Imaging hysterical paralysis
Authors: Athwal B S , Halligan P W , Fink G R , Marshall, J C , Frackowiak R S J 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The concept of a conversion disorder (such as ‘hysterical paralysis’) remains controver- sial, and the classification of hysterical symptoms (for example, in DSM-IV)continues to be the subject of criticism both within and outside clinical psychiatry. The main problem relates to the diagnostic imprecision of the label ‘hysteria’ and the lack of a coherent, theoretically motivated, neuropsychological account concerning the pathophysiology of this disorder.
The instrumentation of delirium
Authors: Robertsson Barbro 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Systematic observation and recording of behaviour and symptoms are important and necessary both in clinical practice and in research. In clinical practice, assessment instruments facilitate the detection of certain symptoms that may indicate an underlying brain disorder. Such instruments may also generate communicable symptom characterizations that are useful in the diagnostic process, in planning for the care of the patient, in evaluating the effect of interventions, and in education.
Greek Religion
Authors: Parker Robert 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Greek religion belongs to the class of ancient polytheisms: one can in very general terms compare the religions of Rome, of Egypt, of the ancient Indo-iranians, and most of the religions of the ancient Near East. The gods of such a polytheism have each a defined sphere of influence. The balanced worshipper does not pick and choose between them but pays some respect to them all. To neglect one god (Aphrodite, for instance) is to reject an area of human experience. Individual Greek communities paid special honour to particular gods (put the other way, gods ‘took most delight’ in particular sanctuaries), but not to the exclusion of others. Athena, for instance, was the divine patroness of Athens, and Hera that of Samos; an Athenian decree of 405 BC which celebrates Athenian-Samian co-operation is topped by a relief showing the two goddesses clasping hands; but Hera was also an honoured goddess in Athens, and vice versa.
The Longest War
Authors: Mulholland Marc 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Troubles in Northern Ireland have proved one of the most intractable conflicts in Europe since the Second World War, consistently attracting international attention, particularly from the United States. This highly readable exploration of the central issues and debates about Northern Ireland sets them in the historical context of hundreds of years of conflict. It tackles many questions, such as: What accounts for the perpetuation of ethnic and religious conflict in Ireland? Why has armed violence proven so hard to control? Who are the major figures and issues in the conflict? Can we expect more 'Northern Irelands' in the future?
The World Since 1945
Authors: Robbins Keith 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Keith Robbins’ accessible and stimulating account of world history since 1945 provides a framework for making sense of the political and social developments of the period. The focus is firmly on global political interaction. The underlying theme of the book is the tension between the world conceived as a unity and as a diversity. From this perspective, the author discusses the impulse towards globalization in the aftermath of the Second World War, the divisions inherent in the Cold War, and the shifting allegiances and conflicts in the decades which followed.
Civil Wars, 1922–1923
Authors: Fitzpatrick David 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Like most political ‘settlements’, partition redirected but failed to resolve the antagonisms that engendered it. The terms of settlement left almost all parties more or less dissatisfied, while encouraging dissident groups to challenge the legitimacy of Irish rather than British authorities. Yet dissent occurs and endures in every society, erupting into violent confrontation only under abnormal conditions. The rational dissentient is unlikely to rebel if alternative mechanisms for political reform are available, or if the wherewithal for effective rebellion is unavailable, or if the repressive power of the state makes rebellion risky enough. An efficiently coercive state may succeed for long periods in averting armed rebellion, even if its antagonists are thoroughly alienated from the political process.
The Industrial Revolution 1760-1830
Authors: Ashton T S 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Industrial Revolution has sometimes been regarded as a catastrophe which desecrated the English landscape and brought social opporession and appalling physical hardship to the workers. In this book, however, it is presented as an important and beneficial mark of progress. In spite of destructive wars and a rapid growth of population, the material living standards of most of the British people improved, and the technical innovations not only brought economic rewards but also provoked greater intellectual ingenuity. Innovation is therefore seen by Ashton not just as an economic course but as a social and cultural process influenced by factors such as war and peace and the framework of law and institutions. Lucidly argued and authoritative, this bookplaces the phenomenon of the Industrial Revolution in a stimulating perpsective. A new Preface by Professor Pat Hudson outlines the results of recent research precipitated by Ashton's themes: the true causes of population growth in the eighteenth century, the nature of the supply of capital, and the new approaches to labour studies amongst others. This Preface places The Industrial Revolution in its contemporary context, and a new thoroughly updated bibliography means that fifty years on, Ashton's work can continue to be of value to modern readers.
