Are India and Pakistan rivals or enemies? Despite a voluminous
output of political and, in particular, historical accounts of this
extraordinary and unique relationship in international politics,
there has been little attempt to theorize the culture of violence
between these two states. As a consequence, the study of
India-Pakistan relations suffers from what the author labels
historical reiteration - that is, the dispute is historicized in a
way that reproduces the preconceived division of 1947. Duncan
McLeod moves the debate away from historical reiteration to instead
theorize on the levels, nature and culture of violence between
India and Pakistan since partition and independence in 1947. He
examines the politicization of culture, cultures of rivalry and
conflict, enmity and unlimited conflict. The volume will appeal to
students and scholars in the fields of political theory, Asian
politics and political sociology.

Textbook of Palliative Care is a comprehensive, clinically relevant
and state-of-the art book, aimed at advancing palliative care as a
science, a clinical practice and as an art. Palliative care has
been part of healthcare for over fifty years but we still find
ourselves having to explain its nature and practice to colleagues
and to the public in general. Healthcare education and training has
been slow to recognize the vital importance of ensuring that all
practitioners have a good understanding of what is involved in the
care of people with serious or advanced illnesses and their
families. However, the science of palliative care is advancing and
our understanding concerning many aspects of palliative care is
developing rapidly. The book is divided into separate sections for
ease of use. Over 100 chapters written by experts in their given
fields provide up-to-date information on a wide range of topics of
relevance to those providing care towards the end of life no matter
what the disease may be. We present a global perspective on
contemporary and classic issues in palliative care with authors
from a wide range of disciplines involved in this essential aspect
of care. The Textbook includes sections addressing aspects such as
symptom management and care provision, organization of care in
different settings, care in specific disease groups, palliative
care emergencies, ethics, public health approaches and research in
palliative care. This Textbook will be of value to practitioners in
all disciplines and professions where the care of people
approaching death is important, specialists as well as
non-specialists, in any setting where people with serious advanced
illnesses are residing. It is also an important resource for
researchers, policy-and decision-makers at national or regional
levels. Neither the science nor the art of palliative care will
stand still so we aim to keep this Textbook updated as the authors
find new evidence and approaches to care.
