This book examines the many ethical issues that are encountered in
the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). It supports
pediatricians, nurses, residents, and other providers in their
daily management of critically ill children with the dilemmas that
arise. It begins by examining the evolution of pediatric critical
care, and who is now impacted by this advancing medical technology.
Subsequent chapters explore specific ethical concerns and
controversies that are commonly encountered. These topics include
how to conduct end-of-life discussions with families facing a
myriad of challenging choices. It goes on to explore the concept of
futility, and what that does and does not mean in the pediatric ICU
setting. Controversial subjects such as children as organ donors,
particularly using donation after cardiac death, in addition to
issues surrounding the declaration of brain death are covered.
Additional chapters address resource allocation, and also analyze
the use of long-term technology in chronically critically ill
children. Chapters include case examples with guidance on how to
work through similar difficulties and decision-making. While this
book is specifically targeted for care providers at the ICU
bedside, it is also of benefit to medical students, students in
bioethics, practicing ethical consultants and families who are
dealing with critically ill children.
The greatest haunted house story ever written, the inspiration for a 10-part Netflix series directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Michiel Huisman, Carla Gugino, and Timothy Hutton
First published in 1959, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror. It is the story of four seekers who arrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of a "haunting"; Theodora, his lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill House is gathering its powers—and soon it will choose one of them to make its own.
This spirited and engaging multidisciplinary volume pins its focus
on the lived experiences and cultural depictions of women's
mobility and labor in Japan. The theme of "modern girls" continues
to offer a captivating window into the changes that women's roles
have undergone during the course of the last century.
Here we encounter Japanese women inhabiting the most modern of
spaces, in newly created professions, moving upward and outward,
claiming the public life as their own: shop girls, elevator girls,
dance hall dancers, tour bus guides, airline stewardesses,
international beauty queens, overseas teachers, corporate soccer
players, and even female members of the Self-Defense Forces.
Directly linking gender, mobility, and labor in 20th and 21st
century Japan, this collection brings to life the ways in which
these modern girls--historically and contemporaneously--have
influenced social roles, patterns of daily life, and Japan's global
image. It is an ideal guidebook for students, scholars, and general
readers alike.

Offering a concise, entertaining snapshot of Japanese society,
"Manners and Mischief" examines etiquette guides, advice
literature, and other such instruction for behavior from the early
modern period to the present day and discovers how manners do in
fact make the nation. Eleven accessibly written essays consider a
spectrum of cases, from the geisha party to gay bar cool, executive
grooming, and good manners for subway travel. Together, they show
that etiquette is much more than fussy rules for behavior. In fact
the idiom of manners, packaged in conduct literature, reveals much
about gender and class difference, notions of national identity,
the dynamics of subversion and conformity, and more. This richly
detailed work reveals how manners give meaning to everyday life and
extraordinary occasions, and how they can illuminate larger social
and cultural transformations.

Diva Nation explores the constructed nature of female iconicity in
Japan. From ancient goddesses and queens to modern singers and
writers, this edited volume critically reconsiders the female icon,
tracing how she has been offered up for emulation, debate or
censure. The research in this book culminates from curiosity over
the insistent presence of Japanese female figures who have refused
to sit quietly on the sidelines of history. The contributors move
beyond archival portraits to consider historically and culturally
informed diva imagery and diva lore. The diva is ripe for
expansion, fantasy, eroticization, and playful reinvention, while
simultaneously presenting a challenge to patriarchal culture. Diva
Nation asks how the diva disrupts or bolsters ideas about
nationhood, morality, and aesthetics.
Psychological Perspectives on Understanding and Addressing Violence
Against Children argues that in order to achieve comprehensive
responses to violence against children (VAC), scholars and
practitioners must develop a robust understanding of how direct,
structural, and cultural forms of violence interact across social
systems. This understanding of VAC motivates a multi-sectoral
response that seeks to promote intergenerational health and
well-being through addressing violence in all its forms. This
volume is organized into three interconnected sections that explore
violence across socioecological domains: violence against children
in social macrosystems, violence against children in social
microsystems, and ways to address VAC in practice and policy. With
chapters highlighting diverse methodological approaches,
context-specific case studies, and approaches to redress violence
through practice and policy, this volume is designed to be a
resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working
to prevent VAC.

body-image, and infectious enthusiasm make her the ideal guide and
