Complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) has become big
business. Alongside the increased consumption of complementary
medicine and the swelling numbers of complementary health
practitioners has emerged a growing interest in these medicines and
therapies from within the ranks of conventional primary health
care. At the level of practice and beyond, a culture of
confrontation and antagonism has begun to be replaced by a focus
upon potential integration, collaboration and common ground.With
these significant developments in mind, this ground-breaking book
is a valuable and timely addition to the CIM and primary health
care research literature. The collection outlines the core issues,
challenges and opportunities facing the CIM-primary health care
interface and its study and will provide insight and inspiration
for those practising, studying and researching the contemporary
relations between CIM and primary health care.The book is the first
to be authored by leading international CIM-primary health care
researchers from diverse disciplines and backgrounds, including
health social science, statistics, qualitative methodology, general
practice, clinical trials design, clinical pharmacology, health
services research and public health. All contributors are active
CIM-primary health care researchers and their extensive research
and practice experience helps lend a unique immediacy and richness
to the contributions and collection.
From the legionary fortress at York to the coastal lookout towers
on the coast, and from the artisan potters of Crambeck to the
brooch makers of Castleford, the history of Yorkshire has an
indelible mark left upon it by the Roman period. The Romans built
towns, forts, roads and ports and lived, worked and died in
Yorkshire for over three centuries. Roman emperors even visited it.
This book introduces, in an accessible way for all interested
readers, the incredible archaeology that they left behind, from
beautiful and unique objects to whole cities. Supported by
high-quality illustrations throughout, this is the perfect starting
point for anybody interested in the astonishing treasures the
Romans left behind in Yorkshire.
Cleveland Sellers Jr. was the scapegoat for one of the bloodiest
civil rights events of the 1960s. In 1968 state troopers gunned
down black students protesting the segregation of a South Carolina
bowling alley, killing three and injuring 28. The Orangeburg
Massacre was one of the most violent moments of the Southern Civil
Rights Movement, and only one person served prison time in its
aftermath: a young black man by the name of Cleveland Sellers Jr.
Many years later, the state would recognize that Sellers was a
scapegoat in that college campus tragedy and would issue a full
pardon. *Outside Agitator* is the story of a Sellers’ early
activism: organizing a lunch counter sit-in as a 15-year-old in the
tiny South Carolina town of Denmark, registering voters in Alabama
and Mississippi, refusing the Vietnam War draft, serving as
national program director of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee (SNCC) and working alongside 1960s civil rights icons
Stokely Carmichael, Martin Luther King Jr., H. Rap Brown and
Malcolm X. It's also the story of his lifelong struggle to overcome
the Orangeburg incident and his slow crawl to justice. That journey
takes him to Harvard University, then to a hard-fought position in
civil service in Greensboro, North Carolina. And in a triumphant
end to his career, a major Southern university elevates Sellers to
chair its African-American Studies program, and the historically
black college in his hometown respectfully calls him to be its
president. Adam Parker’s incisive biography is about a proud
black man who refuses to be defeated, whose tumultuous life story
personifies America’s continuing civil rights struggle.

When soldiers of the Roman 9th Legion arrived in AD 70, they built
a fortress and this huge military camp formed the foundation of the
modern city of York. Roman legionaries were garrisoned in the city
for over three centuries and a huge provincial town grew up around
them. Eboracum was a city at the edge of the Empire. The city was a
thriving metropolitan hub and a cultural and technological boiling
pot, as well as being a seat of power visited by Roman Emperors.
Author Adam Parker introduces the archaeology of Eboracum,
discussing the people, the places, and the objects in an accessible
way, illustrated throughout.
