A Place in History is a cultural study of Tel Aviv, Israel's
population center, established in 1909. It describes how a largely
European Jewish immigrant society attempted to forge a home in the
Mediterranean, and explores the role of memory and diaspora in the
creation of a new national culture. Each chapter is devoted to a
particular place in the city that has been central to its history,
and includes literary, artistic, journalistic, and photographic
material relating to that site. This is the first book-length study
of Tel Aviv in English. It will appeal to readers interested in
urban cultures, the contemporary Middle East, modern Jewish
history, and Israeli literature. It also contributes to the ongoing
public debate about memory, memorials and urban identity.
Immersive Scholar: A Guidebook for Documenting and Publishing
Experiential Scholarship Works offers a model for librarians,
technologists, and scholars collaborating on the production of new
forms of scholarly projects, particularly those designed for large
scale or immersive spaces. Born from Immersive Scholar, a
three-year grant to the NC State University Libraries from the
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the case studies and principles laid
out in this guidebook highlight pragmatic and non-technical
opportunities for integrating experiential scholarship within the
current scholarly ecosystem. Borrowing from the literature and
ideas of digital humanities, open science, software preservation,
and academic publishing, the authors present a perspective balanced
between theory and application. This guidebook paired with other
resources from Immersive Scholar forms the foundation of a toolkit
for the conceptualization, building, displaying, and sharing of
scholarship in the broad and varied world of large scale, visual,
immersive, and experimental work.
A history of modern Jewish literature that explores our enduring
attachment to the book as an object With the rise of digital media,
the "death of the book” has been widely discussed. But the
physical object of the book persists. Here, through the lens of
materiality and objects, Barbara E. Mann tells a history of modern
Jewish literature, from novels and poetry to graphic novels and
artists’ books. Bringing contemporary work on secularism and
design in conversation with literary history, she offers a new and
distinctive frame for understanding how literary genres emerge. The
long twentieth century, a period of tremendous physical upheaval
and geographic movement, witnessed the production of a multilingual
canon of writing by Jewish authors. Literature’s objecthood is
felt not only in the physical qualities of books—bindings,
covers, typography, illustrations—but also through the ways in
which materiality itself became a practical foundation for literary
expression.
Assessement and management of pain is an integral aspect of patient
care for nurses working in all health care settings. Pain
management is a practical guide to current best practice, providing
students and newly qualified nurses with the knowledge and skills
required to care for a person experiencing or at risk of
experiencing pain.
Pain Management explores pain assessment, evaluation and
therapeutic management and challenges nurses to reflect upon their
practice in order to update and improve their clinical practice. It
adopts a chronological approach, exploring the essential clinical
skills required to effectively manage pain in all ages from the
neonate to the older person. Case studies, algorithms and evidence
encourage implementation of best practice throughout the book.

Elections are the cornerstone of democratic government, yet among
scholars several major issues remain unresolved in the study of
voting choice. Incorporating work by a host of international
scholars, Elections at Home and Abroad addresses a number of these
issues to expand the frontiers of voting studies. The contributors
to this volume take as their point of departure the breadth of work
done by Warren E. Miller, a key player in the development of
scientific voting studies in the United States and Europe. They
examine such issues as party partisanship, divided government,
voting contexts, theories of voting, and relationships between
political elites and mass publics. Reflecting Miller's own view,
the volume includes much work on cross-national studies. For
comparativists and Americans, Elections at Home and Abroad speaks
to anyone engaged in questions of voting behavior, public opinion,
and political parties.
