This volume seeks to illustrate the fundamental role of language
in political action, focusing on the war in Iraq. It combines
quantitative methods, based on a sophisticated modular corpus that
was queried through special software with the aim of identifying
regularly occurring lexical and semantic patterns, with classical
discourse analysis, which seeks to investigate naturally occurring
language in the context in which it is produced. Interpreting the
field of politics quite widely, to include news reporting and a
quasi-judicial inquiry into the behavior of politicians and
journalists, discourses in the USA and the UK are considered. The
central purpose of the volume is to gain insights not just into
language, and the ways in which we can investigate it through a
corpus, but also into the ways in which political action is
realized through discourse.
With fifty trillion in worldwide assets, the growth of mutual funds
is a truly global phenomenon and deserves a broad international
analysis. Local political economies and legal regimes create
different regulatory preferences for the oversight of these funds,
and academics, public officials and legal practitioners wishing to
understand the global investing environment will require a keen
awareness of these international differences. The contributors,
leading scholars in the field of investment law from around the
world, provide a current legal analysis of funds from a variety of
perspectives and using an array of methodologies that consider the
large fundamental questions governing the role and regulation of
investment funds. This volume also explores the identity and
behavior of investors as well as issues surrounding less orthodox
funds, such as money market funds, ETFs, and private funds. This
Handbook will provide legal and financial scholars, academics,
lawyers and regulators with a vital tool for working with mutual
funds. Contributors include: W.A. Birdthistle, M. Bullard, I.H-Y
Chiu, B. Clarke, Q. Curtis, D.A. DeMott, J. Fanto, J.E. Fisch, P.
Hanrahan, L.P.Q. Johnson, W.A. Kaal, A.K. Krug, A.B. Laby, J.D.

The first edition of "Textbook of Men's Health" did much to
establish and define the scope of the emerging subspecialty of
aging men's health. This revised and updated edition offers a
unique overview of the male health and offers valuable insights for
improved management and critical care.The central mission of the
new edition is to unpick normal physiologic aging in men from
pathologic processes, eschewing any material that is routinely
available in the standard textbooks of medicine and geriatrics in
order to maintain a uniquely male perspective. This means a focus
on the age-related decline in sex steroids and other hormones and
the pathological and clinical consequences. Wherever possible, the
book records consensus on diagnostic criteria, emphasizes
evidence-based medicine and highlights translational science.

"Immunopharmacology" , why not "pharmacoimmunology"? Professor H.
O. Schild University College London, 1962 An intact immune response
is essential for survival, as is evidenced by the various innate
immune deficiency syndromes and by the emergence of the acquired
immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) as a pandemic during the last
decade. Substances which stimulate the immune response might
contribute to the therapy of AIDS and its precursor, AIDS-related
syndrome, as well as of other clinical conditions in which immune
responses can be diminished, such as carcinoma and infections. In
other circumstances, an intact or heightened immune response may
pose clinical problems; hence there is need to suppress, or
diminish, components of the immune response. For instance, it is
necessary to impair cellular immunity in order to ensure lasting
acceptance of heterografts and it is already established that
agents effective in transplantation are therapeutically effective
in an range of autoimmune diseases. More recently, experimental
studies have indicated that aberrant manifestations of humoral
immunity, as in allergies, may also be amenable to pharmacological
intervention.
