The Social Work Business

The Social Work Business

By: John Harris

Social work has become a business. The traditional distinction drawn between social work as a non-commercial activity in the public and voluntary sectors of the welfare state and private commercial activities driven by the market's profit motive has largely disappeared. In The Social Work Business John Harris addresses the introduction and consolidation of business thinking and ways of operating in social work and considers the consequences for service users, carers, voluntary organisations and social workers. The book traces the development of the social work business from its establishment under Thatcherism to its modernisation under New Labour. It looks in detail at the use of capitalist sector methods - the heightened use of surveillance, the increase in managerial control, changes in work practices - and how this is being reflected in social work education. The Social Work Business provides a radical reappraisal of the far-reaching changes the profession has undergone. The sources of uneasiness experienced by many social workers, faced with a transformation in the organisational culture in which they work, are thrown into sharp relief and opened up for debate.

Perspectives on Vasopressin

Perspectives on Vasopressin

By: John F. Laycock

Vasopressin is a hormone which has an increasingly important profile. Not only does it play a physiologically significant role in renal water regulation but it also has other renal actions and plays a role in overall cardiovascular control. Even more interesting is the recent growing interest in its potential effects on the brain, notably its influence on specific behaviours. This monograph about the polypeptide vasopressin covers all aspects relating to the production, control of release, and actions of this molecule within the body, including its roles as a hormone and as a central neurotransmitter. A consideration of the evolution of the molecule across the species and a brief historical perspective are also included. Clinical conditions associated with hypo- and hyper-production states are considered together with aspects of treatment, in addition to other clinical correlates. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Introduction to Vasopressin (204 KB). Contents: Introduction to Vasopressin; Comparative and Evolutionary Aspects of Vasopressin; The Neurohypophysial System: Synthesis and Metabolism of Vasopressin; Vasopressin Receptors, the Signalling Cascade and Mechanisms of Action; Pharmacology of the Vasopressin Receptors; Vasopressin and Its Renal Effects; Vasopressin and the Cardiovascular System; Vasopressin and Its Interactions with Other Hormones and Control Systems; Understanding the Role of Vasopressin in the Hypothalamo-Pituitary Adrenocortical Axis; Vasopressin: The Central Systems; Vasopressin Secretion: Mechanisms of Control of Secretion from the Posterior Pituitary Gland; Clinical Aspects of Vasopressin. Readership: Academics, researchers, and postgraduates in the field of endocrinology.

Electrotherapy Explained E-Book

By: Val Robertson,Alex Ward,John Low,Ann Reed

Electrotherapy Explained is an excellent research-based exploration of the major types of electrophysical agents used in clinical practice, particularly human and also animal. For the fourth edition, two new authors join the writing team, presenting the latest information for today's clinicians. The text has been completely updated with a major rewrite of the material, particularly that on electrical stimulation. This book continues to focus on evidence: clinical and biophysical evidence that affects how and which electrotherapies may be of use clinically and when. The inclusion of biophysics as well as clinical evidence and principles of application, enables clinicians to move away from traditional 'recipe-based' approaches and rely more on their own clinical reasoning. The focus remains on humans but the relevance of the principles for using and applying different modalities is explained clearly, providing guidelines for clinicians across disciplines and specialties. - Up to date research detailing the evidence both supportive and deprecatory for the use of each modality - Written by experts from biophysics and the clinical domains - Comprehensive and well referenced - Clear and well chosen illustrations elucidate the text - Text boxes and summary sections help to break down what is sometimes a complex subject into manageable and memorable chunks - Contraindications and risks have been updated in light of the most recent research - Three books for the price of one - the website (http://booksite.elsevier.com/9780750688437) contains the entire texts of 'Physical Principles Explained' by Low and Reed, and 'Biophysical Bases of Electrotherapy' by Ward. The text directs readers to the website for further reading at relevant points

Labour, Mobility and Temporary Migration

A Comparative Study of Polish Migration to Wales

By: Julie Knight,John Lever,Andrew Thompson

Labour, Mobility and Temporary Migration delves into sociological research on Polish migrants who migrated to the lesser-explored South Wales region after Poland joined the European Union in 2004. At the time of enlargement, Polish migrants were characterised as being economically motivated, short-term migrants who would enter the UK for work purposes, save money and return home. However, over ten years after enlargement, this initial characterisation has been challenged with many of the once considered ‘short-term’ Poles remaining in the UK. In the case of Wales, the long-term impact of this migration is only starting to be fully realised, particularly in consideration of the different spatial areas – urban, semi-urban and rural – explored in this book. Such impact is occurring in the post-Brexit referendum period, a time when the UK’s position in the EU is itself complex and changing.

Victory without Triumph

The Wilderness May 6th & 7th, 1864

By: John Michael Priest

In Victory Without Triumph: The Wilderness May 6th & 7th, 1864, John Priest meticulously details the vicious infantry fighting along the Plank Road, Longstreet's counterstrike against the II Corps, the cavalry operations of both armies near Todd's Tavern, and John B. Gordon's daring assault against the Army of the Potomac's right flank. Embellished with 38 detailed, two-color maps, Victory Without Triumph enables the reader to follow the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia through the last two days of the campaign which signaled the advent of Ulysses S. Grant into the Eastern theater of the war. John Priest has turned meticulous research into a gripping story that engages the reader from the very first page. No civil war studies collection can be considered complete without the acquisition of Victory Without Triumph.
