Writing as Material Practice grapples with the issue of writing as
a form of material culture in its ancient and more recent
manifestations, and in the contexts of production and consumption.
Fifteen case studies explore the artefactual nature of writing -
the ways in which materials, techniques, colour, scale, orientation
and visibility inform the creation of inscribed objects, spaces and
landscapes, as well as structure subsequent engagement, perception
and meaning making. Covering a temporal span of some 5000 years,
from c.3200 BCE to the present day, and ranging in spatial context
from the Americas to the Near East, the chapters in this volume
bring a variety of perspectives which contribute to both specific
and broader questions of writing materialities. Authors also aim to
place past graphical systems in their social contexts so they can
be understood in relation to the people who created and attributed
meaning to writing and associated symbolic modes through a diverse
array of individual and wider social practices.
This title constitutes an excellent source of information for
gaining a better understanding of information technologies in
healthcare; for reviewing how healthcare will change as a
consequence; and how to manage these changes in order to realise
eHealth's full potential in creating value for patients,
professionals and the system as a whole.

Archaeology and Women draws together from a variety of angles work
currently being done within a contemporary framework on women in
archaeology. One section of this collection of original articles
addresses the historical and contemporary roles of women in the
discipline. Another attempts to link contemporary archaeological
theory and practice to work on women and gender in other fields.
Finally, this volume presents a wide diversity of theoretical
approaches and methods of study of women in the ancient world,
representing a cross section of work being carried out today under
the broad banner of gender archaeology. The geographical and
chronological range of the contributions is also wide, from
Southeast Asia and South America to Western Asia, Egypt and Europe,
from Great Britain to Greece, and from 10,000 years ago to the
recent past. An ideal sampler for courses dealing with women and
archaeology.
