To better understand and contextualise the twilight of the Gothic
genre during the 1920s and 1830s, "The History of Gothic
Publishing, 1800-1835: Exhuming the Trade" examines the
disreputable aspects of the Gothic trade from its horrid bluebooks
to the desperate hack writers who created the short tales of
terror. From the Gothic publishers to the circulating libraries,
this study explores the conflict between the canon and the
twilight, and between the disreputable and the moral.
This research volume serves as a comprehensive resource for psychophysiological research on media responses. It addresses the theoretical underpinnings, methodological techniques, and most recent research in this area. It goes beyond current volumes by placing the research techniques within a context of communication processes and effects as a field, and demonstrating how the real-time measurement of physiological responses enhances and complements more traditional measures of psychological effects from media. This volume introduces readers to the theoretical assumptions of psychophysiology as well as the operational details of collecting psychophysiological data. In addition to discussing specific measures, it includes brief reviews of recent experiments that have used psychophysiological measures to study how the brain processes media. It will serve as a valuable reference for media researchers utilizing these methodologies, or for other researchers needing to understand the theories, history, and methods of psychophysiological research.

This book aims to be a single point of reference for advances in the care of geriatric populations across medical and surgical specialties. The aging population is a unique demographic with its own health challenges. Geriatricians are specifically trained to address these challenges but few medical students or residents enter geriatrics, even as the demand for geriatric expertise increases. The practices of many medical and surgical specialists are dominated by older patients who may themselves see many specialists but rarely visit geriatricians. This updated edition elucidates the most common medical conditions seen in aging patients and translates approaches to those conditions for physicians across specialties. Divided into three sections that assemble crosscutting issues, medical specialties, and surgical and related specialties, this book serves as a guide for clinicians of all backgrounds who will work with older patients as the demographic ages further. This second edition of Geriatrics for Specialists expands the number of specialist chapters to reflect growth in research in aging and clinical care for older people in dermatology, plastic surgery, and behavioral neurology. All original chapters from the first edition are extensively revised and updated to reflect the rapid growth of new knowledge in the field.
This book focuses on the circumstances that lead to the marked increased vulnerability of seniors and are most challenging to clinicians including the presence of multiple chronic medical conditions, variable losses of physiological function, and heterogeneity among individuals. Written by the experts who lead the initiative to deliver high quality surgical and medical care to the elderly, Geriatrics for Specialists is the first book of its kind to provide the comprehensive knowledge specialists and associated generalists need to deliver quality health care to seniors. With topics on important cross cutting issues like frailty, delirium and polypharmacy and specialty chapters on emergency medicine, anesthesia, many surgical and medical disciplines and rehabilitation, this book provides clinicians the knowledge and tools needed to evaluate, treat and manage the unique needs of seniors. Geriatrics for Specialists was created as a resource for specialist, generalists and allied health professionals and their students and trainees who care for elderly patients.

This work follows the study of the ecclesiastical geology of almost all Anglo-Saxon religious sites throughout England. There, it proved possible to both understand and distinguish clearly obvious patterns in the use of stonework, to determine the use and value of specific rock types, and to illustrate diagnostic features which could be used to identify building of that period. Subsequent studies of ecclesiastical sites, in Scotland and the Scottish Islands, the Isle of Man and Ireland expanded the value of the English studies by revealing closely analogous examples of the same indicative features. Beyond the domain of the Anglo-Saxons but of the same age, they were shown to follow a fashion; to this fashion the name 'Patterned' was applied.
In this study John Potter provides both an introduction to ecclesiastical geology in the British Isles, and then applies the methodology which he has outlined to the analysis of the stonework of a number of early churches in Ireland. In particular Potter highlights the use of vertically bedded stonework in pre-Romanesque churches, drawing parallels between English, Scottish and Irish examples.
This study takes a geological approach to the study of the flint walls of Great Yarmouth, generally considered to have been constructed when the town was at the height of its power and wealth in the fourteenth century. It shows that in fact the construction history is far more complex, with virtually the whole of the walls undergoing regular and extensive rebuilding and repairs.
The late Charlotte Hilton Green was an early and influential
champion of the Tar Heel state's natural environment, and her
popular weekly column, 'Out-of-Doors in Carolina, ' appeared in the
Raleigh "News and Observer" for forty-two years (1932-74). A
classic in the field of popular nature writing, "Birds of the
South" was originally published by UNC Press in 1933, preceding by
a year Roger Tory Peterson's landmark volume, "A Field Guide to the
Birds."
