Motor Unit Number Estimation, Supplement to Clinical Neurophysiology Series, Volume 55
|
Elsevier Health Sciences(Elsevier) 2003 - (362 pages) This book is printed on demand, please allow up to 10 days extra for delivery. MUNE is a non-invasive, electrophysiologic method to estimate the number of motor neurons innervating a muscle or group of muscles. The ability to quantitatively estimate the number of surviving motor neurons is useful in the following areas: (a) clinically for diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders, (b) as an endpoint measure in clinical drug trials for lower motor neuron disorders, and (c) as a tool to obtain insight into the natural history and pathophysiology of lower motor neuron disorders. Relevant lower motor neuron disorders include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy and Charcot-Marie-Tooth inherited neuropathies. To date, there has been no formal meeting of investigators working in the field of MUNE. The symposium is designed to: (a) review and discuss the methods, advantages and disadvantages of each MUNE technique, (b) review previous applications of MUNE in research and clinical trials, (c) formulate plans for further studies to clarify issues that affect the accuracy and utility of MUNE. The symposium and workshop included an international roster of approximately 20 invited speakers who presented formal talks on the methods, assumptions, techniques and applications. Presentations by representatives from EMG equipment manufacturers were given. Each talk was followed by a discussion session, and groups of talks by a panel discussion. This publication is meant to serve as a manual for the theory and practice of MUNE. Currently, there is no book addressing MUNE. Section I. Special Lecture. 1. Review of MUNE over 30 years (R.

FORO ITALICO - Scarce Copy of The First Hardcover Edition
|
New York City, NY: PowerHouse Books - 1st Printing. Unpaginated. Published in 2003. Landmark collection of sculpture photographs. Now considered a contemproary art photography classic. A stunningly beautiful production by Daniel Power: Oversize-volume format. Handsome pictorial hard boards with brown cloth overboards and gilt titles embossed on the spine, as issued. Photographs by George Mott. Introduction by Giorgio Armani. Essays by Michelangelo Sabatino and Luigi Ballerini. Matching pictorial slipcase. Printed on thick coated stock paper in Italy to the very highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents the photographer's images of the most legendary modern Italian statues, which are the astonishing pastiche/hybrid of Greek and Roman Classicism, on the one hand, and Art Nouveau and Art Deco Mannerism, on the other. George Mott discovered the statues in 1962, and began photographing them in the 1990's. His highly erotic photographs of a highly erotic subject have been avidly collected by connoisseurs in Europe and America, and have been used extensively (perhaps too much so, as he was not always given credit) by fashion designers and advertising art directors. These photographs are being shown collectively for the first time, in one of the most exquisitely produced art photography books of our time. "Boasting to everyone that his forum would be grander than the Coliseum, Mussolini created the Stadio dei Marmi (Stadium of Statues), an arena built outside Rome for the 1944 Olympic Games. Believing a fascist state required the top level of physical fitness, II Duce provided inspiration for his nation in the form of monumental art, commissioning sculptors from all over the country to create sixty Herculean statues of white marble to be put atop six-foot pedestals surrounding the stadium. The statues, for which many living athletic figures posed, embodied the glorification of the athlete and the mannered heroism of the soldier. Startlingly erotic and poetic, each statue stands twelve feet tall, completely nude but for the occasional headband or sandals. So blatant was their sexual presence that the statues later provoked furtive attempts at decency. Once relegated to the category of political kitsch, these statues have been re-evaluated and are being recognized as objects of beauty and merit" (Publisher's blurb). "Sustains a guileless, perhaps unique, male eroticism which is at odds with the grandiloquent intentions of its planner and creators" (George Mott). Sometimes great art is created by accident rather than by design, and Stadio dei Marmi stand tall beside the art of such figures as Leni Riefenstahl, who remains the single most controversial artist/filmmaker/photographer of the 20th century, and Arno Breker, Jean Cocteau's (and Hitler's) favorite sculptor. As Susan Sontag noted, fascist aesthetics and art are inherently "sexier and more erotic" than any other modern propaganda/official art and most erotic art of any century. The contributors are heavyweights: Giorgio Armani, the greatest living Italian fashion designer, is one of the world's major collectors of Art Nouveau and Art Deco art, furniture, and memorabilia; Luigi Ballerini is an Italy-based poet and translator; Michelangelo Sabatino is a Venice-based architect and architectural historian. A "must-have" title for erotic art photography collectors. This title has been out-of-print for a very long time and is now highly collectible. This is one of very few copies still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a beauty. Many copies available online are remainder-marked and have serious flaws. A very scarce copy thus. Some of the finest living artists, writers, and designers. A fine copy. ISBN 157687169X.

