This book has two main purposes: formative case analysis and
self-assessment of medicine in old age. It presents clinicians with
a series of cases on which to base discussion of the investigation
and management of patients. It also provides the trainee, or
established doctor, with a medium to help prepare for post-graduate
examinations and clinical practice. The authors have chosen 109
cases, a total of 250 questions/answers, illustrated by color
photographs, diagrams, and tables. The cases cover the main modes
of presentation of acute illness in old age, such as fall,
confusion, incontinence, weight loss and immobility, with examples
from all the major systems. These illustrate the complexity of
diagnosis and treatment of medical illness in frail older people
and the need to think widely and laterally when caring for such
patients. The questions are mostly in best-of-five format to
reflect the current style of multiple choice questions used in
examination, though some are open questions as the basis for
tutorials. Many of the clinical stems have been expanded to improve
the educational function of the book and to test more rigorously
the reader's deductive thinking.
This book offers a detailed account of the legal issues concerning
the British Indian Ocean Territory (Chagos Islands) by leading
experts in the field. It examines the broader significance of the
ongoing Bancoult litigation in the UK Courts, the Chagos Islanders'
petition to the European Court of Human Rights and Mauritius'
successful challenge, under the UN Convention of the Law of the
Sea, to the UK government's creation of a Marine Protected Area
around the Chagos Archipelago. This book, produced in response to
the 50th anniversary of the BIOT's founding, also assesses the
impact of the decisions taken in respect of the Territory against a
wider background of decolonization while addressing important
questions about the lawfulness of maintaining Overseas Territories
in the post-colonial era.The chapter 'Anachronistic As Colonial
Remnants May Be...' - Locating the Rights of the Chagos Islanders

`The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation' In 1845 Henry
David Thoreau left his home town of Concord, Massachusetts to begin
a new life alone, in a rough hut he built himself a mile and a half
away on the north-west shore of Walden Pond. Walden is Thoreau's
classic autobiographical account of this experiment in solitary
living, his refusal to play by the rules of hard work and the
accumulation of wealth and above all the freedom it gave him to
adapt his living to the natural world around him. This new edition
of Walden traces the sources of Thoreau's reading and thinking and
considers the author in the context of his birthplace and his sense
of its history - social, economic and natural. In addition, an
ecological appendix provides modern identifications of the myriad
plants and animals to which Thoreau gave increasingly close
attention as he became acclimatized to his life in the woods by
Walden Pond. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's
Classics has made available the widest range of literature from
around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The adoption of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
by the United Nations General Assembly on 13 September 2007 was
acclaimed as a major success for the United Nations system given
the extent to which it consolidates and develops the international
corpus of indigenous rights. This is the first in-depth academic
analysis of this far-reaching instrument. Indigenous
representatives have argued that the rights contained in the
Declaration, and the processes by which it was formulated, obligate
affected States to accept the validity of its provisions and its
interpretation of contested concepts (such as 'culture', 'land',
'ownership' and 'self-determination'). This edited collection
contains essays written by the main protagonists in the development
of the Declaration; indigenous representatives; and field-leading
academics. It offers a comprehensive institutional, thematic and
regional analysis of the Declaration. In particular, it explores
the Declaration's normative resonance for international law and
considers the ways in which this international instrument could
catalyse institutional action and influence the development of
national laws and policies on indigenous issues.
