Language, Elites, and the State: Nationalism in Puerto Rico

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Barreto, Amilcar A., PUBLISHER: Praeger Publishers, For decades the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico and the Canadian province of Quebec have been riveted by the politics of nationalism, the question of their final status, and the protection of their local languages. In the name of cultural defense, the legislatures in San Juan and Quebec City have passed several laws focusing on protecting the vernacular. Barreto explores these two cases and challenges some general preconceived notions about nationalist movements. A common premise in ethnic conflict studies is that nationalism is caused by cultural traits, such as language or religion, or is a result of a region's subservient economic role vis-a-vis the country's core. However, Barreto contends that Puerto Rican and Quebecois elites turned to nationalism in reaction to their social marginalization and economic suppression. Anglophone elites in the U.S. and Canada established a hegemonic order making English a requirement for social and economic ascendancy. Shunned by the country's dominant group on account of their language, elites in Puerto Rico and Quebec took up the banner of nationalism attempting to establish a "counter-hegemonic" order. Thus, nationalism, Barreto contends, is an unanticipated reaction to the exclusionary attitudes and policies of one group against another. This analysis is important to political scientists, social scientists, and researchers involved with nationalism, ethnic conflict, and Puerto Rican and Canadian studies.

Molecular Biology of Parasitic Protozoa

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, Parsons / Smith, Deborah Ed. / Smith, Deborah F., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Protozoans are interesting creatures for several reasons, not least of which is their ability to live inside or among the cells of their host while resisting the host's cellular defences. The rigours of their lifestyle have resulted in the evolution of some remarkable adaptation at the biochemical level; many parasites have dispensed with entire metabolic pathways, and have evolved complex mechanisms for transmission to new hosts. Parasitic protozoa cause some of the major infectious diseases of humans and domestic animals. In recent years, new molecular biological techniques have opened up the study of the biology of these parasites, and tremendous advances have been made. This book covers this interesting and fast-moving field at an advanced level for which there is no other up-to-date book.

Methods of Housing Analysis: Techniques and Case Studies

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Maidment, Robert W., PUBLISHER: Center for Urban Policy Research, In order to understand and formulate housing policy and programs, it is necessary to have a working knowledge of the internal economic operation of housing from the points of view of both the investor and the owner. James W. Hughes argues that investors' and owners' behavior and activity tend to be governed by market forces and other realities. In that regard, he begins this work by analyzing market rates of return in real estate and housing undertakings, and the variety of analytical techniques which underlie their determination."Methods of Housing Analysis" is designed to provide urban planners with an introduction to the basic, quantitative techniques associated with the analysis of housing. A myriad of specific analytical methods has evolved in each of the professions concerned with this subject area. Planners, investors, developers, engineers, appraisers, social scientists, and governmental officials all tend to exhibit unique perspectives when examining housing and have developed their analytical frameworks accordingly. The work is comprised of an extensive discussion by the author, detailed case studies and examples, and a number of essays by leading experts that detail specific analytical procedures and demonstrate their use. The book is divided into four major sections: analysis of the internal operation of housing; basic cost-revenue analysis; expanded cost-revenue/benefit analysis; and government regulation of housing. The thorough nature of Hughes' discussion and of the related readings makes this volume an ideal textbook and reference source.

The Theoretical Foundation of Dendritic Function: The

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Segev, Idan / Rinzel, John, PUBLISHER: Bradford Book, Wilfrid Rall was a pioneer in establishing the integrative functions ofneuronal dendrites that have provided a foundation for neurobiology in general andcomputational neuroscience in particular. This collection of fifteen previouslypublished papers, some of them not widely available, have been carefully chosen andannotated by Rall's colleagues and other leading neuroscientists. It brings togetherRall's work over more than forty years, including his first papers extending cabletheory to complex dendritic trees, his ground-breaking paper introducingcompartmental analysis to computational neuroscience, and his studies of synapticintegration in motoneurons, dendrodendritic interactions, plasticity of dendriticspines, and active dendritic properties.Today it is well known that the brain'ssynaptic information is processed mostly in the dendrites where many of the plasticchanges underlying learning and memory take place. It is particularly timely to lookagain at the work of a major creator of the field, to appreciate where thingsstarted and where they have led, and to correct any misinterpretations of Rall'swork. The editors' introduction highlights the major insights that were gained fromRall's studies as well as from those of his collaborators and followers. It asks thequestions that Rall proposed during his scientific career and briefly summarizes theanswers.The papers include commentaries by Milton Brightman, Robert E. Burke, William R. Holmes, Donald R. Humphrey, Julian J. B. Jack, John Miller, StephenRedman, John Rinzel, Idan Segev, Gordon M. Shepherd, and Charles Wilson.
