Special Education and Social Control

Invisible Disasters

By: Julienne Ford,Denis Mongon,Maurice Whelan

First published in 1982. Between 1955 and 1980 the number of pupils in special needs schools in Britain increased tenfold. Between 1970 and 1977 the number of units for ‘difficult’ pupils also increased tenfold and went on increasing. Some observers saw this as a welcome advance in special education, others as an extension of discrimination. The authors of this study highlight the dangers of such a provision being used as a form of social control, which may be imposed on children whose only failure is an inability to fit into the stereotype of the ideal student.

Rubber Technology

By: Maurice Morton

About ten years after the publication of the Second Edition (1973), it became apparent that it was time for an up-date of this book. This was especially true in this case, since the subject matter has traditionally dealt mainly with the structure, properties, and technology of the various elastomers used in industry, and these are bound to undergo significant changes over the period of a decade. In revising the contents of this volume, it was thought best to keep the orig inal format. Hence the first five chapters discuss the same general subject matter as before. The chapters dealing with natural rubber and the synthetic elastomers are up-dated, and an entirely new chapter has been added on the thermoplastic elastomers, which have, of course, grown tremendously in importance. Another innovation is the addition of a new chapter, "Miscellaneous Elastomers," to take care of "old" elastomers, e.g., polysulfides, which have decreased some what in importance, as well as to introduce some of the newly-developed syn thetic rubbers which have not yet reached high production levels. The editor wishes to express his sincere appreciation to all the contributors, without whose close cooperation this task would have been impossible. He would especially like to acknowledge the invaluable assistance of Dr. Howard Stephens in the planning of this book, and for his suggestion of suitable authors.

Law, Rhetoric and Irony in the Formation of Canadian Civil Culture

By: Michael Dorland,Maurice René Charland

In Rhetoric, Irony, and Law in the Formation of Canadian Civil Culture, Michael Dorland and Maurice Charland examine how, over the roughly 400-year period since the encounter of First Peoples with Europeans in North America, rhetorical or discursive fields took form in politics and constitution-making, in the formation of a public sphere, and in education and language. The study looks at how these fields changed over time within the French regime, the British regime, and in Canada since 1867, and how they converged through trial and error into a Canadian civil culture. The authors establish a triangulation of fields of discourse formed by law (as a technical discourse system), rhetoric (as a public discourse system), and irony (as a means of accessing the public realm as the key pillars upon which a civil culture in Canada took form) in order to scrutinize the process of creating a civil culture. By presenting case studies ranging from the legal implications of the transition from French to English law to the continued importance of the Louis Riel case and trial, the authors provide detailed analyses of how communication practices form a common institutional culture. As scholars of communication and rhetoric, Dorland and Charland have written a challenging examination of the history of Canadian governance and the central role played by legal and other discourses in the formation of civil culture.

The Isoquinoline Alkaloids Chemistry and Pharmacology

By: Maurice Shamma

The Isoquinoline Alkaloids: Chemistry and Pharmacology presents an overview of the chemistry, biogenesis, spectroscopy, and pharmacology of the isoquinoline alkaloids. This book examines the significant and interesting aspects of alkaloids. Organized into 32 chapters, this book starts with a discussion of the biogenesis of the isoquinolines and the various pharmacological effects of simple tetrahydroisoquinolines that have stimulant and convulsive properties. This text then explores the infrared absorptions, with emphasis on wavelength and frequency. Other chapters include topics on synthesis, degradation, reactions, absolute configuration, as well as on ultraviolet and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. This book further explores the various methods available for the preparation of simple tetrahydroisoquinolines, including the Bischler–Napieralski, Pictet–Spengler, and phenolic cyclization, as well as the Friedel–Crafts acylation. The last chapter deals with ancistrocladine, which is the first isoquinoline alkaloid found to possess a methyl group. Biochemists and biophysicists will find this book useful.

