Sociological Thought: From Comte to Sorokin

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Abraham, Francis / Morgan, John H., PUBLISHER: Wyndham Hall Press, Designed as a first-line introductory text to the study of sociological thought, this book is now considered a classic in the field and is a top seller in the Third World for university courses in sociological theory. The perspective is cross-cultural. The main currents of sociological thought, says the authors, advanced by the founders and the later masters represent different times, various cultural contexts and the many intellectual cross current representatives of each's time period. Rigorously defined (and not necessarily appropriately), these early thoughts were merely ideas rather than soundly constructed theories for building blocks of theoretical development. They provide insights into and perspectives on the structure and functioning of social systems and the conceptual frameworks for their systematic analysis. The history of sociology, then, is the history of social thought. This volume provides a carefully constructed look into the emerging social thought of the twentieth century as reflected in the emerging discipline of sociology.

Transformation of Rage: Mourning and Creativity in George

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Johnstone, Peggy Fitzhugh / Varga, Csaba, PUBLISHER: New York University Press, George Eliot has been widely praised both for the richness of her prose and the universality of her themes. In this compelling study, Peggy Fitzhugh Johnstone goes beyond these traditional foci to examine the role of aggression in Eliot's fiction and to find its source in the author's unconscious sense of loss stemming from traumatic family separations and deaths during her childhood and adolescence.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dehmer, Matthias / Emmert-Streib, Frank / Graber, Armin, PUBLISHER: Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, This book introduces a number of cutting edge statistical methods which can be used for the analysis of genomic, proteomic and metabolomic data sets. In particular in the field of systems biology, researchers are trying to analyze as much data as possible in a given biological system (such as a cell or an organ).

This book is written by biostatisticians and mathematicians but aimed at experimental researcher as well as computational biologists who often lack an appropriate background in statistical analysis.

Prehistoric Native Americans and Ecological Change: Human

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Delcourt, Paul A. / Delcourt, Hazel R., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, There has long been controversy between ecologists and archaeologists over the role of prehistoric Native Americans as agents of ecological change. Using ecological and archaeological data from the woodlands of eastern North America, Paul and Hazel Delcourt show that Holocene human ecosystems are complex adaptive systems in which humans have interacted with the environment on a series of spatial and time scales. Their work therefore has important implications for the conservation of biological diversity and for ecological restoration today, making it of great interest to ecologists and archaeologists alike.

Introduction to Patents Info.3rd E

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Van Dulken, Stephen, PUBLISHER: Routledge, This guide was originally published to fill a clear need for a practicable and readable primer to patents as a source of technical information. The good response that it has received led to publishing a second, and now a third edition. It was originally meant as a sourcebook for the British Library's Science Reference and Information Service (SRIS) patents seminars. These origins are reflected in a certain bias toward British interests, but patent documentation for the United States, Germany, and Japan as well as the international systems all have their own chapters. The guide is divided into three main sections. Section 1 explains the main points of the patent documentation of six patent offices: Britain, the European Patent Convention, the Patent Cooperation Treaty patents, the United States, Germany, and Japan. Section 2 covers finding patent information (a new chapter), patent classification, and patent information resources in the United Kingdom. Section 3 consists of appendices covering online, compact disc and Internet sources, a bibliography, a glossary, and lists of INID and country codes. Extensively revised to reflect changes in documentation and new sources, this third edition contains many new examples of front pages from patent specifications.
