MedicineSeptember 2020Small Animal Veterinary Psychiatry
by Sagi Denenberg, Ali Thompson
Problem behaviours are often the result of how an animal thinks and feels, genetics, and environmental influences. Steering away from just description diagnoses and focusing instead on emotional and cognitive causes, this book provides a practical approach to diagnosing, treating, and managing behaviour pathologies in dogs and cats. Beginning by addressing cases in the first opinion practice, this book then considers physical disorders that may lead to or exacerbate abnormal behavior. From there, the focus shifts to mental and emotional health, from an assessment of normal behavior and giving juveniles an optimal start in life, to diagnosing mental and emotional disorders, addressing emotions such as anxiety and frustration, and how to manage these issues - by modifying behavior, managing the animal's environment, training, and, when necessary, the use of medications. The second half of the book then addresses owner concerns, including management problems, aggression, affective disorder, elimination disorder, abnormal and repetitive behaviours and ageing-related problems. With an emphasis on helping first line veterinarians identify common presentations and offer help to owners, this book: - Addresses both normal and abnormal behaviour in cats and dogs from an emotion and cognition perspective; - Provides behaviour modification protocols, and drug doses and indications; - Includes handouts to be used both within the practice and with clients to help the veterinary surgeon manage the case. Written by international experts, the book translates their insights and experience into approaches taken in behavioural medicine. Also including the most up-to-date drugs, it is an important resource for both small animal veterinarians and students of veterinary medicine or animal behaviour.

The ArtsMarch 2006Art history
A critical introduction to its methods
by Michael Hatt, Charlotte Klonk
Art History: A critical introduction to its methods provides a lively and stimulating introduction to methodological debates within art history. Offering a lucid account of approaches from Hegel to post-colonialism, the book provides a sense of art history's own history as a discipline from its emergence in the late-eighteenth century to contemporary debates. By explaining the underlying philosophical and political assumptions behind each method, along with clear examples of how these are brought to bear on visual and historical analysis, the authors show that an adherence to a certain method is, in effect, a commitment to a set of beliefs and values. The book makes a strong case for the vitality of the discipline and its methodological centrality to new fields such as visual culture. This book will be of enormous value to undergraduate and graduate students, and also makes its own contributions to ongoing scholarly debates about theory and method. ;

Der Bau der Cheops-Pyramide
Analyse und Modellentwicklung
by Günter Fischer
Der monumentale Bau der Cheops-Pyramide fasziniert die Menschheit seit Jahrtausenden. In dieser Arbeit wird der Nachweis erbracht, dass der Bau über einen auf dem Bauwerk liegenden Transportweg erfolgt ist. Die neusten Ausgrabungen von Hatnub liefern einen archäologischen Beleg für die Richtigkeit des entwickelten Modells.Seit Jahrhunderten schon versuchen Wissenschaftler die Frage zu beantworten, wie die Ägypter es geschafft haben, mit den ihnen damals zur Verfügung stehenden einfachen Mitteln 2,32 Millionen Steine, von denen in den unteren zehn Steinlagen jeder über 5 Tonnen schwer ist, in einem tradierten Zeitraum von 20 bis 30 Jahren bis zu einer Höhe von ca. 147 Metern die Cheops-Pyramide zu errichten.Groß ist die Zahl der Erklärungsversuche. Immer neue Apparate und Methoden sind entwickelt worden, mit denen diese Steine von einer auf die nächst höhere Steinlage gehoben werden könnten. Diese Vorschläge haben sich alle als untauglich erwiesen, weil die Ausführung gemäß dieser Modelle, sofern sie bautechnisch überhaupt realisierbar ist, eine deutlich längere Bauzeit als 30 Jahre benötigt.Es braucht einen Paradigmenwechsel. Der Autor setzt zum ersten Mal für die Analyse und Modellentwicklung die exakten Methoden der Mathematik und Mechanik ein. Er beschreibt in der vorgelegten Abhandlung alle Abläufe auf der Großbaustelle bis ins letzte Detail. Seine in Diagrammen und Tabellen aufgezeichneten Ergebnisse können von jedermann verifiziert werden. Er liefert konkrete Zahlen für die Bauzeit, die Anzahl der eingesetzten Gespanne, Zugtiere und Arbeiter und vieles andere mehr.Mit zahlreichen Abbildungen und Tabellen.

A Novel of the Southwest Pacific Air War, November-December 1941
by Tom Burkhalter
November 1941: In the Pacific, war looms with Japan. In Europe, the Nazis are triumphant. England is under siege by air and sea. France has fallen, and the Nazi Wehrmacht is at the gates of Moscow itself. Japan has been at war with China since 1937. Japan’s war industries depend upon imports of scrap metal and oil from the Allied nations. The Allies place an embargo on imports to Japan in 1941. The Japanese have a year's supply of oil to supply their armed forces. Japan surrounds American possessions in the Philippines with overwhelming force on three sides. The US Army makes a desperate attempt to reinforce the Philippines garrison, but the clock is also ticking for the Japanese. The armed forces of Imperial Japan may attack the Philippines at any moment. Two brothers, Jack and Charlie Davis, are pilots in the US Army Air Forces. They are part of the reinforcements sent to the Far Eastern Air Force, charged with air defense of the Philippines. For Jack and Charlie, in a time when the US is on the brink of world war, a simple question must soon be answered: what will I do when the Japanese come?
