America's Philosopher

John Locke in American Intellectual Life

By: Claire Rydell Arcenas

America’s Philosopher examines how John Locke has been interpreted, reinterpreted, and misinterpreted over three centuries of American history. The influence of polymath philosopher John Locke (1632–1704) can still be found in a dizzying range of fields, as his writings touch on issues of identity, republicanism, and the nature of knowledge itself. Claire Rydell Arcenas’s new book tells the story of Americans’ longstanding yet ever-mutable obsession with this English thinker’s ideas, a saga whose most recent manifestations have found the so-called Father of Liberalism held up as a right-wing icon. The first book to detail Locke’s trans-Atlantic influence from the eighteenth century until today, America’s Philosopher shows how and why interpretations of his ideas have captivated Americans in ways few other philosophers—from any nation—ever have. As Arcenas makes clear, each generation has essentially remade Locke in its own image, taking inspiration and transmuting his ideas to suit the needs of the particular historical moment. Drawing from a host of vernacular sources to illuminate Locke’s often contradictory impact on American daily and intellectual life from before the Revolutionary War to the present, Arcenas delivers a pathbreaking work in the history of ideas.

Medical Complications of Psychiatric Illness

By: Claire Pomeroy,James E. Mitchell,James L. Roerig,Scott J. Crow

Psychiatric patients have an increased rate of morbidity and mortality due to physical illnesses. Distressingly, psychiatrists fail to recognize these comorbid medical illnesses in nearly half of all cases. All too often, the physical illness may be causing or exacerbating the psychiatric symptoms. Furthermore, the psychiatric condition itself and iatrogenic complications of medication or other treatments can result in serious medical pathology. Until now, most psychiatrists have deferred the general medical care of their patients to other practitioners. Yet because psychiatrists are uniquely positioned to provide health care that bridges somatic and mental conditions, they are increasingly being called on to ensure that their patients also receive adequate medical care. This breakthrough text responds to that call to action from a perspective unique in the literature: It focuses on the medical complications of psychiatric illnesses, rather than the more typical psychiatric complications of medical illnesses. This concise yet comprehensive book is intended for practitioners who treat adult medical patients. It is divided into two main sections: Health Care of Psychiatric Patients, organized by recommendations for routine medical management and reproductive health, focuses on the general health care maintenance of psychiatric patients with medical illnesses. Also discussed are the unique reproductive health needs of psychiatric patients, who are often at increased risk of coercive or abusive sexual relationships, rape and other sexual assaults, unplanned pregnancy, pregnancy complications, and sexually transmitted diseases. Psychiatric Disorders, organized by diagnostic groupings, focuses on those psychiatric disorders -- affective, anxiety, and somatoform disorders and dementia; schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders; Munchausen's syndrome and other factitious disorders; self-injurious behavior; eating disorders; and alcohol and drug abuse -- that most clearly can have medical complications. Using extensive notes and tables throughout, these distinguished contributors have created far more than just another compendium of medical illnesses that can present with psychiatric symptoms. Here you'll find a practical, detailed roadmap that will be welcomed not only by students, residents, and clinicians working with adult psychiatric patients who develop medical complications, but also by practitioners who manage psychiatric patients in a general medical practice.

Issues in the Study of Pidgin and Creole Languages

By: Claire Lefebvre

The content of this book is concerned with various issues at stake in Creole studies that are also of interest for general linguistics. These include the general issue of Creole genesis and of the accelerated linguistic change that characterizes the emergence of these languages as compared to ordinary cases of linguistic change, the problem of the development of morphology in incipient Creoles, the problem of the validity of data in linguistic analysis, the issue of multifunctionality as regards the concept of lexical entry, the question of whether Creole languages are semantically more transparent than languages not known as Creoles, the issue of whether Creole languages constitute a typologically identifiable class and the problem of the interaction between the processes involved in the emergence and development of Creole languages. The purpose of this book is to present the major debates that are currently taking place in the field of Creole studies; evaluate the arguments against data (mainly drawn from Haitian Creole); and address the issues at stake within the framework of new paradigms. The various positions on each issue are summarized on the basis of a thorough review of the literature.

