Mass claims have historically allowed victims of wrongdoing on an
extensive scale to be compensated for losses suffered. This
insightful book surveys and evaluates both domestic and
international mass claims processes, delineating their successes
and failures in providing this compensation. Through an in-depth
examination of the efficacy and efficiency of mass claims
processes, Jason Scott Palmer analyses the actors involved and
their roles, such as those who provide reparations and why these
reparations are provided. Palmer carefully considers the utility of
potential future mass claims reparations regimes through the use of
hypothetical mass claims property losses, based on highly relevant
case studies such as the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. He
emphasizes that, to fully understand mass claims reparations
programs, one must inspect the complete process of reparations
funding and distribution. Academics researching domestic and
international mass claims processes will find the historical
analysis within this book to be essential. Due to its practical
implications, practitioners engaged in litigating or designing mass
claims processes will additionally benefit from its scope.
A vast number of children in the United States are evaluated and
treated for urologic conditions by urologists practicing general
urology due to the relatively few fellowship-trained pediatric
urologists. Pediatric Urology: A General Urologist's Guide is
written specifically for general urologists as a concise and
comprehensive reference of the more common pediatric urologic
conditions. Other health practitioners (i.e. pediatrician, family
practitioner, residents, medical students, and mid-level providers)
will also find this book a key reference. Written by well-respected
pediatric urologists, this volume will assist the health care
provider to rapidly review the essential aspects of the physical
examination, evaluation, diagnostic testing, and management while
the patient is still in the office. The chapters are arranged into
four sections to allow for easier access to the information: office
urology, genitalia, urinary tract, and miscellaneous topics.
Furthermore, the first chapter of the book will be dedicated to
facts and figures (ex. normal penile and renal lengths based on
age, dosing of common medications, and grading system for
vesicoureteral reflux) that serves as a single source for this
information. Pediatric Urology: A General Urologist's Guide offers
the reader the essential information to assist them in the care of
children.

The Cotswold Water Park Project is a landscape study centred upon
parts of the Upper Thames Valley within what is now the Cotswold
Water Park. The report is based upon four key excavated rural
settlements, the most extensive being that at Claydon Pike, which
dated primarily from the middle Iron Age to the late Roman period.
A number of middle Saxon burials were also found. The other Water
Park settlements dated to the late Iron Age-Roman period and the
2nd to 3rd century AD. The report has incorporated the results of
these excavations into a wider synthesis of landscape development
in the region, including aspects of material culture, environment
and the economy. With CD-Rom.
This book is for the student in the introductory course on deviant
be havior and in related courses. A wide range of ideas and facts
is set forth in a way that should be comprehensible to the student
without prior knowledge of this area of study. In Chapter 1, "The
Nature of Deviance," various ways of defining deviance are explored
and one is settled upon: Deviance is behavior that is unusual, not
typical, in a society or group. Chapter 2 is devoted to a
preliminary consideration of several main currents of social
thought that seek to explain why deviance comes about and is
perpetrated. These explanations fall into four broad theo retical
categories. First, there are those theories that view the major
sources of deviance as having to do with the extent to which
individ uals are bound into or dissociated from the group; these
are termed social integration theories. Second, there are the
cultural support the ories, which specify that there are
subcultures of deviance, that is, bod ies of customs and values
that advocate a given form of deviance and are socially transmitted
from one person to another through the learn ing process. Third,
there are social disorganization and conflict theo ries, which
focus on the ways in which a lack of group organization and the
presence of broad social and cultural conflicts bring about de
viance."

For over 500 years, from the middle Iron Age to the early Roman
period, the 1st gravel terrace of the river Thames at Thornhill
Farm appears to have been lived in and worked as a cattle ranch.
Extensive excavations by Oxford Archaeology between 1986 and 1989
revealed large parts of the settlement, including paddocks, stock
enclosures and droveways, all designed to control and manage the
herds of animals. Evidence for domestic houses points to small
family groups living at the site and tending to the livestock. The
surrounding gravel terraces and floodplain would have formed open
pastureland, upon which lay a number of other settlements, some of
which were also operating specialist pastoral economies. The
settlement at Thornhill Farm was constantly being developed and
remodelled until the early 2nd century AD, when it was replaced by
a series of trackways and some of the earliest hay meadows in
Britain. What happened to the inhabitants of Thornhill Farm at this
time is unknown, but it seems likely that the whole settlement was
subsumed into a larger agricultural estate based at neighbouring
Claydon Pike. The excavations at Thornhill Farm formed part of a
co-ordinated archaeological response to the threat posed by gravel
extraction during the creation of the Cotswold Water Park. This
book presents the results of this phase of work, and discusses the
significance of the site within the local and regional landscape.
Robotic technology has paved the way for new opportunities in
pediatric urologic surgery. Where once laparoscopy was restricted
to urological conditions in children such as undescended testicles
and ambiguous genitalia, robotic techniques are now enabling the
completion of greatly needed, more involved procedures. Written by
highly respected surgeons, Pediatric Robotic Urology provides a
state-of-the-art, comprehensive overview of the precise surgical
techniques that are changing the practice of pediatric urologic
surgery. Divided in two sections and covering both introductory
topics and advanced surgical techniques, Pediatric Robotic Urology
also includes myriad illustrations and photographs of
intraoperative procedures. Developed for accessible reading, this
invaluable title is a concise, yet broad reference that is certain
to be of significant value to urologists, surgeons, and all health
care providers who care for pediatric urologic patients.
The early seventeenth-century traveler Thomas Coryate's five-month
tour of Western Europe culminated in Coryats Crudities, one of the
strangest travelogues published in early modern England. A
charismatic raconteur, Coryate blends his detailed ""observations""
of churches, palaces, and local customs (including the firstaccount
of forks in English) with lengthy historical digressions and lively
accounts of personal misadventure. Coryate, who had strong
connections to the political, legal, and literary circles of early
modern England, became a figure well known for his eccentricity and
odd style, though he was also respected for his antiquarian
scholarship and facility with foreign languages. Now, he is
remembered as one of the most unique travel-writing voices ever
known in English letters. This edition abridges Crudities' more
than 900 pages to a manageable size, focusing on episodes most
likely to be of interest to students - such as Coryat's
descriptions of Venetian mountebanks, courtesans, and Jews; his
crossing of the Alps; and his attendance at a Corpus Christi
celebration in Paris. An engaging introduction situates the book in
the context of Coryat's fascinating life, and the text is helpfully
annotated throughout. The selection of contextual materials
includes illustrations from the first edition, along with a
sampling from another eccentric feature of the Crudities: a
collection of mock commendatory poems making fun of Coryate and his
journey, contributed by dozens of noblemen and literati (including
the poets Ben Jonson and John Donne). Coryate, who was in on the
joke, carefully curated the comic persona emerging from these
verses, making creative use of media culture to gain personal
celebrity.