The Life and Death of Industrial Languedoc, 1700–1920
Authors: Johnson Christopher H 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this seminal book, Johnson writes a full-scale study of the rise and decline of industrialization in the Bas-Languedoc region of France. Working within a broad 200-year time frame, Johnson examines the process of how and why a successful industrial region (woollens) transformed itself to agriculture (wine).
Towards a Broadcasting Market: Recommendations of the British Peacock Committee
Authors: Brittan Samuel 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
British broadcasting is provided and financed in a way remarkably different from other goods and services. First, there is no direct payment by consumers. Broadcasting is financed partly by a hypothecated tax on the possession of a television set, known as the licence fee. The proceeds are used to fund BBC radio -which takes just under 30 percent of the proceeds as well as BBC television. The BBC does not take advertising. Independent Television (ITV) is financed, on the other hand, entirely by advertising. In other words it is paid for indirectly by consumers via the prices of goods in the shops.
Epidemiology and Cross National Comparisons
Authors: Helzer John E , Canino glorisa J 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Comparison of illness rates across national boundaries or cultural groups can lead to a better understanding of risk, protective, and etiological factors involved in specific mental disorders. Conceptually this is relatively straightforward: Prevalence or incidence rates of a particular disorder are compared across groups to look for similarities and differences. Similarities suggest that cultural differences between the groups may have little impact on the occurrence of the illness. Conversely, when cross-cultural differences in illness rates are found, additional differences in social or cultural variables are sought to see if they correlate with the rate differences. Such correlates provide clues for further etiological investigation.
Alcohol Abuse and Dependence in Edmonton, Canada
Authors: Bland Roger c. , Newman, stephen c. , orn helene 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Alberta, the westernmost of Canada’s three prairie provinces, became a province in 1905. It is bounded on the north by the Northwest Territories, and on the south, at the 49th parallel, by the state of Montana. The province is landlocked, the eastern boundary is with Saskatchewan, and the western with British Columbia, at the Rocky Mountains. The area is 661,185 sq.km., with a north-south dimension of 1221 km. and an east-west dimension of 650 km. In the 1981 national census the population was 2.2 million. Edmonton, the capital city of the province, is situated centrally and has a population of over half a million. Following the Second World War and with the discovery of oil and gas deposits, the provincial economy expanded rapidly, but agriculture is still significant to Alberta. From the early 1970s to 1982, oil and gas developments increased rapidly and there was a 37.5 percent growth in the provincial population from 1971 to 1981. Since 1982, there has been a marked downturn in the economy, particularly the natural resource sector, but also in agriculture, and the unemployment rate has gone from less than 3 percent in the late 1970s to about 12 percent currently.
Alcohol Abuse and Dependence Among American Indians
Authors: Manson Spero m. , Shore james h. , Baron anna e. , ackerson, lynn , neligh gordon 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Current, community-based epidemiologic studies of alcohol abuse and dependence among American Indians are nonexistent. Indeed, state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques only recently have been applied in this special population (Manson et al., 1987; Walker, Walker, & Kivlahan, 1988; Westermeyer & Neider, 1984, 1985). Reasons for this delay include long-standing concerns about the cultural factors that affect reliable measurement and diagnosis (Levy & Kunitz, 1974; Manson, Walker, & Kivlahan, 1987; Walker & Kivlahan, 1984). Difficulties in sampling and resulting limits to meaningful generalization have also slowed the advance of scientific inquiry. Our work inevitably reflects these circumstances and has addressed itself to the first order problem. Specifically, we are attempting to improve the assessment process by combining local explanatory models for dysfunction with psychiatric diagnostic criteria (Manson & Shore, 1981; Manson, Shore, & Bloom, 1985). The DIS has played a central role in this endeavor.
Comparative Analysis of Alcoholism in Ten Cultural Regions
Authors: Helzer John e. , Canino glorisa j. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The advantages for cross-national comparisons of having the same set of diagnostic criteria and the same interview structure are obvious and have been highlighted by the preceeding chapters. It is a premise of this book that the DSM-III criteria are appropriate to the multiple cultural contexts in which we have applied them. In order to draw conclusions from the intercultural similarities and differences these chapters identify, we need assurance that the interview and diagnostic methods used here are appropriate to the task.
The Irreducible Triad of Well-Being
Authors: Cloninger C Robert 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The DNA code was hailed as the key to the secrets of life when its self-replicating structure was recognized (Watson and Crick 1953). DNA is the pervasive mechanism of heritable long-term memory for the cells of all the domains of life dis covered on earth, even though pathogenic prion proteins are also self-replicating without nucleic acids. Hence, DNA indicates a pervasive unity and order for all known forms of normal life.
