Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Neurology

Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Neurology

Rodney S. Bagley

Iowa State University Press
2006
sidottu
Evaluating small animals with neurologic disease necessitates a fundamental understanding of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. Both clinicians and students alike can be overwhelmed by the complexity of the nervous system and its many functions. While it is always important to have detailed knowledge of the separate elements of the nervous system, it is most important for those in clinical practice to develop an overall understanding of how these distinct elements are integrated, interrelate, and interreact within the nervous system. Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Neurology offers a comprehensive yet practical overview of clinical neurology, providing clinicians and students with the unabridged knowledge they need to examine, diagnose, and treat disorders and diseases of the nervous system. Intended for veterinary students as well as for clinicians who want to refresh their basic understanding of veterinary neurology, Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Neurology covers all of the important considerations necessary for clinical evaluation of small animals with neurologic disease. Coverage includes basic concepts of nervous system functioning, clinical examination and problem identification associated with nervous system disease, neuroanatomical diagnosis, differential diagnosis (diseases of the nervous system), diagnostic testing, therapy, and clinical management of common and important neurologic conditions. Equips veterinary clinicians and students in veterinary medicine with the basics of clinical neurologyClear and comprehensive guidance through the nervous system and its functionsWritten by a leading expert in the field of veterinary neurology

The Constitution Goes to College

The Constitution Goes to College

Rodney A. Smolla

New York University Press
2011
sidottu
American college campuses, where ideas are freely exchanged, contested, and above all uncensored, are historical hotbeds of political and social turmoil. In the past decade alone, the media has carefully tracked the controversy surrounding the speech of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at Columbia, the massacres at Virginia Tech, the dismissal of Harvard's President Lawrence Summers, and the lacrosse team rape case at Duke, among others. No matter what the event, the conflicts that arise on our campuses can be viewed in terms of constitutional principles, which either control or influence outcomes of these events. In turn, constitutional principles are frequently shaped and forged by campus culture, creating a symbiotic relationship in which constitutional values influence the nature of universities, which themselves influence the nature of our constitutional values. In The Constitution Goes to College, Rodney A. Smolla—a former dean and current university president who is an expert on the First Amendment—deftly uses the American university as a lens through which to view the Constitution in action. Drawing on landmark cases and conflicts played out on college campuses, Smolla demonstrates how five key constitutional ideas—the living Constitution, the division between public and private spheres, the distinction between rights and privileges, ordered liberty, and equality—are not only fiercely contested on college campuses, but also dominate the shape and identity of American university life. Ultimately, Smolla compellingly demonstrates that the American college community, like the Constitution, is orderly and hierarchical yet intellectually free and open, a microcosm where these constitutional dichotomies play out with heightened intensity.

Dancing in Chains

Dancing in Chains

Rodney D. Olsen

New York University Press
1991
sidottu
"Dancing in Chains is far more than a sensitive biography (though it is surely that); it is also a model of psychologically informed social and cultural history. Olsen recognizes that psychic conflicts often play themselves out on a higher plane, that psychic and intellectual history are intertwined. He presents a wonderful nuanced picture of Howells." ?Jackson Lears,Rutgers University In this insightful study of the childhood and youth of William Dean Howells, Dancing in Chains demonstrates how the turbulent social and cultural changes of the early nineteenth century shaped the young Howells's emotional and intellectual life. His early diaries, letters, poetry, fiction, and newspaper columns are used to illustrate Olsen's argument, which also in turn throws light on the dominant tensions in antebellum America. Accepting the emergent middle-class ethos of civilized morality, with its new conceptions of child rearing and gender spheres, Howells's parents urged him to achieve self-control and individual success while also teaching him to seek the good of others rather than his own glory. For Howells the conflicts coalesced at the time of his leaving home, an increasing common rite of passage for antebellum youth. Trying to affirm his sense of literary vocation, he tested his aspirations against the family's Swedenborgian religious convictions and the antislavery commitments of his village while experimenting with competing literary ideologies in the process of meeting the demands of the new mass reading audience. For Howells the resulting tensions eased toward the end of his youth but reappeared in his more mature works of fiction and social criticism in later years. Portraying the ordeal of coming of age during a momentous period of American history, Dancing in Chains is a fascinating study with a broad appeal to general readers as well as scholars.

Targeting Commitment

Targeting Commitment

Rodney Scott; Ross Boyd

Brookings Institution
2022
nidottu
This book explores how and why the New Zealand government made progress and how the program was able to create and sustain the commitment of public servants and unleash the creativity of public entrepreneurs.The authors combine case studies based on the experience of people involved in the change, together with public management research. They explain how ambitious targets and public accountability were used as levers to overcome the bureaucratic barriers that impeded public service delivery, and how data, evidence, and innovation were used to change practice. New Zealand experimented, failed, succeeded, and learned from the experience over five years. This New Zealand experience demonstrates that interagency performance targets are a potentially powerful tool for fostering better public services and thus improving social outcomes.

