Clinical Pocket Reference Nursing Care of Children and Young People
is a single user friendly access point (print or ePub) for a wide
range of key information that children's nurses/nurses caring for
children may need at any time. It provides essential clinical
information in one portable file to enable the nurse rapidly to
absorb or refresh knowledge. This resource complements larger
texts, multiple websites, and institutional protocols. Prepared by
the children's nursing team at two distinguished UK centres, this
resource will be of use to children's nurses in training,
experienced practitioners, and HCPs in complementary areas. The
content has been developed in line with the new NMC Education
guidelines which come into effect in 2019. Support for healthcare
staff working with children in practice is an ongoing issue. This
compact, portable resource will fill this need in acute hospitals
and the community. Compiled by lecturers and nurses, this is a
resource that every children's nursing student and practitioner
should have with them at all times.
Byzantinists entered the study of emotion with Henry Maguire's
ground-breaking article on sorrow, published in 1977. Since then,
classicists and western medievalists have developed new ways of
understanding how emotional communities work and where the
ancients' concepts of emotion differ from our own, and Byzantinists
have begun to consider emotions other than sorrow. It is time to
look at what is distinctive about Byzantine emotion. This volume is
the first to look at the constellation of Byzantine emotions.
Originating at an international colloquium at Dumbarton Oaks, these
papers address issues such as power, gender, rhetoric, or
asceticism in Byzantine society through the lens of a single
emotion or cluster of emotions. Contributors focus not only on the
construction of emotions with respect to perception and cognition
but also explore how emotions were communicated and exchanged
across broad (multi)linguistic, political and social boundaries.
Priorities are twofold: to arrive at an understanding of what the
Byzantines thought of as emotions and to comprehend how theory
shaped their appraisal of reality. Managing Emotion in Byzantium
will appeal to researchers and students alike interested in
Byzantine perceptions of emotion, Byzantine Culture, and medieval
perceptions of emotion.

will immerse themselves in making a rocket ship and watching it
blast off! Children will be captivated as they learn about science
and the role it plays in their everyday lives.
This book provides an introduction to basic concepts in the design
of safe laboratories. Many of the chapters in this volume are based
on papers presented in a symposium sponsored by the American
Chemical Society's Committee on Chemical Safety and the Division of
Chemical Health and Safety. Topics covered within the book include
different perspectives on the design of safe laboratories, generic
issues affecting the design of safe laboratories, ventilation and
fume hoods, putting laboratory design and safety principles into
practice, and working together to design safe laboratories. This
publication is intended for individuals and businesses interested
in incorporating safety design into laboratory construction and
remodeling projects.

Sex is a difficult issue for contemporary Christians, but the past
decade has witnessed a newfound openness regarding the topic among
Eastern Orthodox Christians. Both the theological trajectory and
the historical circumstances of the Orthodox Church differ
radically from those of other Christian denominations that have
already developed robust and creative reflections on sexuality and
sexual diversity. Within its unique history, theology, and
tradition, Orthodox Christianity holds rich resources for engaging
challenging questions of sexuality in new and responsive ways. What
is at stake in questions of sexuality in the Orthodox tradition?
What sources and theological convictions can uniquely shape
Orthodox understandings of sexuality? This volume aims to create an
agora for discussing sex, and not least the sexualities that are
often thought of as untraditional in Orthodox contexts. Through
fifteen distinct chapters, written by leading scholars and
theologians, this book offers a developed treatment of sexuality in
the Orthodox Christian world by approaching the subject from
scriptural, patristic, theological, historical, and sociological
perspectives. Chapters devoted to practical and pastoral insights,
as well as reflections on specific cultural contexts, engage the
human realities of sexual diversity and Christian life. From
re-thinking scripture to developing theologies of sex, from
eschatological views of eros to re-evaluations of the Orthodox
responses to science, this book offers new thinking on pressing,
present-day issues and initiates conversations about homosexuality
and sexual diversity within Orthodox Christianity.
This collection of 83 articles on the history of astronomy is the
harvest of a quarter of a century spent in seeking out intriguing,
unusual and half-forgotten events. Joe Ashbrook wrote a column
regularly for the monthly magazine Sky and Telescope. Professor
Owen Gingerich, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics,
has helped in the selection of the very best of these timeless
vignettes, and he has contributed a foreword to the collection.
Each article has been edited, and in some cases modified, to take
account of any subsequent discoveries. Articles are grouped into
themes covering biography, telescopes, the solar systems, stars and
galaxies, and star atlases. Much of the material cannot be found in
standard references in the history of astronomy.
This new imprint is established to publish in paperback for an
individual readership the Press's most outstanding original
monographs. These are titles that would normally appear only in
hardback editions for specialists, but whose quality and general
academic importance justify their special promotion in this
prestige imprint. The series will include both new and recent
titles drawn from the whole range of the Press's very substantial
publishing programs in the humanities and social sciences, and
therefore represents some of the best current scholarship in the
English language.

This book is written primarily for the family to help solve the
meat problem and to augment the food supply. Producing and
preserving meats for family meals are sound practices for farm
families and some city folks as well-they make possible a wider
variety of meats, which can be of the best quality, at less cost.
Meat is an essential part of the American diet. It is also an ex
pensive food. With the costs high, many persons cannot afford to
buy the better cuts; others are being forced to restrict the meat
portion of the diet to a minimum, or to use ineffectual
substitutes. Commercially in the United States, meat means the
flesh of cattle, hogs, and sheep, except where used with a
qualifying word such as reindeer meat, crab meat, whale meat, and
so on. Meat in this book is used in a broader sense, although not
quite so general as to com prise anything and everything eaten for
nourishment either by man or beast. To be sure, it includes the
flesh of domestic animals and large and small game animals as well;
also poultry, domestic fowl raised for their meat and eggs, and
game birds, all wild upland birds, shore birds, and waterfowl; and
fish."
