Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2024Out of his mind
Masculinity and mental illness in Victorian Britain
by Amy Milne-Smith
Out of His Mind interrogates how Victorians made sense of the madman as both a social reality and a cultural representation. Even at the height of enthusiasm for the curative powers of nineteenth-century psychiatry, to be certified as a lunatic meant a loss of one's freedom and in many ways one's identify. Because men had the most power and authority in Victorian Britain, this also meant they had the most to lose. The madman was often a marginal figure, confined in private homes, hospitals, and asylums. Yet as a cultural phenomenon he loomed large, tapping into broader social anxieties about respectability, masculine self-control, and fears of degeneration. Using a wealth of case notes, press accounts, literature, medical and government reports, this text provides a rich window into public understandings and personal experiences of men's insanity.

Forestry & related industriesJuly 1998Heterobasidion annosum
Biology, Ecology, Impact and Control
by Edited by Steven Woodward, J Stenlid, R Karjalainen, A Hüttermann
The fungus Heterobasidion annosum is, in economic terms, the most important causal agent of disease and of yield loss in coniferous trees in northern temperate regions. This is the first book which brings together and summarises the considerable amount of knowledge which has been gathered about all aspects of this disease. It has been prepared and published with support from the European Union, under the Agriculture and Agro- Industrial Research (AAIR) programme. Drawing on over 2,000 research papers and books published from the early nineteenth century to the present day, the book covers topics which include the history, detection, biology, taxonomy and distribution of H. annosum. It provides the latest information on infection, host resistance, the biochemistry of the host-parasite interaction, molecular and genetic regulation of the host response and methods of control. It concludes with a series of case studies from Europe and North America. This book is an indispensable source of information for all those involved in the management of coniferous forests and plantations wishing to reduce the impact of this disease on yields. It should also become the accepted text for students of forestry and plant pathology studying H. annosum, and an invaluable reference manual for scientists researching this, and other fungal tree diseases.

MedicineSeptember 2018Animal Welfare in a Changing World
by Edited by Andrew Butterworth
Contemporary and challenging, this thought-provoking book outlines a number of the key dilemmas in animal welfare for today's, and tomorrow's, world. The issues discussed range from the welfare of hunted animals, to debates around intensive farming versus sustainability, and the effects of climate and environmental change. The book explores the effects of fences on wild animals and human impacts on carrion animals; the impacts of tourism on animal welfare; philosophical questions about speciesism; and the quality and quantity of animal lives. The welfare impacts of human-animal interactions are explored, including human impacts on marine mammals, fish, wildlife, and companion and farm animals. Animal Welfare in a Changing World provides: Concise, opinion-based views on important issues in animal welfare by world experts and key opinion leaders. Pieces based on experience, which balance evidence-based approaches and the welfare impacts of direct engagement through training, campaigning and education. A wide-ranging collection of examples and descriptions of animal welfare topics which outline dilemmas in the real world, that are sometimes challenging, and not always comfortable reading. This is a 'must-read' book for animal and veterinary scientists, ethologists, policy and opinion leaders, NGOs, conservation biologists and anyone who feels passionately about the welfare of animals

Ausgewählte Gedichte
by Elke Erb
2020 – das dichterische und essayistische Werk von Elke Erb geht in das fünfte Jahrzehnt. Was im Jahr 1975 mit dem Band Gutachten begann, setzt sich bis in die Gegenwart fort: Gedichtverdacht heißt der jüngste Band aus dem Jahr 2019. Dazwischen liegen mehr als fünfzehn Veröffentlichungen, in denen Elke Erb nicht nur neue Schreibweisen, sondern auch neue Gattungen verwirklichte, das essayistische Langgedicht, die poetische Selbstreferenz, das Prosagedicht, alle Fraktale des Kommentars. »Ich studierte und entkräftete die hierarchisch spaltenden Tendenzen des linearen Schreibens …, so dass vorher stumm-(dunkel-)gebliebene Zusammenhänge im sprachlichen Spiegel erschienen und sich aus ihnen neue Zusammenhänge (Erkenntnisse, Aspekte, Einsichten, Überblicke) fortschreitend bildeten«, beschreibt Elke Erb im Jahr 1988 ihr Verfahren. Aus diesem unverwechselbaren und eigenständigen Lebenswerk, das noch lange nicht beendet ist, haben Steffen Popp und Monika Rinck eine Auswahl zusammengestellt – angefangen mit ersten Arbeiten bis hin zu Erbs jüngsten Gedichten, die zu dem Lebendigsten und Innovativsten gehören, was die deutschsprachige Lyrik derzeit zu bieten hat.

Seeking and Sustaining Mountains and Their Cultures
by Edited by Laurence A G Moss
Places with perceived high environmental quality and distinctive culture are globally attracting amenity migrants. Today this societal driving force is particularly manifest in mountain areas, and while beneficial for both the new comers and locals, is also threatening highland ecologies and their human communities. This book describes and analyses the challenges and opportunities of amenity migration and its management, and offers related recommendations.The book's chapters cover the subject through case studies at international, regional and local levels, along with overarching themes such as environmental sustainability and equity, mountain recreation users, housing, and spiritual motivation. A crucial issue addressed is the relationship of amenity migration to tourism, and migration motivated by economic gain. The introduction and concluding chapters bring all of the information and analyses together strategically, summarising in a manner of theoretical and practical value for both academics and practitioners.
