This fascinating book traces the evolution of the "criminal body" by focusing on the work of Cesare Lombroso, an Italian physician and anthropologist, who is widely held to be the father of modern criminology. Building on Lombroso's concept of the "born criminal" and the idea that bodies could be used as evidence in criminal investigations, The Criminal Body offers an intriguing window into the origins of today's criminological science.

The vibrant world of jazz may be viewed from many angles, from social and cultural history to music analysis, from economics to ethnography. It is challenging and exciting territory. This volume of nineteen specially commissioned essays offers informed and accessible guidance to the challenge, taking the reader through a series of five basic subject areas--locating jazz historically and geographically; defining jazz as musical and cultural practice; jazz in performance; the uses of jazz for audiences, markets, education and for other art forms; and the study of jazz.
Ostracod crustaceans, common microfossils in marine and
freshwater sedimentary records, supply evidence of past climatic
conditions via indicator species, transfer function and mutual
climatic range approaches as well as the trace element and stable
isotope geochemistry of their shells. As methods of using ostracods
as Quaternary palaeoclimate proxies have developed, so too has a
critical awareness of their complexities, potential and
limitations. This book combines up-to-date reviews (covering
previous work and summarising the state of the art) with
presentations of new, cutting-edge science (data and
interpretations as well as methodological developments) to form a
major reference work that will constitute a durable bench-mark in
the science of Ostracoda and Quaternary climate change.
In-depth and focused treatment of palaeoclimate
