Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Based on the acclaimed professional certificate program,
Advanced Institute on Victim Studies: Critical Analysis of Victim
Assistance, this book identifies core content areas essential for
practitioners working with crime victims.
Recognizing the multidisciplined, multisystem field that
encompasses victim assistance, the contributors present a solid
foundation of the varying concepts and theories on victims and
victims services. The balance of the text addresses the skills and
strategies needed to enhance services to victims at the individual,
organizational, and societal levels. Each chapter concludes with an
analysis and application section, including representative
scenarios and key questions for review.

Stretching back to antiquity, motion had been a key means of
designing and describing the physical environment. But during the
sixteenth through eighteenth centuries, individuals across Europe
increasingly designed, experienced, and described a new world of
motion: one characterized by continuous, rather than segmented,
movement. New spaces that included vistas along house interiors and
uninterrupted library reading rooms offered open expanses for
shaping sequences of social behaviour, scientists observed how the
Earth rotated around the sun, and philosophers attributed emotions
to neural vibrations in the human brain. Early Modern Spaces in
Motion examines this increased emphasis on motion with eight essays
encompassing a geographical span of Portugal to German-speaking
lands and a disciplinary range from architectural history to
English. It consequently merges longstanding strands of analysis
considering people in motion and buildings in motion to explore the
cultural historical attitudes underpinning the varied impacts of
motion in early modern Europe.

The third volume in the classic epic trilogy of parallel worlds,
admired by Tolkien and the great prototype for The Lord of the
Rings and modern fantasy fiction. E. R. Eddison was the author of
three of the most remarkable fantasies in the English language: The
Worm Ouroboros, Mistress of Mistresses and A Fish Dinner in
Memison. Linked together as separate parts of one vast romantic
epic, fans who clamoured for more were finally rewarded 13 years
after Eddison's death with the publication of the uncompleted
fourth novel, written during the dark years of the Second World
War. This new edition of The Mezentian Gate includes additional
narrative fragments of the story missing from the original 1958
edition. Together with an illuminating introduction by Eddison
scholar Paul Edmund Thomas, this volume returns Edward Lessingham
to the extravagant realm of Zimiamvia and concludes one of the most
extraordinary and influential fantasy series ever written.
The quality of 'monumentality' is attributed to the buildings of
few historical epochs or cultures more frequently or consistently
than to those of the Roman Empire. It is this quality that has
helped to make them enduring models for builders of later periods.
This extensively illustrated book, the first full-length study of
the concept of monumentality in Classical Antiquity, asks what it
is that the notion encompasses and how significant it was for the
Romans themselves in moulding their individual or collective
aspirations and identities. Although no single word existed in
antiquity for the qualities that modern authors regard as making up
that term, its Latin derivation - from monumentum, 'a monument' -
attests plainly to the presence of the concept in the mentalities
of ancient Romans, and the development of that notion through the
Roman era laid the foundation for the classical ideal of
monumentality, which reached a height in early modern Europe. This
book is also the first full-length study of architecture in the
Antonine Age - when it is generally agreed the Roman Empire was at
its height. By exploring the public architecture of Roman Italy and
both Western and Eastern provinces of the Roman Empire from the
point of view of the benefactors who funded such buildings, the
architects who designed them, and the public who used and
experienced them, Edmund Thomas analyses the reasons why Roman
builders sought to construct monumental buildings and uncovers the
close link between architectural monumentality and the identity and
ideology of the Roman Empire itself.