Northern Pike

Northern Pike

Rodney B. Pierce

University of Minnesota Press
2012
sidottu
The northern pike-sometimes affectionately known as the “aquatic wolf”-is one of the most sought after and mythologized fishes in Minnesota, but until now there have been few books devoted to the history and ecological management of the species. Based on pioneering research carried out in Minnesota by leading pike specialist Rodney B. Pierce, Northern Pike Ecology, Conservation, and Management History is the most complete collection of information to date on the species, for everyone from scientists and conservation biologists to general readers and recreational anglers.A tremendously important game fish and resource both in Minnesota and throughout the northern hemisphere, northern pike populations directly reflect local geology and human influence, playing a key role in the health of freshwater ecosystems. As urbanization spreads and the human population continues to grow, pike populations face increasing pressure, requiring new ways of looking at and managing the species. In Minnesota, groundbreaking work has been conducted on northern pike: analyses of stocking success and investigations into the relationships within fish communities, the management of rearing marshes, environmental effects on natural production, the genetics of northern pike, and strategies for scientifically monitoring pike. The state has been a leader in developing fishing regulations to help restore large pike, among many other measures designed to ensure the future quantity and health of a key species in Minnesota’s waterways.Weaving significant historical scientific literature and technical details together with his own research, Pierce’s benchmark study documents and synthesizes the long history of northern pike management and describes the latest efforts being taken to better understand and manage this critical and renowned species.

The Story They Told Us of Light

The Story They Told Us of Light

Rodney Jones

The University of Alabama Press
2015
nidottu
Jones has a lyrical mind and meanders through memory and imagination in his poems, fusing them and making them work to surprise the reader with intriguing and challenging images. The collection builds beautifully, each section nurturing the others, and all of it displays Jones’s fine talent—keenly intelligent, human, and compassionate. His quick, splendid sense of humour surprises the reader, playing one image off another that is seemingly unrelated to the first, yet achieving a sense of rightness in poem after poem.

The Creative Power of Metaphor

The Creative Power of Metaphor

Rodney Kennedy

University Press of America
1993
nidottu
This study analyzes the symbiotic relationship between rhetoric and homiletics. The proposed interface between the two disciplines is metaphor. Contemporary research on metaphor in philosophy, rhetoric, sociology, and theology is employed to produce a rhetorical/metaphorical homiletics. This work attempts to return rhetoric to its traditional position as a conversation partner with homiletics. The author argues that a metaphorical, rhetorical approach to preaching is more faithful to the scriptures than the classical dependence on the canons of formal logic. The use of metaphor allows the preacher to choose the imagination over the rational paradigm as he/she creates new worlds of meaning for congregations.

Temporal Deixis of the Greek Verb in the Gospel of Mark with Reference to Verbal Aspect

Temporal Deixis of the Greek Verb in the Gospel of Mark with Reference to Verbal Aspect

Rodney J. Decker

Peter Lang Publishing Inc
2000
sidottu
Temporal Deixis of the Greek Verb provides a detailed grammatical study of the Greek verb in the Gospel of Mark focused on the question of temporal reference. Following the theory of verbal aspect proposed by several recent scholars, this book distinguishes between aspect and Aktionsart, semantics and pragmatics. It argues that temporal reference is not grammaticalized by the tenses of the Greek verb. Instead, koine Greek indicates these relationships through contextual means (temporal deixis). The full temporal range of usage of the verb in Mark's Gospel is examined, deictic indicators are catalogued, and selected passages are used to illustrate the ways in which time is indicated. This linguistic study provides a basis for more accurate exegesis of the text of Mark and other similar writings.

When the Shark Bites

When the Shark Bites

Rodney Morales

University of Hawai'i Press
2002
nidottu
Hank Rivera, one-time activist and now full-time construction worker, has just been evicted from his home in Waikiki and is forced to move to the Wai'anae coast. While in the midst of moving, Hank and his wife, Kanani, are approached by a college student researching the early years of Hawai'i's modern civil rights movement, which culminated in the rigorous protests surrounding the bombing of Kaho'olawe in 1976. Hesitant at first, Hank and Kanani agree to talk about the past and their role in the movement. Vivid and sometimes painful memories surface, causing both of them to question their feelings of love and loyalty - not only for each other, but for their heritage. Through the voices of Hank, Kanani, and others, Rodney Morales tells a thoroughly contemporary story of Hawai'i - one that addresses the realities of asserting one's culture in a multicultural world.

