        Popular science and public opinion in eighteenth-century France

        by Michael Lynn, Joseph Bergin, Penny Roberts, Bill Naphy

        In this book, Michael R. Lynn analyses the popularisation of science in Enlightenment France. He examines the content of popular science, the methods of dissemination, the status of the popularisers and the audience, and the settings for dissemination and appropriation. Lynn introduces individuals like Jean-Antoine Nollet, who made a career out of applying electric shocks to people, and Perrin, who used his talented dog to lure customers to his physics show. He also examines scientifically oriented clubs like Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier's Musée de Monsieur which provided locations for people interested in science. Phenomena such as divining rods, used to find water and ores as well as to solve crimes; and balloons, the most spectacular of all types of popular science, demonstrate how people made use of their new knowledge. Lynn's study provides a clearer understanding of the role played by science in the Republic of Letters and the participation of the general population in the formation of public opinion on scientific matters.

        After many years of careful study combined with practical hands-on experience with hundreds of patients, Dr Raymond Perrin has arrived at the firm conclusion that CSF/ME is a structural disorder with definite diagnosable clinical signs. He has developed the Perrin Technique to stimulate lymphatic drainage from the brain and spinal cord and restore the health of the sympathetic nervous system - the secret of setting you on the path to recovery. In his ground-breaking book you discover: the importance of body structure and posture in developing CFS/ME; the stages leading to CFS/ME; the physical signs of CFS/ME; how osteopathy can help; the stages of treatment; exercises and self-massage routines.

        SLUTTY RED

        by Perrine Le Querrec

        Over the course of several weeks, female victims of domestic violence confided their stories to author Perrine Le Querrec, to break the silence and speak the unspeakable. The result is a raw, searing book, faithful to these women’s trauma, told in language that powerfully conveys their bruised bodies, the humiliation and contempt they suffered, the shame they feel. This collection of short, hard-hitting prose poems is a genuine awakening, a vessel that honors many voices joined in a single horrific story of abuse.

        The New Culture of Therapeutic Activity with Older People

        by Tessa Perrin

        Once viewed as entertainment, activity provision is increasingly being seen as of therapeutic value and an integral part of quality care practice. This change has been so rapid and far-reaching that many staff teams have been left behind, attempting to address new culture requirements with old culture knowledge. This book clarifies and illuminates the changes that have been taking place in the field of activity provision over recent years, and offers a guideline to those who are endeavouring to catch up. Contents include: The difference between old culture and new culture thinking and practice The new culture from the perspective of: The politician The manager The care assistant The activity provider The researcher The trainer The community worker The activity charity. Between them, the contributors bring a breadth of experience of the changing culture that spans more than three decades. This is a vital resource for all staff and management of care settings for older people.
