• catalog abstract "Our understanding of the functional mechanisms relating dopamine activity to normal and abnormal has been turned "upside-down" by the recent developments described in agreed that all of the pharmacological and behavioral properties ascribed to dopamine receptors termed D2. The properties of these receptors were first characterized in 1975 following their identification by receptor binding techniques utilizing 3H-butyrophenones, potent antipsychotic drugs, used in the treatment of schizophrenia. Although another subtype of dopamine receptors had already been identified a few years earlier, now termed the D1 receptor, its functional properties were unknown - other than the fact that it was associated with the activation of the enzyme adenylate cyclase. Our absence of knowledge of the behavioral functions of this receptor stemmed primarily from the lack of selective agonist and antagonists for D1 receptors - drugs which did not also interact with D2 receptors. Selective agents for D2 receptors did exist and hence the behavioral roles of D2 receptors were easily ascribed. The work described in this text is primarily stimulated by the development of two selective D1 receptor drug - the antagonist SCH 23390 and the agonist SKF 38393. The studies described herein clearly show that D1 receptors do indeed have many behavioral functions, on the surface often similar to those responses mediated by D2 receptors. These observations hold hope for the development of new dopaminergic agents for use in the treatment of psychiatric and neurologic diseases that may by more selective in their actions and lack some of the side effects of the presently used mixed of D2 receptor selective agents. These studies are the beginning of an active period of new research strategies that will provide a greater understanding of the role of dopamine systems in behavior.".

A glossary supplies working definitions of key terms in Aristotle's philosophical-political vocabulary as well as a guide to linguistic relationships that are not always reflected in equivalent English terms.

Lord also outlines Aristotle's conception of political science, tracing its relation to theoretical science on the one hand and to ethics on the other. In conclusion, he briefly traces the subsequent history and influence of the Politics up to modern times."--Publisher's description.".

• catalog abstract "In this highly original work, Robert Nozick develops new views on philosophy's central topics and weaves them into a unified philosophical perspective. It is many years since a major work in English has ranged so widely over philosophy's fundamental concerns: the identity of the self, knowledge and skepticism, free will, the question of why there is something rather than nothing, the foundations of ethics, the meaning of life. Writing in a distinctive and personal philosophical voice, Mr. Nozick presents a new mode of philosophizing. In place of the usual semi-coercive philosophical goals of proof, of forcing people to accept conclusions, this book seeks philosophical explanations and understanding, and thereby stays truer to the original motivations for being interested in philosophy. -- Description from http://www.amazon.com (April 11, 2012).".

There followed a discussion of the problems arising from the formation of a new order that was to be a worthy substitute for the repudiated colonial order.".
• catalog abstract "Depuis une décennie la France vit à l'heure de l'histoire des sciences du langage ; et la linguistique elle-même, si l'on observe aujourd'hui les rapports de production s'établissant entre ses différents domaines, se voit progressivement investie par cette discipline métadiscursive, puisque cette dernière talonne de très près les travaux l'ordre syntaxique et devance largement les études phonologiques, morphologiques ou lexico-sémantiques. Ce n'est là, après tout, qu'une manifestation supplémentaire de la réintroduction de l'Histoire dans les sciences humaines ; mais cet avatar possède cependant une caractéristique distinctive de taule, qui est - au détriment de la linguistique en tant que procédure analytique des structures des langues - la part de plus en plus prépondérante prise dans ces recherches par les philosophes du langage et les épistémologues, ainsi que - dans une moindre mesure - par les historiens de la société. L'ouvrage de Simone Delesalle et J.-Cl. Chevalier montre parfaitement comment deux "spécialistes de grammaire française" (p. 23), incités par leur curiosité scientifique et poussés par les forces de l'institution scolaire et universitaire, en sont venus à camper sur les marches de leur domaine en négligeant - peut-être - ce qui pouvait être utile à leur discipline au profit illusoire de questionnements répétitifs et périphilosophiques, dont le renouvellement et l'approfondissement exigeraient d'autres moyens.".

• catalog abstract "Smith's Lectures on Jurisprudence, originally delivered at the University of Glasgow in 1762-1763, present his "theory of the rules by which civil government ought to be directed." The chief purpose of government, according to Smith, is to preserve justice; and "the object of justice is security from injury." The state must protect the individual's right to his person, property, reputation, and social relations. Building on his Theory of Moral Sentiments, Smith argues that the state must act as an impartial spectator, judging when an individual has been injured. The state must then design and apply civil and criminal laws to prevent further injuries and punish transgressors. Laws are also the means by which the state promotes public prosperity. Thus, regulations concerning trade, commerce, and production must be crafted so as to encourage rather than interfere with our productive capacities.".

