Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Because of a lack of appreciation for his efforts in developing modern polymer science, the contributions of Hermann Staudinger were disregarded for decades. There have also been delays in recognizing the contributions of other pioneers in polymer science. Hence, it is gratifying to note that Professor Seymour chaired an American Chemical Society Symposium focusing on the contributions of these pioneers and that Kluwer Academic Publishers has published the proceedings of this important symposium. H.Mark v DEDICATION This book on Pioneers in Polymer Science is dedicated to Nobel Laureate Polymer Scientists Hermann Staudinger, Emil Fischer, Herman Mark, Paul J. Flory, Linus Pauling, Carl S. Marvel, M. Polanyi, Giulio Natta, Karl Ziegler, and Bruce Merrifield as well as to those pioneers such as J.C. Patrick, Robert Thomas, William Sparks, Maurice Huggins, Qtto Bayer, Leo Baekeland, Anselm Payer, Roger Boyer, Waldo Semon, Robert Banks, J.P. Hogan, and other pioneers who, to a large degree, were responsible for the development of the world's second largest industry. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The editor appreciates the contribution of co-authors Herman Mark, C.H. Fisher, and G. Alan Stahl who co chaired the Symposium on Pioneers in Polymer Science at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society at Seattle, WA in 1984 and who contributed a chapter in this book. The editor is particularly grateful to Mischa Thomas who typed this manuscript.

The Protocol of the Gods

A Study of the Kasuga Cult in Japanese History

By: Allan G. Grapard

The Protocol of the Gods is a pioneering study of the history of relations between Japanese native institutions (Shinto shrines) and imported Buddhist institutions (Buddhist temples). Using the Kasuga Shinto shrine and the Kofukuji Buddhist temple, one of the oldest and largest of the shrine-temple complexes, Allan Grapard characterizes what he calls the combinatory character of pre-modern Japanese religiosity. He argues that Shintoism and Buddhism should not be studied in isolation, as hitherto supposed. Rather, a study of the individual and shared characteristics of their respective origins, evolutions, structures, and practices can serve as a model for understanding the pre-modern Japanese religious experience. Spanning the years from a period before historical records to the forcible separation of the Kasuga-Kofukuji complex by the Meiji government in 1868, Grapard presents a wealth of little-known material. He includes translations of rare texts and provides new, accessible translations of familiar documents.

MRI/DTI Atlas of the Rat Brain

By: George Paxinos,Charles Watson,Evan Calabrese,Alexandra Badea,G. Allan Johnson

MRI/DTI Atlas of the Rat Brain offers two major enhancements when compared with earlier attempts to make MRI/DTI rat brain atlases. First, the spatial resolution at 25μm is considerably higher than previous data published. Secondly, the comprehensive set of MRI/DTI contrasts provided has enabled the authors to identify more than 80% of structures identified in The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates. - Ninety-six coronal levels from the olfactory bulb to the pyramidal decussation are depicted - Delineations primarily made on the basis of direct observations on the MRI contrasts - Each of the 96 open book pages displays four items— top left, the directionally colored fractional anisotropy image derived from DTI (DTI - FAC); top right, the diffusion-weighted image (DWI); bottom left, the gradient recalled echo (GRE); and bottom right, a diagrammatic synthesis of the information derived from these three images plus two additional images, which are not displayed (ARDC and RD). This is repeated for 96 coronal levels, which makes the levels 250 μm apart - The FAC images are shown in full color - The orientation of sections corresponds to that in Paxinos and Watson's The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, 7th Edition (2014) - The images have been obtained from 3D isotropic population averages (number of rats=5). All abbreviations of structure names are identical to the Paxinos & Watson histologic atlas

The Insect & Spider Collections of the World

By: Ross H. Arnett, Jr.,G. Allan Samuelson,Gordon M. Nishida

First published in 1993, completely rewritten, this second edition includes a list of all 210 countries of the world and all of the islands, with comments on the existence of insect and spider collections, both public and private. These listings are arranged alphabetically by country, state/province, and city, with private collections listed under the public collection with which they are registered. Part II of the directory is an alphabetical list of the codes assigned to each of the collections described in Part I. This list is also cross-referenced to variations of the codes used in other works, which will eliminate any confusion over this duplication. This classic work provides a ready reference to all collections and is required by all insect and spider systematists.

