In feudal and early modern society, the nobility was a force of
major importance. Yet despite its undeniable influence on the
course of history, there has been a noticeable lack of published
material covering the ways in which nobility was (and sometimes
still is) defined in public law, as opposed to its political and
economic influence, or the legal privileges which noble status
guaranteed. In this major new four-volume work, Michael Sayer
provides an extensive survey of all the most significant primary
sources relating to the status of nobility in Europe from Roman
times through the Medieval period and beyond, setting them within
the broader historical context of the time. He also examines
separately the many juridical aspects of nobility - titles, arms,
heraldry, chivalric orders and knighthoods, and offices - providing
a thorough methodological basis for the study of nobility. As a
comprehensive survey of nobles and nobility in European society
over 2000 years, this book is an invaluable reference tool for
scholars and students.
Soar above a planet of adventure! The trail of a long-vanished ally
leads to the other side of a magical portal called the Doorway to
the Red Star. The heroes must earn the trust of the portal's
guardians then travel through it-to another planet of red sands and
high adventure! Working to gain allies among scholarly brain-people
and shifty ratfolk, the heroes must infiltrate a massive airship
and fight to free their ally from an insidious trap on an alien
world! "Doorway to the Red Star" is a Pathfinder adventure for four
15th-level characters. This adventure continues the Strength of
Thousands Adventure Path, a six-part, monthly campaign in which the
heroes rise from humble magic academy students to become
influential teachers, and ultimately decide the fate of the
Magaambya. This adventure also details people, places, and monsters
of Akiton, the Red Planet, a fabulous setting for sword-and-sorcery
escapades! Each monthly full-color softcover Pathfinder Adventure
Path volume contains an in-depth adventure scenario, stats for
several new monsters, and support articles meant to give Game
Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Pathfinder
Adventure Path volumes use the Open Game License and work with both
the Pathfinder RPG and the world's oldest fantasy RPG.
Prehospital Care of Neurologic Emergencies is a reliable and
definitive resource for emergency medical services personnel at
multiple levels; physicians, paramedics, nurses and others who

injuries, strokes, and seizures. In these emergencies time is
critical, and the simply presented, straightforward format of the
patient care and management recommendations help readers to treat
patients rapidly and confidently. Each chapter follows a standard
format that includes an overview of each neurologic emergency,
important background, key challenges, and areas requiring future
investigation. This book is unlikely to be placed on your
bookshelf; instead, you will keep it nearby for times when you face
life-threatening neurologic emergencies. When seconds count, this
book has the answers.

In the last few decades the applications of piezoelectrics to
sensors have witnessed a dramatic acceleration and new devices and
materials have been discovered. Some of the highlights include
electrostrictive materials for positioners, relaxor-normal
ferroelectric single crystals with very high electromechanical
couplings for medical transducers, thin/thick PZT films for
microelectromechanical systems, starting from a sophisticated
chemical technology, and multilayer actuators fabricated by a
cofiring technique. All will make a remarkable industrial impact in
the 21st century.
