        Adapting Frankenstein

        The monster's eternal lives in popular culture

        by Dennis R. Cutchins, Dennis R. Perry

        Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is one of the most popular novels in western literature. It has been adapted and re-assembled in countless forms, from Hammer Horror films to young-adult books and bandes dessinées. Beginning with the idea of the 'Frankenstein Complex', this edited collection provides a series of creative readings that explore the elaborate intertextual networks that make up the novel's remarkable afterlife. It broadens the scope of research on Frankenstein while deepening our understanding of a text that, 200 years after its original publication, continues to intrigue and terrify us in new and unexpected ways.

        Philosophie der wirklichen Welt

        by John R. Searle, Harvey P. Gavagai, John R. Searle

        John R. Searle gehört zu den wirkmächtigsten Philosophen der Gegenwart. Er hat bahnbrechende Untersuchungen über Sprechakte veröffentlicht, eine eigene Konzeption von Intentionalität vorgelegt und das Funktionieren gesellschaftlicher Realität erklärt. Er hat die Diskussion um künstliche Intelligenz mit seinem Bild des »chinesischen Zimmers« bereichert und damit allen Vergleichen des menschlichen Geistes mit dem Computer ein vieldiskutiertes Argument beschert. Hier zieht Searle die Summe aus diesen Themen. Durch die leichtverständliche Darstellung und Searles Fähigkeit, komplexe Probleme in wenigen Sätzen zu skizzieren und zu lösen, eignet sich das Buch nicht nur als Einführung in Searles Denken, sondern auch als Einführung in die Gegenwartsphilosophie überhaupt.

        Popular science and public opinion in eighteenth-century France

        by Michael R. Lynn

        Now available in paperback, Michael R. Lynn's book analyses the popularisation of science in Enlightenment France. He examines the content of popular science, the methods of dissemination, the status of the popularisers and the audience, and the settings for dissemination and appropriation. Lynn introduces individuals like Jean-Antoine Nollet, who made a career out of applying electric shocks to people, and Perrin, who used his talented dog to lure customers to his physics show. He also examines scientifically oriented clubs like Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier's Musée de Monsieur which provided locations for people interested in science. Phenomena such as divining rods, used to find water and ores as well as to solve crimes; and balloons, the most spectacular of all types of popular science, demonstrate how people made use of their new knowledge. Lynn's study provides a clearer understanding of the role played by science in the Republic of Letters and the participation of the general population in the formation of public opinion on scientific matters.

        Infectious and Parasitic Diseases of Livestock (2 volume set)

        by P Lefèvre, J Blancou, R Chermette, G Uilenberg

        Translated from the French original published by Lavoisier In this new English language edition all the chapters have been updated with new references and additional chapters written by authors in the UK, USA, Australia and Canada. In recent years infectious livestock diseases have swept across many countries, often with dramatic consequences for animal and public health. With climatic changes modifying the distribution of vector-borne diseases, emerging novel pathogens can spread rapidly in new areas, at the same time as resistance spreads in places where they are established. This calls for new approaches for the control of parasitic diseases. This book presents in detail over 130 viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic diseases of large livestock species from all over the world, accompanied by very valuable and informative illustrations and photographs. Particular attention is also paid to the role of wildlife in their epidemiology, stressing the potential zoonotic characteristics of diseases where applicable and their effects on humans. As this a two volume set - higher delivery charges apply: UK: £8.00 Europe: €9.50 ROW - $15.00

        Warum Frauen im Sozialismus besseren Sex haben

        Und andere Argumente für ökonomische Unabhängigkeit

        by Kristen R. Ghodsee

        Im August 2017 sorgte ein Beitrag von Kristen R. Ghodsee in der New York Times für Furore. Der Titel: Warum Frauen im Sozialismus besseren Sex hatten. Bei »Sozialismus« mögen viele an alte Männer in grauen Anzügen denken. Tatsächlich aber garantierten zahlreiche sozialistische Länder ihren Bürgerinnen durch die Integration in den Arbeitsmarkt, Lohngleichheit und eine aktive Sozial- und Familienpolitik ein hohes Maß an ökonomischer Unabhängigkeit. Das erlaubte vielen Frauen, ihre Partner nicht nur unter dem Gesichtspunkt wirtschaftlicher Absicherung, sondern eben auch unter dem der individuellen Entfaltung zu wählen. Dreißig Jahre nach dem Ende des Staatssozialismus blickt die Historikerin und Ethnografin zurück und untersucht die Auswirkungen der kapitalistischen Transformation auf die Leben von Frauen. Die Lasten einer unregulierten Wirtschaft, so das Ergebnis ihres Essays, den sie nun erweitert als Buch vorlegt, tragen vor allem Frauen. Und sie sind es, die durch eine gerechtere Gesellschaft am meisten zu gewinnen haben.
