The North American Cordillera is home to a greater diversity of volcanic provinces than any comparably sized region in the world, owing to the interplay among changing plate-margin interactions, tectonic complexity, intracrustal magma differentiation, and mantle melting. Published in individual parts (Chapter B-Chapter Q), the field trips in the guide book collection links to detailed guides to areas such as Mount St. Helens and Mount Hood, featuring history, maps, photos, local information, and a road log.

REMEX presents the first comprehensive examination of artistic responses and contributions to an era defined by the North American Free Trade Agreement (1994-2008). Marshaling over a decade's worth of archival research, interviews, and participant observation in Mexico City and the Mexican-US borderlands, Amy Sara Carroll considers individual and collective art practices, recasting NAFTA as the most fantastical inter-American allegory of the turn of the millennium. Carroll organizes her interpretations of performance, installation, documentary film, built environment, and body, conceptual, and Internet art around three key coordinates--City, Woman, and Border. She links the rise of 1990s Mexico City art on a global market to the period's consolidation of Mexico-US border art on a global market to the period's consolidation of Mexico-US border art as a genre. She then interrupts this transnational art history with a sustained analysis of chilanga and Chicana artists' remapping of the figure of Mexico as Woman. A tour de force that depicts a feedback loop of art and public policy--what Carroll terms the "allegorical performative"--REMEX adds context to the long-term effects of the post-1968 intersection of DF performance and conceptualism, centralizes women artists' embodied critiques of national and global master narratives, and tracks post-1984 border art's "undocumentation" of racialized and sexualized reconfigurations of North American labor pools. The book's featured artwork becomes the lens through which Carroll rereads a range of events and phenomena from California's Proposition 187 to Zapatismo, US immigration policy, 9/11 (1973/2001), femicide in Cuidad Juárez, and Mexico's war on drugs--back cover

This book aims to both describe and analyze the way Steinbeck learned the writing craft. It begins with his immersion in the short story, some years after he stopped attending Stanford University. Aside from a weak first novel, his professional writing career began with the publication in 1932 of The Pastures of Heaven, stories set in the Salinas Valley and dedicated to his parents. From that book he wrote truly commanding stories such as The Red Pony. Intermixed with Steinbeck's journalism about California's labor difficulties, his writing skill led to his 1930 masterpieces, Of Mice and Men, In Dubious Battle, and The Grapes of Wrath. The latter novel, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1940, led eventually to his being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962. He continued producing such wide-ranging works as The Pearl, East of Eden, The Winter of OurDiscontent, and Travels with Charley up to just a few months before his death in 1968. .

This study contends that American writer Cormac McCarthy not only is philosophical, or a "writer of ideas," but rather that he has a philosophy. Devoting one main chapter to each facet of McCarthy's thought - his metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics, respectively - the study engages in focused readings of all of McCarthy's major works. Along the way, the study brings McCarthy's ideas into conversation with a host of philosophers who range from Plato to Alain Badiou, with figures such as William James, Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, and Slavoj Žižek featured prominently. Situated at the crossroads of literary studies, literary theory, cultural studies, continental philosophy, and theology, the appeal of Cormac McCarthy's Philosophy is widespread and deeply interdisciplinary. .

Deze editie 2015-2017 is uitvoerig geactualiseerd en herzien, waarbij ook de woordkeuze meer eenduidig is gemaakt. Dat laatste is het gevolg van het feit, dat het Diagnostic Development Committee veel aandacht heeft besteed aan de praktische toepasbaarheid van de diagnostische labels, definities, bepalende kenmerken, samenhangende factoren en risicofactoren. Alle 235 diagnoses hebben een definitie en eigen bepalende kenmerken en samenhangende factoren, dan wel risicofactoren. Alle diagnoses die nieuw of herzien zijn, zijn gebaseerd op de meest recente wetenschappelijke kennis, en goedgekeurd door experts in de verpleegwetenschap, diagnostiek en opleidingen.
