This Irish made comedy horror starring Samantha Mumba and comedienne Deirdre O'Kane tells the story of a teenage date which goes comically and then horrifically wrong, plunging a whole town into chaos.
The night 17-year old Nathan Maguire chooses to tell Jessica that he is in love with her is the night he dies. Nathan is subsequently resurrected by his mother as a zombie through the power of voodoo rituals.
But he returns with the intense desire to eat human flesh and soon Dublin's suburbs are over-run with zombies in this wickedly funny tongue -in -cheek horror.
Originally published in 1983, this volume follows others in the
series. The user is provided with a Verbal Index, citing each type
and its location, a Word Frequency Table, and a Field of Reference.
This volume is part of a series which produced verbal indexes,
concordances, and related data for all of Conrad's works.
Originally published in 1985, as with the earlier volumes in the
series, the reader of The Rover is here provided a Verbal Index,
citing each type and its location, a Word Frequency Table, and a
Field of Reference. Using the tables in this concordance, the
reader should be better able to address the issue of style and
determine on a more informed basis whether Conrad has deliberately
eschewed the adjectival and even the figurative in favour of a
lean, spare style, or whether he has simply tangled his style in
rhetorical excesses and imprecisions.
Set in eastern Borneo during the 1880s, Almayer's Folley recreates
the conflicts of imperial Europe with the colonised East Indies
through Joseph Conrad's story of Kaspar Almayer's personal tragedy:
his loss of both his daughter of mixed race to her native lover and
his dream of finding enough gold to return to Amsterdam in triumph.
The introduction gives the history of the composition over almost
five years as Conrad went to the Congo, Australia, the Ukraine,
Belgium, Switzerland, and France as a seaman and on holiday. The
novel has suffered seven layers of unauthorised intervention by
typists and publishers, as set out in the essay on the text and the
apparatus. The notes explain Malay terms and historical references,
and there are two regional maps. This is the text of Almayer's
Folley, established through modern textual scholarship, as Conrad
would have like it to have appeared in 1895.
Poverty, Inequality and Health: An International Perspective raises new and critical issues about health inequalities. It is unique in that it provides the first truly international perspective on this problem, with contributions from the developed and developing world. The outcome of a Public Health Forum organised by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, this book brings together material from internationally recognised contributors from a wide range of disciplines and countries. The chapters reflect this diversity, ranging from the micro- to the macro-level, from aetiology to intervention. Topics covered include: the over-arching concepts linking economic and social forces and health status the extent to which ethical concerns lie at the heart of the issue of inequalities in health and attempts to ameliorate them; macro-level features of inequalities in health within and between countries; an overview of the main body of work on inequalities in health in developed countries and those in transition within Europe; specific pathways and mechanisms at the individual level that link poverty and inequality to health status; the interaction of social and biological influences on health status throughout life; specific disease-specific links; and issues of policy and interventions aimed at reducing inequalities in health. The book brings together people from very varied disciplines to discuss an area of clear international interest and global importance. As such it will be of value to the broad public health audience as well as research epidemiologists, international policy analysts and policy makers and those concerned with economic development and health.
Translated by Leon J. Weinberger with Dena Ordan
"This slender anonymous work, spanning 1389 to 1611, presents
the priorities and concerns of a Jewish community straddling the
late medieval and early modern periods. Ample footnotes and
explanations provide the lay reader with sufficient background to
understand the references to historical events and figures, to
ideologies and to institutions. A comprehensive introduction
presents the realities of Prague and Bohemia, as well as offering a
helpful discussion of the chronicle and other contemporary Jewish
accounts."
—"Conservative Jewish Quarterly"
"In about 1615 an anonymous Jew from Prague composed a short
Hebrew chronicle to recount 'the expulsions, miracles, and other
occurrences befalling the Jews] in Prague and the other lands of
our long exile.' Abraham David discovered the manuscript and] added
glosses, historical notes, and an introduction. . . . The
chronicle, with its brief annual entries, is not a continuous
narrative, but does give a feeling of immediacy, like a
newspaper."
—"Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry"
"The Survival Guide to Self-Care: For Those Embattled with the Care
of the Emotionally Disabled" is a short manuscript designed to give
those who are dealing with the emotionally disabled all the
necessary tools to transition the lives of both the caregiver and
the sufferer into a healthier and more quality lifestyle.
