Further sections focus on different "gold standard" techniques and the procedural steps needed to perform the surgery, including chapters on colposuspension, paravaginal repair, laparoscopic hysterectomy as well as apical suspensory surgery such as sacrocolpopexy and sacrohysteropexy. The final section includes debates and opinion pieces on newer techniques as well as discussion on the use of mesh in treating pelvic organ prolapse. There is also a section addressing the current rise in robotic surgery. The editors and contributors are all experts in the field, providing an authoritative and global view on techniques. Highly illustrated, with videos demonstrating the techniques, this is an eminently practical guide to the use of laparoscopy in urogynaecology.

The Oxford Handbook of Peace History offers a comprehensive analysis of peace history from ancient times to the present day. With contributions from an international roster of scholars, the Handbook provides researchers, students, and instructors a timely examination of the global dimensions of peace work. Organized around six major sections — three chronological and three thematic — the Handbook explores concepts such as peace activism, internationalism, social justice, and cultures of nonviolence as transformative ideas and policy practices. It also demonstrates how conceptions of peace and approaches to peacemaking have varied and developed since antiquity. By including interdisciplinary perspectives on peace, the Handbook introduces new pathways for understanding war, conflict, peacemaking, and violence. The chapters, along with the volume's comprehensive Introduction, provide useful resources for understanding the development of peace history as a discipline while highlighting the connections between peace history and fields such as peace and conflict studies.