Poor Places

Disability-related Housing and Support Services

By: G. Allan Roeher Institute

This book examines disability related housing and support services in Canada. It describes the major sources of funding supporting these services and analyzes associated problems. A variety of policy options for improving the availability and quality of disability-related housing and support services is offered. The first chapter briefly describes the focus of the study and the second one describes funding arrangements including funding auspices and methods of transferring funds. Covered in chapter 3 on funding sources are programs funded by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (e.g., the Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program, the Rent Supplement Program, the Non-Profit Housing Program, and the Cooperative Housing Program); the Canada Assistance Plan; and other established programs. Discussed next is the interaction of funding sources. Chapter 5 provides an analysis of such topics as fragmentation of service, restrictive criteria, rigid rules, lack of service, residual orientation, service income linkages, administrative barriers, attitudinal barriers, standards, lack of control, lack of privacy, and need for changes. Chapter 6 identifies policy options in the areas of affordable housing, support services, and personal supports. Recommended are more funds for the provision of generic services, increased funding for housing assistance programs, and restructuring of funding arrangements. (DB)

Vulnerable

Sexual Abuse and People with an Intellectual Handicap

By: Charlene Y. Senn,G. Allan Roeher Institute,Canada. Family Violence Prevention Division

Based on research conducted by the G. Allan Roeher Institute, Canada's national institute for the study of public policy affecting persons with an intellectual impairment, the book provides a comprehensive treatment of child sexual abuse in individuals with an intellectual handicap, including prevalence, developmental disabilities as a risk factor, identification of child sexual abuse (verbal and nonverbal disclosures, masked signs and symptoms), treatment and effects of abuse, accessibility of services, prevention strategies, legal issues (consent, ability to testify, credibility of the child's testimony), and sex offenders who have an intellectual handicap. Sexual abuse in the community as well as in institutional settings is examined, and failures in the areas of judicial and social responsibility are noted. Recommendations are offered in the areas of prevention, service provision, research, and legal remedies. (JW)

Shared Feelings

A Parent Guide to Sexuality Education for Children, Adolescents and Adults who Have a Mental Handicap

By: Diane Maksym,Diane Elizabeth Maksym Hetherington,G. Allan Roeher Institute

This parent guide and accompanying discussion guide were developed to help parents of children with mental handicaps learn how to teach their sons and daughters about relationships and sexuality. The book is written from the point of view that sexuality education involves three things: developing self-esteem, teaching social skills, and giving sexual information about bodies and feelings. It contains ideas that help parents to talk to their chid about body changes and sexual feelings and gives facts about varieties of sexual expression. It encourages parents to talk about sexual issues in the context of the family's values. The book contains chapters on making decisions about marriage, parenthood, sex without marriage, and birth control. It also offers facts about sexually transmitted diseases and sexual abuse. A section of additional readings lists 14 English-language items for parents, 22 English-language items for children and youth, 11 French-language items for parents, and 15 French-language items for children and youth. The accompanying discussion guide is designed to facilitate discussion by small groups of parents. It offers discussion points and group exercises for seven sessions which are correlated with chapters in the parent guide. (JDD)

Unsafe on Any Highway

By: G. Allan Hagelthorn

This book offers insight to the woeful maintenance provided by some marine companies in the intermodal industry. Described is an accident that caused the death of two innocent people. This accident led to sworn testimony by intermodal personnel contradictory to other public statements made by a lobbying member of the same company. This testimony followed an American Trucking Associations petition calling for changes to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations to make the intermodal industry more responsible. The book is intended to stimulate the United States Congress to legislate new regulations the Department of Transportation has been unable to provide.

Research By/for/with Women with Disabilities

By: Aileen Wight-Felske,G. Allan Roeher Institute

This monograph provides a Canadian perspective on ways in which women with disabilities have been excluded from research, suggests a framework for research for and with women with disabilities, and presents guidelines for stereotype-free language. It also considers the role of research in society, comments on research methods, and considers ways of communicating about women and disabilities. It stresses the need for researchers to work for and with women with disabilities. Research areas of concern to women with disabilities are identified: employment, poverty, health, violence against women with disabilities, mothering, self-image, and reproductive technologies. Specific recommendations are made for research guidelines regarding values (e.g., generation of research questions by women with disabilities through advocacy organizations); methodology (e.g., disabled women should be involved as consultants when research tools are being developed); dissemination (e.g., women with disabilities need publishing grants and sponsorship to attend and organize conferences). A glossary of 15 research terms, a bibliography of 18 items, and a list of 11 books available from the Roeher Institute are also provided. (DB)
