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 The notes explain Malay terms and historical references,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.

Introducing this major new detective franchise starring Academy Award nominee and BAFTA winner Brenda Blethyn as Chief Inspector Vera Stanhope.
Middle-aged Vera is an experienced, not to mention brilliant, murder detective. Kind-hearted but a loner, she freely admits she can become obsessed with her job.
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.
"Wandering into" Brave New World explores the historical contexts
and contemporary sources of Aldous Huxley's 1932 novel which,
seventy years after its initial publication remains the best known
and most discussed dystopian work of the twentieth century. This
new study addresses a number of questions which still remain open.
Did his round-the-world trip in 1925-1926 provide material for the
novel? Did India's caste system contribute to the novel's human
levels? Is there an overarching pattern to the names of the novel/s
characters? Has the role of Hollywood in the novel been
underestimated? Is Lenina Crown a representative 1920s "flapper"?
Did Huxley have knowledge of and sources for his Indian reservation
characters and scenes quite independent of and more accurate than
those of D. H. Lawrence's writings? Did Huxley's visit to Borneo
contribute anything to the novel? New research allows substantive
answers and even explains why Huxley linked such figures as Henry
Ford and Sigmund Freud. It also shows how the novel overcomes its
intense grounding in 1920s political turmoil to escape into the
timelessness of dystopian fiction.
