Translationality

Essays in the Translational-Medical Humanities

By: Douglas Robinson

This book defines "translationality" by weaving a number of sub- and interdisciplinary interests through the medical humanities: medicine in literature, the translational history of medical literature, a medical (neuroscience) approach to literary translation and translational hermeneutics, and a humanities (phenomenological/performative) approach to translational medicine. It consists of three long essays: the first on the traditional medicine-in-literature side of the medical humanities, with a close look at a recent novel built around the Capgras delusion and other neurological misidentification disorders; the second beginning with the traditional history-of-medicine side of the medical humanities, but segueing into literary history, translation history, and translation theory; the third on the social neuroscience of translational hermeneutics. The conclusion links the discussion up with a humanistic (performative/phenomenological) take on translational medicine.

Fall Gelb 1940 (1)

Panzer breakthrough in the West

By: Douglas C. Dildy

Never in the history of warfare has the clash between such great and apparently equal forces been decided so swiftly and conclusively as the German conquest of France and the Low Countries in May and June of 1940. Not deigning to spend itself against the extensive fortifications of France's Maginot Lines, Hitler's Wehrmacht planned to advance its 136 (of 157) divisions through Belgium and northern France in order to destroy the Allied forces there and gain territory from which to prosecute continued combat operations against France and England. Beginning on 10 May 1940, this title follows the fortunes of Heeresgruppe A as its three Panzer Korps moved stealthily through the dark, hilly, and thickly forested Ardennes in southern Belgium before forcing a passage across the river Meuse and racing through France to the Channel in one of the most daring campaigns in history.

Jacques Rivette

Jacques Rivette

By: Douglas Morrey,Alison Smith

Jacques Rivette is perhaps the best-kept secret of French cinema. A founding figure in the New Wave, and at the centre of the Cahiers du cinéma team, he developed into one of the most unusual and adventurous French directors of the last sixty years, yet his work remains little-known in comparison with his contemporaries, and this study is the first in English to look at the full span of his career. Starting with his decisively influential film criticism of the 1950s, it moves from the New Wave through the complex, experimental films of the 1970s to the challenging, playful dramas which ensured his visibility during the following two decades, and ends in the present, including Rivette’s most recent films, Histoire de Marie et Julien (2003) and Ne touchez pas la hache (2007). The book takes a thematic approach, offering detailed discussion of key elements of Rivette’s film world, including games, conspiracy and jealousy, as well as a study of what Rivette’s cinema adds to our understanding of key theoretical concepts in Film Studies such as narrative, space and adaptation. There are many close analyses of sequences from Rivette’s films including Paris nous appartient (1961), Céline et Julie vont en bateau (1974) and La Belle Noiseuse (1991).

Valuing Health In Practice

Priorities, QALYs, and Choice

By: Douglas McCulloch

All of us are faced with the problem of scarcity in the health sector. Taking part in discussion requires an understanding of the main arguments used to justify new procedures, and to discard those existing ones which are not as effective. It is also important to understand the limitations of medical science, particularly the problems posed by the randomised controlled trial, as well as the potential of (for example) lattice analysis in situations where quality of life simply cannot be measured meaningfully

Nonparametric Comparative Statics and Stability

By: Douglas Hale,George Lady,John Maybee,James P. Quirk

The authors, leading researchers in the fields of mathematical economics and methodology, present the first comprehensive synthesis of literature on qualitative and other nonparametric techniques, which are important elements of comparative statics and stability analysis in economic theory. The topics covered show how to assess the comparative statics and stability of economic models without a precise quantitative knowledge of all model components. Applications of the analysis range from determining refutable hypotheses from theory to auditing the solutions of large, computer-based systems. This book discusses in depth the methodology involved in a nonparametric analysis of many neoclassical economic models. Constituting a virtually self-contained manual on such analysis, it provides detailed derivation of necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of restrictive comparative statics and stability results for a range of specified models. Further, algorithms for applying certain of these conditions are given, with examples, as well as the underlying mathematical approach taken. A large body of research is unified covering issues that have been dealt with piecemeal in scattered but important journal articles by the authors and others. The book will prove invaluable to mathematical economists, mathematicians specializing in matrix or graph theory, applied economists working with large-scale economic models, and advanced students of economics. Originally published in 1999. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

