Steering the Senate: The Emergence of Party Organization and Leadership, 1789–2024
by Steven S. Smith Gerald GammThe Senate majority and minority leaders stand at the pinnacle of American national government – as important to Congress as the speaker of the House. However, the invention of Senate floor leadership has, until now, been entirely unknown. Providing a sweeping account of the emergence of party organization and leadership in the US Senate, Steering the Senate is the first-ever study to examine the development of the Senate's main governing institutions. It argues that three forces – party competition, intraparty factionalism, and entrepreneurship – have driven innovation in the Senate. The book details how the position of floor leader was invented in 1890 and then strengthened through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Drawing on the full history of the Senate, this book immediately becomes the authoritative source for understanding the institutional development of the Senate – uncovering the origins of the Senate party caucuses, steering committees, and floor leadership.
Quantum Mechanics: Lectures on Theoretical Physics
by David TongThe universe we live in is both strange and interesting. This strangeness comes about because, at the most fundamental level, the universe is governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. This is the most spectacularly accurate and powerful theory ever devised, one that has given us insights into many aspects of the world, from the structure of matter to the meaning of information. This textbook provides a comprehensive account of all things quantum. It starts by introducing the wavefunction and its interpretation as an ephemeral wave of complex probability, before delving into the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics and exploring its diverse applications, from atomic physics and scattering, to quantum computing. Designed to be accessible, this volume is suitable for both students and researchers, beginning with the basics before progressing to more advanced topics.
The Cambridge Companion to The Rite of Spring (Cambridge Companions to Music)

The book embraces The Rite of Spring as a spectrum of creative possibility that has impacted the arts, politics, gender, race and national identity, and even popular culture, from the 1910s to the present day. It distils an enormous body of literature, sharing insights from the very latest research while inviting readers to rethink standard scholarly narratives, and brings together contributions from specialists across multiple disciplines: music history, theory and analysis, dance and theatre studies, art history, Russian history, and European modernism.
Economics for a Sustainable World: An Introduction to Natural Resource and Environmental Economics
by Edward B. Barbier Joanne C. BurgessWritten for undergraduate students with little or no exposure to economics, this introductory textbook offers a new perspective on environmental economics for the 21st century. It explains how economics for a sustainable world requires a new approach: accepting that the economy is intrinsically dependent on nature. Drawing on up-to-date case studies from around the globe, the book examines how economic concepts and techniques can apply to a wide range of environmental challenges while ensuring that poor and vulnerable members of society are included in progress toward sustainable development. The book also addresses current environmental policy options and innovations at the local, regional, and international levels. Chapters cover key topics such as climate change, pollution, energy, minerals, forests, land use, oceans, biodiversity, and water scarcity. Included in the book are the following pedagogical features: learning objectives, boxed examples, discussion questions, lists of further resources, and a glossary.
Law and Inhumanity: Dehumanization, Silent Claims and Atrocity Crimes (Law in Context)
by Luigi CorriasIn Law and Inhumanity, Luigi Corrias explores fundamental philosophical issues underlying the law and politics of atrocity crimes within international criminal justice. Focusing on understanding the experiences of victims and perpetrators, Corrias draws on numerous disciplines to construct his conceptual framework while also using several case studies to examine important issues including references to 'humanity' in the discourse on atrocity crimes; the need for a first-person plural perspective of a 'We' within international criminal justice; the experiences of dehumanization of both victims and perpetrators; the temporalities of suffering and justice; and the tension between individual criminal responsibility and structural violence.
