HIV/AIDS, Second Edition

by Patrick G. Guilfoile, Ph.D.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a viral infection that can develop into acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). More than 1 million Americans are infected with HIV/AIDS, and the Centers for Disease Control estimate that 15 percent of them are unaware of it. There is no cure or vaccine for HIV/AIDS, but it can be managed through proper medication and a healthy lifestyle. HIV/AIDS, Second Edition describes the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of HIV/AIDS, the newest research in the field, and future prospects for controlling the disease. Chapters include: What Are HIV and AIDS? The History of HIV/AIDS The Biology of HIV/AIDS Diagnosis and Treatment of HIV/AIDS Prevention of HIV/AIDS Attempts to Develop a Vaccine for HIV/AIDS HIV/AIDS: Future Prospects and Concerns.

Sexually Transmitted Infections and AIDS in the Tropics

by Edited by Om P Arya, Charles A Hart

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) are a major public health problem both in their own right and because of their link with HIV infection. This has elevated their control to an absolute priority throughout the world. In developing countries, which account for approximately 75% of the easily curable STI, as estimated by the WHO, and where sexually transmitted HIV infection has reached epidemic proportions, the need is most acute. Here AIDS is claiming hundreds of thousands of lives and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. In addition, because of inadequate resources, the sequelae of STI (e.g. infertility and some cancers) contribute greatly to ill-health in the tropics. This book written by acknowledged experts working or with experience in tropical countries, gives clear, concise and up to date knowledge and understanding on all aspects of Sexually Transmitted Infections. It should be useful for all those involved in the appropriate management and control of STI in various settings, ranging from peripheral and rural and urban health care centres to large hospitals. It will also be invaluable for students of tropical medicine, medical microbiology and genito-urinary medicine.

The new pornographies

Explicit sex in recent French fiction and film

by Victoria Best, Martin Crowley

The turn of the twenty-first century has witnessed the striking advance of pornography into the Western cultural mainstream. Symptomatic of this development has been the use by writers, artists, and film-makers of the imagery and aesthetics of pornography, in works which have, often on this basis, achieved considerable international success. Amongst these artists are a number of French authors and directors - such as Michel Houellebecq, Catherine Breillat, Virginie Despentes, or Catherine Millet - whose work has often been dismissed as trashy or exploitative, but whose use of pornographic material may in fact be indicative of important contemporary concerns. In this study of a very significant trend, the authors explore how the reference to pornography encodes diverse political, cultural, and existential questions, including relations between the sexes, the collapse of avant-garde politics, gay sexualities in the time of AIDS, the anti-feminist backlash, the relation to the body and illness, the place of fantasy, and the sexualisation of children. It will be of interest to undergraduates, graduates, and researchers in the fields of French culture, gender, film and media studies.

Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht.

Freddie Mercury

Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre

by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Ruby Taylor, Silke Kleemann

Als Farrokh Bulsara wurde er im heutigen Tansania geboren. Freddie, wie man ihn nannte, lernte Klavier und beeindruckte im Schulchor durch seine imposante Stimme. Stundenlang konnte er vor dem Radio sitzen und Musik hören, am liebsten Rock’n’Roll. Als die Familie nach London zieht, die coolste Stadt für einen Musiker, landet er schnell in einer Band, sie nennen sich »Queen«. Und ihre Queen ist Freddie Mercury, der mit seinen Bühnenkostümen Furore macht und mit seinem Gesang sowieso. Monatelang stehen die von ihm komponierten Lieder wie »Bohemian Rhapsody« oder »We are the Champions« auf Platz 1 der Charts. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.
