The Huguenot-Anglican Refuge in Virginia is the history of a Huguenot emigrant community established in eight counties along the Rappahannock River of Virginia in 1687, with the arrival of an Anglican-ordained Huguenot minister from Cozes, France named John Bertrand. This Huguenot community, effectively hidden to researchers for more than 300 years, comes to life through the examination of county court records cross-referenced with French Protestant records in England and France. The 261 households and fifty-three indentured servants documented in this study, including a significant group from Bertrand's hometown of Cozes, comprise a large Huguenot migration to English America and the only one to fully embrace Anglicanism from its inception. In July 1687 a French exile named Durand de Dauphiné published a tract at The Hague outlining the pattern and geography of this migration. The tract included a short list of inducements Virginia officials were offering to attract Huguenot settlers to Rappahannock County. These included access to French preaching by a Huguenot minister who would also serve an established Anglican parish, and the availability of inexpensive land. John Bertrand was the first of five French exile ministers performing this dual track ministry in the Rappahannock region between 1687 and 1767.

Comment expliquer la réussite des Belges (1885-1960) et l'échec des Congolais (1960 à ce jour) dans le développement du Congo (prospérité du plus grand nombre)? L'auteur, un Congolais né au Congo belge, fait un triste constat. Les Belges savent organiser et commander contrairement aux Congolais. On fait la politique au Congo pour s'enrichir très vite, le Congo et les Congolais ne comptent pas. Et pourtant le Congo a tout pour réussir, mais à certaines conditions. Il doit remplacer la Constitution de 2006 et ne pas garder la classe politique actuelle, des ripoux notoires (kleptomanie, corruption et gabegie à grande échelle sans oublier l'omniprésence du tribalisme et du clientélisme), pour construire un Etat fort, dissuasif et prospère.

Do religious traditions not related to written texts have a history? The author explores this question using Buryat shamanism as a case study. Disentangling this religious tradition from its presumed ahistorical space, he places the history of Buryat shamanism in the context of sociopolitical events that unfolded in Mongolia and Transbaikalia between the late 16th and the 19th centuries.

Das vorliegende Buch ist eine politische Biographie des Begründers der modernen Ukraine Symon V. Petljura. Dieser spielte eine wichtige Rolle in der nationalen Bewegung der Ukraine vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg. Nach der Revolution 1917 im Russländischen Reich wurde er ein zentraler Akteur der Autonomie- und Staatsbildungsversuche der Ukrainer. Als Sozialdemokrat trug er wesentlich zum Sturz des 1918 von den Deutschen in Kiew eingesetzten Hetmans Pavlo Skoropads'kyj bei und setzte sich mit weiteren Revolutionären Anfang 1919 an die Spitze der Ukrainischen Volksrepublik (UNR). Als deren Oberster Otaman bzw. Präsident wurde er rasch zum anerkannten Führer, der im Russischen Bürgerkrieg die Autonomie und später die Unabhängigkeit der Ukraine gegen den Widerstand der Bolschewiki, Polens, der weißgardistischen russischen Generäle, der Staaten Westeuropas und der USA erkämpfen wollte. Er wurde 1926 im Pariser Exil von einem gedungenen bolschewistischen Attentäter ermordet. Diese Biographie stellt einen Versuch dar, Petljuras Ideen nationaler Unabhängigkeit sowie die Gründe seines Scheiterns zu erklären.

Normative, Atypical or Deviant? Interpreting Prehistoric and Protohistoric Child Burial Practices, the tenth volume in the SSCIP monograph series, explores the response of the living when dealing with the death of a child. This response is strongly connected to belief systems and concern for the fate of the deceased in the afterlife. The funerary rituals for each culture generally follow a prescribed format that will both satisfy the needs of the dead and ensure there are no negative consequences for the living. But how do we interpret burials that do not adhere to the recognised formula for their society? Can we find evidence that such differences involved positive or, indeed, negative emotions? Should atypical rites for children actually be considered normal since they are typical for their age cohort, differing only from those of adults, and perhaps simply reflect adult-centric interpretations of the past? The papers within the volume discuss these issues by focusing on juvenile burial practices in Europe and the Near East during recent prehistory and protohistory. The interpretation of normative, atypical or deviant is interrogated based on the context of the burials and the intentionality of the practice.