Nanoscale Imaging and Characterisation of Amyloid-β

By: Claire Louisa Tinker-Mill

This thesis presents a method for reliably and robustly producing samples of amyloid-β (Aβ) by capturing them at various stages of aggregation, as well as the results of subsequent imaging with various atomic force microscopy (AFM) methods, all of which add value to the data gathered by collecting information on the peptide’s nanomechanical, elastic, thermal or spectroscopical properties. Amyloid-β (Aβ) undergoes a hierarchy of aggregation following a structural transition, making it an ideal subject of study using scanning probe microscopy (SPM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and other physical techniques. By imaging samples of Aβ with Ultrasonic Force Microscopy, a detailed substructure to the morphology is revealed, which correlates well with the most advanced cryo-EM work. Early stage work in the area of thermal and spectroscopical AFM is also presented, and indicates the promise these techniques may hold for imaging sensitive and complex biological materials. This thesis demonstrates that physical techniques can be highly complementary when studying the aggregation of amyloid peptides, and allow the detection of subtle differences in their aggregation processes.

Photographic Architecture in the Twentieth Century

Photographic Architecture in the Twentieth Century

By: Claire Zimmerman

One hundred years ago, architects found in the medium of photography—so good at representing a building’s lines and planes—a necessary way to promote their practices. It soon became apparent, however, that photography did more than reproduce what it depicted. It altered both subject and reception, as architecture in the twentieth century was enlisted as a form of mass communication. Claire Zimmerman reveals how photography profoundly influenced architectural design in the past century, playing an instrumental role in the evolution of modern architecture. Her “picture anthropology” demonstrates how buildings changed irrevocably and substantially through their interaction with photography, beginning with the emergence of mass-printed photographically illustrated texts in Germany before World War II and concluding with the postwar age of commercial advertising. In taking up “photographic architecture,” Zimmerman considers two interconnected topics: first, architectural photography and its circulation; and second, the impact of photography on architectural design. She describes how architectural photographic protocols developed in Germany in the early twentieth century, expanded significantly in the wartime and postwar diaspora, and accelerated dramatically with the advent of postmodernism. In modern architecture, she argues, how buildings looked and how photographs made them look overlapped in consequential ways. In architecture and photography, the modernist concepts that were visible to the largest number over the widest terrain with the greatest clarity carried the day. This richly illustrated work shows, for the first time, how new ideas and new buildings arose from the interplay of photography and architecture—transforming how we see the world and how we act on it.

A Grammar of Fongbe

By: Claire Lefebvre,Anne-Marie Brousseau

This book is a reference grammar of Fongbe, a language which is part of the Gbe dialect cluster. It is spoken mainly in the former kingdom of Dahomey, which today comprises the southern areas of Benin and Togo. This book has three objectives: First, its main purpose is to provide a thorough description of the grammar of Fongbe. Second, this book provides language-specific syntactic tests which were developed in the course of this research. Finally, we provide the reader with the most exhaustive list possible of references on Fongbe, and on the Gbe languages in general. This book thus attempts to represent a "state of the art" of the language itself, and of the analyses proposed to account for its particular constructions. This book is of particular interest to Africanists, scholars interested in comparative linguistics or in the reconstruction of language families, and creolists who work on the languages spoken in the Caribbean area.

The Renaissance and the Ottoman World

By: Anna Contadini,Dr. Claire Norton

The fourteen articles in this volume bring together some of the latest research on the cultural, intellectual and commercial interactions during the Renaissance between Western Europe and the Middle East, with particular reference to the Ottoman Empire. The articles contribute to an exciting cross-cultural and inter-disciplinary scholarly dialogue that explores elements of continuity and exchange between the two areas, and positions the Ottoman Empire as an integral element of the geo-political and cultural continuum within which the Renaissance evolved.

