A study of British foreign policy in the years after the 1919 Paris
Peace Conference. Policy towards Western and Eastern Europe,
Russia, Turkey, the Middle East, USA and the Far East is examined
alongside themes such as the role of Prime Minister, Foreign
Secretary and Cabinet in policy formulation. The evolution and
execution of policy is set alongside the limitations imposed on
British statesment by the dominions, armed forces, economic
weakness and domestic politics.
, Adrenal and Endocrine Tumors in Children' is the third volume in
the series, 'Cancer Treatment and Research' devoted to pediatric
oncology. Like its predecessors, it is organized into two sections.
The first section again deals with issues of basic research germane
to the understanding of childhood malignancies. In volume 3, the
scope of the first section has been broadened to include a review
that is epidemiologically oriented and a second review that is
psychologically oriented. In the second part, major pediatric
oncology units in Japan, Australia, Europe and the Americas have
been invited to report their experience with of the multiple
endocrine adrenal cortical carcinomas and the presentation
neoplasia syndromes in children. In addition to these institutional
reports of case material, there are reviews on genetics, pathology,
and a diagnostic evaluation of children. The overview chapter on
adrenal cortical carcinoma includes recommendations for
radiotherapy from Dr. D' Angio and for che motherapy from Dr.
Philip Schein. Individuals using these recommended therapies are
encouraged to report their results to the editors. The informa tion
will then be made available to others on request. List of

This book introduces critical mapping as a problem-focused design
approach for analyzing systemic societal problems like food, to
scope out existing solutions, and find opportunities for
sustainable design intervention. This book puts forth a framework
entitled 'wicked solutions' that can be applied to determine issues
that designers should address to make real differences in the world
and yield sustainable change. The book assesses the current role of
design in attaining food security in a sustainable, equitable, and
just manner. Accomplishing this goal is not simple, if it was, it
would not be called a wicked problem. But this book shows how a
particular repertoire of design tools can be deployed to find
solutions and strategize the development of novel outcomes within a
complex and interconnected terrain. To address the wicked problem
of food insecurity, inequity, and injustice, this book highlights
seventy three peer-reviewed design outcomes that epitomize
sustainable food design. This includes local and regional
sustainable design outcomes funded or supported by public or
private institutions and local and widespread design outcomes
created by citizens. In doing so, this book sets the stage for an
evidence-driven and -informed design future that facilitates the
designers' visualization of wicked solutions to complex social
problems, such as food insecurity. Drawing on an array of case
studies from across the world, from urban rooftop farms and
community cookers to mobile apps and food design cards, this book
provides vitally important information about existing sustainable
food design outcomes in a way that is organized, accessible, and
informative. This book will be of great interest to academics and
professionals working in the field of design and sustainable food
systems. Students interested in learning about food and
sustainability from across design studies, food studies, innovation
and entrepreneurship, urban studies and global development will
also find this book of great use.
Over a half-century after the death of Roosevelt the debate on his
presidency and the New Deal remains vibrant, for in many ways he
created the modern presidency and he remains a giant of American
political history. This book, specifically designed for sixth-form
and undergraduate use, serves as an essential introduction to his
domestic policy during his tenure from the struggles of the
Depression to the outbreak of the Second World War. Incorporating
archival discoveries at the Roosevelt Presidential Library, this
documentary collection focuses on the debates and controversies
surrounding the implementation and practice of New Deal policies.
It highlights the meanings, flaws and outcomes of Roosevelt's
attempts to refashion American society. With an extensive
contextualising introduction, the book reproduces extracts from a
variety of sources including Government records, public addresses
and speeches and the private papers of Roosevelt and some of his
closest associates. -- .

Osteosarcoma in Adolescents and Young Adults: New Developments and
Controversies is the fifth volume in the series Cancer Treatment,
and Research' devoted to pediatric oncology. Like its immediate
predecessor, Hodgkin's Disease in Children: Controversies and
Current Practice, this volume also deals with the current state of
affairs: where do researchers differ in opinions or firmly held
beliefs? What does the future hold for research or for the patients
who have benefited from research and are now cured? etc. The first
part deals with preclinical and clinical issues that relate to the
disease and the second part deals with the results of recent trials
and in some cases ongoing trials. It could be argued that section B
Pharmacology, Section D Radiotherapy and Section E Surgery of part
one belong to part two; however in these sections we have tried to
focus on one discipline and in part two, we have tried to focus on
the results of multidisciplinary trials. A third part includes a
few critiques and editorial comments. This volume was prepared and
planned for both basic and clinical oncologists. It is hoped that
the basic scientists will gain some insight into the problems of
their clinical colleagues and that the clinicians will be willing
to read to the more basic articles. It is not a text for students
(or for that matter physicians) who want all things to be laid out
in black and white'. But it is a text for those students who want
to know how vibrant this field of research is and are willing to
stand in awe of how much research needs to be done.