Hockey Doc

Cinquante ans d’anecdotes médicales avec le Club de hockey Canadien

By: Dr David S. Mulder,Dr Douglas G Kinnear

Le service des urgences de l’Hôpital général de Montréal (HGM) se trouvait si près du Forum que les joueurs du Club de hockey Canadien pouvaient enfiler leurs protège-lames et s’y rendre à pied. Cette proximité, qui n’était pas une coïncidence, est devenue au fil des ans une priorité pour le CH. À titre de médecin de l’équipe, le Dr Douglas Kinnear a assisté de l’intérieur à la conquête de douze Coupes Stanley. Pour sa part, le Dr David Mulder a fait partie pendant plus d’un demi-siècle de l’équipe médicale du Canadien qui a remporté huit Coupes Stanley au cours de son mandat. Dans l’ouvrage Hockey Doc, Cinquante ans d’anecdotes médicales avec le Club de hockey Canadien, ces deux médecins légendaires explorent la relation dynamique entre un médecin et les joueurs qu’ils ont si bien connus. Hockey Doc traite de l’évolution du programme médical du Club de hockey Canadien et de la façon dont il a été forgé par sa relation de longue date avec l’Hôpital général de Montréal et la famille Molson. Les auteurs décrivent les différents types de blessures que des joueurs de hockey sont susceptibles de subir et que leurs équipes médicales doivent savoir traiter, et racontent les hauts faits de leur carrière. L’ouvrage comporte des anecdotes savoureuses sur Saku Koivu, Trent McCleary, Patrick Roy, Maurice Richard, Gump Worsley, Bobby Orr, Guy Lafleur, Lou Lamoriello et le journaliste Red Fisher, entre autres. Hockey Doc permet au lecteur de partager le quotidien, et les situations souvent humoristiques, des joueurs et de leur médecin, tout en abordant le thème plus large de l’évolution de la médecine sportive telle que vécue par deux médecins de l’HGM. Les amateurs de hockey de tous âges et la communauté médicale québécoise liront avec plaisir Hockey Doc qui lève le voile sur les relations entre les athlètes professionnels blessés et le personnel médical d’un hôpital universitaire, ainsi que sur les blessures et maladies que les Drs Kinnear et Mulder ont traitées au cours de leur longue carrière.

France at Bay, 1870–1871

The Struggle for Paris

By: Douglas Fermer

The Franco-Prussian War did not end with the catastrophic French defeat at Sedan on 1 September 1870 when an entire French army surrendered, the Emperor Napoleon III was captured and his regime collapsed. The war went on for another five agonizing months, and resolved itself into a contest for Paris—for while Paris held out, France was undefeated. The story of this dramatic final phase of the war is the subject of Douglas Fermers masterly account, the sequel to his Sedan 1870. He weaves this story of military victory and defeat into a gripping narrative and it sets the extraordinary events of nearly 150 years ago in the wider context of European history.

The Wheat Rusts — Breeding for Resistance

The Wheat Rusts — Breeding for Resistance

By: Douglas R. Knott

The idea for this book was conceived by the late Dr. Irvine A. Watson of the University of Sydney, and he developed the first outline. I was then invited by Dr. Watson to share in its writing. Unfortunately, shortly there after, recurring heart problems forced him to curtail his activities and with draw from the project. He died before the book could be completed. Dr. Watson's intention was to produce a very practical book that would provide wheat breeders with all of the information necessary to breed success fully for resistance to the three wheat rusts: leaf rust, stem rust, and yellow rust. It was intended to be very specific in describing procedures to be used and at the same time provide all of the necessary theoretical background. I hope that I have been successful in meeting these objectives. The book assumes that the reader has some knowledge of plant pathology, genetics, and plant breeding. Extensive use has been made of the literature, but it was not possible to cite all of the papers on a given topic. In making a choice, an attempt was made to choose key papers or more recent papers that provided references to the earlier literature. Acknowledgements This book was written partly at the University of Saskatchewan and partly at the University of California, Davis, while I was on a sabbatical leave.

The Woman in the Fifth

A Novel

By: Douglas Kennedy

From the New York Times bestselling author of Leaving the World and The Moment comes the riveting story of a luckless college professor for whom Paris becomes a city of mortal danger. A runaway bestseller in the UK and France that has been made into a film starring Ethan Hawke and Kristin Scott Thomas, this suspenseful tour de force from the internationally renowned Douglas Kennedy is the quintessential sophisticated commercial novel. Harry Ricks is a man who has lost everything. A romantic mistake at the small American college where he used to teach has cost him his job, his marriage, and the love of his only child. Hounded by scandal, he flees to Paris, where a series of accidental encounters lands him in a grubby room with a job as night watchman for a sinister operation. Just when he begins to think he has hit rock bottom, romance enters his life in the form of Margit—a cultivated, widowed Hungarian émigré who shares Harry’s profound loneliness but who keeps her distance, remaining guarded about her past. As Harry wrestles with Margit’s reticence, he begins to notice that all those who have recently done him wrong are meeting unfortunate ends—and it soon becomes apparent that he has stumbled into a nightmare from which there is no escape. The Woman in the Fifth further establishes Douglas Kennedy as an author who “always has his brilliant finger on the entertaining parts of human sorrow, fury, and narrow escapes” (Lorrie Moore).

