Medievalists are increasingly grappling with spatial studies. This
timely book argues that geography is a crucial element in Sir
Thomas Malory's M orte Darthur and contributors shine a light on
questions of politics and genre to help readers better understand
Malory's world.

This book proposes a new conceptual framework for theorising young
people's relationship with crime. It emerges from a critique of the
narrow approach advocated by developmental criminology and argues
for an analysis that recognises and includes the important
contribution that the young themselves can make to the theorising
and understanding of their relationship with crime. Explicitly
using the voices of a group of working class young people who are
defined as 'a social problem', this approach emphasises how
criminal identities and pathways are strongly influenced by the
interactions embedded in political ecological systems and
relationships.
Drawing upon the work of the social psychologist Urie
Bronfenbrenner and sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, this book explores
young people's 'nested' and 'political' ecological relationships
with crime. A Political Ecology of Youth and Crime examines the
impacts of these relationships through an empirical investigation
of the important 'places' and 'spaces' in young people's lives; in
their social relationships with peers and family members; and
within formal institutional systems such as education, youth
justice and social care. This book makes an important new
contribution to how we understand the relationship between youth
and crime in the contexts of sociology, criminology, social
psychology and education.
Fungal diseases have been with us from antiquity; interest in the
chemo therapy of fungal disease has exploded in the past decade. To
plan and pro duce a book on the topic of antifungal chemotherapy
has come as a personal challenge - and something of an eye-opener -
towards the end of my re search career. A landmark publication
which still merits reading is Antifungal Chemotherapy (John Wiley
& Sons, Chichester, UK), edited by David Speller, which
appeared in 1980. However, the fact that ketoconazole, the first of
the modern, orally active, wide-spectrum antifungals, attracted no
more than two sentences in it indicates just how far we have come
in the 1980s. A steady stream of original papers and a number of
conference proceedings have chronicled this progress in drug
research; outstanding among the latter are the proceedings of an
international telesymposium, entitled Recent Trends in the
Discovery, Development and Evaluation of Antifungal Agents, edited
by Robert Fromtling (J.R. Prous, Barcelona, 1987) and volume 544 of
the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, entitled Antifungal
Drugs, edited by Vassil St. Georgiev, and containing papers and
posters presented at a most enjoyable 3-day conference held at
Garden City, New York, in the autumn of 1987."
Medical texts provide a powerful means of accessing contemporary perceptions of illness and through them assumptions about the nature of the body and identity. By mapping these perceptions, from their 19th century focus on illness located in a biological body through to their 'discovery' of the psycho-social patient of the late 20th century, a history of identity, both physical and psychological, is revealed.

Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Protection: The Science of Free
Radical Biology and< Disease provides an overview of the basic
principles of free radical formation. The text delves into free
radical formation in molecular biology and its effect on
subcellular damage, as well as the role of antioxidant reserves as
a protective mechanism. Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Protection
begins with a historical perspective of pioneers in oxidative
stress with an introductory section that explains the basic
principles related to oxidative stress in biochemistry and
molecular biology, demonstrating both pathways and biomarkers. This
section also covers diagnostic imaging and differential
diagnostics. The following section covers psychological,
physiologic, pharmacologic and pathologic correlates. This section
addresses inheritance, gender, nutrition, obesity, family history,
behavior modification, natural herbal-botanical products, and
supplementation in the treatment of disease. Clinical trials are
also summarized for major medical disorders and efficacy of
treatment, with particular focus on inflammation, immune response,
recycling, disease progression, outcomes and interventions. Each of
the chapters describes what biomarker(s) and physiological
functions may be relevant to a concept of specific disease and
potential alternative therapy. The chapters cover medical
terminology, developmental change, effects of aging, senescence,
lifespan, and wound healing, and also illustrates cross-over
exposure to other fields. The final chapter covers how and when to
interpret appropriate data used in entry level biostatistics and
epidemiology. Authored and edited by leaders in the field,
Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Protection will be an invaluable
resource for students and researchers studying cell biology,
molecular biology, and biochemistry, as well professionals in
various health science fields.

Der Dyspepsiealmanach bietet zusammen mit dem dazugeh-rigen Video,
aber auchallein eine einfache und gleichzeitig wissenschaftlich
fundierte Einf}hrung in die Problematik der funktionellen
Dyspepsien. Anhand der verschiedenen Dyspepsietypen werden die
Fragen des klinischen Alltags praxisnah demonstriert. Das
Wesentliche ist in schematischen ]bersichten und Graphiken
zusammengefa t.
