Bernard van Dieren (1887 - 1936) was a Dutch composer whose life was spent mostly in England. A respected but controversial composer (his admirers included the Sitwell brothers, Peter Warlock, Cecil Gray, Constant Lambert and Kaikhosru Sorabji) his music was little performed in his lifetime and after his death soon fell into obscurity. He was a man of many intellectual gifts and an accomplished writer. This book, Down Among the Dead Men, consists of five long essays: an explanatory introduction; two on composers who were neglected at the time of the book's first publication in 1933 - Busoni ("the best thing on Busoni in the English language" according to the composer Ronald Stevenson), and Meyerbeer; Music and Wit; and Sine Nomine, a plea for a reform of the ways in which music is written, written about, and programmed. In his preface to the book van Dieren writes that "The reader may often wonder where he will be dragged next. One moment he will feel that he is being held up intolerably long in obscure corners, the next that he is being rushed past an imposing edifice which he would wish to explore... I hope no more than that on the circuit I may be able to show some unfamiliar mews, alleys, and subways... I do not pretend to take the reader straight from the station to the hotel; I have tried to be a companion, not a guide. I believe I have shown him some queer customers in the bus and the Underground, and loafing at odd corners. Principal buildings and monuments are always in the same places and may be inspected at any time.
The Experimental Animal in Biomedical Research provides a concise, useful survey of knowledge regarding laboratory animal care. Volume I addresses researchers who use animals and focuses on how to maximize the welfare of animals used in research.
This book results from a two-day symposium and three-day workshop held in Cambridge between March 22nd and March 26th 1982 and sponsored by the Primate Society of Great Britain and the Anatomical Society of Great Britain and Ireland. More than 100 primatologists attended the symposium and some 35 were invited to participate in the workshop. Speakers from Prance, Germany, the Netherlands, South Africa and the U. S. A. , as weIl as the U. K. , were invited to contribute. In recent years feeling had strengthened that primatologists in Europe did not gather together sufficiently often. Distinctive tradit ions in primatology have developed in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy and the U. K. in particular, and it was feIt that attempts to blend them could only benefit primatology. Furthermore, studies of primate ecology, behaviour, anatomy, physiology and evolution have reached the points where further advances depend on inter-disciplinary collaboration. It was resolved to arrange a regular series of round table discussions on primate biology in Europe at the biennial meeting of the German Society for Anthropology and Human Genetics in Heidel berg in September 1979, where Holger Preuschoft organised sessions on primate ecology and anatomy. In June 1980 Michel Sakka convened a most effective working group in Paris to discuss cranial morphology and evolution. In 1982 it was the turn of the U. K.
Het derde jaarrapport gaat in op de effecten van armoede. Heeft het leven van een beperkt inkomen gevolgen voor de gezondheidssituatie van mensen? Zijn mensen met weinig geld beperkt in hun maatschappelijk functioneren, bijvoorbeeld doordat ze minder kunnen deelnemen aan organisaties en verenigingen, minder participeren in culturele activiteiten en minder informele contacten onderhouden? Wat betekent een gering inkomen voor de maatschappelijke participatie van ouderen? En is er een verband tussen armoede en criminaliteit, in de zin dat kinderen uit gedepriveerde gezinnen meer crimineel en andere regelovertredend gedrag vertonen dan kinderen uit meer welgestelde gezinnen? In verschillende hoofdstukken wordt verder ingegaan op de centrale begrippen in de discussie over armoede en sociale uitsluiting, op de oorzaken van armoede in Nederland en op diverse aspecten van het gevoerde armoedebeleid.
