It is ironic that the most common symptom in the field of medicine is also one of the least understood. The present volume offers" a survey of many of the most recent relevant issues facing the clinician. The chapters included are original works by noted authorities in their respective fields. Pain, being a topic with many dimensions, is well-represented by authors from a wide range of clinical specialties: neurosurgery, psychiatry, radiology, internal medicine, child psy chology, neuropsychology, clinical pharmacology, gerontology, nursing educa tion, endocrinology, and physical medicine. Many of the chapter topics have never before been addressed in a comprehensive way, and certainly not in combination. It is hoped that the reader will be continually reminded of the mind/ body interaction involved in pain states. It is the editors' belief that a better understanding of the organic and psychological correlates of pain will result in more successful treatment and management for the patient with pain. Formal training for most practitioners dealing with the subject of pain is primarily limited to pain's relationship to specific disease processes. The present volume provides a more global understanding of pain and the patient with pain, offering specific treatment approaches based on such understanding. w. Lynn Smith H. Merskey Steven C.

Memory Wars explores how commemorative sites and patriotic fanfare marking the mission of General John Sullivan into Iroquois territory during the Revolutionary War continue to shape historical understandings today. Sullivan’s expedition was ordered by General George Washington at a tenuous moment of the Revolutionary War. It was a massive enterprise involving thousands of men who marched across northeastern Pennsylvania into what is now New York state, to eliminate any present or future threat from the British-allied Iroquois Confederacy. Sullivan and his men carried out a scorched-earth campaign, obliterating more than forty Iroquois villages, including homes, fields, and crops. For Indigenous residents it was a catastrophic invasion. For many others the expedition yielded untold bounty: American victory over the British along with land and fortunes beyond measure for settlers who soon moved onto the razed village sites. The Sullivan Expedition has long been fixed on the landscape of Pennsylvania and New York by a cast of characters, including amateur historians, newly formed historical societies, and local chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Asking how it is that people continue to “celebrate Sullivan� in the present day, Memory Wars underscores the symbolic value of the past as well as the dilemmas posed to contemporary Americans by the national commemorative landscape.  

Lord Mayhew's memoirs in this book include an account of his early life at Oxford and the attraction of communism - so common among his contemporaries - and of his visit to the Soviet Union, which was followed by disillusionment and the beginning of his strong anti-communist beliefs. After war service and entry into parliament, he was marked out as a potential high-flyer and served as Personal Private Secretary to Ernest Bevin at the Foreign Office. In covering this period of Mayhew's life, the book highlights Britain's role in the early years of the Cold War, and describes how the country was the first to take up the offensive to rebut Soviet propaganda and to try to further world-wide belief in western social democracy.