For a Song

For a Song

Rodney Morales

University of Hawai'i Press
2016
nidottu
Set in Honolulu during the summer of 2007, Rodney Morales’s For a Song melds actual events into an edgy detective novel that evokes contemporary Hawai‘i as a place where the hauntingly beautiful and the hauntingly tragic too often intersect. Against a backdrop of political scandal and police corruption, the richly complex plot is driven by true-to-life characters and crisp dialogue.David “Kawika” Apana is a reporter turned private detective who has hit rock bottom. Divorced and broke, his career is resuscitated when he gambles all and wins in a game of high stakes poker. He accepts a deal to trade in most of his winnings for a boat, which becomes his new home and office. His first client is a vivacious middle-aged blonde, Minerva Alter, who hires him to find her missing daughter, Caroline “Kay” Johnson, a budding filmmaker and activist in her twenties. Apana is startled to learn that Minerva was once married to Lino Johnson, a petty criminal brazenly gunned down in Honolulu’s Chinatown eighteen years earlier—an unsolved murder he covered during his reporter days.As Apana undertakes the investigation, he finds it opens a widening network of intrigue that includes Kay’s missing boyfriend and her murdered father. With her film project and her activism, especially that of challenging a planned development on conservation land, Kay has been a thorn in the side of Hawai‘i’s powers that be. Apana’s pursuit of leads takes him all over O‘ahu: from the metro downtown area, to the Windward and Leeward coasts, to the fabled North Shore, and to places beyond. It also takes him back in years as he revisits the Lino Johnson murder and discovers how much he had missed the first time around.

Vocation and Identity in the Fiction of Muriel Spark

Vocation and Identity in the Fiction of Muriel Spark

Rodney Stenning Edgecombe

University of Missouri Press
1990
sidottu
Muriel Spark's witty novels have long been appreciated by critics. Yet previous studies have been synoptic, trying to cover the entire oeuvre of an immensely prolific novelist. By selecting novels representative of distinct phases in Spark's career, Rodney Stenning Edgecombe is able to explore theme, style, and structure in a detailed way. Spark's conversion to Catholicism is frequently cited as a source of her novelistic voice, the one vocation being seen to result from the other. Edgecombe takes up this issue, showing, through judicious close readings of the novels, how the idea of vocation - whether religious or secular - provides a recurring centre of interest and thematic unity for the poet-turned-novelist. He explores the nature of the voice that finds its outlet in what he calls the epigrammatic structure of Sparks's fiction. Edgecombe shows her best novels to be elegantly incomplete, heavy with implied meaning, and all the more moving for their emotional restraint. This structure of expanded epigram, he argues, is the hallmark of Spark's fiction and is essential to its success. From Spark's early period, which focuses on tight-knit British communities, Edgecombe selects ""The Bachelors"" and ""The Girls of Slender Means"", two novels that flank her most famous works and share their density and conciseness. Viewing ""The Mandelbaum Gate"" an expansive departure from that early phase, he examines it on its own, before turning to the ""exilic era"" of Spark's residence abroad. From this he selects ""The Abbess of Crewe"" and ""The Takeover"", each representing different aspects of a problematic phase in Spark's career.

Families at the Crossroads

Families at the Crossroads

Rodney R. Clapp

Inter-Varsity Press,US
1993
nidottu
"Scant decades ago most Westerners agreed that . . . Lifelong monogamy was ideal . . . Mothers should stay home with children . . . premarital sex was to be discouraged . . . Heterosexuality was the unquestioned norm . . . popular culture should not corrupt children. Today not a single one of these expectations is uncontroversial." So writes Rodney Clapp in assessing the status of the family in postmodern Western society. In response many evangelicals have been quick to defend the so-called traditional family, assuming that it exemplifies the biblical model. Clapp challenges that assumption, arguing that the "traditional" family is a reflection more of the nineteenth-century middle-class family than of any family one can find in Scripture. At the same time, he recognizes that many modern and postmodern options are not acceptable to Christians. Returning to the biblical story afresh to see what it might say to us in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, Clapp articulates a challenge to both sides of a critical debate. A book to help us rethink the significance of the family for the next century.

A Peculiar People

A Peculiar People

Rodney R. Clapp

Inter-Varsity Press,US
1996
nidottu
Christians feel increasingly useless, argues Rodney Clapp, not because they have nothing to offer a post-Christian society, but because they are trying to serve as "sponsoring chaplins" to a civilization that no longer sees Christianity as necessary to its existence. In the individualistic, technologically oriented, consumer-based culture, Christianity has become largely irrelevant. Writing inclusively with considerable verve, Clapp offer a keen analysis of the church and its ministry as we face a new miillennium.
