This collection of essays confirms Carmen de Burgos's pivotal place
in Spanish feminist history by bringing together eminent
international scholars who offer new readings of Burgos's work. It
includes the analyses of a number of lesser-known texts, both
fictional and non-fictional, which give us a more comprehensive
examination of Burgos's multipronge feminist approach. Burgos's
works, especially her essays, are essential feminist reading and
complement other European and North American traditions. Gaining
familiarity with the breadth and depth of her work serves not only
to provide an understanding of Spanish firstwave feminism, but also
enriches our appreciation of cultural studies, gender studies,
subaltern studies and travel literature. Looking at the entirety of
her life and work, and the wide-ranging contributions in this
volume, it is evident that Burgos embodied the tensions between
tradition and modernity, depicting multiple representations of
womanhood. Encouraging women to take ownership of their personal
fashion, the design of their homes and the decorum of their
families were steps towards recognizing a female population that
was cognizant of its own desires.

neurological symptoms, including chronic headaches, fatigue,
dizziness, loss of sensation, weakness and numbness.
New essays examining the complex period of rich artistic ferment
that was German literary Expressionism. More than any other
avant-garde movement, German Expressionism captures the aesthetic
revolution of 20th-century modernity in all its contrasts and
conflicts. In continuous eruptions from 1905 to 1925, Expressionism
upset reigningpractices in the arts, most vividly in painting and
the visual arts. In the literature, a heady intellectualism
combined with dramatic gesture, graphic visions, exuberant emotions
and urgent proclamations to forge forceful stylesof verbal
expression. Expressionism introduced into art both visual and
verbal a shockingly new intensity with many facets and many faces.
This volume presents the literature of German Expressionism, which
is far less known in the English-speaking world, with essays by
leading scholars on Expressionism's philosophical origins, its
thematic preoccupations, and its divergent stylistic manifestations
by writers whose common bond is intensity and whose lineson the
page read like the gouges of a woodcut: Georg Kaiser, Walter
Hasenclever, and Ernst Toller in drama; Gottfried Benn, Georg Heym,
Else Lasker-Schuler, and Georg Trakl in poetry; Alfred Doeblin,
Carl Einstein, and Carl Sternheim in prose, to name just a few.
Against the background of the journals, exhibitions, and
anthologies, the cafe meeting places and public life of
Expressionism, the volume's highly focused, intrinsic analyses of
texts and comprehensive overviews of extrinsic contexts (and of the
most up-to-date research) shows the fervor and complexity of the
period and its effulgent literary formations. Neil H. Donahue is
Professor of German and Comparative Literature at Hofstra
University.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) remains one of the most
controversial illnesses, both in terms of its causes, and the best
ways to treat the illness. For years, sufferers have had to deal
with scepticism from their families, employers, and even health
care professionals. The vast amount of conflicting advice that has
been published up to now has served only to confuse sufferers, and
professionals, even more. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: The Factsr

and their families, with practical advice, based solely on
scientific evidence. It is unique in being written by both a
sufferer and a physician, both of whom have had extensive
experience of talking to, and helping, patients. Included in the
book is a detailed guide to self-help, written from a patient's
perspective, but evidence-based. The book also deals with a number
of special issues, advising on how to choose therapies and
therapists, and how to deal with CFS in children. The book
additionally includes an overview of the history of the illness,
looking at the nature and causes of CFS, and the opportunities for
the future. The book will be invaluable for sufferers from CFS,
their friends and families, and the numerous health professionals
who come into contact with sufferers from this illness.

Help your church community engage with God through authentic,
life-changing worship
From Dr. Jon Duncan, Music and Worship Specialist, Georgia Baptist
Convention, Atlanta, Georgia:
Holy Gatherings is an effective worship education tool that should
be on the shelf of every serious worship planner-leader. There are
plenty of theological and theoretical discourses on the subject of
worship. This work stands apart as it not only deals effectively
with the "why" of worship; it serves well as a "how to" field
manual that never erodes biblical footing. The result is a relevant
work which will strengthen and deepen worship engagement among
God's people.
From Ron Willoughby, Lecturer in Contemporary Christian Studies,
Cliff College, University of Manchester, UK:
Finally A clear, accessible primer on worship leadership. This book
rescues worship leadership from the trap of performance-based crowd
pleasing and the clutches of sterile worship models. Do yourself a
favor: buy this book. Read it. Highlight it. Put it into practice.
From Dirce Cooper, International Mission Board, Southern Baptist
Convention, Worship Leadership Training, CUBA:
Beginning with a solid foundation of a biblical understanding of
worship, the authors offer practical steps to the designing and
leading of corporate worship. Throughout the pathway, probing
questions engage the reader in the pursuit of transformative
worship. The combined experiences and distinct perspectives of a
skillful musician/worship leader and a seasoned theologian/pastor
have resulted in a treasure of insights that will serve worship
teams as well as serious worship students around the world.
From Graham Smith, Director of the Church Music Department,
Mississippi Baptist Convention Board:
What a blessing to have Dr. Argile Smith and Dr. Michael Sharp
combine their many gifts from our Lord, which blest by the Holy
Spirit, give such synergy to this much needed book on the highest
priority of the human spirit---the worship of our Creator-God We
have needed such a defining book among worshippers and worship
leaders for some time. Here, by the grace of God, is a gift from
Him to us through these two worshippers and worship leaders
From Will McRaney, Ph.D, Director of Evangelism Strategy, Florida
Baptist Convention:
As scholars, practitioners, and local churchmen, Argile Smith and
Michael Sharp have served us well by providing a great resource to
help us worship God and lead others to worship God in both spirit
and truth. You will be both inspired and informed by the work of
their vast collective experience.
This book is designed to meet the needs of the vascular surgery
trainee. It can be carried in the pocket for easy access and
provides practical advice on all commonly encountered peripheral
vascular problems. It focuses on surgical detail, but also carries
background information on presentation and details on preoperative
investigation and postoperative management. It gives relevant
information for use when seeking patient consent. Each operation
carries the latest OPCS code, increasingly important in recording
surgical activity. Alternative interventions are given, including
both radiological procedures and medical management where
appropriate; an important approach given the evolving vascular
surgery specialist who has responsibility in all of these fields.
It informs the vascular trainee from their earliest encounter with
the area to those completing their fellowship. It should also be of
interest to the foundation year trainees on the vascular ward, the
specialist vascular nurse, the vascular anaesthetist, the
intensivist and the vascular radiologist.
