Peter Cartwright, affectionately termed the 'backwoods preacher',
tells his life story; a tale of adventure, hardship and inspiration
for all who follow God's path. Born at a time when the USA was a
newborn nation, Peter Cartwright experienced a formal conversion to
the Christian creed at the age of fifteen while attending camp.
Witnessing the power the Christian ministry in his fledgling
country had to commit good, Cartwright became a devout student of
the holy scripture and aspired to work as a preacher for a
lifetime. Opportunity presented itself in the form of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. An enthusiastic speaker, Cartwright preached for
four years prior to being officially ordained; he tells of learning
to exhort crowd members and move them to the service of God. From a
young age, Cartwright placed his own moral convictions above the
church's association with politics; what was wrong was wrong, even
things enshrined in the law and government of a society.
To what extent should criminal law be used to protect the consumer? Peter Cartwright evaluates the role of criminal law sanctions in consumer protection from an economic and social perspective. In this important new study the author examines the rationales for protecting consumers, and considers the role that legal techniques play in fulfilling these. In addition, he analyzes criminal law doctrines such as strict, corporate, and vicarious liability, and suggests that they require re-evaluation. This study will be of interest to academics, undergraduate and post-graduate students as well as lawyers.

'A major step in patient education and participation in the
management of diverticulitis' - Professor Frank A. Frizelle
Diverticular disease (DD) is a digestive disorder caused by
enflamed diverticula, or pouches, in the colon. A common cause is
constipation due to lack of fibre in the diet. Diverticulitis is
very common, with about 60,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the
UK and 300,000 in the USA. Symptoms are usually persistent
abdominal pain plus disturbed bowel function (constipation or
diarrhoea or alternating between the two). Diverticulitis sometimes
becomes very severe leading to perforation of the bowel, forming an
abscess or rarely peritonitis. This best-selling book looks at the
treatment and self-management of DD - while the doctor can help,
particularly with antibiotics, much can be done by the individual
to minimise the effects of this condition. Topics include: The
medical treatment of diverticular disease Probiotics ('good' or
'friendly' live bacteria and yeasts said to be good for digestive
health The increase of diverticular disease in the population
Effects of diverticular disease
