Holding Our World Together

Ojibwe Women and the Survival of Community

By: Brenda J. Child

A groundbreaking exploration of the remarkable women in Native American communities. Too often ignored or underemphasized in favor of their male warrior counterparts, Native American women have played a more central role in guiding their nations than has ever been understood. Many Native communities were, in fact, organized around women's labor, the sanctity of mothers, and the wisdom of female elders. In this well-researched and deeply felt account of the Ojibwe of Lake Superior and the Mississippi River, Brenda J. Child details the ways in which women have shaped Native American life from the days of early trade with Europeans through the reservation era and beyond. The latest volume in the Penguin Library of American Indian History, Holding Our World Together illuminates the lives of women such as Madeleine Cadotte, who became a powerful mediator between her people and European fur traders, and Gertrude Buckanaga, whose postwar community activism in Minneapolis helped bring many Indian families out of poverty. Drawing on these stories and others, Child offers a powerful tribute to the many courageous women who sustained Native communities through the darkest challenges of the last three centuries.

Criminal Law Reform Now, Volume 2

Proposals and Critique

By: Melissa Bone,J J Child,Jonathan Rogers

If you could change one part of the criminal law, what would it be? Following the success of the 1st volume, the same question is put to a new selection of leading academics and practitioners. The first eight chapters of the collection present their responses in the form of legal reform proposals, with topics ranging across criminal law, criminal justice and evidence including corporate liability, consent to bodily harms, prostitution, domestic abuse, economic crimes, defendant anonymity, appeal court structures and the procedures of the Criminal Cases Review Commission. Each chapter is followed by a comment from a different author, providing an additional expert view on each proposal. Finally, the last two chapters broaden the debate to discuss criminal law reform in general, from the challenges of decriminalisation to exploring the systemic dynamics of centralisation, austerity and politicisation. The collection highlights and explores the current reform debates that matter most to legal experts, with each chapter making a positive case for change.

The Lymphoproliferative Disorders

Handbook of diagnosis, investigation and management

By: J. Child,G. Morgan,A. Jack

This book is a comprehensive but accessible guide to current practice and new developments in the study of lymphoproliferative disorders. The growing understanding of the cellular mechanisms and molecular pathology underlying these conditions is causing a re-evaluation of many of the basic concepts of diagnosis and treatment, leading to a vast proliferation of the primary literature - this book will help the reader to put all these changes into their proper context. The first part begins with a short overview of the normal lymphoid system, and is followed by chapters on the principles and basic techniques of laboratory diagnosis, imaging and therapy. Part Two is a systematic account of the different lymphoproliferative disorders. Each chapter concludes with a section of key reading, which includes a range of review articles and papers discussing areas of current interest. The Lymphoproliferative Disorders will be of interest to those undertaking specialist training in haematology, pathology and oncology, and will also be an invaluable reference for practising clinicians and researchers requiring a concise review of the subject.