The Unexpected Ronald Reagan
Authors: Gaddis John Lewis 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The task of the historian is, very largely, one of explaining how we got from where we were to where we are today. To say that the Reagan administration’s policy toward the Soviet Union is going to pose special challenges to historians is to understate the matter: rarely has there been a greater gap between the expectations held for an administration at the beginning of its term and the results it actually produced. The last thing one would have anticipated at the time Ronald Reagan took office in 1981 was that he would use his eight years in the White House to bring about the most significant improvement in Soviet-American relations since the end of World War II. I am not at all sure that President Reagan himself foresaw this result. And yet, that is precisely what happened, with-admittedly-a good deal of help from Mikhail Gorbachev. The question of how this happened and to what extent it was the product of accident or of conscious design is going to preoccupy scholars for years to come. The observations that follow are a rough first attempt to grapple with that question. Because we lack access to the archives or even to very much memoir material as yet, what I will have to say is of necessity preliminary, incomplete, and almost certainly in several places dead wrong. Those are the hazards of working with contemporary history, though; if historians are not willing to run these risks, political scientists and journalists surely will. That prospect in itself provides ample justification for plunging ahead.
Dance Anecdotes
Authors: Aloff Mindy 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Mindy Aloff, a leading dance critic who has written for The Nation, The New Republic, and The New Yorker, has brought together here a marvelous book of stories by and about dancers--entertaining and informative anecdotes that capture the boundless variety and richness of dance as an art, a tradition, a profession, a pastime, an obsession, a reality, and, for the dancer, an ideal. George Balanchine is here, and so are Fred Astaire, Margot Fonteyn, Rudolf Nureyev, Savion Glover, Martha Graham, and Lola Montez, and also stars from other arts--such as Akira Kurosawa and Bob Dylan--who have spoken about dancing with wit or illumination. There are stories about Irene and Vernon Castle, Cyd Charisse and Gene Kelly, Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon, Paul Taylor and Mark Morris. We read about the charisma and spontaneity of Anna Pavlova, about the secret to Vaslav Nijinsky’ s success ("I worked like an ox and I lived like a martyr"), about George Balanchine racing to a union dispute with a bag of dimes. Many of the stories are amusing, but some are rueful, even sad, and a few are dark. Aloff concludes the volume with an essay about how dancing has been able to record its past, sometimes over centuries, and about how the art of the dancer, apparently as ephemeral in performance as cloud patterns, turns out, when conditions are hospitable, to be much more hardy and resilient than many people suppose. A glorious promenade of stories that stretch as far back as classical times and as far afield as Japan, India, and Java, this superb collection will be treasured by everyone who loves dance, whether young or old.
Perennial Renaissance: The Marketing Challenge in High Tech Settings
Authors: Kosnik Thomas J 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In the last decade, interest in high tech marketing has skyrocketed. Books by Regis McKenna (1985), a prominent Silicon Valley consultant, and William Davidow (1986), an Intel Executive turned venture capitalist, have met a receptive audience among business practitioners who believe that marketing in high technology settings is fundamentally different from traditional marketing. A textbook by Shanklin and Ryans (1984) has been used in university courses by students searching for the elusive formula for success in high tech marketing. The business press has made folk heroes out of high tech entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, founder of Apple Computer and Next, Inc.; Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft; and Ken Olsen, founder of Digital Equipment Corporation. High tech has become synonymous with high excitement.
Fanny Brice
Authors: Goldman Herbert G 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
An all-round entertainer of matchless ability and versatility, Fanny Brice was one of the great names of American musical theatre either side of the First World War. However, apart from the distorting biopics Funny Girl and Funny Lady, starring Barbra Streisand, little has been written about her dazzling career or complex private life. In this first biography of a beloved star of burlesque, vaudeville, and radio, Herbert Goldman reveals a strong woman who was equally adept at comedy, farce, and drama, and whose torch songs were the highlight of innumerable Ziegfeld Follies. He also examines the influence of her Jewish background on her work, and her troubled marriages to Nick Arnstein, the gangster who rigged baseball’s World Series in 1919, and impresario Billy Rose.
Vascular Smooth Muscle and Its Regulation
Authors: Milnor William R 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Smooth muscle is the mechanically active tissue in blood vessels, the effector of control in the vascular tree. All blood vessels except capillaries contain smooth muscle cells, and their contraction or relaxation changes the distensibility of the vascular wall. Vasoconstriction and vasodilatation are consequently brought about by the activity of vascular smooth muscle. Although nerve signals are an important element in controlling this muscle, z.4o a variety of blood-borne or locally produced substances also act directly on vascular smooth muscle cells.

