"Created in 1936, the Lake Mead National Recreation Area was the United States' first national recreation area. As such, it has played a significant role in defining Americans' expectations regarding outdoor recreation, establishing the role of government in managing recreational activities, and illuminating the monumental challenges faced by the National Park Service in managing reservoir-based recreation in an arid region."--Provided by publisher.

"Born in the first year of the 20th century, it is fitting that Margaret Mead should have been one of the first anthropologists to use anthropological analysis to study the future course of human civilization. This volume collects, for the first time, twenty five of her most prescient writings on the future of humanity and how humans can shape that future through purposeful action. For Mead, the study of the future grew naturally out of her lifelong interest in processes of change."--Jacket.

In 1928 Margaret Mead published Coming of Age in Samoa, a fascinating study of the lives of adolescent girls that transformed Mead herself into an academic celebrity. In 1983 anthropologist Derek Freeman published a scathing critique of Mead's Samoan research, badly damaging her reputation. Resonating beyond academic circles, his case against Mead tapped into important public concerns of the 1980s, including sexual permissiveness, cultural relativism, and the nature/nurture debate. In venues from the New York Times to the TV show Donahue, Freeman argued that Mead had been "hoaxed" by Samoans whose innocent lies she took at face value. In The Trashing of Margaret Mead, Paul Shankman explores the many dimensions of the Mead-Freeman controversy as it developed publicly and as it played out privately, including the personal relationships, professional rivalries, and larger-than-life personalities that drove it. Providing a critical perspective on Freeman's arguments, Shankman reviews key questions about Samoan sexuality, the alleged hoaxing of Mead, and the meaning of the controversy. Why were Freeman's arguments so readily accepted by pundits outside the field of anthropology? What did Samoans themselves think? Can Mead's reputation be salvaged from the quicksand of controversy? Written in an engaging, clear style and based on a careful review of the evidence, The Trashing of Margaret Mead illuminates questions of enduring significance to the academy and beyond.

During the rise of New York from the capital of an upstart nation to a global metropolis, the visual language of Greek and Roman antiquity played a formative role in the development of the city's art and architecture. This compilation of essays offers a survey of diverse reinterpretations of classical forms in some of New York's most iconic buildings, public monuments, and civic spaces. Classical New York examines the influence of Greco-Roman thought and design from the Greek Revival of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries through the late-nineteenth-century American Renaissance and Beaux Arts period and into the twentieth century's Art Deco. At every juncture, New Yorkers looked to the classical past for knowledge and inspiration in seeking out new ways to cultivate a civic identity, to design their buildings and monuments, and to structure their public and private spaces. Specialists from a range of disciplines--archaeology, architectural history, art history, classics, and history--focus on how classical art and architecture are repurposed to help shape many of New York City's most evocative buildings and works of art. Federal Hall evoked the Parthenon as an architectural and democratic model; the Pantheon served as a model for the creation of Libraries at New York University and Columbia University; Pennsylvania Station derived its form from the Baths of Caracalla; and Atlas and Prometheus of Rockefeller Center recast ancient myths in a new light during the Great Depression. Designed to add breadth and depth to the exchange of ideas about the place and meaning of ancient Greece and Rome in our experience of New York City today, this examination of post-Revolutionary art, politics, and philosophy enriches the conversation about how we shape space--be it civic, religious, academic, theatrical, or domestic--and how we make use of that space and the objects in it.

Marx, Durkheim en Weber: grondleggers van de sociologie Hoe Marx verstaan? Wat is het nut van klassieke sociologische teksten? Hoe verhouden sociale realiteit en verbeelding zich tot elkaar? Ideeën zijn het gedurfdst op het moment van hun ontstaan. Dat is ook zo voor ideeën ontsproten aan de sociologische verbeelding. Nooit liet het sociologisch denken zo'n ideeënrijkdom zien als bij haar grondleggers: Comte, Marx, Durkheim, Weber en Mead. Stuk voor stuk ambitieuze, gevaarlijke denkers, waarvan de ideeën tot op vandaag ons beeld van de maatschappij bepalen. Klassieke sociologen en hun erfenis schetst hun ideeën en het klassieke sociologisch denken. Niet, zoals al te vaak gedaan wordt, als een verzameling van versteende denkbeelden. Het boek volgt de sociologen op het moment dat ze hun meest gedurfde denkstappen zetten en nodigt je uit om mee te denken en zelf verder te gaan. Klassieke sociologen en hun erfenis laat zien hoe invloedrijk deze denkers zijn en hoe belangrijk ze tot op vandaag blijven. Vaak juist wanneer we dat het minst beseffen. (Informatie van de uitgever)

Yeasts are truly fascinating microorganisms. Due to their diverse and dynamic activities, they have been used for the production of many interesting products, such as beer, wine, bread, biofuels, and biopharmaceuticals. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (brewers’ or bakers’ yeast) is the yeast species that is surely the most exploited by humans. Saccharomyces is a top-choice organism for industrial applications, although its use for producing beer dates back to at least the 6th millennium BC. Bakers’ yeast has been a cornerstone of modern biotechnology, enabling the development of efficient production processes. Today, diverse yeast species are explored for industrial applications. This Special Issue “Yeast Biotechnology 2.0” is a continuation of the first Special Issue, “Yeast Biotechnology” (https://www.mdpi.com/books/pdfview/book/324). It compiles the current state-of-the-art of research and technology in the area of “yeast biotechnology” and highlights prominent current research directions in the fields of yeast synthetic biology and strain engineering, new developments in efficient biomolecule production, fermented beverages (beer, wine, and honey fermentation), and yeast nanobiotechnology.]
