It has been known or suspected for centuries that there is an association between mind and emotions and the occurrence of heart disease apd sudden death. During the past fifty years this relationship has become identified with the concept of Stress, a notion developed and popularized by Hans Selye. In recent years there has been an upward surge of interest in stress by scientists in several disciplines and by the general public. Although, books, journal articles, seminars and media programs devoted to stress now abound, the definition, manifestations, mechanisms, and management of stress remain uncertain and controversial. In an attempt to clarify the situation an International Symposium on ...
Monarchy is an enduring institution that still makes headlines today. It has always been preoccupied with image and perception, never more so than in the period covered by this volume. The collection of papers gathered here from international scholars demonstrates that monarchical image and perception went far beyond cultural, symbolic and courtly display – although these remain important – and were, in fact, always deeply concerned with the practical expression of authority, politics and power. This collection is unique in that it covers the subject from two innovative angles: it not only addresses both kings and queens together, but also both the medieval and early modern periods. Cons...
The demand for organosilicon elastomers used in the production of thermally resistant rubbers and organosilicon polymers for making non-metal composite materials is increasing from year to year.This monograph presents a discussion on the methods used for synthesizing and studying properties of newly designed organosilicon polymers, namely organosil
News Networks in Early Modern Europe attempts to redraw the history of European news communication in the 16th and 17th centuries. News is defined partly by movement and circulation, yet histories of news have been written overwhelmingly within national contexts. This volume of essays explores the notion that early modern European news, in all its manifestations – manuscript, print, and oral – is fundamentally transnational. These 37 essays investigate the language, infrastructure, and circulation of news across Europe. They range from the 15th to the 18th centuries, and from the Ottoman Empire to the Americas, focussing on the mechanisms of transmission, the organisation of networks, the spread of forms and modes of news communication, and the effects of their translation into new locales and languages.
El Museo de Historia Natural Colegio de San José, surgió como un importante referente científico y académico en los niveles local y nacional, durante la primera década del siglo XX. Logró gran reconocimiento internacional gracias a la labor que desempeñaron los hermanos que fungieron como sus directores durante los 95 años de su funcionamiento. Durante esos años, el Museo de Historia Natural Colegio de San José atravesó por cuatro etapas claramente diferenciadas, que posibilitaron la recolección de especímenes de toda índole, la realización de excursiones, el intercambio de material científico y bibliográfico con científicos nacionales y extranjeros, y la creación de sociedades científicas que se constituyeron en entes de circulación y apropiación de las ciencias naturales en Colombia.
