From comic verse to practical jokes, pornography to satire, acting to acrobatics, the Renaissance witnessed the flowering of play in all its forms. In the first wide-ranging and accessible introduction to play in Renaissance Italy, Peter Burke, celebrated historian of the Italian Renaissance, synthesizes over forty years’ research, explores the various forms of play in this period, and offers an overview that reveals the many connections between its different domains. While play could be rough, the Church played an increasing role in determining acceptable and unacceptable forms of play, and, after campaigns against violence and obscenity, much of the licentiousness characteristic of the early Renaissance was tamed. This entertaining study of play reveals much about the culture of Renaissance Italy, and illuminates an essential element in human life.

Precise and Efficient
Polarity analysis is an efficient method that helps a busy practitioner by making the homeopathic prescription faster and more precise. The Swiss physician Heiner Frei developed this method to demonstrate the efficacy of homeopathic treatment of ADHD children in a controlled 5-year clinical study. The study demonstrated highly significant effects of homeopathy.
Polarity analysis is based on Boenninghausen’s Therapeutic Pocketbook and has revolutionised homeopathic treatment. Cornerstones of the prescription are polar symptoms such as amelioration or aggravation by heat or motion. They mirror the disturbed vital force. Polarity analysis goes directly to the core of the case. It offers clear differentiation of a manageable number of 133 remedies.
Heiner Frei’s method is easy to learn. He shows us all its facets and nuances by leading us through 40 exciting cases, from acute hearing loss, allergic disease, chronic obstructive bronchitis, mononucleosis, mumps and scarlet fever to ADHD, Asperger syndrome and epilepsy. Casetaking is facilitated by checklists and questionnaires.
This book comes from the large practice of an experienced homeopathic physician as well as from a passionate researcher who will not rest until he can bring his inspired discovery to perfection. His success rate of 80% speaks for itself.
“With Heiner Frei’s polarity analysis, the Boenninghausen method has reached a peak of perfection which we have witnessed in our practice. The modalities are a direct reaction of the vital force to any pathological disturbance: unlike psychological symptoms, they do not require any interpretation. Polarity analysis is a reliable method and it enhances our work, especially for quick treatment of acute illness and for hyperactive children – we would certainly not want to do without it again.” Ulrich Welte
"By the way, the book is beyond fantastic. It is without a doubt the clearest, most precise homeopathy book I have read. Congrats over and again!" Lauren Hubele
"I bought the book and love it. Read it cover to cover twice in a week." Peter Gold

When Samuel Beckett’s work first appeared, it was routinely described, by Adorno amongst others, as a clear example of European high culture. However, this judgement ignored an aspect of Beckett’s work and its reception that is, arguably, not yet fully understood; the intimate relation between his work and popular culture. Beckett used popular cultural forms; but popular culture has also found a place both for the work and for the man. This collection of essays examines how popular cultural forms and media are woven into the fabric of Beckett’s works, and how Beckett continues to have far-reaching impact on popular culture today in a host of different forms, in film and on television, from comics to meme culture, tourism to marketing.

The analysis of blood, bone marrow and tissue fluid specimens requires a multi-faceted approach with the integration of scientific data from a number of disciplines. No single discipline can operate in isolation or errors will occur. Flow cytometry is in a privileged position in that it can provide rapid analysis of specimens and it is often the first definitive investigation to produce results and help formulate a working diagnosis. This companion text to Practical Flow Cytometry in Haematology Diagnosis contains 100 worked examples drawn from real clinical cases presenting to the authors’ institution. Cases are illustrated with peripheral blood and bone marrow cytology, tissue pathology and cytogenetic and molecular data, which are integrated to generate, where appropriate, a diagnosis based on the WHO Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues. The spectrum of clinical cases includes adult and paediatric patients, and both neoplastic and reactive disorders. The cases appear in no particular order to challenge the reader to make their own diagnosis. The reader will review May−Gr?nwald−Giemsa (MGG)-stained films of peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirates presented alongside flow cytometric data and haematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained bone marrow and other tissue biopsy sections. Immunohistochemistry is used to further clarify the tissue lineage and cell differentiation. Cytogenetic studies using metaphase preparations are used to identify translocations and chromosome gains and losses whilst interphase fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) studies and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are used to identify gene fusions, gene rearrangements and deletions. Each case concludes with a discussion of the features that are important to making a diagnosis. The cases are also listed according to disease classification in the appendix so that the text can also be used as a reference. Practical Flow Cytometry in Haematology: 100 Worked Examples: Provides a practical, example-based resource for flow cytometry Demonstrates how flow cytometry results should be interpreted and applied to optimize patient care Includes both malignant and benign conditions Can be used in conjunction with Practical Flow Cytometry in Haematology Diagnosis, by the same author team (ISBN 9780470671207) Practical Flow Cytometry in Haematology: 100 Worked Examples is ideal for practicing haematologists and histopathologists with an interest in haematopathology, but particularly directed at trainee haematologists and scientists preparing for FRCPath and related examinations.

