Wollstonecraft, Mill, and Women's Human Rights by Eileen Hunt Botting Wollstonecraft, Mill, and Women's Human Rights by Eileen Hunt Botting PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad How can women’s rights be seen as a universal value rather than a Western value imposed upon the rest of the world? Addressing this question, Eileen Hunt Botting offers the first comparative study of writings by Mary Wollstonecraft and John Stuart Mill. Although Wollstonecraft and Mill were the primary philosophical architects of the view that women’s rights are human rights, Botting shows how non-Western thinkers have revised and internationalized their original theories since the nineteenth century. Botting explains why this revised and internationalized theory of women’s human rights—grown out of Wollstonecraft and Mill but stripped of their Eurocentric biases—is an important contribution to thinking about human rights in truly universal terms.

Chaos, Fractals, and Noise: Stochastic Aspects of Dynamics (Applied Mathematical Sciences) by Andrzej Lasota, Michael C. Mackey Chaos, Fractals, and Noise: Stochastic Aspects of Dynamics (Applied Mathematical Sciences) by Andrzej Lasota, Michael C. Mackey PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad The first edition of this book was originally published in 1985 under the ti­ tle "Probabilistic Properties of Deterministic Systems. " In the intervening years, interest in so-called "chaotic" systems has continued unabated but with a more thoughtful and sober eye toward applications, as befits a ma­ turing field. This interest in the serious usage of the concepts and techniques of nonlinear dynamics by applied scientists has probably been spurred more by the availability of inexpensive computers than by any other factor. Thus, computer experiments have been prominent, suggesting the wealth of phe­ nomena that may be resident in nonlinear systems. In particular, they allow one to observe t

Checkpoint Controls and Targets in Cancer Therapy (Cancer Drug Discovery and Development) Checkpoint Controls and Targets in Cancer Therapy (Cancer Drug Discovery and Development) PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Much work over the last two decades has firmly established that loss of cell cycle checkpoint regulation, and resultant unabated cellular proliferation, is an inherent characteristic of cancer. This loss may occur through aberration in any single component involved in signal transduction pathways that orchestrate checkpoint regulation, which may manifest through either a failure to activate the checkpoint or a failure to respond to the activated checkpoint. In normal cells, checkpoint pathways are activated when genetic or cellular homeostasis is compromised, and signals are then transduced to re-stabilize homeostasis, and, failing this, to activate the apoptotic machinery to induce a cellular suicidal response. This implies that both survival and cell death pathways are induced follo

Soap (Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics) by Francis Ponge Soap (Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics) by Francis Ponge PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad ". . . And now, dear reader, for your intellectual toilet, here is a little piece of soap. Well handled, we guarantee it will be enough. Let us hold this magic stone." The poet Francis Ponge (1899-1988) occupied a significant and unchallenged place in French letters for over fifty years, attracting the attention and admiration of generations of leading intellectuals, writers, and painters, a notable feat in France, where reputations are periodically reassessed and undone with the arrival of new literary and philosophical schools. Soap occupies a crucial, pivotal position in Ponge's work. Begun during the German occupation when he was in the Resistance, though completed two decades later, it determined, according to Ponge, the form of almost all his postwar writing. With this work, he began to turn away from the small, perfect poem toward a
