This book traces the history of youth culture from its origins among the student communities of inter-war Britain to the more familiar world of youth communities and pop culture. Grounded in extensive original research, it explores the individuals, institutions and ideas that have shaped youth culture over much of the twentieth century.

First Published in 1996. The first generation of British teenagers- young people eager to spend a significant proportion of their wages on consumer goods and services such as cosmetics, clothes, magazines, records, motorcycles, cinemas and dance halls- is generally regarded as that of the 1950s and 1960s. The same group, sociologists and economic and social historians have claimed, was the first to enjoy the autonomy in the labour market and to experience low unemployment. This study argues convincingly that in fact a teenage culture in modern sense already existed in the period between the two world wars. The book is grounded in extensive original research; on hitherto unexploited sources such as the records of the interwar Juvenile Employment Bureaux; on the records of youth movements ranging from the Boy Scouts to inner-city lads' and girls' clubs; on magazines aimed at youth, from millgirl magazines to specialist film, music and hobbies publications; and on contemporary social surveys, newspapers and oral history.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 4th International Conference, eHealth 2011, held in Malaga, Spain, in November 2011. The 20 revised full papers presented along with 8 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions in total and cover a wide range of topics including social media analysis, knowledge integration and EPR, personalisation and patient support systems, early warning systems and mobile monitoring, games and learning, security, privacy and prevention, online support for professionals and patients, agents in eHealth, online communities of practice, eHealth solutions, social media surveillance, and communication and data integration.

This is a new edition of an original and controversial book. As well as revising parts of the text and substantially updating the bibliography, the author takes a more polemical stance and enters into a discussion of the nature and range of different interpretations.

The book is divided into three parts: Interpretation, Evidence and Later Developments. The first part presents several new interpretations of the idea of ratio in early Greek mathematics and illustrates them in detailed discussions of several texts. Part Two focuses on the sources themselves, and questions the depth of modern knowledge of Plato's Academy during his lifetime, the source of our text of Euclid's Elements, and modern understanding of early Greek mathematics. The final part contrasts some of the evidence from early and late antiquity and then gives a historical account, since the seventeenth century, of the theory of continued fractions, our version today of the mathematics underlying the reconstruction.

From reviews of the first edition:

"...a real treat." Greece and Rome

"...he enters into classical scholarship here with a really "new reconstruction" of early Greek mathematics." Nature.

'Living in the past. It's always said pejoratively, as if the past is necessarily inferior to the future, or at any rate less important; nobody's ever condemned for looking forward, only back. But the truth is that we live in the past, whether we like it or not. That's where our life takes shape. Somewhere ahead, however near or far, is the end. But behind, shrouded in clouds of forgetting, lies the beginning'. This book about Scarborough IS unashamedly about looking back from the first mention of Scarborough in 8000 BC to the present day. It is not a formal history; rather a miscellany of interesting facts culled from many sources stretching back over the years.

More and more people are getting on their bikes and discovering what city cycling's all about. It may be cycling to work, it may be cycling to get your groceries and other stuff, or it may be cycling for fun - going out to meet friends and socialize. You don't need to be a hardened, experienced cyclist to use your bike in the city. But you might feel like you could use a little help and guidance, and that's what this book is all about. First up is a point-by-point look at the pros and cons of cycling in the city (with the emphasis very much on the positive, as you'd expect, but not ignoring the less appealing stuff). Next comes a comprehensive guide to what you'll need and where to get it - types of bike, their components and the extras they may have, accessories, clothing and more - along with sound advice on what you really need and what you can get along just fine without. The next section provides you with all the help you'll need to get the most out of your bike and the whole city cycling experience. After that, there's a few thoughts on where your pedals might take you once you've got past the first few turns; things you might like to do to get even more out of cycling. Last but not least, there's a glossary of the terms used, which you can use as a reference when you're reading the book - and which will help you know what they're talking about at the cycle store The author is a true veteran of city cycling, with over twenty years experience of riding bikes in various large, busy cities. The Urban Cycling Handbook gives you the benefit of all this experience, printed in full color and written in an easy-to-read style.

Many of us find it almost impossible to resist certain types of food - it could be a burger, fries, candy, pizza, ice cream, but whatever it is we just can't say no to it. It doesn't even matter if we're hungry - we want to eat it anyhow. And as a result, we eat too much, too often - and so we end up overweight. If this sounds like you, what can you do about it? You've probably tried dieting - many try and few succeed. You want to lose weight, but weight loss isn't easy to do. You need to stop overeating, you need to take back control of your appetite. You know all this already, deep down - but how can you do it? Lose Weight, Stop Overeating has the answers you need. First, it explains in straight language why it is that you find certain foods so hard to resist - what happens to you and why it does. Once you understand this, you'll have a fighting chance of losing that excess weight. Next up, there's a chapter letting you know just what you need to do. It's all about getting rid of old, bad habits - and learning new ones to replace them. Follow this advice and you'll be well on the way to where you want to be To make sure you can get there, the last chapter tells you how to do it. This is all about getting yourself right mentally - overweight may be a physical problem, but the roots are all in the mind. Lose Weight, Stop Overeating is not a diet book. It's about changing your eating habits, but this is a long-term thing, not some fad that will last for a few weeks or months and leave you right back where you started, or a 'magic bullet' system which promises plenty but delivers very little. Nor does it pretend that you can do all of this with minimum effort. Instead, it points you in the right direction to get where you want to be - slimmer, healthier, happier. Lose weight, stop overeating Take control of your appetite, take control of your life You'll be glad you did.
