This book brings together open and frank conversations around art and music from the first five years of the ongoing radio show, Rough Version, on cult online station NTS Radio. Conceived and presented by writer and curator Francesca Gavin, the monthly show has captured the musical outputs and aural inspirations of some of the biggest and most interesting emerging names in contemporary art. Here music opens the door to each international artist’s practice, providing insight into who they are, what motivates them and what they love to listen to. Artists included: Adam Pendleton, Alex Da Corte, Appau Junior Boakye-Yiadom, Aria Dean, Bedwyr Williams, Celia Hempton, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Dozie Kanu, Eric N.

Watch This Space (Second Edition)

The screen is the defining object of the twenty-first century. Watch This Space examines screens, and their impact on society, the self and culture. The book, a limited edition collaboration between author Francesca Gavin and designers Luke Powell and Jody Hudson-Powell, questions what the screen is, its function and how it shapes our experience, eyes and emotions. Watch This Space offers an in-depth analysis of the object that has become an extension of our modern bodies, exploring the screens impact on our emotions and social interactions. Chapters of the book are dedicated to the political implications of the screen, from social media data gathering to Donald Trump, as well as the representation of the screen in contemporary art. The design of the book reflects the conceptual thrust of the subject matter; the material used for the front and back covers replicates the physical feel of a screen while the font, Arial Narrow, was selected in reference to the estimated 1. 5 billion computers that run the Arial font family. The book includes the work of the following artists: Adham Faramawy, Angela Washko, Angelo Plessas, Anne de Vries, Antoine Catala, Aram Bartholl, Artie Vierkant, Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme, Ben Washington, Brenna Murphy, Carla Gannis, Cecile B Evans, Celia Hempton, Chris Dorland, Constant Dullaart, Cory Arcangel, David Mullett and Duncan Ransom, Douglas Coupland, Ed Atkins, Faith Holland, James Hoff, Jasmin Werner, John Kelsey, Jon Rafman, Kari Altaman, Laura Buckley, Lawrence Lek, Lynn Hershmann Leeson, Marco Palmieri, Margot Bowman, Metahaven, Nicolas Sassoon and Rick Silva, Rachel Maclean, Rafael Rozendaal, Richard Mosse, Rosa Menkman, Samara Scott, Seana Gavin, Simon Denny, Stephan Backes, Samuel Foulacre, Tabor Robak, Tom Ireland, Travess Smalley, Yuri Pattison Designed and published by Pentagram

Phytotherapy

Phytotherapy

About 30% of all prescriptions issued in the USA, Canada and Europe contain either a herb, a purified extract or an active component derived from herbs. However, medical practitioners are often confused by conflicting information available on the safety and efficacy of herbs; herbal medicines are often co-prescribed without proper attention to adjustment of dosages. This reference guide treats the subject of herbal medicines in an integrated fashion with reference to pharmacognosy, pharmacology and toxicology. It will help to enable internists, phytotherapists, physicians, healthcare practitioners as well as students to understand why, when and how herbal medicines can be used in the treatment of diseases. Clinical and toxicological findings of herbs and their dosages are described. A great deal of pathology and therapeutic information is included. A large iconographic section can be of help when the identification of a herbal drug is in doubt. Many 2c tables as well as figures are included to clarify complex mechanisms and other information. The most important medicinal plants and drugs are illustrated with exceptional 4c plates.

Laxatives

Laxatives

Constipation is a common disorder that is often defined differently by patients and physicians. Clinically, constipation occurs when bowel move­ ments are difficult or painful. The "normality" of bowel movements, in terms of frequency, varies among individuals; frequency that is thought by one person to be constipation may be reported by another to be usual and thus normal. Often the perceived "need" to have a bowel movement leads to self-treatment with laxatives as these drugs are widely available without a prescription. This situation can raise problems in patient care, because of potential interactions between laxatives and other medications. Furthermore, chronic use (abuse) oflaxatives can cause serious medical consequences, causing patients to visit physicians, and even to be hospitalized for further evaluation and care. This has a financial impact on the patient, and on health care systems. It is essential that pharmacists, physicians and other health care practitioners counsel patients on the causes of constipation and the proper use oflaxatives. A medical work-up by a physician should be done to determine if the constipation is due to a pathological process. Often nor­ mal bowel function (for an invididual) can be maintained by diet and/or lifestyle. Most laxatives in use today are of botanical origin. Further research on the mechanism of action of these and synthetic laxatives is needed to bet­ ter define their pharmacology and toxicology.

The Sex Industry: A Survey of Sex Workers in Queensland, Australia

First published in 1997, this study reports on a study of 221 sex workers in Queensland, Australia. The workers were interviewed by an interviewer with experience in the industry. They were asked a variety of questions relating to how they came to enter the industry, their knowledge of and attitudes towards safe sex, and a variety of other questions to do with lifestyle, service use and sexual health, and contact with the police and legal system. Sex work emerges as an activity which has a number of advantages. The pay is good, the hours are short and the work enables the worker to meet some interesting people and engage in social activities. Unlike other occupations, entry into sex work is somewhat haphazard (few appearing to plan entry to this industry as a career path) but, once in the industry many find it has benefits as well as disadvantages. Primary amongst these latter are the risks of acquiring a sexually transmitted disease (AIDS being uppermost in their minds) or the fear of violence which is associated with the context in which services are provided. In addition, sex workers often manifest a lifestyle which includes substance use and abuse. Relationships with police are often problematic and many workers report experiences which are critical of the legal system. This book provides a broad insight into the industry which, for parts of Australia, is subjected to substantial change. Such insights contribute not only to our understanding of the industry itself but also to the kind of health promoting activities which need to be initiated.
