There has been considerable controversy and debate in South Africa
(and elsewhere) in recent years over an apparent crisis of the
family, including appeals for a return to "traditional" family
values. To promote a better understanding of this supposed crisis,
Family Matters draws on public opinion data to explore the diverse
realities of contemporary family life in South Africa and support
appropriate policy responses.
The consequences of changing comparative advantage are transforming
the economic landscapes of nations and regions around the globe.
This book deals with the most significant economic factors in the
rapidly changing Pacific Basin area. Part 1 considers the area's
changing patterns of industrial development and trade and examines
the general implications of such changes for national industrial
development policies. Part 2 consists of a set of case studies of
national industrial policies in the context of factors affecting
industrial structures; how applicable these policies are to other
countries in the region is a central theme. Part 3 addresses the
specific issues of foreign investment and domestic labor in
relation to economic growth and industrial development in the
Pacific Basin. Finally, in Part 4 institutional arrangements are
suggested that would facilitate economic growth while, at the same
time, mitigating the serious negative consequences of changing
economic advantage. Such negative consequences are to some extent
pervasive and can destabilize social and political development and
endanger formal and informal alliances; nevertheless, the segment
of humanity that has adequate food, clothing, and shelter is being
permanently widened in the Pacific Basin.

The sport of soccer has evolved immensely since its beginning
around 2,000 years ago and is now considered the most popular sport
in the world. The research related to the physical, psychological,
and tactical aspects of the game has risen in conjunction with its
fame. Elite Soccer Players: Maximizing Performance and Safety seeks
to inform the reader with the most current research connected to
optimizing physical performance and reducing the risk of injury of
the elite soccer athlete for a variety of ages. After providing an
initial brief overview of applying physical and psychological
scientific concepts in soccer ("Part I: Laying the Foundation"),
this book then takes the reader through a series of important yet
novel parts including: "Athlete Monitoring and Data Analysis,"
"Optimizing Physical Performance," "Injury Epidemiology and Risk
Reduction," "Achieving Peak Performance and Safety in Various
Environmental Conditions," and "Unique Aspects of the Game." The
goal of Elite Soccer Players: Maximizing Performance and Safety is
to conceptualize and expand upon the current research associated
with these topics and provide an applicable point of view to the
coaches, sport scientists, strength and conditioning coaches, and
sports medicine professionals who work with these athletes every
day.
This ambitious and engaging new account of independent India's
struggle to overcome famine and malnutrition in the twentieth
century traces Indian nation-building through the voices of
politicians, planners, and citizens. Siegel explains the historical
origins of contemporary India's hunger and malnutrition epidemic,
showing how food and sustenance moved to the center of nationalist
thought in the final years of colonial rule. Independent India's
politicians made promises of sustenance and then qualified them by
asking citizens to share the burden of feeding a new and hungry
state. Foregrounding debates over land, markets, and new
technologies, Hungry Nation interrogates how citizens and
politicians contested the meanings of nation-building and
citizenship through food, and how these contestations receded in
the wake of the Green Revolution. Drawing upon meticulous archival
research, this is the story of how Indians challenged meanings of
welfare and citizenship across class, caste, region, and gender in
a new nation-state.
The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 Personality Disorders
(SCID-5-PD) is a semistructured diagnostic interview for clinicians
and researchers to assess the 10 DSM-5 Personality Disorders across
Clusters A, B, and C as well as Other Specified Personality
Disorder. Designed to build rapport, the SCID-5-PD can be used to
make personality disorder diagnoses, either categorically (present
or absent) or dimensionally. The SCID-5-PD includes interview and
the handy self-report screening questionnaire for patients or
subjects, the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 Screening
Personality Questionnaire (SCID-5-SPQ). The SCID-5-PD is the
updated version of the former Structured Clinical Interview for
DSM-IV Axis II Personality Disorders (SCID-II). The SCID-5-PD name
reflects the elimination of the multiaxial system in DSM-5.
Although the DSM-IV Personality Disorder criteria are unchanged in
DSM-5, the SCID-5-PD interview questions have been thoroughly
reviewed and revised to optimally capture the construct embodied in
the diagnostic criteria. In addition, a dimensional scoring
component has been added to the SCID-5-PD. The basic structure of
the SCID-5-PD is similar to the other SCID-5 interviews (such as
the Research Version, SCID-5-RV; and the Clinician Version,
SCID-5-CV) that cover non-personality DSM-5 disorders. Features
include the following: * Questions assessing the DSM-5 criteria for
each of the 10 personality disorders: Avoidant Personality
Disorder, Dependent Personality Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive
Personality Disorder, Paranoid Personality Disorder, Schizotypal
Personality Disorder, Schizoid Personality Disorder, Histrionic
Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Borderline
Personality Disorder, and Antisocial Personality Disorder.* An
optional SCID-5-SPQ that serves as a brief, 20-minute self-report
screening tool to reduce the time of the SCID-5-PD clinical
interview. The SCID-5-SPQ requires an eighth grade or higher
reading level (as determined by the Flesch-Kincaid formula). Its
106 questions correspond directly to each first question in the
full SCID-5-PD. The SCID-5-PD can be used in various types of
research studies, just as the SCID-II. It has been used to
investigate patterns of Personality Disorders co-occurring with
other mental disorders or medical conditions; select a group of
study subjects with a particular Personality Disorder; investigate
the underlying structure of personality pathology; and compare with
other assessment methods for Personality Disorders. The SCID-5-PD
will serve as a valuable resource to help clinicians and
researchers more accurately diagnose Personality Disorders.
Before the painter Benjamin Robert Haydon (1786-1846) committed
suicide, he had left instructions that an account of his life
should be published, using his autobiography up to 1820 and his
letters and journals for the rest. The writer and dramatist Tom
Taylor (1817-80) took on the editing, and the three-volume work was
published in 1853. (The slightly enlarged second edition, also of
1853, is reissued here.) Haydon was a history painter at a time
when that genre was perceived as the greatest form of the art, and
his friends included Wordsworth, Keats, Shelley, Charles Lamb,
Hazlitt and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. However, he was constantly
in financial difficulties, and in later life a sense of failure
seems to have turned into outright paranoia. Volume 1 reproduces
Haydon's autobiographical writings up to 1820. His Conversations
and Table-Talk, edited in two volumes by his son, is also reissued
in this series.

