At the turn of the twentieth century Colorado's coalfields were the site of the nation's most violent labor conflicts. The remote mountains were home to mining companies that provided workers and their families with supervised housing, education, health care, and stores. Resisting corporate control, workers deployed armed bands against their employers, leading to a pitched battle between the groups for control over the workplace. Efforts to defuse the situation, including strategies that had worked in other industries, all failed. In this book, Maria E. Montoya examines two key figures who practiced rival Progressive reforms for resolving these industrial conflicts. John D. Rockefeller Jr. used paternalism and philanthropy to promote the scientific management of his workers' professional and personal lives. Josephine Roche advocated for worker autonomy, collective bargaining, and government-backed labor protections. Both honed their Progressive ideals in New York City and transported t

本書是經典力學領域的經典著作，預備知識要求極低，僅需基礎微積分和本科基礎物理學知識，因此適合本科到研究生入門階段的課程使用，也適合數學、物理和工程專業的學生群體。This is an intuitively motivated presentation ofmany topics in classical mechanics and related areas of control theory and calculus of variations. All topics throughout the book are treated with zero tolerance for unrevealing definitions and for proofs which leave the reader in the dark. Some areas of particular interest are： an extremely short derivation of the ellipticity of planetary orbits; a statement and an explanation of the “tennis racket paradox”; a heuristic explanation (and a rigorous treatment) of the gyroscopic effect; a revealing equivalence between thedynamics of a particle and statics of a spring; a short geometrical explanation of Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle, and more. In the last chapter, aimed at more advanced readers, the Hamiltonian and the momentum are compared to forces in a certain static problem. This gives a palpable physical meaning to some seemingly abstract concepts and theo

As people get older, they become more likely to have hearing difficulties in certain situations; for example, having conversations in public settings where there is naturally more noise. This can sometimes lead to isolation, depression, or even fatigue from the effort needed to communicate with others. Clinicians and researchers often do not use standardized outcome measures for hearing interventions that reflect patients' perceptions of real-life improvements. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a committee of experts to identify a core set of outcomes and corresponding measures that researchers and clinicians should use each time they assess the effectiveness of hearing aids and other treatments in addressing hearing difficulties. The resulting report, Measuring Meaningful Outcomes for Adult Hearing Health Interventions, presents those outcomes and measures, as well as recommendations for promoting their use within the hearing health community.

The classic work that has shaped the field of biomedical ethics, fully updated to include cutting-edge approaches and research. Principles of Biomedical Ethics provides a highly original, insightful, and practical guide to morality in the health professions, health policy, and public health. Acclaimed authors Tom L. Beauchamp and James F. Childress thoroughly develop and advocate for four principles that lie at the core of moral reasoning in health care: respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice. Drawing from contemporary research - and integrating detailed case studies and vivid real-life examples and scenarios - they demonstrate how these prima facie principles can be used to address various conflicts and dilemmas, from how to deliver bad news to the decision to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatments.Ideal for courses in biomedical ethics, bioethics, and health care ethics, the text is enhanced by hundreds of annotated citations, along with key terms and

Archaeological research on islands has made significant contributions to our understanding of human cultural development, with aquatic resources and maritime adaptations being increasingly recognized as having had profound effects on human evolution, worldwide dispersals, and the development of social complexity. Once thought to be marginal habitats for humans--lacking in many of the necessary dietary and raw material requirements for societies to thrive--recent research in island and coastal regions around the world has shown this to be false. In fact, the opposite appears to be true in many cases, where aquatic resources were plentiful, highly nutritious, and relatively easy to harvest. The Oxford Handbook of Island & Coastal Archaeology is the first volume to synthesize major topics in the subfield of island and coastal archaeology on a truly global scale, including methodological and theoretical advances that have positioned the subfield as central to archaeology, history, and hist

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is a relatively new manufacturing technique that has gained significant industrial interest. AM is a key low-carbon manufacturing technology incorporating net-shaping whilst avoiding complex process chains. This manufacturing technique is appealing for a variety of applications, including aerospace, oil, gas, marine, automotive, biomedical, and nuclear, due to advantages such as component design freedom, component complexity, light weighting, toolless nature, part consolidation, and decreased material waste. To overcome the performance limitations and to take advantage of the alloy design opportunities provided by AM technology, a new generation of alloys suitable for AM is needed. In addition to this, optimising process parameters and microstructure evolution during AM can lead to improved mechanical, corrosion, fatigue, irradiation, and wear properties, amongst other benefits. With a view to select the best a

