Violence Against Black Bodiesargues that black deaths at the hands of police are just one form of violence that black and brown people face daily in the western world. Through the voices of scholars from different academic disciplines the book gives readers an opportunity to put the cases together and see that violent deaths in police custody are just one tentacle of the racial order--a hierarchy which is designed to produce trauma and discrimination, according to ones perceived race-ethnicity.

Written by a team of eminent historians, these essays explore how ten twentieth-century intellectuals and social reformers sought to adapt such familiar Victorian values as codecivilisation,codedomesticity, codeconscience andcodeimprovement to modern conditions of democracy, feminism and mass culture. Covering such figures as J.M. Keynes, E.M. Forster and Lord Reith of the BBC, these interdisciplinary studies scrutinize the children of the Victorians at a time when their private assumptions and public positions were under increasing strain in a rapidly changing world. After the Victorians is written in honour of the late Professor John Clive of Harvard, and uses, as he did, the method of biography to connnect the public and private lives of the generations who came after the Victorians.Review. . . the combination of richly-documented, detailed studies and a certain distance provided by the overwhelmingly North American perspective of the volume produces a particularly persuasive case . . ..*London Review of Books*As festschrifts go this volume is especially succesful...a well-conceived and executed collective work that deserves a wide readership among students of nineteenth- and twentieth-centure British history.*Albion*About the AuthorPeter Mandler is Senior Lecturer in History at London Guidhall University. Susan Pedersen is Associate Professor of History at Harvard University.

Cytopathology of Infectious Diseases is the first book of its kind to focus entirely on the cytopathology of infectious diseases. It contains all of the pertinent information about the cytology of infectious diseases and microorganisms and will serve as an ideal handy reference. This unique volume covers the cytomorphology of various microorganisms and the host reactions they elicit, and also incorporates an update on advances in the field. Newly recognized infections such as the recent discovery of the Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCV) are included, as well as the utility of new immunostains (e.g. CM2B4 for MCV) and the role of molecular techniques that assist in the identification, classification and even quantification of microorganisms. Each chapter is succinctly written and concisely referenced with key published articles and resources. The volume includes practical pointers, useful diagnostic criteria, differential diagnoses and potential pitfalls. Many color images of high resolution that illustrate microorganisms (e.g. branching hyphae) and host reactions (e.g. viral cytopathic effect) are included throughout. Relevant tables with diagrams that provide quick reference guides are incorporated. Cytopathology of Infectious Diseases will serve as a valuable reference tool for cytopathologists, anatomicalclinical pathologists, cytotechnologists, pathology residents and cytopathology fellows.ReviewFrom the reviews In a well-organized fashion, this easy-to-use synopsis of the cytopathology of infectious disease covers not only the specific microorganisms one may encounter in a cytological specimen, but also the host reactions that are elicited. This is a useful resource for pathology residents and practicing cytopathologists. The accompanying illustrations are of high quality and do a good job of pointing out specific cytomorphologic features. I am unaware of any recent publications that provide such extensive coverage of infectious disease cytopathology. (Sarah Thompson McHugh, Doodys Review Service, April, 2012) From the Back CoverThe Essentials in Cytopathology book series fulfills the need for an easy-to-use and authoritative synopsis of site specific topics in cytopathology. These guide books fit into the lab coat pocket and are ideal for portability and quick reference. Each volume is heavily illustrated with a full color art program, while the text follows a user-friendly outline format.

This book, by Charles T. Tart, world famous authority on altered states of consciousness, describes the results of a landmark study of 150 experienced marijuana users. What do they actually feel vs. propaganda about marijuana? Effects on vision, hearing, touch, social interaction, sexual sensations, space and time perception, thinking processes, spiritual experiences and ESP are among the many discussed. This is what can happen in the natural settings people use marijuana in, not the artificial conditions of the laboratory. This book will become the standard work on the subjective effects of marijuana.John KaplanReviewA model of systematic scientific work on an urgently important psycho-social problem. -- Gardner Murphy, Ph.D.About the AuthorCharles T. Tart, Ph.D., is internationally known for research on transpersonal psychology and parapsychology. His 14 books include two classics, Altered States of Consciousness, Transpersonal Psychologies and Body Mind Spirit Exploring the Parapsychology of Spirituality, which explores the scientific foundations of transpersonal psychology to show it is possible to be both a rigorous scientist and a spiritual seeker. His latest book is Mind Science Meditation Training for Practical People.

