Teaching History in the New Europe (Cassell Council of Europe Series)

History can be a controversial and sensitive subject. There is consensus about its importance, but not about what it is for. Is it simply a search for past societies, to exhibit the objective truth? Or is it a value-laden activity, whose priorities and content are inescapably affected by current social and political issues? Is it concerned with transmitting or examining values? This book examines these questions and puts forward several answers. Drawing on Council of Europe material, the author seeks to define Europe. The book was prompted by a symposium on "The Teaching of History in the New Europe".

Medical Cultures of the Early Modern Spanish Empire (New Hispanisms: Cultural and Literary Studies)

Early modern Spain was a global empire in which a startling variety of medical cultures came into contact, and occasionally conflict, with one another. Spanish soldiers, ambassadors, missionaries, sailors, and emigrants of all sorts carried with them to the farthest reaches of the monarchy their own ideas about sickness and health. These ideas were, in turn, influenced by local cultures. This volume tells the story of encounters among medical cultures in the early modern Spanish empire. The twelve chapters draw upon a wide variety of sources, ranging from drama, poetry, and sermons to broadsheets, travel accounts, chronicles, and Inquisitorial documents; and it surveys a tremendous regional scope, from Mexico, to the Canary Islands, the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, and Germany. Together, these essays propose a new interpretation of the circulation, reception, appropriation, and elaboration of ideas and practices related to sickness and health, sex, monstrosity, and death, in a historical moment marked by continuous cross-pollination among institutions and populations with a decided stake in the functioning and control of the human body. Ultimately, the volume discloses how medical cultures provided demographic, analytical, and even geographic tools that constituted a particular kind of map of knowledge and practice, upon which were plotted: the local utilities of pharmacological discoveries; cures for social unrest or decline; spaces for political and institutional struggle; and evolving understandings of monstrousness and normativity. Medical Cultures of the Early Modern Spanish Empire puts the history of early modern Spanish medicine on a new footing in the English-speaking world.

Featuring paintings and photographs, this beautifully illustrated collection exhibits how artists between the years of 1919 and 1945 recorded the coming of modernity to Australia. At a time when most artists were using rural subjects, these artists turned their attention to the tearing down of city centers and ordinary people at work and leisure, revealing an Australia that is familiar yet far from the iconic outback. From beaches photographed by Max Dupain to the building of the Sydney Harbour Bridge captured by Grace Cossington Smith and Jessie Trail, this unveils a crossing into contemporary times that helped to define Australian art.

What is this book about? 
If you want to use Visio to create enterprise software, this is the book for you. The integration of Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect and Visio for Enterprise Architects provides a formidable tool. Visio offers powerful diagramming capabilities, including such things as creating UML models, mapping out databases with Entity Relationship diagrams, and aiding the development of distributed systems. Its integration with Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect means that C# or Visual Basic .NET code can be generated from the UML diagrams, and Visual Studio .NET projects can be reverse engineered to UML models. For the developer already familiar with UML and looking to get the best out of Visio, the Visual Studio .NET and Visio for Enterprise Architects combination is weakly documented, and the quality information needed to realize the time-saving features of Visio just does not seem to be available, until now. This book presumes that you are already familiar with the basic concepts of UML notation — this book will not teach you UML. Instead, this book will take you forward into the Visio environment, showing you how to make the most of its software related features. What does this book cover? In this book, you'll learn how to <ul>
<li>Diagram business components in Visio</li> <li>Generate code from a UML model</li> <li>Reverse engineer Visual Studio .NET projects into a UML model</li> <li>Reverse engineer into a UML model without source code</li> <li>Document the project with UML and Visio</li> <li>Design distributed applications with Visio's diagrams</li> <li>Work with Entity Relationship database modeling, and round-trip engineering for database design</li> </ul>

This energetic first collection moves freely from the world of professional snooker to drunken adolescent escapades. Slater contemplates the art of moving furniture, the marginalia of monastic scribes and daydreams in a Japanese garden. Depicting care or abandon, the poems reflect on that unique carefree care for language that is poetry itself.
