Courtesans - women who achieve wealth, status, or power through
sexual transgression - have played both a central and contradictory
role in literature: they have been admired, celebrated, feared, and
vilified. This study of the courtesan in Renaissance English drama
focuses not only on the moral ambivalence of these women, but with
special attention to Anglo-Italian relations, illuminates little
known aspects of their lives. It traces the courtesan from a wry
comedic character in the plays of Terence and Plautus to its
literary exhaustion in the seventeenth-century dramatic works of
Dekker, Marston, Webster, Middleton, Shirley and Brome. The author
focuses especially on the presentation of the courtesan in the
sixteenth century - dramas by Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Lyly view
the courtesan as a symbol of social disease and decay, transforming
classical conventions into English prejudices. Renaissance
Anglo-Italian cultural and sexual relations are also investigated
through comparisons of travel narratives, original source
materials, and analysis of Aretino's representations of celebrated
Italian courtesans. Amid these fascinating tales of aspiration,
desire and despair lingers the intriguing question of who was the
'dark lady' of Shakespeare's sonnets.
Reading Photographs is a clear and inspiring introduction to
theories of representation and visual analysis and how they can be
applied to photography. Introducing the development of photography
and different approaches to reading images, the book looks at
elements such as identity, gaze, psychoanalysis, voyeurism and
aesthetics.Striking visual examples are used to illustrate the text
and engaging case studies delve deeper into issues raised within
each chapter, with brief activity points to allow the reader to
apply relevant theories to their own practice.

This thoroughgoing study examines the doctrine of
transubstantiation from historical, theological, and ecumenical
vantage points. Brett Salkeld explores eucharistic presence in the
theologies of Aquinas, Luther, and Calvin, showing that Christians
might have more in common on this topic than they have typically
been led to believe. As Salkeld corrects false understandings of
the theology of transubstantiation, he shows that Luther and Calvin
were much closer to the medieval Catholic tradition than is often
acknowledged. The book includes a foreword by Michael Root.

Music therapists are trained to use their first study instrument in
clinical practice, yet existing literature focuses almost
exclusively on the use of piano, basic percussion and voice. This
illuminating book brings together international music therapists
who use a diverse range of musical instruments in their clinical
work: the clarinet, the piano accordion, the flute, the cello, the
trumpet and flugelhorn, the bassoon, the violin, the viola, the
harp, the guitar, lower brass instruments (the trombone and the
euphonium), the oboe, the saxophone and bass instruments (double
bass and bass guitar). Each therapist reflects on their
relationship with their instrument and the ways in which they use
it in therapeutic settings, discussing its advantages and
disadvantages in a variety of clinical populations: children and
adolescents, adults with learning disabilities, adults with mental
health problems and older people. This will be essential reading
for any music therapist or student music therapist who uses or is
interested in using a musical instrument in their work, and will be
of interest to other caring and healthcare professionals, teachers,
musicians and carers wanting to learn more about instrumental music
therapy.
One of the earliest domestic tragedies, Arden of Faversham is a
powerful Elizabethan drama based on the real-life murder of Thomas
Arden. This Critical Reader presents the first collection of essays
specifically focused upon Arden of Faversham. It highlights the way
in which this important play from the early 1590s stands at several
different critical intersections. Focused research chapters propose
new directions for exploring the play in the light of ecocriticism,
genre studies, critical race studies and narratives of
dispossession. It also looks forward to Arden of Faversham's role
and status in a less author-centred critical climate. Chapters
explore how this anonymous and canonically marginal play has been
approached in the past by scholars and theatre-makers and the
frameworks that have offered productive insight into its unique
features. The volume includes chapters covering a wide range of
critical discourses and resources available for its study, as well
as offering practical approaches to the play in the classroom.

A monumental book - I defy anyone to read it and remain unmoved. -
Stephen Venables, Alpine Journal. Acclaimed as one of the most
powerful accounts of mountain adventure and tragedy ever written,
The Endless Knot is a harrowing account of the 1986 K2 disaster. A
rare first-hand account from a survivor at the very epicentre of
the drama, The Endless Knot describes the disaster in frank detail.
Kurt Diemberger's account of the final days of success, accident,
storm and escape during which five climbers died, including his
partner Julie Tullis and the great British mountaineer Al Rouse, is
lacerating in its sense of tragedy, loss and dogged survival. Only
Diemberger and Willi Bauer escaped the mountain. K2 had claimed the
lives of 13 climbers that summer. Kurt Diemberger is one of only
two climbers to have made first ascents of two 8000-metre peaks,
Broad Peak and Dhaulagiri. A superb mountaineer, the K2 trauma left
him physically and emotionally ravaged, but it also marked him out
as an instinctive and tenacious survivor. After a long period of
recovery Diemberger published The Endless Knot and resumed life as
a mountaineer, filmmaker and international lecturer.
This report reviews international research into the barriers to
play for children with disabilities. The authors come from
different disciplinary backgrounds, in Sociology, Social Policy,
Anthropology, Occupational Health and Education and bring different
concerns to this review. They are united, however, in their
adoption of a rights-based perspective. The UNCRC and UNCRPD
emphasise the right to play for children with disabilities. Play is
vital for child development. The problem of 'play deprivation' for
many children with disabilities is very real. Yet the right to, and
value of 'play for the sake of play', for fun and recreation, must
not be forgotten in relation to the lives of children with
disabilities. The focus in this report is upon barriers to play
that exist beyond the minds and bodies of individual children,
within a 'disabling' environment. Barriers include those associated
with the design of the built environment, social attitudes and
professional practices. The report maps an agenda for further
research in this area, emphasising the need for participatory
methodologies that capture the views and voices of children with
disabilities, their friends and families, on this important issue
of play. ABSTRACTING & INDEXING Barriers to Play and Recreation
