'On the bookshelves, there was plenty of stuff on being gay, and much needed, joyous accounts of what it is to be trans, but nothing really that encapsulates what is it to be both - to exist in the hazy terrain between.' After his relationship with his girlfriend of 5 years ended, Harry realised he was a single adult for the first time - not only that, but a single, transmasculine and newly out gay man. Despite knowing it was the right decision, the reality of his new situation was terrifying. How could he be a gay man, when he was still learning what it was to be a man? Would the gay community embrace him or reject him? What would gay sex be like? And most importantly, would finding love again be possible? In this raw, intimate and unflinchingly honest book, we follow Harry as he navigates the sometimes fraught and contradictory worlds of contemporary gay culture as a trans gay man, from Grindr, dating and gay bars, to saunas, sex and ultimately, falling in love. Harry's brave and uplifting journey will show you there is joy in finding who you are.

This book critically examines how rugby union has developed in recent years, in nations on the periphery of the sport. Focusing on people and places on the fringes, it examines contemporary issues and challenges within the global game. Such a collection is timely, as the sport's governing body seeks to expand influence and participation beyond the eight core nations, with the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan being the first time that that tournament has taken place outside of the core. Presenting case studies from Europe, Africa, North and South America, Asia and the Middle East, this collection offers an interdisciplinary account of a sport that is undergoing a period of significant change. Through examination of topics such as the development of rugby sevens and the growth of women's rugby, it considers what the future may hold for the sport. Rugby in Global Perspective is important reading for students of sport in society, the globalisation of sport, sports studies, sport development and associated fields. It is also a valuable resource for academic researchers working in rugby union or sport in the peripheral rugby nations, as well as those with an interest in cultural geography, sociology, development studies, events studies, event management and sport management.

Originally published in 1990, this account of architectural books printed in Britain surveys a body of complex literature largely uncharted in bibliographical terms. It is however, more than a work of reference, and will fascinate anyone interested in British cultural and social history, the relationship between Britain and continental Europe, and the history of the book trade. For each of the 220 authors covered there is an essay discussing his interests, the purpose and the genesis of his publications. A detailed bibliographical description of the author's architectural publications follows each essay and gives details of the first and subsequent editions of some four hundred titles. The main body of the text is preceded by general essays on books on the Orders, bridges, archaeology, engraving, publishing and bookselling; manuals of carpentry and design; and pattern-books. There are detailed indexes.

This is a new release of the original 1936 edition.

Grandma Asks: Were You Good at School Today? is addressing the importance of having good manners at school and treating your friends with kindness. Grandma is asking her grandson Devon, "Were you good at school today?" to get him to think and understand the importance of not getting angry, even if your friend embarrasses you, and being ready to apologize to your friends if you hurt their feelings. Grandma Asks... will be a series of upcoming children's books that will address important issues and concerns of children that will begin with questions from Grandma. The questions will cover questions that grandmothers from all walks of life will ask their grandchildren at one time or another from infancy through teen years, such as "Did you take your bath?" (addressing the importance of hygiene) and "Do you love your brand new baby brother or sister?" (addressing the importance of sibling love and a connection when a new baby is born).

The problem of development has long been one of the key issues in biology. With stem-cell therapies on the horizon, the reverse engineering of developmental programs promises to become a task of great practical significance. We now understand the general schemes by which transcriptional networks regulate cellular differentiation and morphogenesis. These genetic circuits function as complex state machines which, over the course of development, undergo sequenced transitions that bring cells to specific end states. A variety of different gene-expression assays can be used to follow these transitions. The sensitivity of the assays now in common use limits the resolution with which we can follow the activity of genetic-regulatory networks. This thesis describes two projects aimed at refining an established gene-profiling method, quantitative RT-PCR, so that it can be used to profile transcriptional-network states cross-sectionally within developing cell populations at single-cell resolution. Two advanced qRT-PCR protocols were developed to support these projects, one based on microfluidic digital PCR, the other based on multiplexed pre-amplification PCR.
