Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

There are two crucial issues in the treatment and management of
headache patients: More than 50% of individuals experiencing
headache have only been treated symptomatically, with no
appropriate diagnosis established; and history and neurologic
examination are essential to establishing a diagnosis, and thus
selecting appropriate therapy. Headache and Migraine Biology and
Management is a practical text that addresses these issues,
featuring contributions from expert clinical authors. The book
covers in detail topics including chronic and episodic migraine,
post-traumatic headache, sinus headache, cluster headache, tension
headache, and others. Chapters are also dedicated to treatment
subjects, including psychiatric and psychological approaches,
medication overuse, inpatient treatment, and pediatric issues. This
book is an ideal resource for researchers and clinicians, uniting
practical discussion of headache biology, current ideas on
etiology, future research, and genetic significance and
breakthroughs. This resource is useful to those who want to
understand headache biology, treat and manage symptoms, and for
those performing research in the headache field.
The two Animal Models in Psychiatry volumes are loosely organized
by subject. The first volume contains a number of chapters
concerned with schizophrenia, psyc- ses, neuroleptic-induced
tardive dyskinesias, and other d- orders that may involve dopamine,
such as attention deficit disorder and mania. The second volume
deals with affective and anxiety disorders, but also includes
chapters on subjects not easily classified as either psychotic, or
affective, or an- ety-related, such as aggression, mental
retardation, and memory disorders. Four chapters on animal models
of schizophrenia or psychoses are included in the present v- ume
because of the importance of these disorders in p- chiatry.
Likewise, three chapters in the subsequent volume deal with
depression. The first of the two volumes begins with an introd-
tion by Paul Willner reviewing the criteria for assessing the
validity of animal models in psychiatry. He has written - tensively
on this subject, and his thorough description of the issues of
various forms of validity provides a framework in which to evaluate
the subsequent chapters. As will be seen, the remaining chapters in
both volumes will refer frequently to these issues. The second
chapter, by Melvin Lyon, describes a large number of different
procedures that have been p- posed as potential animal models of
schizophrenia. This is a departure from the usual format,
consisting of detailed - scriptions of specific models.

