Whether a secularized morality, biblical worldview, or unstated set of mores, the Victorian period can and always will be distinguished from those before and after for its pervasive sense of the "proper way" of thinking, speaking, doing, and acting. Animals in literature taught Victorian children how to be behave. If you are a postmodern posthumanist, you might argue, "But the animals in literature did not write their own accounts." Animal characters may be the creations of writers' imagination, but animals did and do exist in their own right, as did and do humans. The original essays in Animals and Their Children in Victorian explore the representation of animals in children's literature by resisting an anthropomorphized perception of them. Instead of focusing on the domestication of animals, this book analyzes how animals in literature "civilize" children, teaching them how to get along with fellow creatures-both human and nonhuman.

"This is a very exciting collection that will fill an important gap in what has emerged in comparative studies of women and Latin American democracies. Maier and Lebon provide provocative overview essays, and the chapters trace a range of cases from Argentina and Brazil to Nicaragua and Venezuela, showing how institutions, leaders, and culture all shape the opportunities and challenges women face."-Jane Jaquette, editor of Feminist Agendas and Democracy in Latin America Women's Activism in Latin America and the Caribbean brings together a group of interdisciplinary scholars who analyze and document the diversity, vibrancy, and effectiveness of women's experiences and organizing in Latin America and the Caribbean during the past four decades. Most of the expressions of collective agency are analyzed in this book within the context of the neoliberal model of globalization that has seriously affected most Latin American and Caribbean women's lives in multiple ways. Contributors explore the emergence of the area's feminist movements, dictatorships of the 1970s, the Central American uprisings, the urban, grassroots organizing for better living conditions, and, finally, the turn toward public policy and formal political involvement and the alternative globalization movement. Geared toward bridging cultural realities, this volume represents women's transformations, challenges, and hopes, while considering the analytical tools needed to dissect the realities, understand the alternatives, and promote gender democracy. ELIZABETH MAIER is a researcher and professor of gender studies at the Colegio de la Frontera Norte (Colef) in Mexico and former chair of the Gender and Feminist Studies Section of the Latin American Studies Association. NATHALIE LEBON is an assistant professor of women, gender, and sexuality studies and affiliated with the Latin American Studies program at Gettysburg College.
Chemotherapie-induzierte Ubelkeit und Erbrechen bedeuten eine starke Einschrankung fur Patienten. Informationen, Verhaltensinterventionen und Akupressur sind Handlungsfelder mit denen Pflegepersonen den Patienten Hilfestellung bieten konnen. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Identifikation von wissenschaftlich fundierten, pflegerelevanten Massnahmen zur Pravention und Linderung von chemotherapie-induzierter Ubelkeit und Erbrechen. Die Ergebnisse von 13 Studien zeigen die Effektivitat von Akupressur, Informations- und Verhaltensinterventionen auf chemotherapie-induzierte Ubelkeit und Erbrechen. Informationsinterventionen wirken sich vor allem auf die Erwartungsbildung positiv aus. Verhaltensinterventionen zeigen vorwiegend im Bereich antizipatorischer Ubelkeit und Erbrechen Erfolge. Akupressur hat einen positiven Einfluss auf akute und verzogerte Ubelkeit und Erbrechen