Putin on the March

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Putin on the March

The Russian President's Unchecked Global Advance

By: Douglas E. Schoen

In his 2016 book coauthored with Evan Roth Smith, Putin’s Master Plan, Doug Schoen warned of the Russian president’s grand vision to expand his country’s influence around the world, especially in Eastern Europe, while destabilizing the Western alliance and delegitimizing the very principles of free societies—and especially the political model of democracy’s exemplar, the United States. Now, in Putin on the March, Schoen brings the story up to date, warning that Putin’s mission is no abstraction but rather an active, ongoing campaign, and one that the Russian president has pursued with far more successes than setbacks. And Schoen warns again that the United States continues to lack a coherent plan for combating Russian aggression, political intrigue—including the cyberwarfare that has upended American politics—and the communications and propaganda offensive that seems continually to keep the Western democracies off balance. In Putin on the March, Schoen examines Russian moves across a range of geopolitical areas, including Moscow’s sustained menacing of its Eastern European neighbors, especially Ukraine, and analyzes Russia’s current posture regarding energy markets, the diplomatic situation, espionage and cyberwarfare, and Moscow-Washington relations. This follow-up reveals that Schoen’s previous warnings have been borne out. Under Putin’s leadership, Russia is achieving success in the three key areas in which it needs to prevail: foreign policy; control of Russian internal politics; and keeping the United States confused, demoralized, and even destabilized. Those who dismiss Putin’s behavior as unsustainable or reckless overlook the fundamental truth: he is getting away with it, and the more he gets away with, and the longer he does, the stronger he becomes—especially as the Western democracies grow more fractured both from their own internal problems and from lack of consensus on how to respond.

Temptation, The Woman in the Fifth, and Leaving the World

By: Douglas Kennedy

Three outstanding novels in one amazing eBook by internationally bestselling author Douglas Kennedy. Temptation: Like all would-be Hollywood screenwriters, David Armitage wants to be rich and famous. After eleven years of failure, luck finally comes his way when one of his scripts is bought for television. Suddenly a player in Tinsel Town, he finds he's reinventing himself at great speed, especially when it comes to walking out on his wife and daughter for a young producer who worships only at the altar of ambition. But David's upward mobility takes a strange turn when a billionaire film buff barges into his life, proposing a curious collaboration. The Woman in the Fifth: Now a major motion picture starring Ethan Hawke and Kristen Scott Thomas. Harry Ricks is a man who has lost everything. A scandal at the small college where he used to teach has cost him his job, his marriage, and his relationship with his only child. He flees to Paris in the bleak midwinter, where a series of accidental encounters lands him in a grubby room in a grubby quarter, and a job as a nightwatchman for a sinister operation. And then romance enters his life. Her name is Margit, an elegant, cultivated Hungarian emigre, widowed and alone. But Margit is guarded about her work, her past, and her life. Before he knows it, Harry finds himself waking up in a nightmare from which there is no easy escape. Leaving the World: Jane Howard is a professor in Boston, in love with a brilliant, erratic man, and finding motherhood to her young daughter an unexpected delight. But when a devastating turn of events tears her existence apart she has no choice but to flee all she knows. Just when she has renounced life itself, the disappearance of a young girl pulls her back from the edge and into an obsessive search for some sort of personal redemption. Convinced that she knows more about the case than the police do, she is forced to make a decision - stay hidden or bring to light a shattering truth.

Fall Gelb 1940 (2)

Airborne assault on the Low Countries

By: Douglas C. Dildy

A highly illustrated account of the daring German assault by Heersgruppe A through Holland and Belgium in May 1940. The great blitzkrieg campaign of May/June 1940 saw German forces pour through Holland and Belgium to confront the French and British. The assault was audacious; it relied on speed, feinting and manoeuvre as much as superior force, and in the end these qualities were to prove decisive to German success. Featuring vivid illustrations, illuminative bird's eye views and maps, this book charts the unfolding of an unprecedented 'lightning war', which saw the first ever airborne assault at a strategic level, and the largest clash of armour to date. Never in the history of warfare had the clash between such large, powerful, and apparently equal forces been decided so swiftly and conclusively.

The Place of Stone

Dighton Rock and the Erasure of America's Indigenous Past

By: Douglas Hunter

Claimed by many to be the most frequently documented artifact in American archeology, Dighton Rock is a forty-ton boulder covered in petroglyphs in southern Massachusetts. First noted by New England colonists in 1680, the rock's markings have been debated endlessly by scholars and everyday people alike on both sides of the Atlantic. The glyphs have been erroneously assigned to an array of non-Indigenous cultures: Norsemen, Egyptians, Lost Tribes of Israel, vanished Portuguese explorers, and even a prince from Atlantis. In this fascinating story rich in personalities and memorable characters, Douglas Hunter uses Dighton Rock to reveal the long, complex history of colonization, American archaeology, and the conceptualization of Indigenous people. Hunter argues that misinterpretations of the rock's markings share common motivations and have erased Indigenous people not only from their own history but from the landscape. He shows how Dighton Rock for centuries drove ideas about the original peopling of the Americas, including Bering Strait migration scenarios and the identity of the "Mound Builders." He argues the debates over Dighton Rock have served to answer two questions: Who belongs in America, and to whom does America belong?
