"Anyone considering the addition of programs and requirements would find this book a useful step-by-step guide. The book covers almost every ground with appendices, activities, checklists, and selected resources for use. Anyone who needs advice and information for a curriculum change, and accreditation visit, or a general refinement will find this book a valuable source."&#8212;Journalism and Mass Communication Educator"This volume contains everything you ever wanted to know about outcomes assessment...and more. Part I examines outcomes assessment in terms of mission statements, accrediting associations, teaching evaluation, course evaluation, student portfolios, capstone courses, exit interviews, internships, and advisory boards. Part II describes assessment scales and methods in specific oral communication areas: public speaking evaluation, interpersonal skills, small group effectiveness, organizational communication competence, assessment in theatre, journalism accreditation, and media majors' exit exams. There's something for everyone. This is the sort of handbook your department chair should have read five years ago, and one that you'll want to keep near your desk for reference purposes. It's also the type of book that your colleagues will want to borrow once they find out you own it, so it's best to order one for the library as well."&#8212;Rebecca RubinKent State University"...a useful introduction to the general history and debates about assessment. It offers a good deal of specific advice about how to evaluate courses, teaching and other program elements. It also gives guidance in how to apply asessment measures in different communication specialties, particularly in speech and theatre."&#8212;Willard D. Rowland, Jr.University of Colorado, Boulder

Naturkatastrophen haben keineswegs immer nat&uuml;rliche Ursachen. Oft sind
es menschliche Eingriffe, die aus Naturereignissen erst Katastrophen machen.
Gerlinde und Heinrich Lamping sp&uuml;ren in diesem Buch den Ursachen und Folgen
der Naturkatastrophen nach: - Wie entstehen Erdbeben und Vulkanausbr&uuml;che,
St&uuml;rme und &Uuml;berschwemmungen, D&uuml;rre und Waldbr&auml;nde? - Wie kann man rechtzeitig
warnen, und welche Sicherheits vorkehrungen sind m&ouml;glich? - Wie sieht eine
sinnvolle Katastrophenhilfe aus? Landkarten zeigen die bedrohten Gegenden,
Photos von den zahlreichen Reisen der Autoren in die Katastrophengebiete
machen das Wirken der Naturgewalten und den m&uuml;hsamen Wiederaufbau anschaulich

&ldquo;I cannot remember reading a collection of poems in one sitting before, but I dove through Gatwood&rsquo;s in one evening&mdash;and then came up for air and dove again.&rdquo;&mdash;Lauren Berry, author of The Lifting Dress &#160; &ldquo;Gatwood&rsquo;s poems invite a contemporary understanding of sexuality and the feminine form, feminism and inclusion, intersection and advocacy. Her metaphors and images are both breath and being. This book is an offering to the silenced, for firepower and reflection. A haystack of hallelujahs resides in these pages.&rdquo;&mdash;Mahogany L. Browne, author of Black Girl Magic &#160; &ldquo;I love Olivia Gatwood&rsquo;s voice, her spirit, her genius way of turning and turning and turning a poem until it shines. These poems are a light. I&rsquo;d follow this book anywhere. I&rsquo;d trust it with my life.&rdquo;&mdash;Carrie Fountain, author of Burn Lake

From the reviews:

"Due to the increased prevalence in systemic fungal infections worldwide, more knowledge is needed about antifungal drug testing and research is very important. This book, which is one in the series of ‘Methods in Molecular Medicine’, describes both traditional and new techniques for the investigation of antifungal resistance and for the development and evaluation of new compounds. … By and large, this is an interesting book for mycological researchers in both laboratory and clinical medicine."

From the reviews:“This is an ambitious introduction to a particular direction in modern harmonic analysis. It presents harmonic analysis in vitro – in a context in which it is actually applied complex variables and partial differential equations. This will make the learning experience more meaningful for graduate students who are just beginning to forge a path of research.” (Vasily A. Chernecky, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1171, 2009)“Writing a 350 page account on harmonic analysis … is no easy task and making the presentation suitable for graduate students even less so. … it is indeed the purpose of the book under review … . Krantz has done an admirable job in condensing the ideas of Stein’s tract into a highly readily text suitable for a wide variety of readers. … It is done with such an enthusiasm … that even seasoned mathematicians should be able to enjoy the book.” (Troels Roussau Johansen, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 a)“The text is very well organized: each chapter begins with an introductory Prologue, each section with a Capsule giving a quick preview of the material, and each key theorem is preceded by a Prelude providing motivation and putting the result in an adequate context. … The book will be useful for advanced courses on harmonic analysis, singular integrals, as well as reference text for researchers in various domains of analysis, both pure and applied.” (Gabriela Kohr, Studia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai, Mathematica, Vol. LV (4), December, 2010)

