Fluent Bodies examines the modernization of the indigenous healing practice, Ayurveda, in India. Combining contemporary ethnography with a study of key... historical moments as glimpsed through early-twentieth-century texts, Jean M. Langford argues that as Ayurveda evolved from an eclectic set of healing practices into a sign of Indian national culture, it was reimagined as a healing force not simply for bodily disorders but for colonial and postcolonial ills. Interweaving theory with narrative, Langford explores the strategies of contemporary practitioners who reconfigure Ayurvedic knowledge through institutions and technologies such as hospitals, anatomy labs, clinical trials, and sonograms. She shows how practitioners appropriate, transform, or circumvent the knowledge practices implicit in these institutions and technologies, destabilizing such categories as medicine, culture, science, symptom, and self, even as they deploy them in clinical practice. Ultimately, this study points to the future of Ayurveda in a transnational era as a remedy not only for the wounds of colonialism but also for an imagined cultural emptiness at the heart of global modernity. Students and scholars of postcolonial theory, medical anthropology, South Asia, and science studies will be enriched by this book.

Flugasche ist keine Metapher. 180 Tonnen davon schleudert das Kohlekraftwerk in B(itterfeld) täglich auf die Stadt und ihre Menschen. Die Reportage der... Journalistin Josefa Nadler, die diese Zusammenhänge aufdeckt, darf in der damaligen DDR (1981) nicht erscheinen. Nach dem Verbot verläßt Josefa den Freund, den Kollegenkreis und die große Gemeinschaft der Organisierten. Der andere Teil der Geschichte ist Josefas private Geschichte. Die junge Reporterin schwankt ständig zwischen Sehnsucht nach Geborgenheit und Freiheit und einer immerwährenden Angst vor Einsamkeit und Zwang. Wie leben, daß man sich selbst, seinen Gefühlen und seinen Ansprüchen gerecht wird? »...ein bemerkenswertes literarisches Debüt. Weil es in der DDR geschrieben wurde, dort keinen Verleger fand und nun in der Bundesrepublik gedruckt wird? Bemerkenswert ist dieses Buch ist vor allem in Hinblick auf seine erzählerischen Qualitäten, im Hinblick auf die Perspektive, die es wählt, um Wirklichkeit zur Sprache zu bringen.« Franz Josef Görtz, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Preise: Irmgard-Heilmann-Literaturpreis (1990) Brüder-Grimm-Preis (1991) Kleist-Preis (1992) Solothurner Literaturpreis (1994) Roswitha-Gedenkmedaille der Stadt Bad Gandersheim (1994) Buchpreis des Deutschen Verbandes evangelischer Büchereien (1995)

Fluid and Electrolyte Balance: Nursing Considerations, Fifth Edition takes a case study and applications approach that is ideal for undergraduate... nursing students. Completely revised and updated, this Fifth Edition provides in-depth discussion of fluid and electrolyte balance and imbalance with a strong focus on understanding pathophysiology. Further, it outlines basic concepts and gives an overview of the nursing considerations for fluid and electrolyte problems including sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and acid-base imbalances. Students will benefit from the easy-to-understand information on parenteral and enteral nutrition, caring for children and the elderly, and how to treat fluid and electrolyte problems involving gastrointestinal issues, congestive heart failure, brain injuries, pregnancy, and oncologic conditions. Additional features include illustrations and tables supporting each chapter s material. From fundamental concepts and assessment of fluid and electrolyte balance to coverage of major clinical problems, Fluid and Electrolyte Balance: Nursing Considerations, Fifth Edition prepares students for today's complex nursing environment.

This provocative study of the Latino political experience offers a nuanced, in-depth, and often surprising perspective on the factors affecting the... political engagement of a segment of the population that is now the nation's largest minority. Drawing from one hundred in-depth interviews, Lisa García Bedolla compares the political attitudes and behavior of Latinos in two communities: working-class East Los Angeles and middle-class Montebello. Asking how collective identity and social context have affected political socialization, political attitudes and practices, and levels of political participation among the foreign born and native born, she offers new findings that are often at odds with the conventional wisdom emphasizing the role socioeconomic status plays in political involvement.Fluid Borders includes the voices of many individuals, offers exciting new research on Latina women indicating that they are more likely than men to vote and to participate in political activities, and considers how the experience of social stigma affects the collective identification and political engagement of members of marginal groups. This innovative study points the way toward a better understanding of the Latino political experience, and how it differs from that of other racial groups, by situating it at the intersection of power, collective identity, and place.

This is the only available book that extends the classical field of fluid dynamics into the realm of scientific computing in a way that is both... comprehensive and accessible to the beginner. There are several additions and subject expansions in the Second Edition of Fluid Dynamics, including new Matlab and FORTRAN codes. Solution procedures and algorithms are developed immediately after problem formulations are presented, and numerical methods are introduced on a need-to-know basis and in increasing order of difficulty. Matlab codes are presented and discussed for a broad range of topics; from interfacial shapes in hydrostatics, to vortex dynamics, to Stokes flow, to turbulent flow. A must for practitioners and students in all fields of engineering, computational physics, scientific computing, and applied mathematics, this book can be used as a text in undergraduate and graduate courses in fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, and computational fluid dynamics.

This dynamic book offers a clear insight into the field of fluid mechanics, taking an approach toward analyzing fluid flows that develops each... subject from the theory of its basic laws to the illustration of actual engineering applications. The Fourth Edition features the most up-to-date applications of essential concepts as well as new coverage of the latest topics in the field today.

Whites Fluid Mechanics sixth edition will continue the text's tradition of excellent problems of different types, precision and accuracy, and good... application of concepts to engineering. The new 6th edition will feature the best general problem-solving approach to date, presented at the start of the book and carefully integrated in all examples. Students can progress from general ones to those involving design, multiple steps and computer usage. Word problems are included to build readers' conceptual understanding of the subject, and FE Exam problems (in multiple-choice format) are included. EES (Engineering Equation Solver) software is included so that students can effectively use the computer to model, solve and modify typical fluid mechanics problems. A DVD containing EES is free with every book, and Appendix E describes its use and application to fluid mechanics. A limited version of EES, that does not expire, is included on the CD ROM; users of the book can also download and distribute the full Academic Version of EES, which is renewed annually with a new username and password. Also an annimation library will be included as will an unlimited amount of problems, due to ARIS.
