May 1997Wittgenstein im Kontext der analytischen Philosophie
by Peter M. S. Hacker, Peter M. S. Hacker, Joachim Schulte
Von Wittgensteins Werk Philosophische Untersuchungen ausgehend, richtet Hacker den Blick zunächst zurück, um den Kontext der Entstehung dieser epochemachenden Schrift zu schildern, und anschließend nach vorn, um die Wirkung von Wittgensteins Werk zu erkünden. Der Rückblick beginnt mit der Zeit der Jahrhundertwende, den Schriften des deutschen Logikers Gottlob Frege einerseits und den Arbeiten der englischen Philosophen Bertrand Russell und G. E. Moore andererseits. Damit wird zugleich der für Wittgensteins Denken bestimmende geistesgeschichtliche Rahmen abgesteckt: die Welt der in Logik und Begriffsanalyse avanciertesten Denker der deutschen wie der britischen Kultur. Hackers vergleichende Betrachtung konzentriert sich sodann auf die Entwicklung des wissenschaftstheoretisch und logisch orientierten Wiener Kreises (Schlick, Carnap, Neurath u. a.) und der eher an erkenntnistheoretischen und psychologischen Themen interessierten Cambridge-Philosophie der Vorkriegszeit. Im Anschluß an eine darauf folgende mustergültige Darstellung der Philosophischen Untersuchungen zeichnet Hacker den Weg der neueren analytischen Philosophie nach und behandelt dabei Autoren wie Quine, Dummett und Davidson, die in der gegenwärtigen Diskussion den Ton angeben.

MedicineAugust 2018Lyme Disease
An Evidence-based Approach
by John J Halperin
This new edition of Lyme Disease provides up-to-date evidence-based research and covers the significant advances in our understanding of the disorders referred to as Lyme disease or Lyme borreliosis. This book explores the causative organism, its requisite ecosystem, disease epidemiology, host-Borrelia interactions, diagnostic testing, clinical manifestations, therapeutic options, the role of host immunity on pathogenesis and long term prognosis. The authors provide balanced perspectives on all aspects of Lyme disease and explicitly review both the basic biology of the infection and practical clinical aspects. This new edition: Includes new borrelial pathogens that have been identified (B. miyamotoi, B. mayonii and B. bavariensis among others). Provides updated information on the molecular biology of the organism, neuroborreliosis, and the role of the C6 peptide in diagnosis. Discusses the controversies about 'chronic Lyme disease', post Lyme disease syndrome and other ongoing but non-specific symptoms that have been attributed to this infection. As the endemic footprint of Lyme disease continues to grow, this book provides a broad and detailed guide for clinicians and researchers involved with the diagnosis and treatment of the condition. Covering biology, epidemiology and therapeutics, it is also essential reading for students of global health and infectious disease.

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2010Human agents and social structures
by Peter J. Martin, Alex Denis
The structure/agency debate has been among the central issues in recent discussions of social theory. It has been widely assumed that the key theoretical task is to find a link between social structures and acting human beings - to reconcile the macro with the micro, society and the individual. The contributors to this book reject this solution to the problem. For them, both the concept of 'society' as an entity and the freely-acting 'individual' are theoretical fiction. Rather, the immediate task of the social sciences is to take the social world seriously, to understand the ways in which that world emerges dynamically from, and exerts influence on, the interactions of real people in real situations. This timely collection is not intended as an even-handed review of the debate, but as a deliberately polemical intervention which aims to highlight some of the ways in which its central terms have been misconceived. ;

BiodiversitySeptember 2001Invasive Alien Species
A Toolkit of Best Prevention and Management Practices
by Edited by R Wittenberg, Matthew J W Cock
Human activities have contributed to the distribution of many plant, animal and microbial species to parts of the world where they are not native. This spread of alien species can have devastating consequences on native biodiversity. Examples include alien mammals consuming native vegetation and alien insects spreading viruses, as well as plants such as water hyacinth, which has caused major problems to waterways when introduced from South America.The Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP) was established to address concerns with alien invasive species, formulated in the Convention on Biological Diversity. GISP is coordinated by:the Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE)the World Conservation Union (IUCN)CAB InternationalIts goal is to improve prevention and management of biological invasions, and this book represents a key outcome. It has been assembled by a team of international experts. Features include:case studies from around the globe, with some emphasis on islandsa focus on biodiversity, but with some consideration of traditional agriculture and forestryadvice on national management plans, including risk analysis.
