Hypotheses and Evidence
by Jonathan M. Jeschke, Tina Heger
There are many hypotheses describing the interactions involved in biological invasions, but it is largely unknown whether they are backed up by empirical evidence. This book fills that gap by developing a tool for assessing research hypotheses and applying it to twelve invasion hypotheses, using the hierarchy-of-hypotheses (HoH) approach, and mapping the connections between theory and evidence. In Part 1, an overview chapter of invasion biology is followed by an introduction to the HoH approach and short chapters by science theorists and philosophers who comment on the approach. Part 2 outlines the invasion hypotheses and their interrelationships. These include biotic resistance and island susceptibility hypotheses, disturbance hypothesis, invasional meltdown hypothesis, enemy release hypothesis, evolution of increased competitive ability and shifting defence hypotheses, tens rule, phenotypic plasticity hypothesis, Darwin's naturalization and limiting similarity hypotheses and the propagule pressure hypothesis. Part 3 provides a synthesis and suggests future directions for invasion research

Epidemiology & medical statisticsJune 2013Genetic Epidemiology
Methods and Applications
by Melissa A Austin, Terri H Beaty, W David Dotson, Kelly Edwards, Stephanie M Fullerton, Marta Gwinn, Muin J Khoury, Barbara McKnight, Deborah Nickerson, Ruth Ottman, Bruce M Psaty, Stephen M Schwartz, John A Stamatoyannopolous, Janet L Stanford, Timothy A Thornton
Genetic epidemiology plays a key role in discovering genetic factors influencing health and disease, and in understanding how genes and environmental risk factors interact. There is growing interest in this field within public health, with the goal of translating the results into promoting health and preventing disease in both families and populations. This textbook provides graduate students with a working knowledge of genetic epidemiology research methods. Following an overview of the field, the book reviews key genetic concepts, provides an update on relevant genomic technology, including genome-wide chips and DNA sequencing, and describes methods for assessing the magnitude of genetic influences on diseases and risk factors. The book focuses on research study designs for discovering disease susceptibility genes, including family-based linkage analysis, candidate gene and genome-side association studies, assessing gene-environment interactions and epistasis, studies of Non-Mendelian inheritance, and statistical analyses of data from these studies. Specific applications of each research method are illustrated using a variety of diseases and risk factors relevant to public health, and useful web-based genetic analysis software, human reference panels, and repositories, that can greatly facilitate this work, are described. Concluding with a review of ethical issues and a framework for translating human genomics research to clinical practice and public health benefit, this textbook is an essential new resource for graduate students in epidemiology and public health genetics.

Humanities & Social Sciences8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS
The Defining Issue of the 21st Century
by Valorie M. Allen
The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.

Directors talk theat
by Maria M. Delgado, P. P. Heritage
In 1994 the Arts Council of Great Britain brought together a number of theatre directors as part of the City of Drama celebrations. This is a collection of interviews and discussions with directors who have helped shape the development of theatre in the last 20 years. They include Peter Brook, Peter Stein, Augusto Boal, Jorge Lavelli, Lluis Pasqual, Lev Dodin, Maria Irene Fornes, Jonathan Miller, Jatinder Verma, Peter Sellars, Declan Donnellan, Ariane Mnouchkine, Ion Caramitru, Yukio Ninagawa and Robert Wilson. In addition to the art and craft of directing, there are discussions on multiculturalism; the "classical" repertoire; theatre companies and institutions; working in a foreign language; opera; Shakespeare; new technologies; the art of acting; design; international festivals; politics and aesthetics; the audience; and theatre and society. Finally, there is an epilogue by Peter Brook, Jonathan Miller and Oliver Sacks. ;

March 2012Ausgewählte Schriften zur Diktatur der Kunst
by Jonathan Meese, Robert Eikmeyer
'Die Diktatur der Kunst ist die Herrschaft der Kunst, nicht des Künstlers. Kunst ist die einzige Alternative, denn nur Kunst als Stoff wechsel der Sache löst den revolutionären Druck und erschaff t den totalen Paradigma-Wechsel.' Spätestens seit der großen Werkschau 'Mama Johnny' 2006 propagiert Jonathan Meese unverhohlen die Herrschaft der Kunst. Mit der 'Hermetischen Revolution' und vor allem der 'Diktatur der Kunst' hat Meese sein bisheriges 'Wissen' zu einer Theorie verdichtet, die nun als Propaganda für die Sache der Kunst in Bild und Wort verbreitet werden kann. Robert Eikmeyer hat aus der großen Materialfülle ein opulentes, alle wichtigen Texttypen repräsentierendes Lesebuch zusammengestellt und um ein instruktives Nachwort sowie eine umfassende Meese-Bibliographie ergänzt.

Wie mein Vater mit mir in seine Vergangenheit reiste
by Jonathan Lichtenstein
1939 entkommt der zwölfjährige Hans mit einem der »Kindertransporte« aus Nazi-Deutschland. Als einer der wenigen Überlebenden seiner Familie ist er fortan auf sich alleine gestellt und lässt seine deutsch-jüdische Herkunft hinter sich. Als Erwachsener baut er sich im ländlichen Wales eine neue Existenz auf und gründet eine Familie. Über seine Vergangenheit spricht er nicht, und für seine Kinder ist es schwer, ihren verschlossenen, oft unnachgiebigen Vater und sein mitunter eigensinniges Verhalten zu verstehen. Erst in hohem Alter stellt Hans sich seiner Vergangenheit und reist mit seinem Sohn Jonathan zurück nach Berlin, zu seinen Wurzeln, entlang der ehemaligen Route des Kindertransports. Jonathan Lichtenstein erzählt auf drei Zeitebenen vom Leben mit einem Vater, das geprägt war von den Schatten der Vergangenheit – und davon, wie er ihm endlich näherkam. Ein Road Trip mitten hinein ins Trauma des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts – bewegend und versöhnlich.
