In any U. S. army unit of nine soldiers, one could find an Italian from New Jersey, a Jew from the Bronx, an Irishman from New York, a Swede from Minnesota, a good old boy from Georgia, a swaggering Texan, a smooth-faced Californian, a Bible reader from Tennessee, and a hayseed from North Dakota." Together they discover that serving their country during World War II was not just a duty, but also an honor and a privilege. Filled with warmth and humor, sadness and extraordinary horror, this is a real soldier's unforgettable story, having been a witness to and a participant in an event as monumental as any in history.
While higher education is still far from universal in the United States, it plays an increasingly large role in shaping our collective understanding of what knowledge counts as legitimate and important. Therefore, understanding the college curriculum and how it is changed and shaped helps us to understand the overall dynamics of knowledge in contemporary society. This book considers the emergence of three curricular fields that have developed and spread over the past half century in American higher education - Women's studies, Asian American studies and Queer/LGBT studies. It details the broader history of their development as knowledge fields and then explains how, when, and why individual colleges and universities may choose to adopt such innovations. Based on in-depth case studies of curricular change processes at six colleges and universities across the United States, the book demonstrates that social movements targeting colleges and universities play a major role in curricular change and sets forward a new model for understanding what it takes for social movements targeting organizations to make an impact.
La fonction du système cardiovasculaire est d acheminer oxygène et nutriments dans divers organes et de collectionner, en retour, le gaz carbonique. Pour assurer efficacement cette fonction de nutrition et d entretien, le système cardiovasculaire a besoin de maintenir l intégrité de sa structure anatomique pour pouvoir répondre aux différentes stimulations hormonales. Nous avons donc rassemblé, dans ce livre, les données scientifiques très bien connues pour rappeler la structure du système cardiovasculaire et surtout pour souligner les principes qui gouvernent la signalisation dans les cellules cardiovasculaires. Les mécanismes comparables décrits avec d autres types de cellules ont été aussi rapportés.
