The Martin Buber-Carl Rogers dialogue

by Rob Anderson and Kenneth N. Cissna (1997)

About this book

The Martin Buber-Carl Rogers Dialogue offers a corrected and extensively annotated version of this central text in human sciences. Focusing on the sole meeting between these two central figures in twentieth-century intellectual life, Anderson and Cissna return to the original 1957 audio tape and to a variety of other primary sources as they correct and clarify the historical record. Anderson and Cissna discuss the central issues of the conversation, including the limits of mutuality approaches to "sell," alternative models of human nature, confirmation of others, and the nature of dialogic relation itself.

René Girard, du mimétisme à l'hominisation

Stéphane Vinolo

Le processus d'hominisation n'est ni plus ni moins que la solution à la violence engendrée par l'imitation des désirs. Si l'Homme s'arrache à la Nature, c'est parce qu'il accède à un mode de gestion particulier de la violence. Ne pouvant l'affronter face à face sans risquer d'amplifier ses dégâts, il la déplace sans cesse sur des boucs émissaires dont la veine commune rassemble. Ce modèle girardien nous aide à comprendre comment l'origine de la Culture n'est autre que l'apparition d'un mode de gestion particulier de la violence.

Bioelectricity

Robert Plonsey, Roger C. Barr

In the first edition of Bioelectricity, Plonsey and Barr provided an introduction to electrophysiology following a quantitative approach. In this second edition they address new discoveries in the field of ion channels. The text is an introduction to electrophysiology utilizing a quantitative approach. It describes the principles of electrical fields, using basic principles from science and engineering while taking the biological applications into consideration. The book thus provides an introduction to the quantitative description of underlying electrophysiology with illustrative application to cardiac electrophysiology and functional electrical stimulation. The book can be used as a bridge to more advanced texts, particularly those that stress a quantitative approach.

Thermal analysis of Micro, Nano- and Non-Crystalline Materials

Jaroslav Šesták, Peter Šimon

<p><i>Thermal Analysis of Micro-, Nano- and Non-Crystalline Materials: Transformation, Crystallization, Kinetics and Thermodynamics</i> complements and adds to volume 8 <i>Glassy, Amorphous and Nano-Crystalline Materials</i> by providing a coherent and authoritative overview of cutting-edge themes in the field of crystalline materials. In particular, the book focuses on reaction thermodynamics and kinetics applied to solid-state chemistry and thermal physics of various states of materials.</p><p> </p><p>In this volume the fundamental and historical aspects of phenomenological kinetics and the equilibrium background of processes are detailed. Crystal defects, non-stoichiometry and nano-crystallinity, reduced glass-transition temperatures and glass-forming coefficients are covered.^ The determination of the glass transition by DSC, the role of heat transfer and phase transition in DTA experiments, and the explanation of DTA/DSC methods used for the estimation of crystal nucleation are reviewed. Structural relaxation and viscosity behaviour in glass and associated relaxation kinetics are also examined, together with the influence of preliminary nucleation and coupled phenomenological kinetics nucleation on both the strongly curved surfaces and nano-particles. The book investigates crystallization of glassy and amorphous materials including oxides, chalcogenides and metals, non-parametric and fractal description of kinetics, disorder and dimensionality in nano-crystalline diamond.^ Moreover, it analyzes thermal analysis of waste glass batches, amorphous inorganic polysialates and bioactivity of hydroxyl groups as well as reaction kinetics and unconventional glass formability of oxide superconductors.</p><p> </p><p>Written by an international array of distinguished academics, <i>Thermal Analysis of Micro-, Nano- and Non-Crystalline Materials: Transformation, Crystallization, Kinetics and Thermodynamics</i> is a valuable resource to advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and researches working in the fields of applied material thermodynamics, thermal analysis, thermophysical measurements and calorimetry.</p><p></p>
