Largely reorganised and much expanded in this second edition,
Practice and Procedures brings together in a single volume general
methods of pain assessment and presents the wide range of therapies
that can be provided by a range of health care disciplines.
Authored by a multidisciplinary team of experts, chapters can stand
alone for readers looking for a general overview of the methods of
techniques for pain management available to them or work to
complement chapters in the preceeding three volumes, providing
practical procedures and applications in the management of acute,
chronic and cancer pain. The book is divided into three parts. Part
One covers the principles of measurement and diagnosis, including
history taking and examination, the selection of pain measures,
diagnostic tests and novel imaging techniques. Part Two discusses
the full range of therapeutic protocols available, from
pharmacological therapies, through psychological techniques,
physical therapy and international procedures, to techniques
specific to pain assessment and management in paediatric patients.
Part Three provides information on planning, conducting, analysing
and publishing clinical trials, with invaluable guidance on the
techniques of systematic review and meta-analysis in pain research.
Part Four considers the role of multidisciplinary pain management
teams, their organization, their place within different health care
systems, and how best to manage change when implementing such a
service. Part Five concludes the volume, investigating the use of
guidelines, standards and quality improvement initiatives in the
management of post-operative pain, and discussing the expert
medicolegal report.
The beloved fantasy classic for readers of all ages, about a hobbit
called Bilbo Baggins who is whisked off on an unexpected journey by
Gandalf the wizard and a company of thirteen dwarves. The Hobbit is
a tale of high adventure, undertaken by a company of dwarves in
search of dragon-guarded gold. A reluctant partner in this perilous
quest is Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving unambitious hobbit, who
surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and skill as a
burglar. Encounters with trolls, goblins, dwarves, elves and giant
spiders, conversations with the dragon, Smaug, and a rather
unwilling presence at the Battle of Five Armies are just some of
the adventures that befall Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins has taken his place
among the ranks of the immortals of children's fiction. Written by
Professor Tolkien for his own children, The Hobbit met with instant
critical acclaim when published. Now the book is available for the
first time in Irish, in a superb translation by Professor Nicholas
Williams. The book includes all the drawings and maps by the
author. --- Bhi gnaoi an phobail riamh leis an sarsceal

In 2000, a sixteenth-century manuscript containing a copy of a
previously unknown play in Middle Cornish, probably composed in the
second half of the fifteenth century, was discovered among papers
bequeathed to the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth. This
eagerly awaited edition of the play, published in association with
the National Library of Wales, offers a conservatively edited text
with a facing-page translation, and a reproduction of the original
text at the foot of the page - vital for comparative purposes. Also
included are a complete vocabulary, detailed linguistic notes, and
a thorough introduction dealing with the language of the play, the
hagiographic background of the St Kea material and the origins of
other parts in the work of Geoffrey of Monmouth. The theme of the
play is the contention between St Kea, patron of Kea parish in
Cornwall, and Teudar, a local tyrant. This is combined with a long
section dealing with the dispute over tribute payments between King
Arthur and the Emperor Lucius Hiberius; Queen Guinevere's adultery
with Arthur's nephew Modred; the latter's invitation to Cheldric
and his Saxon hordes to come to Britain to assist him in his
conflict with his uncle; and Arthur's battle with Modred. Winner of
the 2008 Holyer An Gof Award for Cornish language publications.

If one compares the vocabulary laid out in the handbooks of revived
Cornish with the lexicon of the traditional texts, one is struck by
how different are the two. From the beginnings Unified Cornish in
the 1920s it appears that revivalists have tended to avoid words
borrowed from English, replacing them with more "Celtic' etyma."
Indeed the more Celtic appearance the vocabulary of both Welsh and
Breton seens to have been a source of envy to some Cornish
revivalists. From Nance onwards such purists have believed that
English borrowings disfigured Cornish and in some sense did not
belong in the language. They considered that revived Cornish would
be more authentic, if as many borrowings as possible were replaced
by native or Celtic words. Such a perception is perhaps
understandable in the context of the Cornish language as a badge of
ethnic identity. From a historical and linguistic perspective,
however, it is misplaced. Cornish, unlike its sister languages, has
always adopted words from English. Indeed it is these English
borrowings which give the mature language of the Middle Cornish
period its distinctive flavour. Cornish without the English element
is quite simply not Cornish. Since there is no sizeable community
speaking revived Cornish as a native language, we are compelled to
rely on the only native speakers available to us, namely the
writers of the traditional texts. We must follow them as closely as
we can. It is to be hoped that this book will in some small measure
assist learners of Cornish to speak and to write a form of the
language more closely related to what remains to us of the
traditional language.

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English -

Shaws Fruhe Dramen, language: English, abstract: This essay shall
aim at portraying Shaw's Fabian thought and morality in his early
plays, i.e. Widowers' Houses, Arms and the Man, and The Devil's
Disciple. Such a task automatically renders the essay no more than
an attempt at finding traces, for there are no socialists in the
plays mentioned. Instead, socialist thought is conveyed implicitly,
i.e. by means of the plot, by method of showing, or by confronting
a Victorian theatre audience with realities they would only too
well like to ignore. Widower's Houses is a good case in point: it
is highly unlikely any tenants living in the sort of substandard
accommodation portrayed in the play could afford a night out in
Covent Garden, and it is equally unlikely the theatre-going
audience would ever bother to visit them in "their" rundown houses.
Consequently, Shaw forced the reality upon the audience and
explicitly tried to use drama as a means of propaganda (Grene:
1987: 15 and 3). However, here one could critically add that Shaw -
like most Fabians - had as little contact with the working class as
those he criticised for the same reasons (Ballay 1980: 237). I
shall focus on Widowers' Houses, Arms and the Man, and The Devil's
Disciple, for reasons I will explain in the conclusion. The essay
follows a hypothesis, which is as written above: Shaw forced upon
his audience realities they would like to ignore, and he wished to
radicalise his audience (Gahan: 13). The second assumption this
essay follows is that morality is as much part of Fabianism as
politics are. In his economic and political writings, Shaw made a
strong connection between economics and morality (Griffith: 29f.).
His opposition to capitalism rooted very much in the fact that he
rejected it morally. Hence, according to Fabian logic, the
