The complete collection of short fiction from a literary stylist
who captured the nuances of life in the American South of the early
twentieth century, "The Collected Stories of Caroline Gordon" is
firmly rooted in the traditions, the social habits, and the land
itself. As Robert Penn Warren writes in his introduction, "Caroline
Gordon's world lies in southeast Kentucky . . . [She displays] a
disciplined style as unpretentious and clear as running water, but
shot through with glints of wit, humor, pity, and poetry. [She had]
the rare gift of the teller of the tale."

approach to the assessment and management of patients with this
complex, multisystem autoimmune disease to improve the diagnosis
and treatment of the disease and its complications. It provides
comprehensive but easy to assimilate reading for consultant
rheumatologists, dermatologists, nephrologists, obstetricians and
other specialists and their trainees, interested GPs, specialist
nurses, and clinical trial teams both in hospitals and contract
research organizations.
