To better understand and contextualise the twilight of the Gothic
genre during the 1920s and 1830s, "The History of Gothic
Publishing, 1800-1835: Exhuming the Trade" examines the
disreputable aspects of the Gothic trade from its horrid bluebooks
to the desperate hack writers who created the short tales of
terror. From the Gothic publishers to the circulating libraries,
this study explores the conflict between the canon and the
twilight, and between the disreputable and the moral.
This research volume serves as a comprehensive resource for
psychophysiological research on media responses. It addresses the
theoretical underpinnings, methodological techniques, and most
recent research in this area. It goes beyond current volumes by
placing the research techniques within a context of communication
processes and effects as a field, and demonstrating how the
real-time measurement of physiological responses enhances and
complements more traditional measures of psychological effects from
media.
This volume introduces readers to the theoretical assumptions of
psychophysiology as well as the operational details of collecting
psychophysiological data. In addition to discussing specific
measures, it includes brief reviews of recent experiments that have
used psychophysiological measures to study how the brain processes
media. It will serve as a valuable reference for media researchers
utilizing these methodologies, or for other researchers needing to
understand the theories, history, and methods of
psychophysiological research.

This book aims to be a single point of reference for advances in
the care of geriatric populations across medical and surgical
specialties. The aging population is a unique demographic with its
own health challenges. Geriatricians are specifically trained to
address these challenges but few medical students or residents
enter geriatrics, even as the demand for geriatric expertise
increases. The practices of many medical and surgical specialists
are dominated by older patients who may themselves see many
specialists but rarely visit geriatricians. This updated edition
elucidates the most common medical conditions seen in aging
patients and translates approaches to those conditions for
physicians across specialties. Divided into three sections that
assemble crosscutting issues, medical specialties, and surgical and
related specialties, this book serves as a guide for clinicians of
all backgrounds who will work with older patients as the
demographic ages further. This second edition of Geriatrics for
Specialists expands the number of specialist chapters to reflect
growth in research in aging and clinical care for older people in
dermatology, plastic surgery, and behavioral neurology. All
original chapters from the first edition are extensively revised
and updated to reflect the rapid growth of new knowledge in the
field.
This book focuses on the circumstances that lead to the marked
increased vulnerability of seniors and are most challenging to
clinicians including the presence of multiple chronic medical
conditions, variable losses of physiological function, and
heterogeneity among individuals. Written by the experts who lead
the initiative to deliver high quality surgical and medical care to
the elderly, Geriatrics for Specialists is the first book of its
kind to provide the comprehensive knowledge specialists and
associated generalists need to deliver quality health care to
seniors. With topics on important cross cutting issues like
frailty, delirium and polypharmacy and specialty chapters on
emergency medicine, anesthesia, many surgical and medical
disciplines and rehabilitation, this book provides clinicians the
knowledge and tools needed to evaluate, treat and manage the unique
needs of seniors. Geriatrics for Specialists was created as a
resource for specialist, generalists and allied health
professionals and their students and trainees who care for elderly
patients.
Written with first-line primary care providers in mind, Ham's
Primary Care Geriatrics: A Case-Based Approach, 7th Edition, is a
comprehensive, easy-to-read source of practical clinical guidance
for this rapidly growing population. Using a unique, case-based
approach, it covers the patient presentations you're most likely to
encounter, offering key clinical information, expert advice, and
evidence-based medical guidelines throughout. This highly regarded
text uses a consistent format and an enjoyable writing style to
keep you informed, engaged, and up to date in this increasingly
important field. Uses a case study format that is ideal for
learning, retention, and rapid recall. All case studies are
thoroughly up to date with current references. Features an
interdisciplinary perspective to provide team-oriented knowledge on
the best diagnosis, treatment, and management strategies available
to address the complex needs of older adults. Contains a new
chapter on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) Medicine in
Older Adults, as well as completely revised or rewritten chapters
on rehabilitation, infectious disease, and urinary incontinence.
Provides up-to-date information on key topics such as opioid
management and polypharmacy, the "geriatric emergency room,?
cultural humility in the care of older adults, and the five signs
of problematic substance abuse. Includes key learning objectives
and USMLE-style questions in every chapter. Online extras include
dizziness, gait, and balance video resources, a dermatology quiz,
and a Cognitive Status Assessment with tests and patient teaching
guides. Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your
enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and
references from the book on a variety of devices.

This work follows the study of the ecclesiastical geology of almost
all Anglo-Saxon religious sites throughout England. There, it
proved possible to both understand and distinguish clearly obvious
patterns in the use of stonework, to determine the use and value of
specific rock types, and to illustrate diagnostic features which
could be used to identify building of that period. Subsequent
studies of ecclesiastical sites, in Scotland and the Scottish
Islands, the Isle of Man and Ireland expanded the value of the
English studies by revealing closely analogous examples of the same
indicative features. Beyond the domain of the Anglo-Saxons but of
the same age, they were shown to follow a fashion; to this fashion
the name 'Patterned' was applied.
In this study John Potter provides both an introduction to
ecclesiastical geology in the British Isles, and then applies the
methodology which he has outlined to the analysis of the stonework
of a number of early churches in Ireland. In particular Potter
highlights the use of vertically bedded stonework in pre-Romanesque
churches, drawing parallels between English, Scottish and Irish
examples.
This study takes a geological approach to the study of the flint
walls of Great Yarmouth, generally considered to have been
constructed when the town was at the height of its power and wealth
in the fourteenth century. It shows that in fact the construction
history is far more complex, with virtually the whole of the walls
undergoing regular and extensive rebuilding and repairs.
The late Charlotte Hilton Green was an early and influential
champion of the Tar Heel state's natural environment, and her
popular weekly column, 'Out-of-Doors in Carolina, ' appeared in the
Raleigh "News and Observer" for forty-two years (1932-74). A
classic in the field of popular nature writing, "Birds of the
South" was originally published by UNC Press in 1933, preceding by
a year Roger Tory Peterson's landmark volume, "A Field Guide to the
Birds."
In this engaging collection of her early newspaper columns, Green
details more than sixty varieties of birds common to southern
gardens, fields, and woods. Quotations, poems, and anecdotes
complement the descriptions of each species and help to make the
book accessible even to novice nature lovers.
In a new introduction and appendix, Eloise Potter highlights
Green's enduring contribution to nature study and brings the book's
scientific information up to date.