Cet ouvrage n'est PAS DISPONIBLE EN LIBRAIRIE. 2 volumes br. sur cahiers cousus non coupes, non rognes, couverture Dampierre gris perle 300g. a rabats. Concu comme une suite des Cent Ans aux Pyrenees d'Henri Beraldi et de l 'Essai de Bibliographie Pyreneiste, cette etude de Jacques Labarere presente sous un jour nouveau la personnalite d'Henry Russell, en correlation avec son oeuvre imprimee. Fruit de dix ans de patientes recherches, de nombreux documents inedits provenant de sources privees enrichissent la biographie d'elements majeurs et fournissent a la bibliographie de precieuses informations. Une partie de ces documents sont reproduits dans le texte. L'auteur resitue de maniere tres complete les origines familiales prestigieuses et la jeunesse du futur explorateur partagee entre la France et l'Irlande. Sa passion pour le voyage emmene le jeune homme en Amerique puis autour du monde et debouche sur un ouvrage majeur : les Seize Mille lieues a travers l'Asie et l'Oceanie. Parallelement, Henry Russell debute sa carriere pyreneiste par une rencontre phare : celle d'Alfred Tonnelle. Ils font ensemble leur premiere ascension au Mont-Perdu. Pour la premiere fois sont evoque les amours de jeunesse contraries, face cachee et meconnue de l'auteur de la rarissime Histoire d'un COeur qui donne naissance a la legende de l'Edition du Gave. Genese d'un chef-d'oeuvre : les Souvenirs d'un Montagnard. A quarante quatre ans, le montagnard experimente compose l'ouvrage mythique du pyreneisme qui enchante ses contemporains et traverse le temps sans disgraces. Jacques Labarere releve et rectifie les erreurs persistantes qui entourent cette publication. Henry Russell est habite par la volonte de temoigner. Nous le suivons dans le dedale de ses publications et de toute une vie consacree aux ascensions pyreneennes. Poete, journaliste, ecrivain, guide, il est aussi l'incroyable architecte des Grottes du Vignemale, residence ou il recoit le « tout Pyrenees ». Homme du monde, musicien, philanthrope, c'est une nouvelle image que le biographe fait apparaitre, detruisant ainsi definitivement la reputation d'ermite misanthrope qui entoure le personnage. Voici restitue, presque cent ans apres sa mort, un vrai portrait du comte Henri Russell, suivi d'une imposante et complete bibliographie de l'ecrivain phare du pyreneisme. Ouvrage indispensable aux amoureux des Pyrenees en general, aux bibliophiles, amateurs, libraires et bibliothecaires en particulier qui auront en main un veritable outil de travail, un manuel de reference, un beau livre que le temps rendra precieux.

Denmark 2003 - Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark has from the Niels Wessel Bagge Art Foundation received a unique collection of Modern American art as well as Pre-Colombian ceramics from North- South- and Latinamerica i.e. American Indian art and crafts from the time prior to the European colonization around 1500 a.d., together with objects from Africa, New Guinea and the antique Europe. Included in the collection are also Anazasi and Hopi objects. It is an important addition to the modern and contemporary art collection at the Louisiana museum partly because of the influence the ancient art had on artists working in the 20th century. The Dane Niels Wessel Bagge had an international career as an actor, dancer, choreographer and set designer and his success enabled him to build this huge private collection., Danish, Year2003, Illust.

Elisabeth Hardouin-Fugier Etienne Grafe
Les Peintres de fleurs en France
|
Editions De L'amateur 15/04/2003 - Présentation de l'éditeur Peintes par milliers, dessinées par millions, adorées et méprisées en même temps, les fleurs représentent l'un des motifs les plus ignorés, les plus délaissés et même dénigrés de l'art du XIXe siècle. Une injustice flagrante, comme en témoignent les très nombreuses photographies reproduites dans ce livre, qui révèlent une prodigieuse variété d'espèces, d'arrangements et, évidemment, de talents. Botanique avec les savants du premier Empire, décorative dans les intérieurs cossus de la Monarchie de Juillet, la peinture de fleurs est une des plus grandes réussites du réalisme. Se déployant en cascades colorées sous les fastes du second Empire, elle se montre faussement rustique au temps d'un impressionnisme qui ne la tolère guère hors des plates-bandes ou des étangs de Giverny. Quant aux soleils de Van Gogh, c'est à l'époque de Madeleine Lemaire qu'ils flamboient. Bien que célébrées par Proust, Francis Jammes et Odilon Redon, les fleurs quittent l'avant-scène, découragées par les clous dont Picasso les affuble en guise de pistils. Ce magnifique ouvrage richement illustré consacre ses dernières pages à un répertoire complet des quelque cinq cents artistes cités, suivi d'un index et d'une table des illustrations détaillée. aazbook est spécialiste du livre neuf et occasion au meilleur prix.

First Person Strategic Part II - Arguments 4. Writing the Body - or Not 5. Hypothesising in the Feminine 6. Queer Stories and Troubled TestimoniesThrough close stylistic and rhetorical analysis across contemporary feminist writing, Lynne Pearce demonstrates how feminist thought is created as well as communicated by the frameworks in which it is presented.Is it possible that changes in rhetorical practice could alter not just how thought is expressed, but also how it is made? Through a close stylistic and rhetorical analysis of contemporary feminist writing - from the cultural theory of Judith Butler to the popular journalism of Naomi Wolf and Germaine Greer - Lynne Pearce demonstrates how feminist thought is created as well as communicated through the frameworks in which it is presented. By linking rhetorical innovation with feminist epistemology in such a direct way, this is a book that will be of immense methodological as well as theoretical interest to readers, providing valuable insight into the often mysterious processes of conception and composition.