• catalog abstract "Chicago's packinghouse workers were not the hopeless creatures depicted by Upton Sinclair in "The Jungle", but active agents in the early twentieth century transformation that swept urban industrial America. In his case study of Chicago's Union Stockyards, Barrett focuses on the workers - older skilled immigrants, new immigrant common laborers, migrant blacks, and young women workers - and the surrounding neighborhoods. The lives and communities of these workers accurately convey the experience of mass-production work, the quality of working-class life, the process of class formation and fragmentation, and the changing character of class relations. Because Packingtown's struggle for existence was linked directly to the character of work and employment in the industry, unionization played an important role in the lives of these workers. Although unionization was associated with both improving the quality of life and creating a viable community, workers were divided by race, ethnic identity, and skill. "Work and Community in the Jungle" discusses a wide range of social, economic, and cultural factors that resulted in class cohesion and fragmentation. Addressing the broader problem of relations between capital and labor, Barrett demonstrates the effects of government intervention on labor organization, negotiation, and conflict. Shop-floor workers banded together to develop new strategies and forms of organization in their struggle with management for control. Barrett employs contemporary social surveys and a computer-assisted analysis of census data to illustrate the physical and social characteristics of the workers' environment. He analyzes this data in the context of the relationships between community, ethnicity, family, work experience, and industrial characteristics.".

• catalog abstract ""Launched in the depths of the Depression, Black Mountain College had fewer than 1300 pupils over its 24-year lifespan. Yet this haven of experimentation in the North Carolina hills counted among its students and faculty Franz Kline, Walter Gropius, Josef Albers, Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Robert De Niro, Buckminster Fuller, Merce Cunningham and Willem de Kooning, among others. Based on some 300 interviews as well as primary sources, this revealing study by an art historian traces the school's evolution from a small, innovative liberal arts college with a general curriculum to a creative community of practicing artists. Despite bitter internal conflicts and a certain insularity, Black Mountain risked constant financial worries to maintain a democratic openness and willingness to ``let things happen.'' This attractively illustrated chronicle documents the gamut of creativity, from painting to weaving, ceramics, dance, graphic arts and photography."--Alibris.".

• catalog abstract "Typified by a house such as Compton Wynyates, low-lying brick-built and attractively unsymmetrical, the early Tudor country house has often been described as displaying an indefinable quality of Englishness. But the builder of Compton Wynyates would be surprised to see his house today, without the moat and the rambling and fragile outbuildings of timber that originally surrounded it. The popular view of the early Tudor country house is shaped by the accidents of survival and therefore by a false idea of what these buildings were really like. Howard's wide-ranging account shows these hosues as they were built, how they were lived in and what they demonstrate about the society of the time. Primarily products of the great and wealthy, they are an interesting key to the workings of the power structure and the influence of the Court. At the start of the period, the higher ranks of the clergy were setting the pace for new building projects, as epitomized by the activities of Thomas Wolsey. This initative was taken up by the Crown and by leading courtiers, several of whom owed their property to the King's favour. -- Book jacket.".

• catalog abstract "In 1937, Robert Starer was enrolled in the State Academy of Music in Vienna, at thirteen one of the youngest students ever admitted. In 1938, after the German invasion of Austria, the child prodigy was expelled because he was a Jew. A few weeks later his parents wisely sent him to Palestine, where he survived for the next nine years by his musical wits, taking odd jobs accompanying singers, transcribing music, giving piano lessons and learning how to play the harp simply because the Jerusalem Symphony lacked a harpist. During the war Mr. Starer served in the British army, and in 1948 he emigrated to the United States, where he became a teacher at Juilliard and later at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Today he is a well-known composer whose work has been performed and recorded by symphony orchestras throughout the world. He has also written for the Broadway musical theater, television and films, and has composed works for several dance companies. Continuo is divided into twelve chapters, each focusing on a particular period of the author's life or on a performer or musician with whom he has worked--among others, Martha Graham, William Steinberg, Herbert Ross and Itzhak Perlman. Astonishingly, Mr. Starer turns out to be as elegant a writer as he is a composer: clear, spare and vivid in his portrayal of characters and description of events. As a result, this memoir is a joy to read, whether the subject is music, personalities, triumphs and failures, audiences or memories of childhood [Publisher description].".

• catalog abstract ""This is a study of two contrasting towns in Anatolia in the seventeenth century. As house ownership was widespread, data concerning value, description, location and ownership of dwellings constitute a valid manner of approaching urban society as a whole. Through her use of documents from the kadi registers of Ankara and Kayseri, Dr Faroqui follows changes in patterns of house ownership over approximately a century. The urban society thus revealed differs from the patterns generally associated with the 'Islamic city' model. Townsmen often bought real estate without selecting a quarter inhabited by their co-religionists, which throws light on the Muslim majority's attitude to the Christian minority. However examples of wealthy and poor quarters were not known. The kadi registers also indicate that despite passing through a period of crisis early in the century, both cultures managed a fairly rapid recovery from this." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam023/86013618.html.".

Ces axes croisent sans cesse, et c'est là l'essentiel, la fonction dominante de ces activités le grand axe de la foi, de la religion et de l'éthique, le sacré et le divin faisant constamment irruption dans la vie quotidienne. Le divin s'exprime dans toutes les formes de la vie, se mêle au réel de l'existence. Chacun des gestes que l'homme accomplit en reçoit une parcelle. Le spirituel et le charnel ont, entre eux, de secrètes et mystérieuses complicités, contractent une alliance qu'attestent de multiples faits quotidiens. Le Zohar est, à cet égard, un discours vivant, une légende et une mémoire, le miroir où l'âme se regarde. Si l'étude et la production des écrits théosophiques, si les expériences extatiques sont certes l'apanage de cercles restreints d'initiés, la kabbale connaît en certains des ses aspects, de ses manifestations qui nourrissent l'imaginaire et confinent à la magie, un vaste audience, un immense prestige et une grande fascination populaire.
