Troubled Vision is an interdisciplinary collection of essays that explores the interface between gender, sexuality and vision in medieval culture. The volume represents an exciting array of scholarship dealing with visual and textual cultures from the 11th to the 15th centuries. Bringing together a range of theoretical approaches that address the troubling effects of vision on medieval texts and images, the book mediates between medieval and modern constructions of gender and sexuality.
In this groundbreaking work, Peter Mills reveals a wealth of
insight into the emergence of the Hawaiian nation-state from
sources mostly ignored by colonial and post-colonial historians
alike. By examining how early Hawaiian chiefs appropriated Western
sailing technology to help build their island nation, Mills
presents the fascinating history of sixty Hawaiian-owned schooners,
brigs, barks, and peleleu canoes. While these vessels have often
been dismissed as examples of chiefly folly, Mills highlights their
significance in Hawaiʻi’s rapidly evolving monarchy, and aptly
demonstrates how the monarchy’s own nineteenth-century sailing
fleet facilitated fundamental transformations of interisland
tributary systems, alliance building, exchange systems, and
emergent forms of Indigenous capitalism. Part One covers broad
trends in Hawaiʻi’s changing maritime traditions, beginning with
the evolution of Hawaiian archaic states in the precontact era.
Mills argues that Indigenous trends towards political
intensification under the predecessors to Kamehameha I set the
stage for Kamehameha’s own rapid appropriation of Western sailing
vessels. From the first procurement of a Western-style vessel in
1790 through the beginning of the constitutional monarchy in 1840,
these vessels were part of a nuanced strategy that promoted a
diverse revenue base for the monarchy and developed greater
international parity in Hawaiʻi’s foreign diplomacy. Part Two
presents the histories of the sixty vessels owned by Hawaiian
chiefs between 1790 and 1840, discussing their significance,
origin, physical attributes, ownership, procurement, and purpose.
Using newspapers and other concurrent sources, Mills uncovers
little-known details of more than 2,000 voyages around and between
the islands and to distant parts of the Pacific. His meticulous
documentation of each ship’s itinerary is a valuable resource for
tracking the movement of chiefs and commoners between islands as
they engaged in the business of building a newly interconnected
Hawaiian nation. Part Three connects these previously neglected
maritime stories with an expanding body of historical treatments of
Hawaiian agency. Readers with enthusiasm for life in
nineteenth-century Hawaiʻi will appreciate the entertaining and,
at times, deeply moving glimpses into the daily lives of
individuals in Hawaiʻi’s pluralistic port communities.
Diagnostic and exfoliative cytology has today achieved a status
that few could have envisaged 20 years ago. While exfoliative
cytology has long been employed in gynecological diagnosis, new and
rewarding spheres have now developed in which cytological diagnosis
plays an important role. Exfoliative cytology, for example, is
widely employed as an aid in the continuous assessment of urinary
tract tumors, and aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of thyroid
dis eases. This has given rise to a growing demand for pathologists
experienced in cytological diagnosis. However, clinicians with an
interest in morphology were often the first to adopt these simple
and safe methods, being naturally attracted by the chance to avoid
conducting biopsy, which, in the last analysis, is nothing less
than a surgical operation. In this Atlas of Prostatic Cytology
Leistenschneider and Nagel expertly demonstrate what can be
achieved when clinicians skilled in morphology take an interest in
cytological methods. Not only do they have direct contact with the
patient, but they also profit from immediately being in a position
to assess the results of their diagnostic procedures by examining
the specimen obtained. From the technical point of view aspiration
biopsy of the prostate is by no means a simple procedure and the
difficulties involved would seem to have been underestimated in the
initial phase of enthusiastic acclaim. Consequently it has been not
unusual for clinicians and pathologists to be disappointed by the
high rate of unsatisfactory samples obtained by this method.

Part of the Oxford Textbooks in Clinical Neurology series, the
Oxford Textbook of Clinical Neurophysiology includes sections that
provide a summary of the basic science underlying
neurophysiological techniques, a description of the techniques
themselves, including normal values, and a description of the use
of the techniques in clinical situations. Much of diagnostic
neurophysiology is essentially pattern recognition which is
illustrated throughout the text using audio and video examples.
Divided into four key sections, this book begins with the
scientific basis of clinical neurophysiology (Section 1) before
exploring specific techniques including Electromyography,
Intracranial EEG recordings, and Magnetoencephalography (Section
2). The final two sections explore clinical aspects of both the
peripheral nervous system (Section 3) and the central nervous
system (Section 4).

Author James Mills was injured and had to have very serious neck
surgery. When complications developed, he decided to write to his
kids so that they would understand what God was doing through this
difficult time in his life. In "To All My Children: This Is My
Father's World, " he explains that God wants to help us in our
everyday lives as we walk closer with Him. Mills does not seek to
take away from or contradict the Bible, but rather to add meaning
to life as we travel through this world. God will help us in this
lifetime if we let him. He has absolute power over this world, and
His love and leadership have always been available to everyone!
Mills intends to leave his thoughts in this text for his children
and grandchildren as they prepare for the end of days.He also
shares some of the occasions on which he and his wife, Susan, have
had their prayers answered. He firmly believes that if you have
confidence in God, His love and understanding will take you to the
future.
