Euripides

Euripides

By: Isabelle Torrance

Sophocles, Aeschylus and Euripides are often described as the greatest tragedians of the ancient world. Of these three pivotal founders of modern drama, Euripides is characterized as the interloper and the innovator: the man who put tragic verse into the mouths of slaves, women and the socially inferior in order to address vital social issues such as sex, class and gender relations. It is perhaps little wonder that his work should find such resonance in the modern day. In this concise introduction, Isabelle Torrance engages with the thematic, cultural and scholarly difficulties that surround his plays to demonstrate why Euripides remains a figure of perennial relevance. Addressing here issues of social context, performance theory, fifth-century philosophy and religion, textual criticism and reception, the author presents an astute and attractively-written guide to the Euripidean corpus – from the widely read and celebrated Medea to the lesser-known and deeply ambiguous Alcestis.

Sarah's Ten Fingers

By: Isabelle Stamler

In the early 1900s, Sarah, a single mother of six children, is trapped in the bloody upheaval marking the death of Czarist Russia and the birth of the Soviet Union. Facing bigotry, poverty, and bloody revolution, Sarah determines to escape the catastrophe engulfing her and her family. She vows to bring them to America. In this memoir, author Isabelle Stamler traces her family's roots back to the small Belarussian hamlet of Vashisht, telling their story of the journey from Russia to a new life in New York City. From the Great Depression through World War II and beyond, Sarah's Ten Fingers narrates the trials and tribulations faced by this determined mother seeking a better existence for her family. Sarah's Ten Fingers recalls Sarah's tenacity, strength, and intelligence traits that have been replicated in her progeny, who are now teachers, lawyers, doctors, accountants, business owners, and writers. It portrays fifty years in the lives of a family that was brought out of hell by a pious Jewish woman seeking to attain the Golden Land.

Euripides: Iphigenia among the Taurians

Euripides: Iphigenia among the Taurians

By: Isabelle Torrance

In this new student introduction to a Greek tragedy, Isabelle Torrance looks at what makes Iphigenia among the Taurians a successful tragedy in ancient Greek terms, and how dramatic excitement is achieved through the exotic setting, the cast of characters, and the chorus. Assuming no knowledge of Greek, and with students in mind, the central themes of ethnicity and gender relations are examined to show how Euripides manipulates established stereotypes. The play was one of Aristotle's favourites and his enthusiasm derived from the fact that, in spite of its ostensibly happy ending, the play presents the audience with an exquisitely constructed reversal of events: when Iphigenia recognizes that she has been about to sacrifice her long-lost brother, kin-murder is avoided and the plot turns into an escape drama. Other significant concerns of the play surround ritual and the gods, and these are discussed to highlight how the drama asks probing theological questions. Finally, the vast reception history of the play in a variety of genres, such as ancient comedy, Roman philosophy, European opera, and 20th century theatre, is sketched out from antiquity to the present day.

University Planning and Architecture

The search for perfection

By: Jonathan Coulson,Paul Roberts,Isabelle Taylor

The environment of a university – what we term a campus – is a place with special resonance. They have long been the setting for some of history’s most exciting experiments in the design of the built environment. Christopher Wren at Cambridge, Le Corbusier at Harvard, and Norman Foster at the Free University Berlin: the calibre of practitioners who have shaped the physical realm of academia is superlative. Pioneering architecture and innovative planning make for vivid assertions of academic excellence, while the physical estate of a university can shape the learning experiences and lasting outlook of its community of students, faculty and staff. However, the mounting list of pressures – economic, social, pedagogical, technological – currently facing higher education institutions is rendering it increasingly challenging to perpetuate the rich legacy of campus design. In this strained context, it is more important than ever that effective use is made of these environments and that future development is guided in a manner that will answer to posterity. This book is the definitive compendium of the prestigious sphere of campus design, envisaged as a tool to help institutional leaders and designers to engage their campus’s full potential by revealing the narratives of the world’s most successful, time-honoured and memorable university estates. It charts the worldwide evolution of university design from the Middle Ages to the present day, uncovering the key episodes and themes that have conditioned the field, and through a series of case studies profiles universally-acclaimed campuses that, through their planning, architecture and landscaping, have made original, influential and striking contributions to the field. By understanding this history, present and future generations can distil important lessons for the future. The second edition includes revised text, many new images, and new case studies of the Central University of Venezuela and Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad.

Contemporary Monastic Economy

A Sociological Perspective Across Continents

By: Isabelle Jonveaux

This book examines the economy of contemporary Catholic monasticism from a sociological perspective, considering the ways in which monasteries engage with the capitalist world economy via a model which aims less at ‘performance’ per se, than at the fulfilment of human and religious values. Based on fieldwork across several countries in Europe, Africa and South America, it explores not only the daily work and economy in monastic communities in their tensions with religious life, but also the new interest from society in monastic products or monastic management. With attention to present trends in monastic economy, including the growth of ecology and the role of monasteries in the social and economic development of their localities, the author demonstrates that monastic economy consists not solely in the subsistence of religious communities outside the world, but in economic activity that has a real impact on its local or even more global environment, in part through transnational networks of monasteries. As such, Contemporary Monastic Economy: A Sociological Perspective will appeal to scholars of religious studies and sociology with interests in contemporary monasticism.