&ldquo;The real story isn&rsquo;t about how Howard Stern had changed; it&rsquo;s about how he helped&nbsp;us&nbsp;change, making American culture a kinder and more soulful place by displaying the same passionate commitment to truth-telling that once burned brightly in the old Hebrew prophets&hellip;The prophets have always lived among the people they sought to sway back toward righteousness. Comport yourself as my moral and intellectual better, and I&rsquo;ll either shrug my shoulders and ignore you or contemplate giving you the finger; speak to me like an equal, and I&rsquo;ll listen. Stern the equalizer is on display on every page of his terrific new book. The move from audio to print does nothing to rob his conversations with the mighty&mdash;Madonna and Colbert, Paul McCartney and Joan Rivers, Amy Schumer and Donald Trump&mdash;of their energy and intimacy. Instead, they now read like a hopeful historical transcript, a steady stream of irrefutable grace amid an increasingly barren cultural terrain.&rdquo;  &mdash;Liel Leibovitz, Tablet Magazine

'At last here is a book that links women and mining across time and place. In this lively and original collection we cross continents, enter many types of mines, explore male and female responses to women miners, and see how women from mining communities in many different parts of the world have met challenges. These riveting stories and reflections help our understanding of the intricacies of gender relations and reveal the value of international and comparative history. They speak volumes about the bravery, persistence, and networks of mining women, whether facing exclusion, superstition, sexism, or big business. This book too mines a rich seam.' - Angela V. John, Honorary Professor of History, University of Wales, Aberystwyth, UK and author of By The Sweat of Their Brow: Women Workers at Victorian Coal Mines

'Mining Women mines the historic and global variety of women's participation in an industry commonly thought of as a masculine preserve. Spanning the mining industries of Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas from the 17th century to the present, Mining Women is a rich source for histories of women and gender, class and labor, mining and economic development. This transnational treasure challenges essentialist concepts of women's work, options, or possibilities to reveal rich and complex patterns of gender, activism, and resistance.' - Elizabeth Jameson, Imperial Oil& Lincoln McKay Chair in American Studies, University of Calgary, Canada and author of All That Glitters: Class, Conflict, and Community in Cripple Creek

'Mining Women is a brilliantly conceived and adeptly realized book. The chapters' evenness in length, analytical purpose, and clarity are models to be followed for any edited collection. The book is sure to be assessed as pivotal literature in future scholarship in the field. It should also be mandatory reading for graduate students and also has a place in undergraduate surveys.' - International Review of Social History

From the reviews:“The aim of the volume is explicitly stated as putting ››works of art and theories of science ›to work‹ in a shared enterprise of thinking representation beyond mimesis and convention‹‹ … . the collection take their inspiration from the theory of fiction and try to apply these inspirations to the study of scientific models. … the essays all make interesting and state-of-the-art contributions to their respective topics.” (Tobias Klauk, Journal of Literary Theory, August, 2011)“The aim of the book is to see what might be achieved by bringing the two impasse-stricken subjects together. … The collection … succeeds in displaying a variety of ways in which aesthetics can be applied to problems of representation in the philosophy of science. … this book will be a valuable point of reference.” (Clive Cazeaux, British Journal of Aesthetics, Vol. 52 (2), April, 2012)“The book … is a great example of interdisciplinary collaborative work, bringing together contributions by scholars of science and of art, around the topic of representation. … The result is a high-standard, remarkably edited book. … this rich and heterogeneous book clearly achieves the goal of showing the fruitfulness of an interdisciplinary approach to art and science … .” (Marion Vorms, Theoria, Vol. 75, 2012)

"This is an intriguing and invaluable book. Graham and Walters have unearthed a trove of correspondence which, for many years to come, will be a touchstone for scholars of African-American and African literatures and cultures. The book offers a moving account of the emergence of a transnational dynamic of encouragement and practical support among African diasporic writers." - Rob Nixon, Rachel Carson Professor of English, University of Wisconsin-Madison
