Expanding Nationalisms at World's Fairs: Identity, Diversity, and
Exchange, 1851-1915 introduces the subject of international
exhibitions to art and design historians and a wider audience as a
resource for understanding the broad and varied political meanings
of design during a period of rapid industrialization, developing
nationalism, imperialism, expanding trade and the emergence of a
consumer society. Its chapters, written by both established and
emerging scholars, are global in scope, and demonstrate specific
networks of communication and exchange among designers,
manufacturers, markets and nations on the modern world stage from
the second half of the nineteenth century into the beginning of the
twentieth. Within the overarching theme of nationalism and
internationalism as revealed at world's fairs, the book's essays
will engage a more complex understanding of ideas of competition
and community in an age of emergent industrial capitalism, and will
investigate the nuances, contradictions and marginalized voices
that lie beneath the surface of unity, progress, and global
expansion.
Contemporary Issues in Couples Counseling explores the most
difficult issues that people in the helping professions face when
treating couples and provides concrete solutions for addressing

cognitive-behavior therapies. Both experienced and beginning
clinicians will find Contemporary Issues in Couples Counseling
ideal for helping clients focus on the here and now, not the past,
and for creating treatment plans that meet clients' individual
needs while also addressing the needs of their partners.

This book contains information on an increasingly common autoimmune
disorder. Also called "sticky blood" and Hughes Syndrome, APS makes
one's blood clot too easily, creating high risk of stroke,
thrombosis, and premature heart attack. It is also implicated in
many other health problems including repeated miscarriages,
neurological problems, eary dementia and migraines. It is often
associated with lupus, and mimics the symptoms of other diseases,
including MS.
Symptoms include; migraines and headaches, recurrent miscarriage,
memory loss, slurred speech, blood clots, poor circulation, muscle
pain and cramps, blurred vision, extreme fatigue, epilepsy,
strokes, thrombosis and a form of angina. Because of lack of
knowledge of APS in the medical establishment, sufferers are often
misdiagnosed with MS or other more life-threatening conditions.
This book helps the reader identify the symptoms and provides
important information on diagnosis and treatment of APS. It
contains many moving stories, explaining how people eventually got
a diagnosis, their symptoms, the impact of APS on their lives and
whether or not treatment has worked.
Written in collaboration with Dr. Graham Hughes, the major
researcher of APS in the UK, this book provides a clearly written
informative look at an important but little-known disease.
At the dawn of the Atomic Age, Americans encountered troubling new
questions brought about by the nuclear revolution: In a
representative democracy, who is responsible for national public
safety? How do citizens imagine themselves as members of the
national collective when faced with the priority of individual
survival? What do nuclear weapons mean for transparency and
accountability in government? What role should scientific experts
occupy within a democratic government? Nuclear weapons created a
new arena for debating individual and collective rights. In turn,
they threatened to destabilize the very basis of American
citizenship. As Sarah E. Robey shows in Atomic Americans, people
negotiated the contours of nuclear citizenship through overlapping
public discussions about survival. Policymakers and citizens
disagreed about the scale of civil defense programs and other
public safety measures. As the public learned more about the
dangers of nuclear fallout, critics articulated concerns about
whether the federal government was operating in its citizens' best
interests. By the early 1960s, a significant antinuclear movement
had emerged, which ultimately contributed to the 1963 nuclear
testing ban. Atomic Americans tells the story of a thoughtful body
politic engaged in rewriting the rubric of rights and
responsibilities that made up American citizenship in the Atomic
Age.

In this Very Short Introduction, Peter Hainsworth and David Robey
consider Italian literature from the Middle Ages to the present
day, looking at themes and issues which have recurred throughout
its history and continue to be of importance today. Examining
themes such as regional identities, political disunity, and the
role of the national language, they also cover a wide range of
authors and works, including Dante, Petrarch, Manzoni, Montale, and
Calvino. They explore some of the distinctive traditions of the
literature, such as its liking for theorizing its own position, its
concern with politics, and its secular orientation in spite of the
Catholic beliefs and practices of the Italian people. Concluding by
looking at the ways in which Italian literature has changed over
the last thirty years, they examine the influence of women's
writing in Italian, and acknowledge the belated recognition of its
importance. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series
from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost
every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to
get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine
facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make
interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
