Wolosky's groundbreaking work on rhetorical and cultural distinctions that mediated 19th-century America's emphasis on gender, predicating the rhetoric intersecting the literal and cultural. Wolosky is insightful in illuminating the gender, racial, regional, ethnic, civic, economic, and religious underpinnings of political and rhetorical constructions that define diverse poets and their work. Summing Up: Essential." - Choice

"Shira Wolosky, one of the most distinguished critics of poetry of our time, has here given us the authoritative literary-cultural study of nineteenth-century American poetry. Poetry and Public Discourse in Nineteenth-Century America offers illuminating accounts of major poets (Poe, Dickinson, Melville, Whitman); a brilliant exploration of the rhetorical strategies of American woman poets (beginning with Anne Bradstreet); a groundbreaking theoretical analysis of the relations between text and context - between public and private spheres of poetic expression, secular and religious languages, rhetorical traditions and issues of gender, region, race, and ethnicity - and a masterful reading of the full spectrum of nineteenth-century America poets, from the local colorists to negro spirituals. This book is the most comprehensive, most insightful history to date of nineteenth-century American poetry. It is also a provocative study of the singular/pluralist grammar of American identity. Finally, it is a far-reaching theoretical exploration of the manifold intersections of poetic form and cultural-historical continuity and change." - Sacvan Bercovitch, Powell M. Cabot Research Professor of American Literature, Harvard University

"Poetry and Public Discourse in Nineteenth-Century America picks up on Wolosky's previous ground-breaking work on the gendered basis of distinctions between the public and private to argue that rhetoric is the key medium linking poetics and culture for most writers during this century, attending especially to religious rhetoric as it functions to provide self-definition for poets across a range of beliefs. From Sigourney to Santayana and Stephen Crane - leaning heavily toward the second half of the century - this book contributes significantly to a new understanding of nineteenth-century poetry and culture." - Christanne Miller, Edward H. Butler Professor of Literature, University at Buffalo, SUNY

From the reviews:“This book addresses a serious public health issue -- obesity and how it affects the incidence, treatment, and outcomes in patients with hematologic malignancies. … It targets researchers in the obesity-cancer field, clinicians, pharmacists, and ancillary caregivers. … a good resource for select patient populations. … The book has enough diagrams and tables to give a visual depiction of what the text is explaining. … I am not aware of any other book that addresses the issue of obesity and hematological malignancies in this detail.” (Kehinde Adekola, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2012)

Energy Balance and Hematologic Malignancies

From the reviews:“This book provides a good overview of all the latest developments in the field. … there is enough high-quality information here to help the general diabetologist deal with the principles in the normal clinic setting. … This book will help clinicians help those people with diabetes who want to play sport and even for some like me, achieve the highest level of sporting success.” (Paul Grant, Diabetes Update, Winter, 2012)

From the reviews of the second edition:“The second edition of Chiral Separations: Methods and Protocols discusses almost every kind of chiral separation method, with the emphasis on fundamental research and experimental design. … it is a very useful book for scientists and students involved in the enantioseparation field, and scientists involved in R & D areas such as drug development and environmental monitoring can also benefit from this monograph. It is expected that this book will definitely promote research in chirality-related fields.” (Huwei Liu, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 406, 2014)“The book provides an overview and practically oriented applications of the most important analytical techniques in chiral separations. … the chapters include introductions, lists of necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step laboratory protocols, and troubleshooting tips. Pharmacists, biochemists, chemists, food chemists, molecular biologists, and forensic and environmental scientists will find this book extremely useful.” (Omer Iqbal, Doody’s Book Reviews, August, 2013)

From the reviews:"Overall, this is a stimulating book. As it says, the discrete-time framework has been underused in the past in the view of the fact that much real data in practice (I would even say most) is recorded in discrete time. Also, the applications listed, particularly the DNA sequencing, are important ad timely." (Martin Crowder, International Statistical Review 2009, 77, 2)"Barbu and Limnios’s goal is to present a complete picture of the basic theory of finite state space semi-Markov processes in discrete time, describe its applications to reliability and DNA analysis, and obtain estimation results for hidden semi-Markov models (HSSM). … Each chapter contains several exercises. There are five appendices that render the book self-contained. … I highly recommend this book for applied probabilists and statisticians interested in reliability and DNA analysis, and for theoretically oriented reliability and bioinformatics engineers." (P. R. Parthasarathy, ACM Computing Reviews, March, 2009)“…this book will be useful as  a reference for researchers interested in discrete-time semi-Markov and hidden semi-Markov processes…” (Biometrics 65, 1312, December 2009)

