This book looks at the experiences of six Asian countries in terms
of developing and implementing domestic competition policy. It
analyzes how the choice of development policies impacts on the
state of competition in each country and how competition
contributes to development. The considerable variation in policies
and experiences across the countries provides a rich source of
information from which lessons and best practices can be
drawn.
The unexpected surge in the birthrate between 1946 and 1964
transformed American society. A nation that had projected a
population peaking at 150 million, and feared a renewal of the
Great Depression in the wake of World War II, found itself dealing
with a booming economy and 70 million children straining the
capacity of everything from schools to new suburban housing. In
Boomers, Victor Brooks chronicles the peaceful children's
"invasion" of America that occurred from Dr. Spock to Woodstock. He
identifies the challenge of parenthood in an era of large families
and overcrowded homes, and explores the home life, leisure
activities, and school environment of children who grew up during
the cold war years. A major theme of Boomers is the influence on
children of a newly energized American popular culture, including
television, film, popular music, and toys.
A Short and Easy Method of Prayer was originally circulated
privately but proved to be so popular that it was finally made
available to the public in 1685. Written by French mystic, writer,
and preacher MADAME JEANNE-MARIE BOUVIER DE LA MOTTE-GUYON
(1648-1717), this brief treatise is divided into 24 chapters, each
chapter a step along the path to God. These clear and simple
precepts-translated from the French by Thomas D. Brook and
published in English in this edition in 1867-were written with the
average person in mind, and include Madame Guyon's thoughts on
meditation, self-abandonment, suffering, self-examination,
distractions and temptations, prayer as a sacrifice, the
distinction between inward and outward acts, and more. Madame
Guyon's words of encouragement will inspire the modern reader much
as they inspired her 17th-century counterpart.
Herewe offer anew approach to understanding and managing common
medical conditions. With the needs of our readers in mind we
present clearer, more extensive and more expansive views on them.
Traditional medical textbooks are wordy tomes with well worn
patterns dealing in set order with 'causes, symptoms and signs,
diagnosis and treatment'. They offer formal instant snapshots of
diseases. We have devised an economic synoptic style, and we have
endeavoured to give acomprehensive and an on-going long term
movepicture ofeach condition and to relate this to the
analysisofsymptoms and signs, to diagnostic assessment and to
management and treatment. We have selected 22 important conditions
and for eachhave followed the same sequence of questions and
answers: * What is it? giving a brief summary of the current
understanding of the nature of the condition. * Who gets it when?
showing the age-sex distributions and influence ofother factors
such as social class, international comparisons,
andtheirlikelyfrequency ingeneralpractice and at the district
general hospital. * What happens? analysing the significance of
symptoms and signs, the likely course and outcome and how these
influence care. * What to do? an appreciation of the nature and
presentation of the condition, and their relevance to diagnosis and
management.
The Lemonade Reader is an interdisciplinary collection that
explores the nuances of Beyonce's 2016 visual album, Lemonade. The
essays and editorials present fresh, cutting-edge scholarship
fueled by contemporary thoughts on film, material culture,
religion, and black feminism. Envisioned as an educational tool to
support and guide discussions of the visual album at postgraduate
and undergraduate levels, The Lemonade Reader critiques Lemonade's
multiple Afrodiasporic influences, visual aesthetics, narrative arc
of grief and healing, and ethnomusicological reach. The essays,
written by both scholars and popular bloggers, reflects a broad yet
uniquely specific black feminist investigation into constructions
of race, gender, spirituality, and southern identity. The Lemonade
Reader gathers a newer generation of black feminist scholars to
engage in intellectual discourse and confront the emotional labor
around the Lemonade phenomena. It is the premiere source for
examining Lemonade, a text that will continue to have a lasting
impact on black women's studies and popular culture.

DDDDDDDDDDDD Effective management logically follows accurate
diagnosis. Such logic often is difficult to apply in practice.
Absolute diagnostic accuracy may not be possible, particularly in
the field of primary care, when management has to be on analysis of
symptoms and on knowledge of the individual patient and family.
This series follows that on Problems in Practice which was con
cerned more with diagnosis in the widest sense and this series
deals more definitively with general care and specific treatment of
symp toms and diseases. Good management must include knowledge of
the nature, course and outcome of the conditions, as well as
prominent clinical features and assessment and investigations, but
the em phasis is on what to do best for the patient. Family medical
practitioners have particular difficu1ties and ad vantages in their
work_ Because they often work in professional isolation in the
community and deal with relatively small numbers of near-normal
patients their experience with the more serious and more rare
conditions is restricted. They find it difficult to remain
up-to-date with medical advances and even more difficult to decide
on the suitability and application of new and relatively untried
methods compared with those that are 'old' and well proven. Their
advantages are that because of long-term continuous care for their
patients they have come to know them and their families FOREWORD
well and are able to become familiar with the more common and less
serious diseases of their communities."
Administering the National Health Service (NHS) is asking to
navigate without reliable and sufficient information. It is amazing
how a national service costing more than GBP15,OOOM (1984) and
employing more than 1 million has existed since 1948. It is likely
that with better appropriate data there could be economies and
great efficiency and effectiveness. Paradoxically there is much
data on the NHS, published and unpublished, that has remained
unexploited and unused. In this book we have taken up the
challenges of showing the availability of data and its presentation
so that clinicians, adminis trators, committee members and
politicians can better understand the state and needs of the NHS.
Why this book? Because it is not possible to make decisions without
facts. There is too much data around that is unrelated to the needs
of clinicians, administrators, committee members and politicians.
It can be brought together to provide bases for de cisions and,
more important, to show the gaps that exist and the need for more
information. What does it contain? It includes social and
demographic data, NHS facts and figures, manpower data on the use
of the NHS and some examples of how quality can be assessed and
promoted.
Backing up the pioneering medical researchers and experi menters
are the phalanxes and cohorts of practising clinicians in district
general hospitals and in general practice who may have to implement
and apply any breakthroughs and advances in practical and realistic
terms. This they cannot, and should not, be expected to do without
careful consideration and analysis. It is essential, therefore, to
have regular reviews of the growing points of medicine which are
constructively critical as well as being enthusiastic and which can
present the issues and implications clearly and fairly to
clinicians. The Practical Clinical Medicine series is designed to
provide such regular reviews on selected subjects. Each volume is
under the charge of an invited editor who selects his team of 4-6
experts. Each contribution is an authoritative, detailed and
referenced examination of his topic, is clearly presented in an
understandable manner and is practical, relevant and applic able to
everyday clinical practice. The series is intended as a means of
communication between researchers and practising clinicians. It is
dedicated to gener alists who provide primary health care in
general practice and to generalists providing secondary medical
care in district vii viii Series Editors' Foreword general
hospitals. Both are involved in applying good general practical
clinical medicine for their patients, but can only succeed in a
climate of constant review and examination."