The Impact of Judicial Intervention on Prisons and Jails: A Framework for Analysis and a Review of the Literature
Authors: Feeley Malcolm M , Hanson Roger A 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
During the past thirty years the federal courts have become one of the principal agents of change in the nation’s prisons and jails. In the 1960s federal courts used the First Amendment’s protections of free expression and the Fifth and Fourteenth amendments’ due process clauses to protect prisoners’ religious observances and access to communication and to impose orderly procedures on disciplinary hearings and classification systems.
Threshold of War
Authors: Heinrichs Waldo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
For Franklin D. Roosevelt, the spring of 1941 was a time of uncertainty and fear. Hitler’s armies were poised to strike, but no one was sure where the next attack would come, and Churchill and members of Roosevelt’s administration were urging him to intervene before it was too late. In this illuminating and comprehensive account of the American entry into World War II, Waldo Heinrichs shows that Roosevelt was not the vacillating, impulsive, and disorganized leader as he is often portrayed, but a cautious, rational man, capable of acting with great determination. A masterly account of a key moment in history, Threshold of War is both a distinguished work of scholarship and a moving narrative that captures the tension as Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, Stimson, Hull, and numerous others struggled to shape American policy in the climactic months before Pearl Harbour.
Yiddish Adaptations of Children’s Stories from World Literature
Authors: Shmeruk Chone 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In the original German prose version in the famous collection by the Brothers Grimm, no name other than Red Riding-Hood is mentioned.1 But in the rhymed Yiddish version, entitled “Royt mentele” (“Little Red Coat”), the girl is given a name to rhyme with the title: Yentele. In this version of the tale, the story takes place on Purim. Yentele is on her way to bring grandma the traditional basket of Purim treats: a homentash, a strudel, a Purim-cake and a fruit layer cake. There is no hunter as there is in the original; instead, the hero who saves Yentele and grandma is Yehiel, the water carrier.
Bandwagon Images in American Foreign Policy: Myth or Reality?
Authors: Larson Deborah Welch 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In 1947, George Kennan warned that loss of Greece would“render a tremendous impetus to 'band wagon' adherents to the communist movement:”
It might well be sufficient to push both Italy and France across that fateful line which divides the integrity and independence of national life from the catastrophe of communist dictatorship. It might mean that final loss of our positions in North Africa; and the Iberian peninsula could then not long holdout. It might well make hopeless the position of other non-communist countries in northwestern Europe …. It would necessarily paralyze the political will of [England] and would probably make it impossible for it to do anything else than to cling to a precarious and unhappy neutrality.
The Truman Administration and Global Responsibilities: The Birth of the Falling Domino Principle
Authors: Macdonald Douglas J 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
On April 7, 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower spoke on Indochina at a press conference: you have broader considerations that might follow what you would call the“falling domino” principle. You have a row of dominoes set up, you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is the certainty that it will go over very quickly
As Moscow Sees US
Authors: Mills Richard M 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
As perestroika has dramatically altered the political climate in the Soviet Union, so too has Mikhail Gorbachev's agenda of reform modified America's disposition towards its superpower rival. Yet how do the Soviet people and policy-makers perceive the United States and its political and socio-economic structure? How do American politics and society appear when scrutinized by Marxist-Leninist theory? How do Soviet ideologues and intellectuals struggle to place American successes within a rigid ideological framework? In this work, Richard Mills examines the ways in which Soviet analysts interpret American domestic and foreign politics and the complex factors that shape continuities and changes in the Soviet framework.
Inhibin and Inhibin-Related Proteins
Authors: Robertson David M , Risbridger, Gail P , Kretser David M de 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
It has been recognized for many years that the gonads produce a nonsteroidal factor termed inhibin that preferentially suppresses pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion. Progress in its isolation, characterization, and clarification of its physiology, however, has only occurred since 1985 after the development of sensitive and reliable in vitro bioassay methods that provided a means to monitor the purification of inhibin and to provide baseline information on its physiology and mechanism of action. During this period inhibin has been purified from the gonadal extracts of several species, its amino acid sequence determined by cloning techniques, and, more recently, expressed in human cell lines. Its role in the physiological control of FSH secretion has been clarified with the development of sensitive radioimmunoassay methods. Much of the early work concentrated in females, particularly with the isolation and characterization of inhibin from ovarian follicular fluid sources; however, inhibin with similar characteristics to that isolated in females has also been isolated from male gonadal extracts.
Introduction
Authors: Cameron Rondo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The papers collected in this volume deal with international banking and investment in an important historical era, the generation or so before World War I. In that period international investment reached dimensions previously unknown, and the banking systems of the world achieved a degree of internationalization also without precedent. It should not be thought, however, that either international banking or international investment were novelties. On the contrary, each had centuries-long histories. This brief introduction is intended to provide a context for appreciating the developments that occurred after 1870.