"By instituting what they introduce as the Africana Cultures and Policy Studies paradigm, these policy-oriented scholars make the novel yet common sense claim that the histories and experiences of those subject to policy decisions should serve as the foundation for policy making, analysis, and implementation. In the very moment that the US has the historic potential to chart a new course in domestic and foreign relations, Williams and his associates make clear: the very wretched of the earth that public policy set out to save may in fact save us all!" - Davarian L. Baldwin, Author of Chicago's New Negroes: Modernity, the Great Migration, and Black Urban Life

"This insightful book provides a paradigm for effectively making and implementing policy to improve the quality of life among disadvantaged Africana peoples. It inspires discourse across disciplines - intersecting studies in Africana history, culture and policy - and among community leaders, historians and policymakers." - Lillian Ashcraft-Eason, Professor of History, Bowling Green State University

"This collection provides a profoundly important contribution to the fields of Africana Studies, history, and public policy because it challenges scholars and activists to consider the ways in which historical and interdisciplinary research can contribute to broader discussions about race, culture, and the development of domestic and international policy.While most historical studies tend to avoid issues of policy and practical application, these essays boldly apply scholarly inquiry and historical research to public policy and offer important insights about how scholarly analysis can create meaningful transformation in the Black community and throughout the world." - Leslie M. Alexander, Associate Professor of History, The Ohio State University

"This a much needed and excellent attempt to incorporate the intersection of culture and structure in the development of social policy as it relates to Africana peoples in Africa and throughout the diaspora. It is an approach that can help us better understand why certain social policies are ineffective for 'marginalized' peoples. It is a must read for anyone interested in the intersection between Africana Studies, Political Science, Sociology, Social Policy, and the unity of theory and practice." - Dr. Terry Kershaw, Professor and Head, Department of African and African American Studies,University of Cincinnati, andEditor ofthe International Journal of Africana Studies

"This book offers innovative and broadly conceived intellectual work with practical application beyond the academy. From the challenges faced in our cities to foreign policy, this work represents a well delineated theory that offers fresh ideas on the practical uses of Africana scholarship. It is an outward-looking and analytically thorough exploration of the utility of scholarship and its role in social application." - Jeffrey O.G. Ogbar, Director, Institute for African American Studies and Associate Professor of History, University of Connecticut

The Standard Model of the electromagnetic and weak interactions offers
no explanations for the origin of the fermion mass and mixing parameters,
except that they arise from Yukawa couplings, which are free parameters
of the Model. The problem is worse when the question of neutrino masses
is considered and, despite its remarkable success on many fronts, the Standard
Model cannot explain some important experimental observations. In particular,
it is not possible to describe the phenomena of neutrino oscillations that
has been uncovered in recent years and, from a particle physics viewpoint,
this provides the most convincing evidence for physics beyond the Standard
Model. Following the trend of the previous workshops, we focus also on
the presentation of the current status of the main accelerator and non-accelerator
neutrino mass experiments (such as Super-Kamiokande, and SNO), the future
experimental projects (e.g., MiniBoone) and some of the phenomenology related
to them, as well as reviews of the theoretical and phenomenological ideas
related to the question of neutrino masses and related topics such as the
explanation for the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe.

Education and Career Choice represents a refreshingly different take on the issue of student choice at the age of 16, mixing existing figures on participation and in-depth interviews with students at the time of making choices. Understanding more about this process of choice will be important for policy-makers and academics, in the UK and elsewhere, faced with widening participation and a 14-19 curriculum attempting to offer choice of both vocational and academic routes without creating a two-track system. - Stephen Gorard, Anniversary Chair of Educational Studies, University of York, UK

'...a well-written piece of research. It certainly comes to life and engages the reader when the author lets the students speak for themselves as they narrate their stories of decision making and taking...The end result is an erudite piece of research with a human face.' - Dione Mifsud, British Educational Research Journal
