Men & Women in Qing China

Gender in The Red Chamber Dream

By: Louise P. Edwards

New in Paper Men & Women in Qing China is an analysis of Chinese prescriptions of gender as represented in Cao Xueqin's famous eighteenth-century Chinese novel of manners, The Red Chamber Dream, or The Story of the Stone. Drawing on feminist literary critical methods, it examines Qing notions of masculinity and femininity, including themes such as bisexuality, motherhood, virginity and purity, and gender and power. Its central aim is to challenge the common assumption that the novel represents some form of early Chinese feminism by examining the text in conjunction with historical data. The book will be especially important to those interested in issues of gender in China, the history of Chinese literary criticism, and the application of feminist theory to the Asian context.

The Care of Brute Beasts

A Social and Cultural Study of Veterinary Medicine in Early Modern England

By: Louise Hill Curth

This book is about medical beliefs and practices for animals in early modern England. Although there are numerous texts on human health, this is the first to focus exclusively on animals during this period. For most academics, the foundation of the London Veterinary College in 1791 marks the beginning of 'modern' veterinary medicine, with the period before unworthy of serious study. In fact, there is ample evidence of how the importance of animals resulted in a highly complex system of both preventative and remedial care. This book is divided into sections which start by 'setting the scene' with an overview of animals in early modern England and the contemporary principles behind health and illness. It moves onto an examination of the medical marketplace and printed literature on animal health care, followed by an in-depth look at preventative and remedial methods. It ends by addressing the question of what impact, if any, new colleges had on veterinary beliefs and practices.

'A plaine and easie waie to remedie a horse'

Equine Medicine in Early Modern England

By: Louise Hill Curth

A plaine and easie waie to remedie a horse' is the first complete text to focus exclusively on the health and illness of the most important animals in early modern England. It also follows on and further develops the subject of early modern veterinary medicine introduced by Louise Hill Curth in 'The Care of Brute Beasts: a social and cultural study of veterinary medicine in early modern England'. This book is divided into three sections which start by providing an overview of the evolution of English hippiatric medicine from ancient and medieval times into the early modern period. The second section moves on to the structures of practice which include the astrological principles between preventative, remedial and surgical medicine for horses, followed by an in-depth discussion of how such knowledge was disseminated through the oral, manuscript and print culture.

Handbook of Derivatization Reactions for HPLC

By: George Lunn,Louise C. Hellwig

Thousands of derivatization procedures for HPLC and CE-an essential tool for today's analytical chemist. This valuable reference offers fast and convenient access to derivatization reactions for both HPLC and capillary electrophoresis (CE). Covering a wide variety of compounds from pharmaceutical drugs and biological products to industrial contaminants, it is organized first by functional group and then by individual reagents. Techniques for each functional group are described in sufficient detail that the researcher can replicate procedures without reference to the original publications-saving hours of tedious library research. And because detailed procedures for the same reagent are listed together, it is easy to combine features of different methods and tailor them to fit specific individual requirements. Also available on CD-ROM, Handbook of Derivatization Reactions for HPLC contains fully abstracted and evaluated procedures from more than 1,900 papers, with descriptions of hundreds of reagents. A further 3,000 papers are referenced in bibliographies that are clearly annotated to help analysts identify those sources likely to be most useful. This important new resource will be welcomed by chemists working in pharmaceutical, biomedical, and environmental analysis. Also available on CD-ROM System requirements . . . IBM-compatible PC 486 or better and Windows(r) 3.0 or higher, or Macintosh 68030 processor and System 7 or higher * CD-ROM drive and 8 MB RAM minimum * 5 MB free hard disk space minimum, 30 MB recommended for full installation.

Developmental Juvenile Osteology

By: Craig Cunningham,Louise Scheuer,Sue Black

Developmental Juvenile Osteology was created as a core reference text to document the development of the entire human skeleton from early embryonic life to adulthood. In the period since its first publication there has been a resurgence of interest in the developing skeleton, and the second edition of Developmental Juvenile Osteology incorporates much of the key literature that has been published in the intervening time. The main core of the text persists by describing each individual component of the human skeleton from its embryological origin through to its final adult form. This systematic approach has been shown to assist the processes of both identification and age estimation and acts as a core source for the basic understanding of normal human skeletal development. In addition to this core, new sections have been added where there have been significant advances in the field. - Identifies every component of the juvenile skeleton, by providing a detailed analysis of development and ageing and a detailed description of each bone in four ways: adult bone, early development, ossification and practical notes - New chapters and updated sections covering the dentition, age estimation in the living and bone histology - An updated bibliography documenting the research literature that has contributed to the field over the past15 years since the publication of the first edition - Heavily illustrated, including new additions
