This book will, it is hoped, fill the gap between cur rent, smaller texts on dermatology and the standard, large reference books. It should be helpful to those embarking on a career in dermatology and to general practitioners and primary physicians with a special interest in this field. In this book the emphasis is on clinical aspects of skin diseases, and it is assumed that the reader has some knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the skin. The differential diagnosis of each disorder is extensively discussed and sex predilection and age of onset are illustrated diagrammatically. As in other branches of medicine, treatments are now frequently changing and these are fully covered. Aetiological factors in skin disorders are now becoming clearer and separate sections on this subject are discussed for each disease. Prognosis and natural history are not always adequately covered in texts on derma tology, so these topics are set out under separate headings. A small number of the illustrations have been loaned from colleagues and institutions, and we gratefully acknowledge this assistance from the following: The Wellcome Museum of Medical Science; Photographic Department, Institute of Dermatology, St John's Hospital; Dr Roger Clayton; Dr W. H. Jopling; and Dr P. Rodin. We are also grateful to the staff of MTP for their assistance in preparing this book."

DDDDDDDDDDDD Effective management logically follows accurate diagnosis. Such logic often is difficult to apply in practice. Absolute diagnostic accuracy may not be possible, particularly in the field of primary care, when management has to be on analysis of symptoms and on knowledge of the individual patient and family. This series follows that on Problems in Practice which was con cerned more with diagnosis in the widest sense and this series deals more definitively with general care and specific treatment of symp toms and diseases. Good management must include knowledge of the nature, course and outcome of the conditions, as well as prominent clinical features and assessment and investigations, but the emphasis is on what to do best for the patient. Family medical practitioners have particular difficulties and advantages in their work. Because they often work in professional isolation in the community and deal with relatively small numbers of near-normal patients their experience with the more serious and more rare conditions is restricted. They find it difficult to remain up-to-date with medical advances and even more difficult to decide on the suitability and application of new and relatively untried methods compared with those that are 'old' and well proven. vii Their advantages are that because of long-term continuous care for their patients they have come to know them and their families well and are able to become familiar with the more common and less serious diseases of their communities.

This small book gives a remarkably detailed history of the people and the establishment of Forsyth County, which is the home of Winston-Salem. This land had many owners as the result of a series of royal bequests, land patents and proprietorships. In 1753, Moravians came from Germany via Pennsylvania and began to settle on a tract of land that they called Wachovia. Other pioneers and settlements soon followed at Kernersville, Friedberg, Friedland and Hope. Eventually, townships were formed, civic groups convened, and a tract was chosen on which to build a county courthouse. Leading citizens are named throughout this history, which also discusses the county militia, the Civil War and the formation of township lines. North Carolina's secession from the Union is covered, as well as Forsyth County's role in the Civil War. No battles were fought there, but it was used as a place of refuge and supply for the Rebel Army and hundreds of men from Forsyth County joined the Confederate cause. Various Forsyth County regimental commanders of the Civil War are named. Several maps illustrate the evolution of the county. Two courthouses are also illustrated. The original subject index contains important places, events and names.

Nitschmann and Korte at once went ashore to report their arrival to Secretary Verelst, and on Monday a house was rented, and the twenty-five colonists and Jonas Korte moved into it, to wait for the sailing of Gen. Oglethorpe's ship, the General having offered them berths on his own vessel. The General was out of town when they reached London, but called on Monday evening, and showed them every kindness, -- "Oglethorpe is indeed our good friend, and cares for us like a father."

The Moravian Brethren are one of the most notable of the pietistic sects to emerge from the Protestant Reformation. Mrs. Fries here documents the brief history of the Moravian community in Georgia, commencing with an overview of the sect and continuing through the negotiations between Brethren leader August Spangenburg and Georgia founder General James Oglethorpe, establishment of the Brethren community in Savannah, missionary work among the Creeks, and the departure of the Moravians for England, Pennsylvania, and other locations. Genealogists will find numerous references to transfers of land involving the Moravians, settlement maps, passenger lists of Moravian arrivals, a brief list of Moravian deaths in Georgia, and a name index to the persons mentioned in the text.

Adelaide Fries (1871 - 1949) was a scholar who devoted her life to the study of the Moravians in the southern United States. The Moravians in Georgia covers the period from 1735 to 1740. In 1911 Fries was appointed archivist for the Moravian church and continued this work until her death. Her best known work was The Road to Salem (1944) which was the story of Anna Catharine Ernst. This autobiography was based on diaries and records kept by church leaders. The Moravians in Georgia is an excellent reference book for those interested in Southern history and the contributions of the Moravian church.

Countering dire pronouncements of the irrelevance of African American institutions, Teresa L. Fry Brown celebrates the way African American women continue, often invisibly, the task of passing on moral wisdom in African-American families, churches, and communities.
The book begins with the author s analysis of intergenerational transmission of spiritual values as depicted in selected African American women s literature written since 1960 (gospel music, poems, novels, short stories, and autobiography). An interpretive framework is grounded in three ethical presuppositions based on traditional African American spiritual values, African American Theology and Ethics, Womanist Christology and Ethics, and values culled from the author s own experience and religious beliefs."

Why is the horror genre in film and literature so perennially popular? Why do we enjoy vicarious fear? The parallel fields of sociobiology and evolutionary psychology offer an approach to unraveling this conundrum. A new generation of Darwinists expands on the hypothesis that evolution created our physical forms. They posit that behaviors from our primal ancestors that favored survival and adaptation through natural selection would have been incorporated into our genetic heritage. Echoes from their adaptation would at least influence, but not control, our actions, decisions and thoughts today. Evolutionary critics believe that whispers of adaptive behavior influence our taste in film and literature to create enduring narratives. Primal Dreams, Primal Screams explores the impact of six primal narratives that recur in the horror genre to create its enduring appeal: territoriality, tribalism, fear of genetic assimilation, mating rituals, fear of the predator and distrust or fear of the Other. Evolutionary criticism tells us much about our tastes in the arts. But an understanding of how primal narratives influence our response to films or novels that enact them also leads us to a new understanding of human nature and how the adaptive strategies of our ancestors can create dysfunction in a modern setting.
