Powerfully sensual and sublimely stylish, Mrs S is a tale of queer
love that smoulders with the heat of summer. In an elite English
boarding school where the girls kiss the marble statue of the
famous dead author who used to walk the halls, a young Australian
woman arrives to take up the antiquated role of 'matron'. Within
this landscape of immense privilege, in which the girls can sense
the slightest weakness in those around them, she finds herself
unsure of her role, her accent and her body. That is until she
meets Mrs S, the headmaster's wife, a woman who is her polar
opposite: assured, sophisticated, a paragon of femininity. Over the
course of a long, restless heatwave, the matron finds herself
irresistibly drawn ever closer into Mrs S's world and their
unspoken desire blooms into an illicit affair of electric
intensity. But, as the summer begins to fade, both women know that
a choice must be made. K Patrick's portrait of the butch experience
is revelatory; exploring the contested terrain of our bodies, our
desires and the constraints society places around both. Mrs S marks
the arrival of a major new literary talent, unlike any other.
Expert clinicians comprehensively review the endocrine and
metabolic responses to critical illness, explore the mechanisms and
outcomes (positive and negative) of those responses to severe
stress, and consider possible endocrine interactions that are not
yet fully defined. The contributors explain in detail the endocrine
response to a multitude of critical illnesses, including cancer,
liver failure, renal failure, trauma, burns, AIDS and other
infections, starvation, cardiac disease, pulmonary disease, and
organ transplants. The book offers significant basic knowledge of
high clinical relevance by collating and defining the numerous
interactions of the endocrine system and critical disease states,
by discussing the basic pathophysiological processes involved, and
by reviewing the clinical relevance of such responses.

Since its invention by Renaissance humanists, the myth of the
"Middle Ages" has held a uniquely important place in the Western
historical imagination. Whether envisioned as an era of lost
simplicity or a barbaric nightmare, the medieval past has always
served as a mirror for modernity. This book gives an eye-opening
account of the ways various political and intellectual
projects-from nationalism to the discipline of anthropology-have
appropriated the Middle Ages for their own ends. Deploying an
interdisciplinary toolkit, author K. Patrick Fazioli grounds his
analysis in contemporary struggles over power and identity in the
Eastern Alps, while also considering the broader implications for
scholarly research and public memory.