The first scholarly edition of the complete works of Jane
Cavendish, this volume presents as complete a collection as
possible of works and historical documents pertaining to a
particularly compelling figure from the English Civil War. These
include two manuscript poem and play collections, family letters to
and from Jane, dating from after the Civil War years, and important
estate papers. Jane Cavendish and her nearest sister, Elizabeth
Brackley, are the only known collaborative female dramatists of the
early modern period, and the co-composers of the first extant stage
comedy by women in English. Most of Jane's extant verse and
dramatic works were composed when the fighting of the English Civil
War was at its most intense. Her works are, therefore, particularly
valuable to both literary and historical researchers of the period
because they simultaneously play with established literary
conventions and convey much first-hand information about the
conditions of aristocratic life during and immediately after the
seventeenth-century national meltdown. The introduction offers as
comprehensive a biography of Jane Cavendish as possible, focusing
primarily on Jane's childhood, education, and conduct during the
Civil War, as well as her married life after the war years. Of
particular interest among the documents that follow is an
account-book including entries from Jane's teenage years as well as
her early married life; it portrays vividly what a young lady of
her status owned in terms of clothes and jewels, as well as what a
newly married woman had to acquire upon setting up a new household.
An examination of Britain's relations with China from the end of
the World War II to the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950. This
volume demonstrates how Britain's effort to recover something of
its pre-war commercial pre-eminence in China were handicapped by
its post-war financial weakness.
Treating Drug Abusers provides a clear, practical guide to current
approaches in the treatment of drug-taking. Written by
practitioners for practitioners, it takes a psychological
perspective to the problem. The authors include detailed case
studies of particular treatments, focusing on, among other things,
relapse and its prevention, family therapy, and the transmission of
the HIV virus.

The most comprehensive work on dissimilation (the avoidance or
repair of combinations of similar sounds) to date, this book
proposes a novel analysis that handles dissimilation as the
avoidance of surface correspondence relationships. It draws on
recent work in Agreement By Correspondence to show that
dissimilation is a natural outcome predicted by the same theory of
Surface Correspondence. The theory is developed in more detail than
ever before, and its predictions are tested and evaluated through
ten in-depth analyses of diverse languages from Quechua to
Kinyarwanda, together with a typological survey of over 150
dissimilation patterns drawn from over 130 languages, from Acehnese
to Zulu. The book redefines the core of Surface Correspondence
theory to a level of formal specificity and theoretical precision
surpassing previous work. The book's findings are made more
accessible by numerous examples featuring data from 47 languages
from around the world.

Where do you begin to look for a recent, authoritative article on
the diagnosis or management of particular malignancy? The few
general oncol ogy textbooks are generally out of date. Single
papers in specialized journals are informative but seldom
comprehensive; these are more often prelimin ary reports on a very
limited number of patients. Certain general journals frequently
publish good in-depth reviews of cancer topics, and published
symposium lectures are often the best overviews available.
Unfortunately, these reviews and supplements appear sporadically,
and the reader can never be sure when a topic of special interest
will be covered. Cancer Treatment and Research is a series of
authoritative volumes that aim to meet this need. It is an attempt
to establish a critical mass of oncology literature covering
virtually all oncology topics, revised frequently to keep the
coverage up to date, easily available on a single library shelf or
by a single personal subscription. We have approached the problem
in the following fashion. First, by dividing the oncology
literature into specific subdivisions such as lung can cer,
genitourinary cancer, pediatric oncology, etc. Second, by asking
emin ent authorities in each of these areas to edit a volume on the
specific topic on an annual or biannual basis. Each topic and tumor
type is covered in a volume appearing frequently and predictably,
discussing current diagnosis, staging, markers, all forms of
treatment modalities, basic biology, and more."

How can religious and health care organizations work together to
create community-based health care programs? Because health care
works best when patients assume greater responsibility for their
own health, community outreach and patient education are essential.
But where can health care organizations find the resources to
educate large numbers of people about chronic diseases? How can
they tailor programs to meet the needs of increasingly diverse
communities? And how can they reach people who have no ties to the
health care system? Building Healthy Communities through
Medical-Religious Partnerships presents an innovative approach to
community-based health education and patient advocacy programs
targeted at the prevention and management of disease. Offering
valuable guidance for religious and medical leaders interested in
developing programs in their congregations and communities, the
book includes practical and accessible information for establishing
health education programs, identifies additional resources that can
be obtained from local and national organizations, and discusses a
range of medical topics. It also outlines how to train volunteers
to assist others in navigating our complex health system. This
latest edition, which has been thoroughly revised and updated,
incorporates * new chapters on medical topics across the lifespan,
including lung disease, kidney disease, and child and adolescent
health issues; * a thorough assessment of medical-religious
partnerships that have emerged over the past twenty-five years; and
* a user-friendly website with downloadable resources-including an
instructor's guide, PowerPoint slides, and ready-made handouts.
