Unilateral neglect is a fairly common disorder, usually associated
with a stroke, which results in a neglect or lack of attention to
one side of space usually, but not exclusively, the left.
Theoretically, it is one of the most interesting and important
areas in neuropsychology; practically, it is one of the greatest
therapeutic problems facing therapists and rehabilitationists. This
book covers all aspects of the disorder, from an historical survey
of research to date, through the nature and anatomical bases of
neglect, and on to review contemporary theories on the subject. The
final section covers behavioural and physical remediation. A
greater understanding of unilateral neglect will have important
implications not just for this particular disorder but for the
understanding of brain function as a whole.

Covering a period of nearly 40 years' work by the author this
collection of essays in the Shifting Paradigms in Early English
Drama Studies series brings the perspective of a Drama academic and
practitioner of early English plays to the understanding of how
medieval plays and Robin Hood games of the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries were performed. It explores why, where, when, and how the
plays happened, who took part, and who were the audiences. The
insights are informed by a combination of research and the public
presentation of surviving texts. The research included in the
volume unites the early English experiences of religious and
secular performance. This recognition challenges the dominant
critical distinction of the past between the two and the consequent
privileging of biblical and moral plays over secular
entertainments. What further binds, rather than separates, the two
is that the destination of funds raised by the different activities
maintained the civic and parochial needs of the institutions upon
which the people depended. This collection redefines the inclusive
nature and common interests of the purposes that lay behind
generically different undertakings. They shared an extraordinary
investment of human and financial resources in the anticipation of
a profit that was pious and practical. (CS1081).

and mint-in-package prices.
Collected Studies CS1069 The essays selected for this volume
reflect Peter Meredith's major contribution to the revival and
revision of academic and public interest in medieval English drama
and theatre. A number of coinciding factors in the last quarter of
the twentieth century brought together a group of scholars,
represented here in the Shifting Paradigms series, determined to
place the study of medieval drama in a broader context than that of
solely reading texts. The publication of Records of Early English
Drama, the University of Leeds facsimiles of medieval drama
manuscripts, the establishment of the journal and annual meetings
of Medieval English Theatre, brought a wider perspective to the
discipline. And, by no means least, the bringing to bear of all
these ground-breaking developments to the mammoth tasks of
recreating in the public domain the original-staging of medieval
plays. Peter Meredith had a hand in the formation and lasting
influence of all these crucial innovations. The variety and depth
of his comprehensive approach to the study of medieval drama and
theatre is clearly evinced in each of the essays chosen for this
volume.

The book discusses the 'state trial' as a legal process, a public
spectacle, and a point of political conflict - a key part of how
constitutional monarchy became constitutional. State trials
provided some of the leading media events of later Stuart England.
The more important of these trials attracted substantial public
attention, serving as pivot points in the relationship between the
state and its subjects. Later Stuart England has been known among
legal historians for a series of key cases in which juries asserted
their independence from judges. In political history, the
government's sometimes shaky control over political trials in this
period has long been taken as a sign of the waning power of the
Crown. This book revisits the process by which the 'state trial'
emerged as a legal proceeding, a public spectacle, a point of
political conflict, and ultimately, a new literary genre. It
investigates the trials as events, as texts, and as moments in the
creation of historical memory. By the early nineteenth century, the
publication and republication of accounts of the state trials had
become a standard part of the way in which modern Britons imagined
how their constitutional monarchy had superseded the absolutist
pretensions of the Stuart monarchs. This book explores how the
later Stuart state trials helped to create that world.

The phenomena of motivation cannot be studied separately as an
independent research topic because motivation is highly
interrelated to cognition, emotion, learning, and decision-making
process. The overarching aim of this volume, therefore, is to
provide new insight into a unified grand theory of motivation by
integrating noteworthy neuroscience research findings on
motivation. This volume is dedicated to advancing our understanding
of brain mechanisms of underlying various motivational phenomena,
including reward, approach, autonomy, intrinsic motivation,
learning, effort, curiosity, and self-control. The volume is
divided into four parts: The first part introduces classical but
fundamental issues such as reward, approach, and individual
differences. The second part deals with intrinsic motivation
including autonomy and curiosity. The third one examines recent
approaches on the interface between motivation and cognition in
learning and decision-making. The last part focuses on practically
significant issues pertaining to self-regulation development.
Sir John Marshall (1876-1958) was a British archaeologist who was
the Director-General of the Archaeological Survey of India from
1902 to 1928. First published in 1960, as the fourth edition of a
1918 original, this book was written to provide a concise guide to
the ruins of Taxila, excavation of which was led by Marshall. The
introductory chapters give the topographical and historical
background, and the main body of the work discusses the various
groups of buildings and the material they were found to contain.
Numerous illustrative figures, a glossary of technical terms and a
bibliography are also included. This book will be of value to
anyone with an interest in Taxila and archaeology.
John Marshall (c.1784 1837) was a naval officer and biographer. He
first went to sea at the age of nine, and by the end of the
Napoleonic Wars in 1815 had reached the rank of lieutenant. After
the war, he started to research the lives of contemporary
high-ranking naval officers, some of whose service reached as far
back as 1760. These volumes, first published between 1823 and 1830,
contain the results of this monumental research, and demonstrate
the new 'cult' of the navy in the early nineteenth century. Some of
the biographies were contributed by the officers themselves, with
others containing private or official letters and other records.
