Living with Illness

Psychosocial Challenges

By: Cath Rogers-Clark,Kristine Martin-McDonald,Alexandra McCarthy

Living with Illness: Psychosocial Challenges focuses on developing and strengthening understanding of the illness experience. It encourages students to critically appraise conventional approaches to understanding and caring for those who are ill, to empower readers to off true holistic care and to, where appropriate, change nursing practice in light of current research findings. Traditionally nurses have drawn on knowledge from sociology and psychology as two separate but related disciplines to nursing, leaving the beginning level nurse to relate, integrate and translate knowledge gained into nursing practice. Living with Illness combines, in a unique way, sociological and psychological perspectives to creatively represent psychosocial knowledge that is innovative and directly applicable to contemporary nursing practice. - Provides a fresh innovative approach to the teaching of psychosocial nursing through extensive use of nursing research and theory. - Emphasis will be the voices of those living with illness with extensive use of case studies to illustrate theoretical perspectives being discussed. - Examines how people's experiences with health and illness are influenced by families, communities and health care systems. - Provides link between foundations of sociology, psychology and nursing practice.

By: Melba Cuddy-Keane,Adam Hammond,Alexandra Peat

Short-listed for The Modernist Studies Association 2015 Book Prize for an Edition, Anthology, or Essay Collection Highlights and exposes the salient controversies and changing cultural thought at the heart of modernism Goes beyond constructions of “plural modernisms” to reveal all modernist writing as overlapping and interactive in a simultaneous and interlocking mix Draws from a vast compilation of more than a thousand sources, ranging from vernacular prose to experimental literary forms Spans the “long” modernist period, from its incipient beginnings c.1880 to its post-WWII aftermath Approaches English written modernism in its own terms, tempering explanations of modernism often derived from European poets and painters Models research techniques based on digital databases and collaborative work in the humanities

Publics, Elites and Constitutional Change in the UK

A Missed Opportunity?

By: Daniel Kenealy,Jan Eichhorn,Richard Parry,Lindsay Paterson,Alexandra Remond

This book explores the governance of the UK, and the process of constitutional change, between Scotland’s independence referendum in September 2014 and the UK general election in May 2015. The book contrasts the attitudes of the public, captured through an original survey, with those of politicians, civil servants, and civic leaders, identified through over forty interviews. It pays particular attention to two case studies involving recent changes to the UK’s governing arrangements: the Smith Commission and the transfer of further powers to the Scottish Parliament, and Greater Manchester’s devolution deal that has become a model for devolution across England. It also considers the issue of lowering the voting age to 16, contrasting the political attitudes of younger voters in Scotland with those in the rest of the UK. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of UK politics, devolution, constitutional change, public attitudes, and territorial politics.

Lymph Nodes

By: Horatiu Olteanu,Alexandra Harrington, MD,Steven H. Kroft

Pathologists from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee focus on histopathological features of lymph node diseases, though also discuss important ancillary studies used for diagnosis where appropriate. They use low-power images throughout to evaluate the several anatomic and functional compartments of lymph nodes separately. Their topics include reactive lymphadenopathies, spindle cell neoplasms of lymph nodes, mature B-cell neoplasms, immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferative disorders, and acute myeloid leukemia and related precursor neoplasms.

States Falling Apart?

Secessionist and Autonomy Movements in Europe

By: Eva Maria Belser,Alexandra Fang-Bär,Nina Massüger,Rekha Oleschak Pillai

An increasing number of European countries are being faced with demands for greater autonomy or independence from regional groups. The legitimacy of nation states in Europe is thus being called into question not only by the forces of globalization and Europeanization from above, but also by growing pressure to recognize the autonomous or independent status of regional groups from below. From Scotland to Catalonia, from Flanders to South Tyrol, the movements vary in their intensity and demands, yet also have many commonalities. This book constitutes a compilation of papers presented at the international Conference "States Falling Apart? Secessionist and Autonomy Movements in Europe" at the University of Fribourg in 2013 and is a timely addition to the literature on secession, autonomy and federalism. With theoretical contributions and case studies, it presents a wide range of opinions and facts on these issues.

Island on Fire

Island on Fire

By: Alexandra Witze

Laki is Iceland’s largest volcano. Its eruption in 1783 is one of history’s great, untold natural disasters. Spewing out sun-blocking ash and then a poisonous fog for eight long months, the effects of the eruption lingered across the world for years. It caused the deaths of people as far away as the Nile and created catastrophic conditions throughout Europe.Island on Fire is the story not only of a single eruption but the people whose lives it changed, the dawn of modern volcanology, as well as the history—and potential—of other super-volcanoes like Laki around the world. And perhaps most pertinently, in the wake of the eruption of another Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajökull, which closed European air space in 2010, acclaimed science writers Witze and Kanipe look at what might transpire should Laki erupt again in our lifetime.

By: Pauline Harris,Cynthia Brock,Elspeth McInnes,Bec Neill,Alexandra Diamond,Jenni Carter,Ufemia Camaitoga,Meresiana Krishna,Eleni Giannakis

This book offers a comprehensive report on a three-year, cross-cultural, critical participatory action research study, conducted in children’s homes and communities in Fiji.

The book includes rich descriptions of the young children’s lived, multilingual literacy practices in their home and community contexts. This work advances research-based practices for fostering young children’s multilingual literacy and building community capacity in a post-colonial Pasifika context; further, it shares valuable insights into processes and complexities that are inherent to multiliteracy and cross-cultural research.