Negotiating Arab-Israeli Peace: Patterns, Problems, Possibilities
by Neil Caplan Laura Zittrain EisenbergFifteen years since the publication of its second edition, this foundational text in the history of Arab-Israeli peacemaking endeavors has been updated to include developments from the past twenty-five years.Thoroughly revised and expanded, the third edition of Negotiating Arab-Israeli Peace examines the history of recurrent efforts to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict since the 1970s and identifies a pattern of negative negotiating behaviors that repeatedly derail peacemaking efforts. In addition to updating all of the book's existing chapters with post-2010 sources and developments, authors Eisenberg and Caplan have added new chapters on the Arab Peace Initiative, the Annapolis Conference, the Kerry mission, and the Abraham Accords, as well as a conclusion that questions several core notions regarding the nature of the conflict, the possibility of its resolution, Arab-Israeli "normalization," and the viability of the two-state solution. An epilogue extends the book's framework into present-day crises in the region, specifically Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack on Israel and Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza. A companion website comprises nine appendices, among them 145 primary source documents, expanded notes, links to websites for maps, data and analysis, peace activities, and additional visual and documentary sources. Also online is a robust instructor's guide offering supplementary resources and ideas for assignments, research and classroom exercises, all of which draw upon and complement the themes running throughout the text. By measuring contemporary diplomatic episodes against the historical pattern of counterproductive negotiating habits, Negotiating Arab-Israeli Peace makes possible a coherent comparison of some eighty years of Arab-Israeli negotiations and offers readers a framework with which to assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of peace-making attempts—past, present, and future.
Hayek's Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the Capitalism of the Far Right
by Quinn SlobodianHow neoliberals turned to nature to defend inequality after the end of the Cold WarNeoliberals should have seen the end of the Cold War as a total victory—but they didn&’t. Instead, they saw the chameleon of communism changing colors from red to green. The poison of civil rights, feminism, and environmentalism ran through the veins of the body politic and they needed an antidote.To defy demands for equality, many neoliberals turned to nature. Race, intelligence, territory, and precious metal would be bulwarks against progressive politics. Reading and misreading the writings of their sages, Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises, they articulated a philosophy of three hards—hardwired human nature, hard borders, and hard money—and forged the alliances with racial psychologists, neoconfederates, ethnonationalists, and goldbugs that would become known as the alt-right.Following Hayek&’s bastards from Murray Rothbard to Charles Murray to Javier Milei, we find that key strains of the Far Right emerged within the neoliberal intellectual movement not against it. What has been reported as an ideological backlash against neoliberal globalization in recent years is often more of a frontlash. This history of ideas shows us that the reported clash of opposites is more like a family feud.

Monocytes and Macrophages in Development, Regeneration, and Disease (Results and Problems in Cell Differentiation #74)
by Jacek Z. Kubiak Malgorzata Kloc Marta HalasaThe study and therapeutic application of macrophages is a rapidly developing field. Tremendous progress has been made in understanding the phenotypes and functions of macrophages in healthy and diseased tissues and organs. Following the great success of Volume 62: "Macrophages - Origin, Functions and Biointervention" published in this series, this new book now focuses on the role of monocytes and macrophages in development, regeneration and disease. This new volume offers an overview of the latest developments in monocyte and macrophage subtypes and functions across various tissues including adipose tissue, bones, liver, lungs, testes, and the nervous system. The book also reviews existing and potential therapies targeted towards the macrophages and describes their homeostatic functions. It explores how macrophage cell cycle, metabolism, mitochondrial activity, histone acetylation status, and interaction with the extracellular matrix contribute to changes in macrophage phenotype and function in health and disease. Additionally, it examines the interactions between macrophages and cancer cells, bacteria, helminth parasites, and their role in the colonization and spread of HIV. For ease of reference, the volume is divided into three sections: Part I Nonimmunologic and immunologic functions of monocytes/macrophages Part II Tissue/organ specific functions of macrophages Part III Macrophage functions and dysfunction in diseases This book will be of interest to researchers working in the fields of developmental biology, immunology, cancer research, and therapeutic applications. It is written to inform and inspire experts and newcomers to the field of macrophages.