Violent Betrayal

Partner Abuse in Lesbian Relationships

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Violent Betrayal

Partner Abuse in Lesbian Relationships

By: Claire M. Renzetti

Based on a nationwide study of violence in lesbian relationships, this comprehensive, accessible volume derives from a common theme expressed by the subjects: the sense of having been betrayed, first by their lovers, and subsequently by a lesbian community which tends to deny the problem when victims seek help. Claire M. Renzetti skillfully addresses several central issues: consequences for victims, batterers and the community as a whole, and what we can learn about domestic violence in general by studying violence in lesbian relationships. The research offers a fresh look at domestic violence by examining the phenomenon of women as perpetrators of intimate violence against women, at the same time making a clear distinction between battering and self-defense. Students and professionals in victimology, gender studies, sociology, psychology, criminology, social work, clinical psychology, counseling, and family studies will not want to miss this brilliant work. "Violent Betrayal is an important contribution to domestic violence research and to the study of lesbian relationships. The study′s findings are immediately helpful to clinicians working with those battered in lesbian relationships and provides a deeper understanding of lesbian relationship dynamics. . . . Violent Betrayal dispels common myths about lesbian relationships that, sadly, both laypersons and those in the helping professions, possess." --Family Violence & Sexual Assault Bulletin "Claire Renzetti′s study represents a substantial contribution to understanding this underresearched population. Her recommendations for how services can be improved are essential reading for all service providers." --Readings: A Journal of Reviews and Commentary in Mental Health "A compendium of research on lesbian battering, [Violent Betrayal] contains significant and surprising information about this ignored problem." --Coalition Commentary "One of the first--if not the first--to provide empirical data about a neglected subsample of the battering population, namely battered lesbians. . . . Both qualitative and quantitative analyses of the data are used and are successfully integrated with the literature reviews and other information provided. This constitutes a unique contribution to the field of domestic violence research. It is well-written, and provides readable tables based on the data and illustrative quotes from interviews." --Susan L. Miller, Northern Illinois University "This is an important resource book for women who work with abused women and with lesbians. . . . This is a strong study--one of the first ′pure′ sociological studies on lesbian battering. It begins to open the door on this painful issue that many in our community would like to avoid." --Lambda Book Report "A valuable tool for those in the field of family violence. . . . Claire Renzetti outlines the responses that would help victims of lesbian partner abuse, including specific outreach by family violence programs and ongoing education for their staff and education for medical, police, and other emergency workers. . . . Violent Betrayal is long-awaited and necessary information for those confronting this violence, containing both useful profiles of battering situations and pointers toward responses and further study." --Gay People′s Chronicle "This book will be useful for those doing research on battering and other forms of violence against women, for therapists, and for use in courses on gender, on violence, and on links among theory, research, and practice. It provides rich reviews of relevant research, carefully reveals unexpected assumptions about battering, and provides directories of organizations that provide help. Moreover, Renzetti adds immensely to our knowledge by doing research in a neglected are. She contends that we must ′end the silence′; the book is a valuable sociological contribution to that goal." --Symposium "Renzetti′s analysis is in the best traditions of both feminist research and mainstream social science. Thus, this research is inspired , and informed throughout, by a practical desire to do something about the problem of lesbian battering--there are 10 pages of resource listings . . . and an impressive model for ′providing help to battered lesbians.′ . . . Renzetti′s research goes a long way toward dispelling much of the mythology. In addition, it provides a foundation for feminist theorists interested in getting at the root of violence in Western/American societies." --British Journal of Social Work "Renzetti carefully negotiates the terrain between simply generalizing from heterosexual battery to lesbian battery, arguing that lesbian battery is unique. . . . Her research also uncovers a variety of myths and assumptions within the lesbian community that may prevent friends and therapists from responding to the woman as a battered woman. This book will be useful for those doing research on battering and other forms of violence against women, for therapists, and for use in courses on gender, on violence, and on links among theory, research, and practice. . . . Provides rich reviews of relevant research. . . . Reveals unexamined assumptions about battering. . . . Provides directories of organizations that provide help. . . . Moreover, Renzetti adds immensely to our knowledge by doing research in a neglected area. . . . A valuable sociological contribution." --Contemporary Sociology "Highly recommended." --Family Violence & Sexual Assault Bulletin Book Club

