    Abstract: "[F]illed with rare encounters with Syria's oldest, most elite families. Critics of anthropology's taste for exoticism and marginality will savor this study of upper-class Damascus, a world that is urbane and cosmopolitan, yet in many ways as remote as the settings in which the best ethnography has traditionally been done.... [Written] with a nuanced appreciation of the cultural forms in question and how Damascenes themselves think, talk about, and create them." -- Andrew ShryockIn contemporary urban Syri

    Abstract: Überblick über die Entwicklung der Burg und des Schlosses als Adelssitze von 1000 bis 1800, der Kontinuität und Wandel der Bauaufgabe "Adelssitz" verdeutlicht. (LK/AC: Karth)
    Abstract: Biller leistete bereits Vorarbeiten mit "Die Adelsburg in Deutschland" (ID 27/93) und zeichnet hier auch für die Burgen-Kapitel verantwortlich; Großmann, Direktor des Germanistischen Nationalmuseums Nürnberg, behandelt das Schloss. Verbindend ist der Ansatz, Burg und Schloss als Architektur des Adels unter sich wandelnden historischen Bedingungen zu sehen und mit einer interdisziplinären Sichtweise die Forschung auf eine verlässliche Basis zu stellen. So leitet auch ein Überblick über die Forschungsgeschichte die chronologische Darstellung der Adelssitze im deutschsprachigen Raum in der Zeitspanne von etwa 1000 bis 1800 ein. Mit zahlreichen guten Abbildungen, mit eingeschobenen Themenblöcken, die verständlich Grundwissen vermitteln, mit Glossar, kommentiertem Literaturverzeichnis und Register wird eine Arbeit abgerundet, die in dieser gemeinsamen Darstellung von Burg und Schloss Kontinuität und Wandel der Bauaufgabe "Adelssitz" dokumentiert, in jedem nennenswerten Bestand zum Thema vorhanden sein sollte und dort auf das Interesse einer breiteren Leserschaft stoßen dürfte.

    Abstract: A number of factors, from soaring fuel prices to genetically modified agricultural products, have greatly refocused worldwide attention on the interrelationship between technology and society and the necessity for sustainable engineering and business practices. Technology, Humans, and Society focuses on building a model for business and engineering that will lead to a sustainable world. The challenge for engineering is to develop new technologies that enable economic growth and do not deplete irreplaceable resources and destroy ecological systems. No longer solely the domain of environmentalists and ecologists, "sustainable" or "green" business practices and engineering designs are becoming a central part of the planning of many of the world's most influential companies, such as Hewlett-Packard, Honeywell, Dow, and Agilent. Companies are overwhelmingly not only finding that sustainable business and engineering practices are good for environment, but also improve the image of the company and quite frequently the "bottom-line." Dorf's 1975 publication, Technology and Society (ISBN: 0878350470), sold over 70,000 copies. The completely new Technology, Humans, and Society is created to meet the swelling demand for unified practices of both business people and technologists in the creation of a "greener" sustainable world. * Readable discussion of key issues of sustainable engineering and business design and practice * Covers how to plan and implement a business practice that leads to an environmental, social and economic balance that results in profitable growth.

    Abstract: This comprehensive volume examines the gradual reduction of mobility in the elderly. The authors first review the physiological and psychological changes that occur as we age, and go on to illustrate how this gradual decrease in adequate mobility can lead to an increase in automotive accidents. They also review the limitations that mass transportation systems and driving individual vehicles present for the elderly, and discuss different assistive devices that have been and should be implemented to help improve mobility.