The Iliad (c. 750 BCE) is one of the oldest works of literature in existence and continues to stir the imagination of contemporary readers thanks to its epic depictions of martial prowess, heroism, and tragedy.Aiming to bring the legendary story to a new audience, Samuel Butler eschewed the traditional poetical style in favor of a prose translation more akin to that used in the 18th and 19th centuries without losing any of the beauty of the original. The narrative details the fall of Troy and the many tragedies that befall both sides of the war. Heroes clash in sweeping and brutal battle as the Gods watch on in delight, Kings rise and fall by their honor-bound mandates while their men toil in the mundanity of war, and lovers die desperately trying to turn the tides of fate. The Iliad is a meditation on fate, honor, and heroism, painting a world in which the chaos of humanity's clashing vanities means something greater to not only ourselves, but the Gods above.Since our inception in 202

For more than a century, America's sports stadiums have evolved from modest, private ballparks into billion-dollar play-palaces for the rich-built increasingly on the backs of taxpayers. Government commitments to major-league venues are approaching $50 billion, and a looming wave of new construction threatens to double public outlays by the end of the next decade. Elected leaders justify the massive subsidies by arguing that stadiums are economic catalysts, despite overwhelming evidence that sports venues are unwise public investments. Why does this keep happening? The refrain is always the same: This one will be different. The Atlanta Braves's Truist Park in Cobb County, Georgia is the latest example. Marketed as a game-changing mixed-use development that would create a year-round economic hub, the project has fallen far short of its boosters' lofty projections-just like all the venues that came before it. In This One Will Be Different, sports economist J.C. Bradbury draws from decade

榮獲歌德學院翻譯補助西洋思想史重要著作，現代美學批判的第一本著作席勒對美與人性思辨之經典，德國古典美學承上啟下之作《美育書簡》是西方歷史上第一本以審美教育（美育）為標題，並系統性介紹美育概念的專書，因而成為美育學者的重要思想依據。臺灣著名的教育學與美學學者崔光宙教授曾依據本書，歸納出席勒的「美育」概念為三點：美育是克服人性分裂，培養完美人性的教育；美育是提升精神境界，達到精神自由的教育；美育是培養道德人格，建立社會和諧的手段。據此，席勒所講的「美育」不只是以各種藝術為內容（事實上，席勒在書中並未有任何分殊藝術領域的論述），「美育」實際上更富含全人教育、精神教育和道德教育的理想。《美育書簡》是席勒於一七九三年任耶拿大學歷史教授時，寫了一系列的信給丹麥親王克利斯坦（Friedrich Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Augustenburg，即霍斯坦－奧古斯騰堡公爵），討論有關美學教育的問題，書簡流傳於哥本哈根宮廷之中。一七九四年這些審美教育書信的原稿因火災被焚，幸好有一些傳鈔本存留。席勒基於這些書信的重要性，重新改寫並發表在《時序女神》雜誌（Horen，席勒在一七九五～九七年間主編的藝文雜誌）上。後來又將這發表過的二十七封信編輯成為《美育書簡》。全書重點在於建構席勒個人對於美學及審美教育（即美育）的理論。他認為美學不僅研究美的本質及藝術創造的結構，也不只分析人之美感的發生來源，更是一門能夠真正開啟人之本性的科學。對席勒來說，美是最理想人格性的表徵；真正的美，有助於提升和完善人性。席勒因為置身啟蒙運動之中，因而《美育書簡》主要在反省西方啟蒙運動時代工業革命造成人性疏離，而他認為美育就是解決人性根本問題的良藥。書簡共計二十七封信，內容大致如下：第一部分　文化批判　第一封信：其美學研究出發點及構想將以康德式的原則為基礎。　第二封信：批評當時的時代是腐壞的：在哲學、科學、政治各方面，沒有天才那般的創造力，只有逢迎需求而發展。　第三至四封信：說明人的本性中儘管有感性、知性的對立（不是野人就是蠻人），但也有同時使這兩種對立共同產生運作的可能，而這種能力能產生第三種別於感性與知性的性格（於後續書信中可發現即指美的性格）。　第五至第六封信：批判當代人不是只有感性運作就是只有知性運作，因而產生的時代樣貌與國家體系都不是自由的（只受知性或感性的支配）。此外
