Sensory Anthropology

Culture and Experience in Asia

By: Kelvin E. Y. Low

From constructions of rasa (taste) in pre-colonial India and Indonesia, children and sensory discipline within the monastic orders of the Edo period of Japan, to sound expressives among the Semai in Peninsular Malaysia, the sensory soteriology of Tibetan Buddhism, and sensory warscapes of WWII, this book analyses how sensory cultures in Asia frame social order and disorder. Illustrated with a wide range of fascinating examples, it explores key anthropological themes, such as culture and language, food and foodways, morality, transnationalism and violence, and provides granular analyses on sensory relations, sensory pairings, and intersensoriality. By offering rich ethnographic perspectives on inter- and intra-regional sense relations, the book engages with a variety of sensory models, and moves beyond narrower sensory regimes bounded by group, nation or temporality. A pioneering exploration of the senses in and out of Asia, it is essential reading for academic researchers and students in social and cultural anthropology.

This Isn't A Textbook

By: Kelvin Giles

This book takes a personal look at aspects of sport and life from the perspective of Kelvin Giles, a teacher, coach and parent. Kelvin's working life has seen him work with Olympic athletes over 6 Olympic cycles; championship winning Rugby League teams and as a manager in elite High Performance Institutes. The anecdotes and commentary from the 40+ year adventure he has undertaken is presented here in a series of quick-fi re statements and observations. Some text is taken directly from communications with organisations, colleagues, athletes and friends. Other comments are from people admired and followed by the author and presented as their quotes. There are educational passages coupled with more irreverent dialogue centred on some of today's critical questions in our culture.

Essential Tremor in Clinical Practice

By: Abdul Qayyum Rana,Kelvin L. Chou

This practical, concise guide discusses how to distinguish different types of tremor and make the diagnosis of essential tremor. Written in an easy-to-read format, this book summarises other conditions that may be confused with essential tremor and details all current treatment options for this condition, including medications, surgery and non-invasive alternatives. Examination techniques for patients with a tremor complaint are described, some of which may be novel to the general practitioner, and case studies full of diagnostic and examination pearls are provided. Essential Tremor in Clinical Practice is an updated version of Abdul Qayyum Rana’s previous book, An Introduction to Essential Tremor. Busy clinicians, including internists, general and family practitioners, and geriatricians will benefit from this short yet comprehensive, clinically focussed volume.