Atlas of Cutaneous Branch Territories for the Diagnosis of Neuropathic Pain

Atlas of Cutaneous Branch Territories for the Diagnosis of Neuropathic Pain

By: Claude J. Spicher,Tara L. Packham,Nadège Buchet,Isabelle Quintal,Pierre Sprumont

This atlas is the result of research involving over 3,000 patients consecutively recruited since 2004. Clinical practice gives the opportunity to observe many more Aβ axonal lesions (axonotmesis) than transections (neurotmesis), consequently the mapped hypo aesthetic territories are partial. Therefore, the authors define for each cutaneous nerve branch, the autonomous territory and the boundary markers of the largest territory of cutaneous origin. Each anatomical chart of a cutaneous branch is the superposition of tens, even hundreds of observations seen in clinical practice – based on 3,133 maps of observed cutaneous hypoaesthetic territories. The data collected has also been cross-referenced with that published in nearly 100 other anatomy books. This 1st English edition – based on the 3rd French edition published by Sauramps Medical – illustrates the usefulness of anatomical knowledge for clinical practice. More precisely, it seeks to demonstrate how these topographic elements can offer valuable support, both for the clinical anamnesis, and for the clinical examination of neuropathic pain patients. This atlas is at the crossroads between the medical and rehabilitation disciplines. Accordingly, it addresses the needs of medical doctors, from GPs to specialists, and of pain therapists, and offers a valuable asset for all health professionals who are dedicated to the management of pain and associated problems.

University Trends

Contemporary Campus Design

By: Jonathan Coulson,Paul Roberts,Isabelle Taylor

The campus has a deep-rooted prestige as a place of teaching, learning and nurturing. Conjuring images of cloistered quadrangles, of sunny lawns, of wood-panelled libraries, it is a word viscerally charged with centuries of scholarly tradition. And yet it is also a place of cutting-edge science, vibrancy and energy. It is this dual nature, this concurrent adherence to tradition and innovation, which renders the physical environment of the university such a redolent, enduring and dynamic realm. However, it also means that the twenty-first-century campus is a highly challenging and exacting landscape to design and manage successfully. Today, the scale of the pressures and the rate of change facing higher education institutions are greater than ever. Squeezed public spending, growing societal expectations and the broadening education ambitions of developing nations are set against a backdrop of rapid technological progress and changing pedagogies. What are the repercussions for the physical realities of university planning and architecture? And how are university campuses adapting to contend with these pressures? University Trends: Contemporary Campus Design introduces the most significant, widespread and thought-provoking trends that are currently shaping the planning and architecture of higher education institutions across the world. Within this completely revised second edition, Part One identifies current patterns such as hub buildings, large-scale expansions, adaptive reuse and innovation buildings. Part Two profiles these through recent, well-illustrated, global case studies. The essential guide to current and future trends in campus design.

Pediatric Neurology Part III

Chapter 136. Diagnostic workup for neuromuscular diseases

By: Michel Fardeau,Isabelle Desguerre

Clinical symptoms of neuromuscular diseases vary according to age and type of primary involvement (spinal motor neuron, nerve, neuromuscular junction or muscle). Tools at our disposal for diagnostic purposes are graduated based on the age of the patient and diagnostic suspicions generated by the clinical workup. Seven clinical presentations can be identified that all require technical facilities specifically dedicated to pediatric neuromuscular diseases: congenital hypomobility and arthrogryposis, paralytic hypotonia in infancy, motor delay and chronic walking difficulties after the age of 18 months, progressive walking difficulties after the age of 3 years, effort intolerance and acute rhabdomyolysis, acute motor symptoms or fatigability, and variability of symptoms. Electrophysiological investigation, particularly electromyography, is a valuable tool where neurogenic involvement or neuromuscular block is suspected. However, the technique is difficult to perform in children. Muscle biopsy is generally the key investigation and can be performed at any age. Molecular biology helps to improve diagnostic strategy. Muscle MRI, in combination with clinical evaluation, assists the selection of appropriate genetic tests and more generally the identification of genetically distinct forms of neuromuscular disorder. None of these are by any means routine investigations, and only a specialized multidisciplinary clinical approach can permit correct diagnosis and proper follow-up.

New Medications for Drug Abuse

By: Stanley D. Glick,Isabelle Maisonneuve

The development of new medications for pain and drug abuse is a serious and pressing issue in the medical world of addiction treatments. Edited by Stanley Glick and Isabelle Maisonneuve, this book focuses on collected studies performed and recorded by leading doctors and researchers in the field of drug research. Research on the problems associated with pharmacology of drug abuse demands not only the determination of the mechanisms of cellular action of the addictive substances, but also short- and long-term physiological effects of addiction and of treatment, including the course of withdrawal symptoms. This volume focuses on protocols for development of new pharmacotherapies for drug abuse, including alcoholism and smoking; bridging animal and human models; preclinical assessment models; new approaches to treatment of pain during withdrawal; new treatments for stimulant and opioid addictions. Larger-scale social issues posed by this seemingly refractory problem, such as prenatal cocaine exposure and the legacy of methadone, are also examined. Presenting their results with worldwide public health issues in mind, this distinguished group of contributors tackle the present and potential problems concerning drug abuse medications. Contributors include Jean Bidlack, Frank Porreca, Lindsay Hough, Gerald Gebhart, Thomas Kosten, Nancy Mello, Stevens Negus, David Self, David Roberts, Donald Landry, George Koob, Mary Jeanne Kreek, Richard Keller, Edward Sellers, and Jack Henningfield.
