        Steve and Bindi Irwin, Updated Edition

        by Amy E. Breguet

        Steve Irwin, an Australian wildlife conservationist, brought adventure and the wilderness to television with his wildly popular TV show The Crocodile Hunter. Known for his hands-on approach to dealing with all kinds of wild animals—the dangerous and the poisonous included—Irwin was tragically killed when a stingray barb pierced his chest while he was taping a show segment in 2006. His legacy, however, continues through the work of his family, including his daughter, Bindi Sue. Already making a name for herself as "the Jungle Girl" in television, film, and books, Bindi has taken over where her father left off. In Steve and Bindi Irwin, Updated Edition, read about the lives and passions of both the Crocodile Hunter and the Jungle Girl.

        Marcel Reich-Ranicki antwortet auf 99 Fragen

        by Marcel Reich-Ranicki, Volker Weidermann, Hans-Joachim Simm

        Die Rubrik der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung "Fragen Sie Reich-Ranicki" ist längst eine Institution geworden. Mit Spannung werden die Fragen und mehr noch die Antworten erwartet, und natürlich betreffen sie die Literatur: "Was halten Sie von der russischen Literatur des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts?" - "Sollen wir von unseren Schriftstellern verlangen, daß sie ihre Ansichten zu aktuellen politischen Fragen öffentlich verkünden?" - "Was hätten Sie Thomas Mann gern gefragt?" Die vorliegende Sammlung der 99 interessantesten Fragen an Marcel Reich-Ranicki und seiner Antworten darf durchaus eine kleine Literaturgeschichte und ein demoskopischer Spiegel des literarischen Lebens genannt werden, und sie zeigt eines gewiß: Die Begeisterung für Literatur ist - allen Bedenken zum Trotz - nicht nur auf der Seite des Antwortenden unvermindert groß.

        Love's Sacrifice

        by A. T. Moore

        A. T. Moore's thorough commentary on "Love's Sacrifice" is designed to be of use to all kinds of readers, from students of Early Modern drama to specialists in the field. The notes provide full explanations of obscure words and phrases, and offer analyzes of many aspects of staging and interpretation. The text for this edition is based on a fresh study of the quarto of 1633, the only authoritative early text. In his introduction to the play, Moore reappraises the evidence for the play's date of composition. He also looks at the circumstances of the play's genesis, presenting detailed discussions of both the theater where "Love's Sacrifice" was first performed and the acting company for which it was written. Arguing that Ford's adaptation of his source materials is the key to interpreting this remarkably allusive play, Moore provides a wealth of new information about Ford's sources.The introduction also includes a survey of critical responses, an overview of the play, stage history, and a bibliography of relevant secondary material. This new volume in the "Revels Plays" series is the most detailed and comprehensive edition of "Love's Sacrifice" ever published - and the first modern-spelling edition of Ford's tragedy in more than a century. The play's textual history is discussed in an appendix. A second appendix examines possible links between "Love's Sacrifice" and the real-life story of the murdered Italian prince and musician Carlo Gesualdo. ;

        Managing diabetes, managing medicine

        Chronic disease and clinical bureaucracy in post-war Britain

        by Martin D. Moore, Keir Waddington, David Cantor

        This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Through its study of diabetes care in twentieth-century Britain, Managing diabetes, managing medicine offers the first historical monograph to explore how the decision-making and labour of medical professionals became subject to bureaucratic regulation and managerial oversight. Where much existing literature has cast health care management as either a political imposition or an assertion of medical control, this work positions managerial medicine as a co-constructed venture. Although driven by different motives, doctors, nurses, professional bodies, government agencies and international organisations were all integral to the creation of managerial systems, working within a context of considerable professional, political, technological, economic and cultural change.
