'The Indistinct Human in Renaissance Literature is a brilliantly conceived collection that challenges the apparent stability of categories we have come to assume are fundamental to the ordering of the cosmos animal, vegetable, mineral, and, most of all, human. Its individual essays are scintillating: on every page we find a new revelation, a fresh reading of an old standard, a surprising juxtaposition, an original, and provocative argument. These essays will profoundly influence how Renaissance scholars perceive relationships between culture and environment in the period.' Karen Raber, professor of English, University of Mississippi

'A wonderfully deep and diverse collection on what may be the most important problem ecocriticism can now address: the culturally constructed boundary between human and other forms of life. With insightful essays on sea-creatures, plant-grafting, wooden legs, stony hearts, and many other topics, The Indistinct Human in Renaissance Literature
deploys Renaissance literature to recover valuable lost perspectives on the collective vitality of our planet.' Robert Watson, Distinguished Professor of English, UCLA and author of Back to Nature: The Green and the Real in the Late Renaissance

“Politics in Contemporary Vietnam is a most welcome contribution towards better fathoming the changes the country is undergoing. All of the chapters contribute towards a better understanding of Vietnamese politics, although in quite different ways. … the chapters in this volume complement each other nicely and together form a strong contribution to the field.” (Arve Hansen, Journal of Contemporary Asia, Vol. 46 (1), 2016)

From the book reviews:“The target audience is researchers, clinicians, trainees, allied health professionals, and medical students. Given the emphasis and specificity of the chapters on early stage bladder cancer, this book seems most geared to urologists and urology trainees. … This is a very easy to use, clearly and expertly written, case- and clinical scenario-based reference that will be helpful to all who treat and study bladder cancer.” (Jean Hoffman-Censits, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2015)

Obwohl in den vergangenen Jahren viele Verbesserungen in die chirurgische
und medizinische Behandlung des Herz- und Lungenversagens einflossen, sind
die Ergebnisse f&uuml;r Patienten im Endstadium ihrer Erkrankung ern&uuml;chternd.
F&uuml;r viele dieser Patienten bleibt die Herz- oder Lungentransplantation
- "Routineverfahren" mit weltweit &uuml;ber 70.000 durchgef&uuml;hrten Eingriffen
- einzige Hoffnung und Therapie der Wahl. Lebensqualit&auml;t und -erwartung
der transplantierten Patienten beruht auf einer spezialisierten Immunsuppression
basierend auf einer komplexen Pathophysiologie. Andererseits bedarf die
Transplantationsmedizin in Zeiten dramatisch r&uuml;ckl&auml;ufiger Spenderzahlen
auch der politischen und legislativen Unterst&uuml;tzung. Dieser Band in der
Reihe "Basel Heart Workshop" fasst den derzeitigen Wissensstand auf diesen
Gebieten der thorakalen Organtransplantation zusammen.

Modernizing VATs in Africa is a remarkable treatise on VAT from a revered tax scholar and policy advisor. Although the book focuses on VAT policy and design issues in an African context, the authoritative and accessible manner in which the case for the best-practice VAT is argued - with references to African as well as non-African countries - suggests that it belongs on the shelves of all VAT scholars, policy makers and administrators.

From the book reviews:“In this multi-author volume, editors Gross, Davies, and Diab take an interdisciplinary approach to the exploration of the interconnectivity of gender, religion, and education in contemporary times. … This book is interesting and thought provoking. The articles are engaging and well supported. I recommend this compendium to anyone interested in exploring the relationship between gender, religion, and education.” (Lisa Davidson, Journal of Education and Christian Belief, Vol. 18 (2), 2014)

“This is a fantastic book with well-considered chapters and extensively researched references looking at the imaging characteristics of bone marrow disease on MRI by describing a pattern-based approach for image interpretation. … The main focus of the book is interpretation and diagnosis of diseases based on MRI patterns. … This book is mainly aimed at radiologists, but would also prove a valuable reference text for practitioners with an interest in haematology or oncology.” (Ian Pressney and Asif Saifuddin, RAD Magazine, August, 2015)“This is an in-depth book on the MRI appearances of normal, abnormal, and treated bone marrow. … it provides a pattern-based approach useful for both teaching and in day-to-day clinical practice. The audience includes all radiologists reading MRI examinations, including those in private and academic practice, as well as those in residency. The book also may be a resource for practitioners with an interest in hematology and oncology.” (B. Keegan Markhardt, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2015)

From the reviews:“Chapters are devoted to describing the construction, testing, and use of the instruments; reporting the decades-long results; and discussing how the results could, or should, be used to remedy some of the state and local discrepancies in the well-being of children. … The book will be of particular value to policy makers but will also be of interest to those who wish to have a better understanding of the overall well-being of children and youths in this country.” (David Elkind, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 58 (5), January, 2013)

Mit dem vorliegenden Band wird der Ertrag eines internationalen Symposions
dokumentiert, das vom 19. bis zum 24. September 2000 in Heidelberg stattgefunden
hat. Ziel des Symposiums war es, zentrale Regelungsbereiche des Menschenrechts&uuml;bereinkommens
zur Biomedizin des Europarates einer rechtsvergleichenden Analyse zu unterziehen.
Dabei wurde einerseits die Vereinbarkeit des &Uuml;bereinkommens mit zahlreichen
nationalen Rechtsordnungen untersucht, andererseits aber auch der Frage
nachgegangen, ob das Menschenrechts&uuml;bereinkommen vielleicht sogar &uuml;ber
Europa hinaus pr&auml;gend wirken kann. 24 L&auml;nderberichte, 7 Generalberichte
sowie 4 Grundlagenreferate liefern wichtige Informationen und Diskussionsanst&ouml;&szlig;e
zu den zentralen Problembereichen des Menschenrechts&uuml;bereinkommens.

Das Menschenrechtsübereinkommen zur Biomedizin des Europarates ¿ taugliches Vorbild für eine weltweit geltende Regelung?

From the reviews:

"Although being a well-established topic in the area of operations research, scheduling has gained increasing interest during the last years. … In her book ‘Just-in-Time scheduling’, Joanna Józefowska addresses this issue in five chapters. … The book is clearly structured and mostly well-written. … I can recommend the book to any reader who wants to deepen his or her understanding of scheduling problems and methods, in particular those that are relevant to just-in-time processes."