div id=iframeContentLawrence Durrells classic novel Monsieur is set in a dilapidated chateau near Avignon and focuses on a group of characters who have decided to remove themselves from the world. Egypt, France and Venice provide a background for the action, which offers an original interpretation of the so-called sins of the Templars as Durrell depicts his characters caught up in the sinister and mysterious doings of a gnostic suicide club. Monsieur contains some of the finest descriptive set-pieces even Durrell has ever written. I would not wish to have missed these evocations of Avignon of a winter horse-ride through the Provencal countryside of Christmas in a chateau crumbling into magnificent decay of a slow dreamlike journey through the Nile. Susan Hill, The TimesLawrence Durrell was born in 1912 in India. He attended the Jesuit College at Darjeeling and St Edmunds School, Canterbury. His first literary work, The Black Book, appeared in Paris in 1938. His first collection of poems, A Private Country, was published in 1943, followed by the three Island books Prosperos Cell, Reflections on a Marine Venus, about Rhodes, and Bitter Lemons, his account of life in Cyprus. Durrells wartime sojourn in Egypt led to his masterpiece, The Alexandria Quartet, which he completed in southern France where he settled permanently in 1957. Between the Quartet and The Avignon Quintet he wrote the two-decker Tunc and Nunquam. His oeuvre includes plays, a book of criticism, translations, travel writing, and humorous stories about the diplomatic corps. Caesars Vast Ghost, his reflections on the history and culture of Provence, including a late flowering of poems, appeared a few days before his death in Sommieres in 1990

This collection brings together essays examining the international influence of queens, other female rulers, and their representatives from 1450 through 1700, an era of expanding colonial activity and sea trade. As Europe rose in prominence geopolitically, a number of important womensuch as Queen Elizabeth I of England, Catherine de Medici, Caterina Cornaro of Cyprus, and Isabel Clara Eugenia of Austriaexerted influence over foreign affairs. Traditionally male-dominated spheres such as trade, colonization, warfare, and espionage were, sometimes for the first time, under the control of powerful women. This interdisciplinary volume examines how they navigated these activities, and how they are represented in literature. By highlighting the links between female power and foreign affairs, Colonization, Piracy, and Trade in Early Modern Europe contributes to a fuller understanding of early modern queenship. **

Author: Stefanos Geroulanos
File Type: pdf
The injuries suffered by soldiers during WWI were as varied as they were brutal. How could the human body suffer and often absorb such disparate traumas? Why might the same wound lead one soldier to die but allow another to recover? In The Human Body in the Age of Catastrophe, Stefanos Geroulanos and Todd Meyers uncover a fascinating story of how medical scientists came to conceptualize the body as an integrated yet brittle whole. Responding to the harrowing experience of the Great War, the medical community sought conceptual frameworks to understand bodily shock, brain injury, and the vast differences in patient responses they occasioned. Geroulanos and Meyers carefully trace how this emerging constellation of ideas became essential for thinking about integration, individuality, fragility, and collapse far beyond medicine in fields as diverse as anthropology, political economy, psychoanalysis, and cybernetics. Moving effortlessly between the history of medicine and intellectual history, The Human Body in the Age of Catastrophe is an intriguing look into the conceptual underpinnings of the world the Great War ushered in.

Author: Bill Leatherbarrow
File Type: pdf
Our nearest celestial neighbour, the Moon, has always been the most conspicuous feature in our night sky. It has compelled observers since the dawn of humankind, and all have tried to make sense in their own ways of the puzzles it poses and the questions it raises. It provided our ancient ancestors with one of the earliest means of keeping and measuring time, and many early religions had cults that worshipped the Moon. It regulates the tides and has been held accountable for numerous human conditions, most notably madness and psychological disorders. Drawing on many years of practical observation, Bill Leatherbarrow provides an illuminating insight into the history and evolution of this enthralling astronomical body. He describes how and why the study of the Moon has evolved, particularly in the age of the telescope, and offers an overview of developments in lunar science since the advent of the space age. Leatherbarrow also provides practical advice on how to make your own observations of the Moon. Extensively illustrated with images of the lunar surface, The Moon is an accessible introduction that will appeal to both amateur and professional astronomers and all those fascinated by Earths natural satellite. **Review A respected planetary observer since the 1960s, Leatherbarrow [offers a] concise account [that] reflects his deep understanding of the development of lunar science. This book is a must-have for all observers and students of the moon. (Martin Mobberley, president of the British Astronomical Association from 1997 to 1999) A fascinating look at the history of both the moon and how it has been observed, following up that information with numerous tips on how to observe the moon and understand the complexities of the features that you will be looking at yourself. I highly recommend this book to anyone of any level of lunar observing skill. (Robert A. Garfinkle, fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society) About the Author A retired professor of Russian and Slavonic studies at the University of Sheffield, Bill Leatherbarrow is also a lifelong amateur astronomer and observer of the moon. A past president of the British Astronomical Association, he is currently director of the associations Lunar Section. He is the author and editor of over a dozen books, and in 2016 minor planet 95852 was named Leatherbarrow after him by the International Astronomical Union.