Bitter Freedom: Ireland in a Revolutionary World

By: Maurice Walsh

An Irish Times Best Book of the Year Longlisted for the Bread and Roses Award for Radical Publishing "Sets Ireland's post-1916 history in its global and human context, to brilliant effect." —Neil Hegarty, Irish Times Books of the Year 2015 The Irish Revolution has long been mythologized in American culture but seldom understood. Too often, the story of Irish independence and its grinding aftermath in the early part of the twentieth century has been told only within a parochial Anglo-Irish context. Now, in the critically acclaimed Bitter Freedom, Maurice Walsh, with "a novelist's eye for detailing lives in extremis" (Feargal Keane, Prospect), places revolutionary Ireland within the panorama of nationalist movements born out of World War I. Beginning with the Easter Rising of 1916, Bitter Freedom follows through from the War of Independence to the end of the post-partition civil war in 1924. Walsh renders a history of insurrection, treaty, partition, and civil war in a way that is both compelling and original. Breaking out this history from reductionist, uplifting narratives shrouded in misguided sentiment and romantic falsification, the author provides a gritty, blow-by-blow account of the conflict, from ambushes of soldiers and the swaggering brutality of the Black and Tan militias to city streets raked by sniper fire, police assassinations, and their terrible reprisals; Bitter Freedom provides a kaleidoscopic portrait of the human face of the conflict. Walsh also weaves surprising threads into the story of Irish independence such as jazz, American movies, and psychoanalysis, examining the broader cultural environment of emerging modernity in the early twentieth century, and he shows how Irish nationalism was shaped by a world brimming with revolutionary potential defined by the twin poles of Woodrow Wilson in America and Vladimir Lenin in Russia. In this “invigorating account” (Spectator), Walsh demonstrates how this national revolution, which captured worldwide attention from India to Argentina, was itself profoundly shaped by international events. Bitter Freedom is "the most vivid and dramatic account of this epoch to date" (Literary Review).

The Social History of Skepticism

Experience and Doubt in Early Modern Culture

By: Brendan Maurice Dooley

The result was a powerful current of skepticism with extraordinary consequences. Combined with late-seventeenth-century developments in other areas of thought and writing, it produced skepticism about the possibility of gaining any historical knowledge at all." "Joining the history of ideas to the history of journalism and publishing, Dooley sets out to discover when early modern people believed their political informants and when they did not."--BOOK JACKET.

Moose Jaw

People, Places, History

By: John Larsen,Maurice Richard Libby

In dramatic writing and numerous archival and contemporary photos, this accessible and lively coffee-table book tells the story of the small prairie city with the big, big reputation.Despite its odd name - or maybe even partially because of it - Moose Jaw has had a history that is rich beyond that of most of its sister prairie cities. This new and comprehensive book charts the events that make up both the city's history and its mythology: the infamous River Street red-light district; the time half the police force threw the other half in jail; the coming of the air force training base. And, of course, those mysterious tunnels.Extensive interviews with Moose Jaw people who were witness to many of its historical highlights give the book a conversational immediacy. Numerous photos from past and present, along with reproductions of letters, posters, handbills and interesting documents, present the visual record to complement the text.

The Lone Pine Ranch

By: Maurice Emery

A degree of interest in pioneering the West of any locality in which one lives is enviable. As time passes, more interest is, therefore, attached to it. Hopefully, it will awaken old-timers, and those descended from Pioneer stock. Determination and untiring efforts put forth by Pilgrim Fathers who desired to find a better way of life. This book offers no fiction from a religious or scientific standpoint, nor in poise of a hero, or self praise. It is simple in style and diction. The conclusion brings the closing incidents down to a recent date and finishes in brief the biography of Maurice Graves Emery. Memories and imagination are great contributors to personal values and consideration for humankind. This story is about a long life of more than eighty-six years.

The Imaging of Tropical Diseases

With Epidemiological, Pathological and Clinical Correlation

By: Philip E.S. Palmer,Maurice M. Reeder

This second volume describes a further wide variety of parasitic infections and other diseases,including benign and malignant tumors. Some are widespread, others re- stricted to specific geographical or climatic regions; almost all affect countless patients, some with generalized illnesses, others with limited involvement which may nonetheless be serious for the individual. The book contains numerous images at the important stages of the diseases, with photographs and histopathological sections to help understand the clinical progress, and often the response to treatment. These two volumes will be of great value to all who care for patients with tropical diseases, clinicians as well as radiologists.
