By turns witty and inane, crude and learned, scurrilous and
moralistic, jestbooks offer an important and often overlooked
viewpoint on the lives of women in early modern England. This
volume reproduces seven jestbooks with connections to early modern
Englishwomen as well as showing something of the broad genre
itself. Four have a direct connection to women through their jests
and framing (Wyddow Edyth, VVestward for Smelts, Long Meg of
VVestminster, and Pasqvils Iests), excerpts from two books
specifically focus on women in some sections (The Schoolemaster and
Wits Fittes and Fancies) and the volume also includes the extremely
popular, general jestbook (A C. Mery Talys).

The Cause of Pyloric Stenosis of Infancy chronicles the debate
surrounding the cause of pyloric stenosis from its earliest
discovery 300 years ago to the present. The Primary Hyperacidity
Theory offers a credible explanation for all the classical signs
and symptoms of pyloric stenosis as well a its associated features.
In addition, this book comprehensively explores the medical and
surgical treatment options as well as the general features used for
diagnosis. An understanding of the true cause of pyloric stenosis
will thus allow for treatment that is more individualized and
sensitive to patients' needs.

This text explored gay male carers experience of caring for their
partner, brother or friend who had HIV/AIDS. Through using
phenomenological methodology (van Manen, 1990), the day-to-day
caring experiences were uncovered. The data gathered was then
analysed through a nursing lens, with the concept of stigma as an
anchoring point. The dual stigmas of homophobia and AIDS phobia
impacted on the daily lives of these men as they cared for their
loved one. The research identified six themes. These were: 1) the
relationship; 2) coping with HIV and AIDS; 3) the corporal impact
of HIV/AIDS; 4) experiences of carers including the absence of
others; 5) living daily with the virus demands of people living
with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA); and 6) saying goodbye, while keeping the
memory alive. The carers struggled with not only the demands of
day-to-day care, but also with non-acceptance from family, both of
the nature of the relationship with their partner and of their
homosexuality. Family members were forced, often with great
difficulty, to acknowledge the close commitment the men had to each
other.
Synchotron radiation (SR), emitted from high energy electrons as a
light source is now in use around the world to provide brilliant
radiation from the infrared into the soft and hard X-ray regions.
It is an indispensable and essential tool to establish the
physic-chemical characteristics of materials and surfaces from an
atomic and molecular view point. It is being applied to topics
which range from mineralogy to protein crystallography, embracing
research in areas from the physical to the life sciences. This new
guide is a concise yet comprehensive and easily readable
introduction to an expanding area of science. It presents in a
readily assimilable form the basic concepts of SR science from its
generation principles, through source design and operation, and
basic theory of the interaction between light and matter to the
principles of instruments for SR exploitation followed by a survey
of its actual applications in selected research fields, including
spectroscopy, diffractometry, microanalysis, photochemical
processing and imaging.