Artist, diarist, and devotee of the Elgin Marbles, Benjamin Robert
Haydon (1786-1846) is best known for his large-scale paintings,
such as Christ's Entry into Jerusalem and The Raising of Lazarus.
After he entered the Royal Academy in 1805 as a student of Henry
Fuseli, his forthright views and combative manner fuelled a feud
with the institution and perceived enemies. His unshakeable belief
in his own genius and his unwillingness to compromise his artistic
standards drew him ever further into debt, which ultimately
contributed to his suicide. As a writer, Haydon's acute eye for the
humorous is demonstrated throughout his correspondence and diary.
In this two-volume work, first published in 1876, his son Frederick
Wordsworth Haydon (1827-86) brings together letters and extracts
from his father's journals. Volume 2 contains selected letters,
including those to and from Keats and Wordsworth, along with a host
of witty and erudite journal extracts.

Binge drinking and illicit sex were just as common in the Dutch
Golden Age as they are today, if not more so. Sex, Drugs and Rock
'n' Roll in the Dutch Golden Age is a compelling narrative about
the generation of young men that came of age in the Dutch Republic
during the economic boom of the early seventeenth century. Contrary
to their parents' wishes, the younger generation grew up in luxury
and wore extravagant clothing, grew their hair long, and squandered
their time drinking and smoking. They created a new youth culture
with many excesses; one that we today associate with the
counterculture generation of the 1960s. With his engaging
storytelling style and humorous anecdotes, Roberts convincingly
reveals that deviant male youth behavior is common to all times,
especially periods when youngsters have too much money and too much
free time on their hands.
Bottled tells the story of English football's complicated
relationship with booze through the experiences of the players who
found themselves in crisis when they could no longer put it down -
from George Best and Paul Gascoigne to Tony Adams and Paul Merson,
as well as many others who escaped the headlines. Footballers play
under intense pressure in the unforgiving glare of the media
spotlight. But what do their stories tell us about ourselves? Are
some challenges they face specific to a player's lifestyle? With
insights from those at the sharp end, here is an examination of
footballers in need and the help available from the industry.
Untangling the complex web of links between alcohol and the
beautiful game, Bottled explores the stories that characterised the
origins of many of England's clubs, as churches and breweries vied
for the souls of young men. From trashed hotel rooms to the rooms
of Alcoholics Anonymous via the China Jump club, Bottled navigates
the journey from the stars to the gutter and, sometimes, back
again.