Discover an insightful examination of the property investment appraisal process from leaders in the industry    This book explains the process of property investment appraisal: the process of estimating both the most likely selling price (market value) and the worth of property investments to individuals or groups of investors (investment value).  Valuations are important. They are used as a surrogate for transactions in the measurement of investment performance and they influence investors and other market operators when transacting property. Valuations need to be trusted by their clients and valuers need to produce rational and objective solutions. Appraisals of worth are even more important, as they help to determine the prices that should be paid for assets, even in times of crisis, and they can indicate market under- or over-pricing.  In a style that makes the theory as well as the practice of valuation accessible to students and practitioners, the authors provide a valuable critique of conventional valuation methods and argue for the adoption of more contemporary cash-flow methods. They explain how such valuation models are constructed and give useful examples throughout. They also show how these contemporary cash-flow methods connect market valuations with rational appraisals.  The UK property investment market has been through periods of both boom and bust since the first edition of this text was produced in 1988. As a result, the book includes examples generated by vastly different market states. Complex reversions, over-rented properties and leaseholds are all fully examined by the authors.  This Fourth Edition includes new material throughout, including brand new chapters on development appraisals and bank lending valuations, heavily revised sections on discounted cash flow models with extended examples, and on the measurement and analysis of risk at an individual property asset level. The heart of the book remains the critical examination of market valuation models, which no other book addresses in such detail.

Er legt dar, wie sie sich beeinflussen lassen, wie schwach die Resistenz von Menschenmassen gegen L?gen und Manipulation ist. Nicht nur erkl?rt Psychologie der Massen die schreckliche Dynamik der Bewegungen des Faschismus, auch im Marketing und Management findet das Werk von Gustave Le Bon immer noch Anwendung, denn es l?sst sich direkt auf das menschliche Konsumverhalten umlegen.

Der mit zahlreichen Titeln und Ehrungen ausgezeichnete John Martin Littlejohn (1865-1947) gilt unter Experten nicht nur als bedeutendster Osteopath des 20. Jahrhunderts, sondern auch als Begr?nder der modernen Biomechanik. In unz?hligen Artikeln und Aufzeichnungen hebt er das geniale Konzept seines Lehrers A.T. Still (1828-1917), dem Entdecker der Osteopathie, auf allerh?chstes zeitgen?ssisches Wissenschaftsniveau. – Geradezu brillant erarbeitete er die ?berragende Bedeutung des Nervensystems bei allen psychophysiologischen Prozessen, sowie die Rolle der Lebenskraft als eigentlichen Heiler. W?hrend seiner fast 50-j?hrigen Lehrt?tigkeit in Kirksville, Chicago und der von ihm gegr?ndeten ersten europ?ischen Osteopathieschule in London (BSO) lehrte er die Bedeutung der therapeutischen Integration, entwickelte die Grundlage f?r zahlreiche Techniken (HVLA, Unwinding, etc.) und trug ma?geblich zum ?berleben der klassischen Osteopathie bei. – Zum Inhalt: «Psychophysiologie» repr?sentiert eine exzellente Ausarbeitung des wohl spannendsten Themas in der gesamten Medizin ?berhaupt dar: Die Verbindung zwischen K?rper und Geist aus therapeutischer Sicht. Minuti?s spannt der Autor darin einen weiten Bogen von der minuti?sen Ausarbeitung des Zentralen und Vegetativen Nervensystem ?ber Arbeitshypothesen bezgl. des Bewusstseins bis hin zu komplexen philosophischen Betrachtungsweisen des Zusammenspiels dieser Einzelaspekte. Insbesondere der letzte Abschnitt greift dabei geradezu vision?r Jahrzehnte voraus.
„Im Menschen gibt es das, was mangels eines besseren Ausdrucks Lebenskraft genannt wird. Es handelt sich nicht um das vitale Prinzip oder die Seele bzw. den subjektiven Geist, sondern um die Lebenskraft bzw. jene Kraft, die im K?rper entspringt und dort als Ergebnis der Vereinigung des Geistes oder einfacher Substanz mit Materie verbleibt. Das ist es, was der Psychologe unter objektivem Geist versteht. Das Prinzip besagter Lebenskraft besteht in der Kraft des Flie?ens oder der Schwingung wie bei den physischen Kr?ften. Sie kann Substanz durchdringen, ohne sie zu beeinflussen oder zu modifizieren. Es gibt also drei Ebenen: die rein materielle, die rein geistige oder psychische Ebene und jene, die durch Vereinigung beider Ebenen entsteht – die Ebene der Lebenskraft.“ (J.M. Littlejohn, 1902)
