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.
Psychoanalytic Approaches to Loss: Mourning, Melancholia and
Couples applies psychoanalytic ideas to the clinically complex
issue of loss in couples and families and outlines a new model for
the treatment of associated unresolved grief. In line with
contemporary approaches to couple and family psychoanalysis, this
integrated object relations and link theory model provides a clear
framework and approach for assessing and treating this clinical
presentation. The book brings together contributions from
internationally known and respected clinicians and authors who
focus on loss, including repeated pregnancy loss, the loss of a
child or parent and the loss of a relationship itself. These
psychoanalytic couple therapists take the reader inside their
consulting rooms, enabling observation of their approaches to the
treatment of couples experiencing loss and associated unresolved
grief. Psychoanalytic Approaches to Loss: Mourning, Melancholia and
Couples will make an important contribution to the literature on
grief and mourning and the application of psychoanalytic thinking
to couples presenting with difficulties linked to unresolved grief,
following loss. It represents an essential resource to
psychotherapists, counsellors, family therapists, mental health
professionals and many others supporting those experiencing loss.

This collection of essays offers a unique contribution to the study
of violence and justice in a late medieval and early modern Italy
by combining a multivocal perspective with a case-study focus on
the city-state of Bologna. Drawing on the city's singularly rich
archival resources, the authors explore various facets of
violence-ranging from the interpersonal to the less frequently
studied typologies of blasphemy, rape, political rebellion, and
student brawls-and set the institutions of the police and law
courts into their socio-political and cultural contexts. They also
apply a broad variety of quantitative and qualitative
approaches-processual, microhistorical, legalism, comparative and
criminological-to their assessments of the procedures and practices
of criminal justice and the experiences of violent behavior,
providing both short-term, in-depth analyses of specific events and
over-arching reviews of long-term trends. Bologna itself, with its
renowned university, economic innovations, strategic importance as
a commercial and cultural crossroads, its political volatility and
experiments with diverse constitutional structures, provides a
rewarding laboratory for analyzing changes and continuities in late
medieval and early modern violence and justice. From these studies
emerges a narrative that challenges the traditional portrayal of
those periods as eras when brutality and rage were "normal" in
social relations and criminal justice was characterized mainly by
punitive strategies of torture and repression.

Medieval states are widely assumed to have lacked police forces.
Yet in the Italian city-republics, soldiers patrolled the streets
daily in search of lawbreakers. Police Power in the Italian
Communes, 1228-1326 is the first book to examine the emergence of
urban policing in medieval Italy and its impact on city life.
Focusing on Bologna in the thirteenth and early fourteenth
centuries, Gregory Roberts shows how police forces gave teeth to
the communes' many statutes through a range of patrol activities.
Whether seeking outlaws in the countryside or nighttime serenaders
in the streets, urban police forces pursued lawbreakers
energetically and effectively. They charged hundreds of individuals
each year with arms-bearing, gambling, and curfew violations,
convicting many of them in the process. Roberts draws on a trove of
unpublished evidence from judicial archives, rich with witness
testimony, to paint a vivid picture of policing in daily life and
the capacity of urban governments to coerce. Breaking new ground in
the study of violence, justice, and state formation in the Middle
Ages, Police Power in the Italian Communes sheds fresh light on the
question of how ostensibly modern institutions emerge from
premodern social orders.
Zu Beginn des Weltkrieges, d. h. beirn. AbschluB der wirtschafts
geschichtlichen Periode, die wir als eine "normale" zu empfinden
pflegen, hatte es den Anschein, als ob das Silber seine Rolle als
selbstandiges Wahrungsmetall bald ausgespielt haben wiirde. Nach
einer kurzen Bliite unmittelbar im AnschluB an den Welt krieg, die
wesentlich durch die damals in den meisten Landern herrschende
Papier-Inflation bedingt war, ist das Silber als Wahrungsmetall
wieder in den Hintergrund getreten. Allerdings tauschte man sich
insofern, als man mit dem baldigen Uber gang Chinas zu irgendeiner
Form der Goldwahrung rechnete; in Wirklichkeit muBten die Verarmung
des Chinesischen Reiches infolge von Biirgerkriegen und die Hemmung
der kapitalistischen Entwicklung des Landes ein Festhalten an den
primitiven Wah rungsverhaltnissen zur Folge haben. Dazu kam, daB in
Indien, trotz der Degradierung des Silbers yom frei auspragbaren
Wah rungsmetall zum effektiven Trager einer "gesperrten" Wahrung
und trotz seines teilweisen Ersatzes durch andere Zahlungs mittel,
dem Silber eine gewisse monetare Rolle, nam1ich als
"Wertaufbewahrungsmittel," verblieb, deren Bedeutung in guten
Zeiten naturgemaB unterschii. tzt wird. Diese beiden Tatsachen
allein diirften geniigen, um das wissenschaftliche und praktische
Interesse des Wahrungspolitikers dem Silber nicht ganz zu ent
ziehen. Neuerdings treten aber noch andere Momente hinzu. Vor allem
hat in Amerika, aber auch in England die von dortigen
Silberminen-Interessenten betriebene und wohl auch finanzierte
Agitation die bimetallistische Bewegung, die man bereits fiir be
graben halten konnte, wieder entfacht."
