Over the past three decades, the United States has embraced the death penalty with tenacious enthusiasm. While most of those countries whose legal systems and cultures are normally compared to the United States have abolished capital punishment, the United States continues to employ this ultimate tool of punishment. The death penalty has achieved an unparalleled prominence in our public life and left an indelible imprint on our politics and culture. It has also provoked intense scholarly debate, much of it devoted to explaining the roots of American exceptionalism.America’s Death Penalty takes a different approach to the issue by examining the historical and theoretical assumptions that have underpinned the discussion of capital punishment in the United States today. At various times the death penalty has been portrayed as an anachronism, an inheritance, or an innovation, with little reflection on the consequences that flow from the choice of words. This volume represents an effort to restore the sense of capital punishment as a question caught up in history. Edited by leading scholars of crime and justice, these original essays pursue different strategies for unsettling the usual terms of the debate. In particular, the authors use comparative and historical investigations of both Europe and America in order to cast fresh light on familiar questions about the meaning of capital punishment. This volume is essential reading for understanding the death penalty in America.Contributors: David Garland, Douglas Hay, Randall McGowen, Michael Meranze, Rebecca McLennan, and Jonathan Simon.

De oscilloscoop is het meest veelzijdige en algemeen toegepaste elektronische meetinstrument. Men kan dit toestel op alle denkbare plaatsen aantreffen: in scholen en universiteiten, researchlabs, productiehallen van bedrijven, ziekenhuizen, onderhoudsdiensten, werkplaatsen, garages, kortom overal waar elektrische signalen om wat voor reden dan ook gevisualiseerd moeten worden. De oscilloscoop is veruit het belangrijkst stuk 'gereedschap' voor iedereen die van ver of nabij met praktische elektronica te maken heeft: van ontwerp en prototype tot afregeling en herstelling. 
Dit boek behandelt uitgebreid en diepgaand de oscilloscoop, zowel de analoge als de digitale. Aan de hand van talrijke figuren en foto's wordt het hoe en waarom van opbouw, werking en gebruik uit de doeken gedaan, met waar nodig de passende aandacht voor een historische noot. 
Het boek is didactisch opgevat en overzichtelijk gestructureerd. Zware wiskunde is er bewust uitgelaten. Enkel waar het echt nuttig is, zijn eenvoudig af te leiden formules opgenomen. Alle aspecten van de oscilloscoop worden helder uiteengezet, in voor iedereen begrijpelijke bewoordingen en zonder nodeloos jargon. Het is een compleet en up-to-date werk. 
Dit boek kan dienen als leerboek voor studenten en amateurs en als naslagwerk voor de vakman en de geïnteresseerde leek.

Forced to contend with unprecedented levels of psychological trauma during World War II, the United States military began sponsoring a series of nontheatrical films designed to educate and even rehabilitate soldiers and civilians alike. Traumatic Imprints traces the development of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic approaches to wartime trauma by the United States military, along with links to formal and narrative developments in military and civilian filmmaking. Offering close readings of a series of films alongside analysis of period scholarship in psychiatry and bolstered by research in trauma theory and documentary studies, Noah Tsika argues that trauma was foundational in postwar American culture. Examining wartime and postwar debates about the use of cinema as a vehicle for studying, publicizing, and even what has been termed "working through" war trauma, this book is an original contribution to scholarship on the military-industrial complex.