Dramatic Intellectuals (Cultural Sociology)
by Javier Pérez-Jara Nicolás RudasThis edited volume advances meaning-centered approaches to understanding the social construction of public intellectuals and their enduring influence on contemporary societies. The contributors reject reductionist perspectives that depict intellectuals and their ideas as mere byproducts of broader social forces. Instead, the volume champions a multidimensional approach that recognizes the semi-autonomy and causal power of intellectual discourses. At the core of this framework is the concept of dramatic intellectuals—figures who navigate collective anxieties and hopes, shaping public discourse through master narratives of salvation and catastrophe, utopia and apocalypse. Through diverse case studies, the volume identifies key features of their master stories, including stark binaries, the social construction of meta-adversaries and meta-saviors, the mobilization of cultural traumas and ideological packs, and the Cassandra complex. Each chapter examines at least one pivotal dramatic intellectual within her cultural context, exploring how these figures shape public discourse and collective imagination. The volume covers a diverse range of intellectuals, including Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Frantz Fanon, Jean-Paul Sartre, Bertrand Russell, Noam Chomsky, Arne Naess, Ingemar Hedenius, Ayn Rand, Otis Eugene &“Gene&” Ray, Pedro Almodóvar, Agustín Laje, Slavoj Žižek, Jordan Peterson, and Giorgio Agamben. Beyond detailed case studies, the book lays the groundwork for new research agendas in the sociology of intellectuals. This book will be essential reading for scholars of cultural sociology.

Digital Economy: Interdisziplinäre Einblicke und Praxisstrategien für Marketing, Sales und Management
by Ursula Haas-KotzeggerDieses Buch erläutert alle Aspekte der Transformation hin zu einer Digital Economy und analysiert die Auswirkungen auf Marketing, Sales und Management.Der interdisziplinäre Begriff der Digital Economy adressiert zunächst den Megatrend der Digitalisierung, der wiederum als fundamentaler sozioökonomischer Wandel definiert werden kann, welcher durch die Verbreitung digitaler Technologien ausgelöst wird. Speziell aus betriebswirtschaftlicher Sicht bringt die Transformation zur Digital Economy eine Reihe von Herausforderungen mit sich:• Der digitale Einfluss ermöglicht Konsument*innen neue Wege der Kommunikation und somit mehr Einfluss auf Unternehmenserfolg.• Die Interaktion mit Kund*innen auf allen Kanälen und an allen Touchpoints ist für Marken essenziell, um relevant zu bleiben.• Soziale Medien haben Konsument*innen mehr Gehör verschafft. Soziale Medien werden genutzt, um sich permanent auszutauschen, zu informieren und Angebote zuvergleichen –aber auch, um die eigene Meinung zu Unternehmen und Marken öffentlich kundzutun.• Produktinnovationszyklen verändern sich und nehmen neue Formen an.• Vertriebskanalstrukturen sind durch den Erfolg digitaler Plattformen und ihrer zugrundeliegenden Dynamiken im Wandel.• Markt- und Wettbewerbsgrenzen verschwimmen zunehmend.• Bisherige Voraussetzungen für Unternehmenserfolg verlieren zuweilen ihre Gültigkeit.Neben diesen Veränderungen bringt diese neue (Wirtschafts-)Welt der Digital Economy aber vor allem neue Chancen, um Mehrwert für Kund*innen, Unternehmen, Mitarbeiter*innen sowie die Gesellschaft anders, besser und neu zu schaffen. Bei den Beiträgen dieses Werkes handelt es sich sowohl um konzeptionelle als auch um empirisch ausgerichtete Arbeiten, untermauert durch einzelne Case Studys.

by Mandy Morris"This powerful healing work is something that&’s missing in the world of mental and physical health today and is a light for others to find themselves and create new references and meaningful experiences that can be channeled to overcome any obstacle and succeed beyond their wildest dreams." — Anthony William, The Medical Medium, # 1 New York Times best-selling authorManifestation requires staying in alignment with your best intentions and highest good; and many of the secrets to manifesting a beautiful life revolve around managing the defeating thoughts, feelings, and actions that throw you out of alignment.Noted manifestation expert Mandy Morris shares the eight powerful manifestation techniques she has developed based on divine guidance, scientific research, and a decade of work. They are fast, effective, and proven. These tools of the most highly effective manifesters include: Infusing the manifestation process with self-love to help you work through your past, set positive intentions, and create a high vibration for manifestation goals to come trueDetangling dense energy (which impacts the neurological pathways) by understanding why what we want doesn&’t show up, so we can set a clear path of creation (think of an unpaved road with potholes versus a smooth drive to your destination)Creating ways to energetically check in with yourselfManaging your psychological triggers with &“pattern interrupts&”Examining the rules you live by and being brave enough to rewrite them