Espionage and Enslavement in the Revolution

The True Story of Robert Townsend and Elizabeth

By: Claire Bellerjeau,Tiffany Yecke Brooks

In January 1785, a young African American woman named Elizabeth (Liss) was put on board the Lucretia in New York Harbor, bound for Charleston, where she would be sold to her fifth enslaver in just twenty-two years. Leaving behind a small child she had little hope of ever seeing again, Elizabeth was faced with the stark reality of being sold south to a life quite different from any she had known before. She had no idea that Robert Townsend, a son of the first family she was enslaved by, would locate her, safeguard her child, and return her to New York—nor that Robert, one of George Washington's most trusted spies, had joined an anti-slavery movement. As Robert and Elizabeth’s story unfolds, prominent Revolutionary figures cross their path, including Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Jupiter Hammon, John André, and John Adams, as well as participants in the Boston Massacre, the Sons of Liberty, the Battle of Long Island, Franklin’s Paris negotiations, and the Benedict Arnold treason plot. Elizabeth's journey brings a new perspective to America's founding—that of an enslaved Black woman seeking personal liberty in a country fighting for its own. The 2023 paperback edition includes a new chapter highlighting recent discoveries about Elizabeth's freedom and later life.

The Romance reflexes of the Latin infixes –I/ESC- and -IDI-: restructuring and remodeling processes.

By: Claire Meul

Eines der hervorstechenden Merkmale der romanischen Verbalmorphologie ist der Fortbestand der zwei lateinischen Überbleibsel -I/ESC- und -IDI̯-, deren formaler und funktionaler Gebrauch sich innerhalb der romanischen Sprachen um zwei grundlegende Pole dreht: -I/ESC- und -IDI̯- können als Derivations- oder als Flexionsmorpheme (oder zumindest flexionsgebunden) stehen. Obwohl -I/ESC- und -IDI̯- eine sehr vergleichbare Entwicklung genommen haben, sind sie noch nie in einer gemeinsamen Studie untersucht worden. Während das Schicksal von -I/ESC- bei Romanisten auf großes Interesse stieß, wurde die Verbindung zu -IDI̯- bis dato nur fragmentarisch beschrieben. Die vorliegende Studie möchte diese Lücke durch eine ergänzende Analyse der "Metamorphosen", die beide Segmente in der Fortentwicklung vom Lateinischen zum Romanischen genommen haben, schließen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf den Flexions- bzw. flexionsgebundenen Formen in den gegenwärtigen romanischen Sprachen. In methodischer Hinsicht kombiniert die Studie eine umfassende heuristische Analyse mit der Korpusanalyse neuer, empirisch erhobener Daten auf der Basis von (dialektologischer) Feldarbeit, elektronischen Befragungen, (neuesten) Wörterbüchern und Dialektatlanten. Die behandelten Themen verbinden Bereiche der theoretischen, historischen und Soziolinguistik.

