Palgrave Advances in Charles Dickens Studies is a comprehensive and
authoritative guide to the study of one of the most important
Victorian novelists. Its editors, Robert L. Patten and John Bowen,
are leading authorities on Dickens and the international team of
contributors they have assembled contains some of the most exciting
critics of nineteenth-century fiction writing today. The book
covers the whole range of Dickens's writing and criticism about it,
including biographical, theoretical and historical approaches. It
is based on up-to-the-minute research and written in a lively and
engaging way, and will be essential reading for all students and
scholars of this canonical writer.
The book aims to review knowledge on the disorders of eating
behaviour and body composition in some of the non-primate higher
animals and to relate these to similar conditions in humans. With
advances in understanding the nature of these disorders and their
biological basis, it seems timely to assess what cross-species
comparisons can tell us about the general underlying factors at
work. This may also help to delineate what may be a general
biological basis that humans share with their higher animal comrade
species and what may distinguish human from non-human, particularly
in a cultural context. This could help in combating better the
problems of these conditions in the animal species as well as in
man and in suggesting well-based preventive measures. As far as
people are concerned the last two decades of the 20th century have
shown a significant increase in obesity in the richer countries,
particularly the USA (Table 1). Possibly associated with the
obesity boom, there is an increasing awareness of other disorders
of eating behaviour and body composition. These range from anorexia
nervosa, at the other end of body composition to obesity, to
others, such as bulimia, with more variable effects on body
composition.
In 1979 the International Rel'iel1' of Education celebrated its
twenty-fifth anniversary. This book which now reproduces the two
Jubilee issues of that Review has been published for a number of
reasons. One is the importance of the topics dealt with. The last
twenty-five years have seen unprecedented developments in education
right across the world, in industrialised countries no less than in
those which are still approaching that phase. From time to time it
is essential to look back over the past and take stock of how the
present situation has come about, to disentangle the trends and
sort out from the welter of ideas those which turned out to be
non-starters, those which died in their tracks, and those which
came to stay. This is only possible after a certain passage of time
has set events in proportion and in perspective. The twenty-five
years which have elapsed since the IRE was started ten years after
the ending of World War II would seem to be just long enough to
make this possible, though when the IRE celebrates its fiftieth
Jubilee in the year 2004 some of the trends which now seem so
definite may themselves have died away to be replaced by others
which can now be only dimly conceived. Another reason for this
publication is the quality and standing in the world of education
and scholarship of the two editors and their contributors.

Brought together in one volume, this trilogy on the subject of
Christian faith is one of the most important works of the
Evangelical Revival of the 18th century. This is one of the leading
works of evangelical religion of the 18th century, bringing
together William Romaine's trilogy of writings on the subject of
Christian faith. Together, they provide both a compelling statement
of, and a profound insight into, 18th century evangelical thought.
Through his writing and preaching, William Romaine's pulpit became
a rallying place in London for all who esteemed evangelical truth,
and in both learning and zeal, it was said of him that few men
equalled him, and fewer still surpassed.
