This thought-provoking book explores medieval perceptions of pilgrimage, gender and space. It examines real life evidence for the widespread presence of women pilgrims, as well as secular and literary texts concerning pilgrimage and women pilgrims represented in the visual arts. Women pilgrims were inextricably linked with sexuality and their presence on the pilgrimage trails was viewed as tainting sacred space. eBook available with sample pages: 0203463803

Based on linguistic and thematic links in the narrative, 'The
Turning Point in the Gospel of Mark' argues that the twin pericopae
of Peter's confession (8:27-38) and the Transfiguration (9:2-13)
together function as the turning point of the Gospel and serve in a
Janus- like manner enabling the reader to see the author's main
focus: the identity of Jesus and the significance of that reality
for his disciples. Peter's confession of Jesus as Messiah faces
backward toward the Prologue (1:1-13) and functions as a mid-course
conclusion. The declaration by God on the mountain faces forward
and foreshadows the end-course conclusion (14:61-62; 15:39; Son of
God). Jesus, in response, teaches that the Son of Man must suffer
and die before being raised from the dead (8:31). Christologically,
the images of Messiah, Son of Man, and Son of God converge and
present Jesus, the crucified, as king, ushering in the kingdom of
God in power (9:1 acting as the key swivel between the twin
pericopae). When one is confronted with this Jesus, though there
remains something elusive about him and the kingdom of God in the
narrative, the only wise decision (after calculating the costs,
8:34-38) is to follow.

Geographies of Labour Market Inequality explores the key role that place and location play in the operation of the labour market at a time when local context is becoming an integral part of the design and implementation of labour market policies. This book illustrates how geography, at all spatial scales, shapes both the processes that generate such disparities and the scope and impact of policy responses.
This History presents a broad canvas of post-war Czech literary
developments within the cultural and political context of the
times. Information is provided about the many English-language
translations from Czech literature, and the circumstances in which
these translations came about. Analysis is by way of quoting from
original Czech works, especially poetry, with English translation.
'Profiles of the Most Important Czech Writers since 1945' gives
biographical and bibliographical details about the most important
post-war Czech writers, and links to secondary literature in
English. The volume also includes a bibliographical list of the
most important works in English on Czech history, literary history
and politics, as well as a list of anthologies of Czech post-war
literature in English. Originally published in Czech, this English
translation has been entirely re-worked, taking the needs of the
English-speaking reader and student into consideration. 'Writers
Under Siege' is intended for all readers interested in or studying
the literatures and cultures of Central Europe. It is essential
reading for students of Czech and Slavonic Studies.
Tackling translational medicine with a focus on the drug discovery
development-interface, this book integrates approaches and tactics
from multiple disciplines, rather than just the pharmaceutical
aspect of the field. The authors of each chapter address the
paradox between the molecular understanding of diseases, drug
discovery, and drug development. Laying out the detailed trends
from various fields, different chapters are dedicated to target
engagement, toxicological safety assessments, and the compelling
relationship of optimizing early clinical studies with design
strategies. The book also highlights the importance of balancing
the three pillars: sufficient efficacy, acceptable safety and
appropriate pharmacokinetics, all of which are crucial to
successful efforts in discovery and development. With discussions
regarding the combined approaches of molecular research,
personalized medicine, pre-clinical and clinical development, as
well as targeted therapies-this compendium is a flexible fit,
perfect for professionals in the pharmaceutical industry and
related academic fields.

Tracing material and metaphoric waste through the Western canon,
ranging from Beowulf to Samuel Beckett, Susan Signe Morrison
disrupts traditional perceptions of waste to better understand how
we theorize, manage, and are implicated in what is discarded and
seen as garbage. Engaging a wide range of disciplines, Morrison
addresses how the materiality of waste has been sedimented into a
variety of toxic metaphors. If scholars can read waste as
possessing dynamic agency, how might that change the ethics of
refuse-ing and ostracizing wasted humans? A major contribution to
the growing field of Waste Studies, this comparative and
theoretically innovative book confronts the reader with the ethical
urgency present in waste literature itself.
* At the present stage of development of surface science, there has
seemed to be a need for a book-length review spanning the
disciplines of surface physics and surface chemistry-a review to
summarize and show the con nection between the observations from
each discipline. The various results and theories, derived on the
one hand from studies of the physical, electronic, and optical
properties of surfaces and on the other hand from studies of the
chemical activity of surfaces, supplement each other in the search
for a realistic model of the surface. The improved understanding
possible with such an interdisciplinary approach has been confirmed
by recent develop ments which cannot be classified as either
surface chemistry or surface physics. Specifically, recent new
experimental techniques and quantum mechanical models have provided
a much more accurate picture of the nature of the electronic energy
levels (bonding orbitals) present at a solid surface. With this
more accurate picture we are now able to reconcile the various
chemical and physical models that appeared in the early literature
on surfaces. The objective of this work has therefore been to
describe the results and current models of surface science spanning
a broad gray area between surface physics and surface chemistry
with some overlap into each of these disciplines. Relevant aspects
of surface chemistry are discussed; we cover chemical interactions
where bonding and electronic properties dominate, but stop short of
specialized topics such as surfactants or liquid/liquid
interfaces."
This interdisciplinary book intergrates the historical practices
regarding material excrement and its symbolic representation,
concluding that excrement is a moral and ethical category deserving
scrutiny.
This interdisciplinary book integrates the historical practices
regarding material excrement and its symbolic representation, with
special focus on fecopoetics and Chaucer's literary agenda. Filth
in all its manifestations--material (including privies, dung on
fields, and as alchemical ingredient), symbolic (sin, misogynist
slander, and theological wrestling with the problem of filth in
sacred contexts) and linguistic (a semantic range including dirt
and dung)--helps us to see how excrement is vital to understanding
the Middle Ages. Applying fecal theories to late medieval culture,
Morrison concludes by proposing Waste Studies as a new field of
ethical and moral criticism for literary scholars.
One August night in 1931, on a secluded mountain ridge overlooking
Birmingham, Alabama, three young white women were brutally
attacked. The sole survivor, Nell Williams, age eighteen, said a
black man had held the women captive for four hours before shooting
them and disappearing into the woods. That same night, a reign of
terror was unleashed on Birmingham's black community: black
businesses were set ablaze, posses of armed white men roamed the
streets, and dozens of black men were arrested in the largest
manhunt in Jefferson County history. Weeks later, Nell identified
Willie Peterson as the attacker who killed her sister Augusta and
their friend Jennie Wood. With the exception of being black,
Peterson bore little resemblance to the description Nell gave the
police. An all-white jury convicted Peterson of murder and
sentenced him to death. In Murder on Shades Mountain Melanie S.
Morrison tells the gripping and tragic story of the attack and its
aftermath-events that shook Birmingham to its core. Having first
heard the story from her father-who dated Nell's youngest sister
when he was a teenager-Morrison scoured the historical archives and
documented the black-led campaigns that sought to overturn
Peterson's unjust conviction, spearheaded by the NAACP and the
Communist Party. The travesty of justice suffered by Peterson
reveals how the judicial system could function as a lynch mob in
the Jim Crow South. Murder on Shades Mountain also sheds new light
on the struggle for justice in Depression-era Birmingham. This
riveting narrative is a testament to the courageous predecessors of
present-day movements that demand an end to racial profiling,
police brutality, and the criminalization of black men.