This book traces the diffusion trajectory of the second and third generation of British steam engines, the Watt and high-pressure models, covering the period 1774 to 1870. It begins by subjecting to econometric analysis the latest version of Dr. Kanefsky's database on 18th century steam engines coming up with an upward revision of the total amount of horsepower installed by 1800. Subsequent chapters delve into the determinants of the diffusion process through the third quarter of the 19th century relating to engines used both in mining and industry as well as transportation (railways, steam cars). The book's main contribution to the literature lies in drawing material from a very large volume of 18th- and 19th-century sources found in the Dibner Library of Rare Books, Smithsonian, and by utilizing a fair amount of technical literature pertaining to the economic factors driving the diffusion process. This great expansion of the empirical material has led to bringing multiple revisions to the work of other authors on the key aspects and determinants of the diffusion process. In conjunction with the publication by the author of an earlier monograph on the first generation of steam engines, the Newcomen model, the present study completes the task of offering the most comprehensive account of the preeminent and most strategic technology of the British Industrial Revolution. This book will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of economic history and history of technology, interested in a better understanding of the industrial revolution in general and the role of British steam engines in particular.

Parasitology, the study of parasites and their relationships to their hosts, is one of the most fascinating areas of the biology. Parasitology has traditionally been limited to parasitic Protozoa, Platyhelminthes, and Nemathelminthes, as well as those species of organisms that serve as vectors for parasites. But now a day it is approaching to all groups of Parasites including unicellular to multicellular organisms with special reference to taxonomy, classical morphology, ultra topography, bioecology, epidemiology, molecular heterogeneity, phylogeny, biochemistry, and in silico genome analysis to resolves it ambiguity in identification to biodiversity, biotechnology, and clinical diagnosis and health consequences. “Parasitology: Risks and Challenges for Health and Sustainability” emphasizes how parasites influence, and are influenced by, a complex web of interacting factors. The book has been divided into eight conventional chapters that cover all the aspects of Parasitology to show how topics are inter-related. The reader will find certain subjects are picked up, put down, discussed in more detail elsewhere, and then returned to in a later chapter.

What was the role of elected legislators? Was it to represent the opinions of constituents or to vote according to their informed opinions reflecting the needs of the kingdom? Most authorities have accepted Edmund Burke's depiction of 18th-century MPs, insisting it was their right to form their opinions without reference to the instructions of constituents. This study provides answers to these important questions and, in doing so, reveals that Burke's vision does not represent how the House of Commons functioned during the last two decades of the 18th century. Rather than focusing on specific issues or demographic groups, English MPs brings to the fore the legislative activity of a broad segment of late 18th-century English MPs. This book shows they were diligent legislators who attended to the needs of constituents, in the process developing strong connections with them. It demonstrates that these connections did not rest on shared beliefs in reformist ideologies except in, and around, the metropolis. Instead, they grew out of the members'timely and effective tending, session after session, to the host of measures brought forward by constituents and neighbours. McCahill explores, in fascinating detail, the consequences of this bond. In this book, McCahill draws from an impressive array of primary sources and secondary literature to combine a structural analysis with broad surveys and detailed case-studies. The result is an illuminating and a comprehensive account of the House of Commons between 1760 and 1790.

Management of childhood cancer involves knowledge of multiple specialties and skillsets. Case-based learning, originating at Harvard Business School in 1920, is a well-established educational method. A good working definition of case-based learning in medical practice is by Thistlewaite et al.'The goal of case-based learning is to prepare students for clinical practice, through the use of authentic clinical cases. Case-based learning provides students with an opportunity to see theory in practice and real cases expose them to multiple opinions and counter points'.

Zu Lebzeiten für seine emotional aufgeladenen Meereslandschaften mit Schiffen gefeiert und umworben, geriet Anton Melbye nach seinem Tod allmählich in Vergessenheit und wurde erst in den letzten Jahren wiederentdeckt. Insbesondere in seinen ab 1846 entstandenen Bildern des leeren Ozeans entwickelte der dänische Künstler das Seestück zu einem Spiegel der Seele, der Sehnsüchte und Ambitionen seiner Zeit. Erstmals in der Kunstgeschichte ohne Zeichen von Mensch, Schiff oder Küste zielt die bewegte Meeresoberfläche seiner Meereseinsamkeiten in ihrer Gleichförmigkeit, Undurchdringlichkeit und räumlichen Unendlichkeit auf die Verunsicherung der Betrachtenden und wird zur Projektionsfläche existenzieller Reflexion. Von Regine Gerhardt liegt nun das wissenschaftliche Standardwerk zum Leben und Schaffen dieses einzigartigen Malers vor. ANTON MELBYEs (1818, Kopenhagen–1875, Paris) Lebensstationen in Kopenhagen, Hamburg, Paris und Konstantinopel bilden eine Nord-Süd-Achse, anhand derer die europäische Dimension einer erfolgreichen Künstlerkarriere im 19. Jahrhunderts sichtbar wird. Neben seinen in Öl gemalten Seestücken fand er für seine technisch komplexen Kohle- und Kreidezeichnungen Anerkennung und genoss – wie auch seine Künstlerbrüder Vilhelm und Fritz Melbye – die Wertschätzung privater Kunstsammler. REGINE GERHARDT (1969–2018, Hamburg) studierte Geschichte und Kunstgeschichte in Hamburg und Dublin. Sie wirkte bis zu ihrem Tod als freie Kunsthistorikern zur bildenden Kunst des 19. Jahrhunderts. Ihre Promotion zu Leben und Werk Anton Melbyes erfährt mit dieser Veröffentlichung eine späte Würdigung.