by subject. The first volume contains a number of chapters
concerned with schizophrenia, psyc- ses, neuroleptic-induced
tardive dyskinesias, and other d- orders that may involve dopamine,
such as attention deficit disorder and mania. Also included is a
chapter describing a behavioral model for activity-induced
anorexia. The second volume deals with affective and anxiety
disorders, but also includes chapters on subjects not easily
classified as either psychotic, affective, or anxiety-related, such
as aggression, mental retardation, and memory disorders. Four
chapters on animal models of schizophrenia or psychoses are
included in Volume 18 because of the importance of these disorders
in psychiatry. Likewise, three chapters in the present v- ume deal
with affective disorders, with a fourth chapter on circadian
rhythms that also contributes to methods for a- mal models in
affective disorders. Following the first four chapters are two
chapters dealing with models of anxiety and panic, two chapters on
aggression, one on mental retardation, and a final chapter covering
memory disorders. Many of the behaviorally-based models of
affective disorders involve inducing stress in a- mals, usually on
a chronic basis. The first chapter by Anisman, Zalcman, Shanks, and
Zacharko describes some of the neurochemical effects that are
associated with the chronic application of sensors.
Challenging established views and assumptions about traditions and
practices of filmmaking in the African diaspora, this three-volume
set offers readers a researched critique on black film. Volume One
of this landmark series on African cinema draws together
foundational scholarship on its history and evolution. Beginning
with the ideological project of colonial film to legitimize the
economic exploitation and cultural hegemony of the African
continent during imperial rule to its counter-historical formation
and theorization. It comprises essays by film scholars and
filmmakers alike, among them Roy Armes, Med Hondo, Fèrid
Boughedir, Haile Gerima, Oliver Barlet, Teshome Gabriel, and David
Murphy, including three distinct dossiers: a timeline of key dates
in the history of African cinema; a comprehensive chronicle and
account of the contributions by African women in cinema; and a
homage and overview of Ousmane Sembène, the "Father" of African
cinema.
Challenging established views and assumptions about traditions and
practices of filmmaking in the African diaspora, this three-volume
set offers readers a researched critique on black film. Volume Two
of this landmark series on African cinema is devoted to the
decolonizing mediation of the Pan African Film & Television
Festival of Ouagadougou (FESPACO), the most important, inclusive,
and consequential cinematic convocation of its kind in the world.
Since its creation in 1969, FESPACO's mission is, in principle,
remarkably unchanged: to unapologetically recover, chronicle,
affirm, and reconstitute the representation of the African
continent and its global diasporas of people, thereby enunciating
in the cinematic, all manner of Pan-African identity, experience,
and the futurity of the Black World. This volume features
historically significant and commissioned essays, commentaries,
conversations, dossiers, and programmatic statements and manifestos
that mark and elaborate the key moments in the evolution of FESPACO
over the span of the past five decades.
Ivan Dixon's 1973 film, The Spook Who Sat by the Door, captures the
intensity of social and political upheaval during a volatile period
in American history. Based on Sam Greenlee's novel by the same
name, the film is a searing portrayal of an American Black
underclass brought to the brink of revolution. This series of
critical essays situates the film in its social, political, and
cinematic contexts and presents a wealth of related materials,
including an extensive interview with Sam Greenlee, the original
United Artists' press kit, numerous stills from the film, and the
original screenplay. This fascinating examination of a
revolutionary work foregrounds issues of race, class, and social
inequality that continue to incite protests and drive political
debate.
Written and directed by two white men and performed by an all-black
cast, Nothing But a Man (Michael Roemer, 1964) tells the story of a
drifter turned family man who struggles with the pressures of
small-town life and the limitations placed on him and his community
in the Deep South, an area long fraught with racism. Though
unmistakably about race and civil rights, the film makes no direct
reference to the civil rights movement. Despite this intentional
absence, contemporary audiences were acutely aware of the social
context for the film's indictment of white prejudice in America. To
help frame and situate the film in the context of black film
studies, the book gathers primary and secondary resources,
including the original screenplay, essays on the film, statements
by the filmmakers, and interviews with Robert M. Young, the film's
producer and cinematographer, and Khalil Gibran Muhammad, the
Director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

In the early 1900s, so-called race filmmakers set out to produce
black-oriented pictures to counteract the racist caricatures that
had dominated cinema from its inception. Richard E. Norman, a
southern-born white filmmaker, was one such pioneer. From humble
beginnings as a roving "home talent" filmmaker, recreating
photoplays that starred local citizens, Norman would go on to
produce high-quality feature-length race pictures. Together with
his better-known contemporaries Oscar Micheaux and Noble and George
Johnson, Richard E. Norman helped to define early race filmmaking.
Making use of unique archival resources, including Norman's
personal and professional correspondence, detailed distribution
records, and newly discovered original shooting scripts, this book
offers a vibrant portrait of race in early cinema.
The official school drop-out figure in the US in recent years has
been 25 per cent of the cohort. Estimates from large cities are
often double these rates, and in some areas 60 per cent or worse.
This text focuses on this problem in US schools, but from an
unusual perspective. It is a study gained from in-depth interviews
of 100 "stop-outs" - that is, those who dropped out but then
decided to return to school. Four basic questions are posed by this
text: who drops out?; why did they drop out?; what caused them to
return?; and what intervention policies can be formulated to
prevent students dropping out in the first place? The answers
provided by this text for the last question are intended to make it
of particular interest to school administrators.

Still the only book published anywhere in the world which is
devoted entirely to the principles of aeromedical transport,
Aeromedical Transportation has rightly become known as the sole
reference for the industry. This second edition has been radically
revised and updated; featuring the latest research, updated
references and new chapters on the transport of intensive care
patients, and medical emergencies/death in flight. Since the first
edition was published in 1996, the concept of 'evidence-based
medicine' has been accepted as essential in any book which
endeavours to be the accepted knowledge base in its subject area. A
very practical text, international in its approach, much of its
content is devoted to clinical matters. Administration and
organisation are also discussed, but are addressed from the
standpoint of the clinical aeromedical escort. The text is suitable
for medical, paramedical and nursing personnel and for those
working in organizations whose duties include the transportation of
the sick and injured by air.
