Neglect is now recognized as leading to significantly poor outcomes
for children in the short and long term. It is a matter of concern
for all professionals who work with children. Children who are
neglected are not likely to seek help in their own right and are
highly dependent on professionals such as health visitors and
schoolteachers identifying and responding to their needs for
support and protection. In order to carry out the key tasks of
prevention, recognition and response to neglect, practitioners
require up-to-date evidence-based information about the aetiology
and signs of neglect and what works in prevention and response.
This book addresses the key themes in child neglect, draws on
current research and practice knowledge and sets out the
implications for practice. With a joint health and social work
focus, this interdisciplinary book is an essential resource for
practitioners, academics and policy makers working towards
integrated and collaborative childcare services.

Women and Music in the Age of Austen highlights the central role
women played in musical performance, composition, reception, and
representation, and analyzes its formative and lasting effect on
Georgian culture. This interdisciplinary collection of essays from
musicology, literary studies, and gender studies challenges the
conventional historical categories that marginalize women’s
experience from Austen’s time. Contesting the distinctions
between professional and amateur musicians, public and domestic
sites of musical production, and performers and composers of music,
the contributors reveal how women’s widespread involvement in the
Georgian musical scene allowed for self-expression, artistic
influence, and access to communities that transcended the
boundaries of gender, class, and nationality. This volume’s
breadth of focus advances our understanding of a period that
witnessed a musical flourishing, much of it animated by female
hands and voices. Published by Bucknell University Press.

Netflix is the definitive media company of the 21st century. It was
among the first to parlay new Internet technologies into a
successful business model, and in the process it changed how
consumers access film and television. It is now one of the leading
providers of digitally delivered media content and is continually
expanding access across a host of platforms and mobile devices.
Despite its transformative role, however, Netflix has drawn very
little critical attention-far less than competitors such as
YouTube, Apple, Amazon, Comcast, and HBO. This collection addresses
this gap, as the essays are designed to critically explore the
breadth and diversity of Netflix's effect from a variety of
different scholarly perspectives, a necessary approach considering
the hybrid nature of Netflix, its inextricable links to new models
of media production, distribution, viewer engagement and consumer
behavior, its relationship to existing media conglomerates and
consumer electronics, its capabilities as a web-based service
provider and data network, and its reliance on a broader
technological infrastructure.
Do both the zoo and the mental hospital induce psychosis, as humans
are treated as animals and animals are treated as humans? How have
we looked at animals in the past, and how do we look at them today?
How have zoos presented themselves, and their purpose, over time?
In response to the emergence of environmental and animal studies,
anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers, theorists, literature
scholars, and historians around the world have begun to explore the
significance of zoological parks, past and present. Zoo Studies
considers the modern zoo from a range of approaches and
disciplines, united in a desire to blur the boundaries between
human and nonhuman animals. The volume begins with an account of
the first modern mental hospital, La Salpetriere, established in
1656, and the first panoptical zoo, the menagerie at Versailles,
created in 1662 by the same royal architect; the final chapter
presents a choreographic performance that imagines the Toronto Zoo
as a place where the human body can be inspired by animal bodies.
From beginning to end, through interdisciplinary collaboration,
this volume decentres the human subject and offers alternative ways
of thinking about zoos and their inhabitants. This collection
immerses readers in the lives of animals and their experiences of
captivity and asks us to reflect on our own assumptions about both
humans and animals. An original and groundbreaking work, Zoo
Studies will change the way readers see nonhuman animals and
themselves.