Die Wurzeln der antisemitischen Agitation Johann von Leers'reichen in die Weimarer Republik zurück, wo er sich seit 1929 in Berlin als Redner und Journalist an der Seite von Goebbels profilierte. 1936 erhielt er einen Ruf an die Universität Jena, um dort »Judenforschung« zu betreiben. Kennzeichen seines uferlosen publizistischen Werks in Presse und Rundfunk war ein fanatischer Antisemitismus, der – im Rückblick auf die Verbrechen der Nationalsozialisten – die Ausgrenzung und Vernichtung der Juden als unumkehrbare Konsequenz erscheinen lässt. Nach Internierung, Illegalität und Flucht 1950 blieb Johann von Leers weiterhin als »Prophet des völkischen Antisemitismus« aktiv. In Buenos Aires zählte er zu den maßgeblichen Akteuren in den Netzwerken unbelehrbarer Nationalsozialisten. 1956 siedelte er nach Kairo über, wo er sich in den Dienst der antiisraelischen Propaganda stellte. Einige Jahre arbeitete er auch dem Bundesnachrichtendienst zu. Leers'Wirken im Kontext der antisemitischen Propaganda der Nationalsozialisten wie auch in den Netzwerken der »antisemitischen Internationale« der 1950er- und 1960er-Jahre ist von der Forschung lange Zeit nicht weiter beachtet worden. Diese Lücke schließt dieses Buch.

This book explores the latest developments in chemistry research.

A powerful and impassioned historical account of the largest successful revolt by enslaved people in history: the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1803“One of the seminal texts about the history of slavery and abolition.... Provocative and empowering.” —The New York Times Book ReviewThe Black Jacobins, by Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, was the first major analysis of the uprising that began in the wake of the storming of the Bastille in France and became the model for liberation movements from Africa to Cuba. It is the story of the French colony of San Domingo, a place where the brutality of plantation owners toward enslaved people was horrifyingly severe. And it is the story of a charismatic and barely literate enslaved person named Toussaint L'Ouverture, who successfully led the Black people of San Domingo against successive invasions by overwhelming French, Spanish, and English forces—and in the process helped form the first independent post-colonial nation in the Caribbean.With a new introduction (2023) by Professor David Scott.

Integrins are heterodimeric cell surface receptors which anchor cells to different extracellular matrix proteins or act as cell-cell receptors. They play pivotal roles not only across a wide range of physiological processes including tissue morphogenesis, wound healing, and regulation of cell growth, but also in numerous pathological conditions such as autoimmunity, infectious disease, and carcinogenesis. This book aims to provide readers a summary of the most important integrins and their respective biological functions. Readers will learn about knockout- and animal models to study the functionality of key collagen-, laminin-, and nephronectin-binding integrins. Additionally, the role of integrins in pathological tissue remodeling in joints and in developing and diseased cardiac tissue are discussed. Reviews of the current knowledge of the role of integrins in tissue and tumor fibrosis, angiogenesis and tumor progression are an important part of this work. Finally, the bookdiscusses integrins in the context of the immune system, how to target integrin-ligand interactions with antibodies, and the role of integrins as receptors for bacterial and viral cell invasion. Both experienced researchers and clinicians, as well as PhD students who wish to study the extracellular matrix and cell adhesion molecules will find “Integrins in Health and Disease - Key Effectors of Cell-Matrix and Cell-Cell Interactions” authoritative, easily accessible, and vastly informative.The series Biology of Extracellular Matrix is published in collaboration with the American Society for Matrix Biology and the International Society for Matrix Biology.

