The scope of the book includes all neurological problems in
infancy. In the first half, it sets out in a succinct format the
principles of working with families, of clinical assessment, of the
use of investigations and treatments, and of evidence-based
medicine. The second, symptom-based half of the book provides
detailed guidance on the practice of child neurology in infancy.
The authors are distinguished experts drawn from all over Europe.
The contributors have approached their chapters using an
accessible, didactic style and consistent organization of material.
The emphasis throughout is on clinical methods, the use of
appropriate investigations and treatments, and the avoidance of
unnecessary or potentially harmful interventions. For quick
reference, all chapters feature boxes highlighting key messages,
common errors, and when to worry. The book is designed to be
carried round as a handy reference.
This book updates the theory and brings together empirical research
based on the multidimensional
entrepreneurship-professionalism-leadership (EPL) framework for
subjective career 'space'. It also discusses the extension of the
original 'person-centred' framework to other levels of analysis,
for example, ways of considering the EPL (human capital) capacities
of an organisation, city, or even nation. By providing insights
into the development of EPL motivations and efficacies over time,
the book helps readers appreciate the application of the EPL
framework in a wider range of contexts, such as
research-innovation-enterprise, healthcare, and pre-university
settings. It also shows how EPL research contributes to a better
understanding of leadership and entrepreneurial development.

This volume explores how the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars
(1793-1815) were experienced, perceived and narrated by
contemporaries in Britain and Ireland. These conflicts have been
described as the first modern or 'total' war with far-reaching
consequences for military and civilian society and the development
of modern identities. Yet in contrast to the innovative body of
scholarship on the First and Second World Wars there has been
little sustained analysis of the personal experiences of men and
women involved directly or indirectly in these conflicts.
Narratives of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars addresses this
historiographical gap using letters, diaries and personal
testimonies by soldiers, sailors and civilians to shed new light on
the social and cultural history of the period and the history of
warfare more broadly.

This collection examines soldiers as combatants, tourists, family
men and as citizens. In particular, chapters trace the theme of the
'citizen soldier' through the initiatives of the period that placed
civilian men under arms. In these ways and more, this new book
explores 'soldiering' as an activity, an identity, a career and a
way of life.
"Public Men" offers an introduction to an exciting new field: the
history of masculinities in the political domain and will be
essential reading for students and specialists alike with interests
in gender or political culture. By building upon new work on gender
and political culture, these new case studies explore the gendering
of the political domain and the masculinities of the men who have
historically dominated it. As such, "Public Men" is a major
contribution to our understanding of the history of Britain between
the Eighteenth and the Twentieth centuries.
The first of a two-volume examination of medievalism and academic
scholarship, this collection is divided into four sections:
Canonizing Chaucer, Antiquarian loomings, Medievalism, medieval
studies, and Medieval studies at the millennium. Medievalism, the
"continuing process of creating the middle ages", engenders formal
medieval studies from a wide variety of popular interests in the
middle ages. This volume accordingly explores the common ground
between artisticand popular constructions of the middle ages and
the study of the middle ages within the academy. Essays treat the
genesis of medieval studies in early modern antiquarianism; the
erection of academic medievalism through persistent, indeed
perverse, appeals to heroic medieval manliness and attenuated
female spirituality; the current jeopardy of the book (a medieval
invention) in the face of technological assault; the politics of
the nineteenth-century academy (F.W. Furnival and others); the
editorial practice of Sidney Lanier; and the cultural canonization
of Chaucer. Contributors: DAVID O. MATTHEWS, STEVE ELLIS, ANTONIA

This book will push you to live above ordinary. It will take
courage to move from ordinary to extraordinary, but you will not
regret it. Others long to see something to emulate, a hero to look
up to, a mentor to follow. Be that to someone. Our world needs
strong leaders leading the right way. Decide to take your place and
fulfill the destiny meant for you and you alone. I challenge you to
move from ordinary living to extraordinary living, in every arena
of life. Through hard circumstances, through tough personal
assessment, through accepting others, as well as yourself, through
personal growth in work and marriage, through an intimate daily
encounter with God. Be extraordinary