Notizen aus dem Untergrund(dOCUMENTA (13): 100 Notes - 100 Thoughts, 100 Notizen - 100 Gedanken # 061)

By: Claire Pentecost

Claire Pentecosts »Notizen aus dem Untergrund« geben sonderbares und transdisziplinäres Wissen über den pflanzlichen Boden, seine Vorlieben und Bewohner preis. Wir lernen Vergessenes und Neues über die Herstellung von Kompost, die Wiederbelebung toten Bodens, bakterielle Moleküle, die kollektiv Signale produzieren, oder über die radikale Nähe zweier Organismen durch das Leben eines unverdauten Organismus im Inneren eines anderen. In ihrer untergründigen Kritik, die sie mit Zeichnungen »innerer Welten« illustriert, denkt die Künstlerin und Aktivistin Pentecost über die Bedrohung der gemeinschaftlichen Identität und der Träume menschlicher Subjekte im Kapitalismus nach. Dieses »Umgraben«, Analysieren und Mischen agrikultureller, ökologischer und molekularer Mikro-Prozesse vor dem Hintergrund aktueller sozio-politischer Entwicklungen lässt neue Ideen zur konfliktreichen Wechselbeziehung von »Natur« und Ökonomie keimen. Claire Pentecost (*1956) ist Künstlerin und Autorin; sie lebt in Chicago. Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch

Military Investigations in Armed Conflict

Independence and Impartiality under International Law

By: Claire Simmons

An allegation is made that a war crime was committed by a soldier during a conflict. Who should investigate the allegation? How should they investigate? This book explores a topic of critical importance in legal and policy discussions surrounding the accountability of military operations in armed conflict, and problematises some presumptions that are often made about the topic. The work provides the international legal framework necessary to address these questions and establishes the precise standards of independence and impartiality as applicable to investigations in armed conflict. It questions the assumption that the standards of independence and impartiality of investigations should be measured in the same way that we measure these standards for judges, courts, and tribunals. It also explores the ways in which military institutions and culture, as well as the context of armed conflict, may impact on the effectiveness of investigations or the perception of justice by those affected. By demonstrating the precise ways in which military investigations can contribute to or hinder the effectiveness of investigations, the book clarifies States’ responsibilities with regard to their accountability efforts for serious violations of international law in armed conflict. The work will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and policy-makers working in the areas of international humanitarian law, international human rights law, as well as political science and military ethics.

The Artist-Operas of Pfitzner, Krenek and Hindemith

Politics and the Ideology of the Artist

By: Claire Taylor-Jay

This is the first book-length study of the genre of 'artist-opera', in which the work's central character is an artist who is uncomfortable with his place in the world. It investigates how three such operas (Pfitzner's Palestrina (1915), Krenek's Jonny spielt auf (1926) and Hindemith's Mathis der Maler (1935)) contributed to the debate in early twentieth-century Germany about the place of art and the artist in modern society, and examines how far the artist-character may be taken as functioning as a persona for the real composer of the work. Because of their concern with the place of art within society, the works are also engaged with inherently political questions, and each opera is read in the light of the political context of its time: conservatism circa World War I, Americanism and democracy, and the rise of National Socialism.

Joy in the Mourning

Overcoming Bipolar Disorder

By: Claire Lieber

In 1971, Claire Lieber experienced a break with reality. After a high school orchestra trip to Texas, Claire began a rapid decline into sleeplessness and mania that soon degraded into psychosis. Her doctor suspected that someone had slipped her some LSD. During a hospitalization complicated by the growing drug culture, Claire spent several days before the doctor gave her anything to quell the mania. As the medication began to work, the high became a low and the awful truth began to seep in around the edges.It soon became evident that Claire was battling a serious illness, then known as manic depression. In a retelling of her personal story, Claire details the therapies, questionable medications, and nutrients that played an important role in guiding her down a challenging path through bipolar disorder to ultimately find wholeness. With candor and vulnerability, Claire reveals insight into the chain of events that unfolded after her diagnosis. She tells of the nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists and friends who helped her regain stability and achieve meaning. Claire explains how her relationship with Jesus sustained her and provided her with strength as she battled the disease. Joy in the Mourning is the true story of one woman’s seven year journey through bipolar disorder as she relied on her faith, inner strength, friends and dedicated health professionals to guide her on a path to a full life.