Este libro es una invitación a conocer, estudiar, adentrarse en la geografía de Colombia. Lejos de ser una suma de conocimientos que agotaría la tan compleja geografía del territorio nacional, este libro recoge los trabajos de más de 30 autores, quienes, cada uno desde su experiencia, proponen sus lecturas del territorio nacional o de territorios de escala local o intermedia. Mediante esta polifonía, el lector va dilucidando los trazos fundamentales de la dinámica territorial actual de Colombia. En tanto producto de un proyecto de investigación del Departamento de Geografía de la Universidad Nacional, en asocio con la Universidad del Tolima y con la colaboración del Instituto de Estudios Regionales de la Universidad de Antioquia, es un reflejo de la geografía universitaria colombiana contemporánea: una geografía abierta y actualizada que se interesa por territorios múltiples, multiescalares, multidimensionales y temporalmente situados. El libro articula capítulos con un enfoque temático, centrados en el análisis de diferentes dimensiones del territorio nacional (histórica, política, demográfica, ambiental, cultural, económica y social) y capítulos con un enfoque territorial, que desarrollan estudios de casos problematizados analizados a escala local o regional.

In TG 17 werden zwei Bücher Tönnies'aus dem Jahr 1926 wieder zugänglich. Die schmale Monographie'Das Eigentum'behandelt ein tagesaktuelles Thema. 1926 gipfelte die seit 1918 intensive politische Diskussion zum Umgang mit dem konfiszierten Eigentum der in der Revolution entmachteten Fürsten in Volksbegehren und Volksentscheid. Tönnies vertieft in eine grundsätzliche rechtssoziologische Ausarbeitung zum Eigentum, besonders dem Bodeneigentum. Die Sammlung'Soziologische Studien und Kritiken II'macht einen großen Teil der kleineren Schriften zugänglich, in denen Tönnies seinen Zugang zur Soziologie zwischen den großen Monographien'Gemeinschaft und Gesellschaft (1887, TG 2) und der'Einführung in die Soziologie'(1931, TG 21) entwickelt. Das reicht von begrifflich-konzeptionellen Überlegungen über die Auseinandersetzung mit der Geschichte des soziologischen Denkens in Philosophie und Staatswissenschaft bis zu Analysen, in denen Tönnies die Fruchtbarkeit der Begriffe seiner Soziologie an sozialen Zusammenhängen erprobt. Wichtig hier vor allem seine Soziologie des Versicherungswesens, an der er zeigt, wie sich eine gemeinschaftliche Institution der gegenseitigen Hilfe in ein Geschäft wandelt und wie dieses durch staatliche Regulierung modifiziert wird; in Tönnies'Perspektive ein Beispiel für die Entwicklung des Kapitalismus zum'Sozialismus', zu einer sozialen Marktwirtschaft. Von höchstem Interesse auch die Auseinandersetzung mit der Geschichtsphilosophie Ernst Troeltschs.

Auszug:'Es ist nur ein Abenteuer, was ich erzählen will, eines, dessen Knoten sich leicht und leichtsinnig schürzte, um plötzlich von der scharfen Sichel des Todes durchschnitten zu werden. Es wird nicht an Solchen fehlen, denen dieser Schnitt zu jäh und heftig durchs Herz geht. Diese werden darüber klagen, daß die poetische Gerechtigkeit fehle, daß sie von einem solchen Schicksal ohne Versöhnung scheiden müssen. Mir aber scheint, daß der Tod, wenn er Jugend und Schönheit hinrafft, selbst zum Dichter wird, der das Vollkommene in unserm Andenken verewigt und das Liebenswürdige vor dem Raub der Zeit beschützt. Das Leben ist roh und gewaltsam. Ueber kurz oder lang zwingt es auch die zarteste Gestalt unter das harte Joch der irdischen Noth und Nothwehr. Der Tod, wenn er an die Jugend herantritt, lüftet ihr nur die Flügel, ehe sie geknickt werden. Wer sich nicht damit versöhnen kann, daß der Sturm im Frühling Blüthen zu Tausenden von den Bäumen reißt, ehe sie Frucht angesetzt, der lasse diese Geschichte ungelesen.'

It is widely recognised that developments in the chick embryo have a profound effect on hatchability and the subsequent health and productive capacity of poultry. With a stronger focus on welfare, prevention of disease and more sustainable poultry production, understanding these early stages has never been more crucial. Embryo development and hatchery practice in poultry production addresses the key stages and factors in embryo development in poultry to optimise hatchability and chick health. The book reviews the role of parental and environmental factors on embryo development and skeletal growth, as well as the use of feed extracts and probiotics to improve chick growth and boost immune function. The book also reviews the effects of incubation on chick health and development, including factors such as temperature, light exposure and humidity. Through focussed and authoritative discussions, the book details best practices for managing a hatchery environment to ensure that chick welfare, health and productive capacity are optimized. Edited by one of the most notable names in the field, Embryo development and hatchery practice in poultry production will be a standard reference for poultry scientists, breeders, government and private sector agencies supporting sustainable poultry production.
