The importance of housing and the health of occupiers has been of
concern to the architecture, construction, medical, legal and
environmental health professions. A wide range of experts are
approaching the various risks and dangers inherent in housing
design and construction, and often do so without recourse to the
advances in knowledge from related professions. A source book of
the current progress in different disciplines should be of value to
both those engaged in the provision of housing and also as a focus
for the direction of future research. The objective of this book is
to present an analysis of the research into the health implications
of housing and the significance for legal regulation of housing
conditions. This is achieved by presenting short papers from key
experts in their field, together with an overview which relates the
different disciplines to the health of occupiers. Whilst the focus
of the research is primarily UK, it should be of interest in the
USA, Europe, Australia and elsewhere since the topic of the
relationship between housing and health is international. This is
reflected in the international perspective taken by the
contributors of this book. This book

Picture books appear so innocent and entertaining with their
illustrations and the few well chosen words which merge to tell a
story. Yet they are arguably the most powerful venue of character
development possible. Children observe the character's behaviors on
the page and interpret them through the context of their own lives.
It is in this interpretation that character development-societally
sanctioned behaviors and morals are taught. But a child's life most
likely does not feature supernatural characters-""Monsters"" such
as vampires or sea serpents etc. This is the first collected
edition to ask what morals are offered to children through the use
of supernatural characters/Monsters appearing in their books.
Unhealthy Housing presents an analysis of the research into the
health implications of housing and the significance for legal
regulation of housing conditions. Key experts present short papers,
together with an overview to give an evaluation of the significance
of housing on the health of occupiers.
Housing is a social determinant of health and this book aims to
provide a concise source of the theory and evidence on safe and
healthy housing to inform students, academics, public and
environmental health practitioners, and policy-makers, nationally
and internationally. The book reviews the functions of housing and
its relationship with the health and well-being of residents. It
examines the implications of failures to satisfy those functions,
including the potential impact on individuals, households, and
society. It assesses options directed at avoiding, removing, or
reducing threats and at promoting healthy indoor environments,
particularly for the most susceptible and vulnerable members of
society. It is essential reading for students, academics, and
professionals within the areas of environmental health, public
health, housing, built environment, social policy, housing policy,
health policy, and law.

From the great scores that have made history, from the statements
of the composers about their work, from old treatises, scholarly
textbooks, and contemporary literature, the author has gathered an
engrossing array of evidence on the trends of interpretation. Here
the art of the performer is studied in all its aspects, spiritual,
technical, historical: the old Italian methods of singing, the
royal virginalists, Frescobaldi's organ playing, dance types from
galliard to waltz, phrasing and dynamics, acoustical conditions,
the story of the metronome, Beethoven's piano playing and Chopin's
rubato, the rise of virtuosity with Paganini and Liszt, the dream
orchestra of Berlioz, and the theoretical commentaries of Wagner.
Of special interest in these days of individualized expression by
performers is the discussion of revisions and "corrections" of
famous musical scores. The book closes with a consideration of
musical performance on records and in radio, moving pictures, and
television.
