La Sorciere, Jules Michelet's celebrated history of witches and
witchcraft from the Middle Ages to the 18th century, is presented
here in English. Originally published by Jules Michelet under the
title `Satanism and Witchcraft', this text seeks to explain the
origins and practices of witchcraft, and how the intermittent
crises regarding witches would emerge in Europe over the centuries.
Demonstrating how witchcraft grew from a mixture of pagan beliefs
and strands of Biblical lore, Michelet creates a compelling
narration, casting the practices as a response to Christianity
which was near-ubiquitous in pre- and post-Renaissance Europe.
Although Michelet's reputation as a historian of the French nation
and the Revolutionary period renders this one of his lesser-known
books, his study remains valuable for its thorough, readable
nature. Well-sourced owing to the author's voracity and resources,
La Sorciere does not flinch from accounting the unusual traditions
and ceremonies of witchery.
From the early years of the African slave trade to America, blacks have lived and labored in urban environments. Yet the transformation of rural blacks into a predominantly urban people is a relatively recent phenomenon – only during World War I did African Americans move into cities in large numbers, and only during World War II did more blacks reside in cities than in the countryside. By the early 1970s, blacks had not only made the transition from rural to urban settings, but were almost evenly distributed between the cities of the North and the West on the one hand and the South on the other. In their quest for full citizenship rights, economic democracy, and release from an oppressive rural past, black southerners turned to urban migration and employment in the nation’s industrial sector as a new “Promised Land” or “Flight from Egypt.” In order to illuminate these transformations in African American urban life, this book brings together urban history; contemporary social, cultural, and policy research; and comparative perspectives on race, ethnicity, and nationality within and across national boundaries.
The book begins by offering a historical analysis of feminist awareness of abuse by considering some of the early challenges and the emerging recognition of the connections between women, children, and abuse. The book then divides into three sections. Section One focuses on contemporary issues and debates such as the protection of children, satanic ritual abuse, and prostitution. Section Two considers practice issues, in particular, conferencing, children, in care, sexuality, work with abusers, and effective communication with abused children with learning difficulties. The book concludes with a suggestion for a new model of practice.
Continues the aim of Structure reports to present critical accounts

The highly sophisticated techniques of modern engineering are
normally conceived of in practical terms. Corresponding to the
instrumental function of technology, they are designed to direct
the forces of nature according to human purposes. Yet, as soon as
the realm of mere skills is exceeded, the intended useful results
can only be achieved through planned and preconceived action
processes involving the deliberately considered application of well
designed tools and devices. This is to say that in all complex
cases theoretical reasoning becomes an indispensable means to
accomplish the pragmatic technological aims. Hence the abstracting
from the actual concrete function of technology opens the way to
concentrate attention on the general conceptual framework involved.
If this approach is adopted the relevant knowledge and the
procedures applied clearly exhibit a logic of their own. This point
of view leads to a methodological and even an epistemological
analysis of the theoretical structure and the specific methods of
procedure characteristic of modern technology. Investigations of
this kind, that can be described as belonging to an ana lytical
philosophy of technology, form the topic of this anthology. The
type of research in question here is closely akin to that of the
philosophy of science. But it is an astonishing fact that the
commonly accepted and carefully investigated philosophy of science
has not yet found its counterpart in an established philosophy of
technology."
Starting with Volume 30, 1965, Structure Reports is produced in a
new format by photo-offset printing from typed manuscript with
unjustified lines. At the time when the decision for this change
was taken, the cost of setting the manuscript in type was becoming
so high as to render the cost of individual subscription pro
hibitive. At that time automatic typing methods giving justified
lines, etc. for photo-offset reproduction did not offer any saving
over type setting, but hand typing of the manuscripts could give a
considerable saving in production costs. In the belief that a
publication that is too expensive to buy is of little value, the
format has been changed sacrificing elegance to availability. The
new format does not lead to increased length of the volumes since
the information content of the typed and typeset pages is
practically identical. How ever, the amount of work to be reported
demands the eventual separation of Structure Reports into two
volumes, A. Metals and Inorganic and B. Organic. It was convenient
to introduce this change also at Volume 30, and with Volume 31
further to restrict the publication of crystal data, so that from
1966 onwards the reports deal almost entirely with complete
structure determinations only. In the past the aim of Structure
Reports has been to present critical reports on all work of
crystallographic structural interest, whether it is derived
directly from X-ray, electron or neutron diffraction, or even
indirectly from other experiments.
In the past the aim of Structure Reports has been to present

reports were in tended to be critical and not mere abstracts,
except in some cases when a brief indication of the content of a
paper of related interest was included in the form of an abstract.
In selecting topics for reporting, the criterion 'of structural
interest' was freely interpreted in terms of what was topically
interesting. However, the amount of Iiterature covering matters of
structural interest became so large that this policy could no

are given only on actual structure deter minations. Only in this
way was it possible to keep yearly volumes to a fairly uniform and
usable size. Starting with Volume 30, Structure Reports is produced

papers (now about 2000 per year in the Organic Section) has

the classifications: binary alloys, ternary alloys (within each of
these classifications, the entries are sorted alphabetically by
formula), hydrides, borides, carbides, silicides, pnictides (N, P,
As), chalcogenides (S, Se, Te) (within each of these classif-
ications, the entries are sorted alphabetically by formula on the
elements other than that of the classification). See 47A, VII for
further details. To find particular substances the metals formula

In More Than Medicine, LaTonya J. Trotter chronicles the everyday
work of a group of nurse practitioners (NPs) working on the front
lines of the American health care crisis as they cared for four
hundred African American older adults living with poor health and
limited means. Trotter describes how these NPs practiced an
inclusive form of care work that addressed medical, social, and
organizational problems that often accompany poverty. In solving
this expanded terrain of problems from inside the clinic, these NPs
were not only solving a broader set of concerns for their patients;
they became a professional solution for managing "difficult people"
for both their employer and the state. Through More Than Medicine,
we discover that the problems found in the NP's exam room are as
much a product of our nation's disinvestment in social problems as
of physician scarcity or rising costs.
This book re-introduces a feminist analysis of child sexual
assault. It will be invaluable to new social work, social care
practitioners as well as senior practitioners, encouraging them to
revisit valuable insights into the sexual violation of children.
The introductory chapter provides an overview of historical
developments whilst following chapters offer critical analyses of
interrelated topics. It concludes with a proposal of a new model
for social work intervention.
