A Field Guide to the Reptiles of Thailand

A Field Guide to the Reptiles of Thailand

Tanya Chan-ard; Jarujin Nabhitabhata; John W. K. Parr

Oxford University Press Inc
2015
sidottu
Thailand is home to over 350 species of reptiles, consisting of many kinds of turtles and tortoises, lizards, snakes and crocodiless. With its extensive network of protected areas, Thailand is one of the richest and most ecologically diverse countries in the world. However, many of these species are being threatened more than ever before, including habitat loss caused by agricultural expansion and intensification, and from wildlife trade. For herpetologists and naturalists, understanding the reptiles of Thailand is now more important than ever before. With A Field Guide to the Reptiles of Thailand, Tanya Chan-ard, John Parr, and Jarujin Nabhitabhata present the definitive resource for identifying and understanding all known species of reptile in the region. It is the only updated and complete guide to the country's reptilian life in existence. The book contains an account of every species, complete with nomenclature, colour illustrations, and range maps of known locations. The accounts include discussion of behaviour, morphological measurements, and habitat, as well as the most current information on each species' conservation status. The authors explain the current system of classifying the threat level of endangerment, making the presented information and terminology understandable and useful. The introduction to the book discusses the history of herpetology in Thailand, as well as its climate, physiography, and zoogeography. A section on how to use the guide most effectively has also been included to make the book accessible to a wide range of both scientists and nature enthusiasts. A Field Guide to the Reptiles of Thailand is the definitive and most comprehensive resource for herpetologists, naturalists, and conservationists working in Thailand.

Prescribing under Pressure

Prescribing under Pressure

Tanya Stivers

Oxford University Press Inc
2011
nidottu
Antibiotics will soon no longer be able to cure common illnesses such as strep throat, sinusitis and middle ear infections as they have done for the last 60 years. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are increasing at a much faster rate than new antibiotics to treat them are being developed. The prescription of antibiotics for viral illnesses is a key cause of increasing bacterial resistance. Despite this fact, many children continue to receive antibiotics unnecessarily for the treatment of viral upper respiratory tract infections. Why do American physicians continue to prescribe inappropriately given the high social stakes of this action? The answer appears to lie in the fundamentally social nature of medical practice: physicians do not prescribe as the result of a clinical algorithm but prescribe in the context of a conversation with a parent and a child. Thus, physicians have a classic social dilemma which pits individual parents and children against a greater social good. This book examines parent-physician conversations in detail, showing how parents put pressure on doctors in largely covert ways, for instance in specific communication practices for explaining why they have brought their child to the doctor or answering a history-taking question. This book also shows how physicians yield to this seemingly subtle pressure evidencing that apparently small differences in wording have important consequences for diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Following parents use of these interactional practices, physicians are more likely to make concessions, alter their diagnosis or alter their treatment recommendation. This book also shows how small changes in the way physicians present their findings and recommendations can decrease parent pressure for antibiotics. This book carefully documents the important and observable link between micro social interaction and macro public health domains.

The House You Were Born In

The House You Were Born In

Tanya Standish McIntyre

MCGILL-QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY PRESS
2022
nidottu
a keeper of things forgotten, a vase / for pictures made by words, a riverbed / for the stories you tell, an earthen silhouette / of a childWith vivid imagery and endless compassion for her subjects, Tanya Standish McIntyre’s words breathe life. Her richly lyrical phrases capture both the fear and the beauty of growing up in a rural working-class community, anchored by the magical bond between a young girl and her grandfather. Way’s Mills, Quebec, is the setting for these poems, although as with Mark Twain’s Mississippi, physical place becomes a place in the heart in this elegy for lost ancestral farms. Standish McIntyre gives voice to the unspoken, shining a light into the dark corners of our collective memory to reveal an indelible past that gleams with clarity, empathy, and humanity. Taking seed in the dilapidated barns and warm sunlit rooms of Standish McIntyre’s personal history, these poems weave a filigree of well-worn remembrances and time-honoured treaties of the self, half forgotten yet ever lingering. Lucid, sharp, and crisp as spring water, this collection holds a sweeping narrative power that will stay with you long after the last line.

You Are Not A Diagnosis

You Are Not A Diagnosis

Tanya Byron

PENGUIN BOOKS LTD
2026
sidottu
Maybe you’ve been there: sleepless, overwhelmed, numb with sadness, scrolling through endless posts that tell you your feelings must mean you’re anxious, depressed, or traumatised. Maybe you’re a parent, watching your teenager do the same. And maybe you’ve wondered: Am I broken? Are they? I know that question. I’ve asked it myself. And after thirty years as a clinical psychologist, I’ve watched countless patients wrestle with it too. The truth? Sometimes exhaustion is burnout. Sometimes anxiety is simply the weight of living in a world that feels too much. These aren’t symptoms to be labelled away — they’re human experiences to be heard, held, and lived through. The trouble is, therapy-speak has taken over. We’ve started calling every heartbreak depression, every worry trauma, every distraction ADHD. In doing so, we’ve drowned out those who really are living with mental health conditions, and we’ve lost something essential: the ability to listen to ourselves, and to one another. This is not a book about dismissing distress — it’s about reclaiming it. To show you how to uncover what you’re really feeling beneath the jargon, how to tell the difference between distress and disorder, and how to find healing not in hashtags or self-diagnosis, but in the conversations and communities that sustain us. If you’ve ever feared that your feelings mean you’re broken, or if you’re a parent trying to understand a child lost in therapy-speak, this book is for you. Because you are not a diagnosis. You are human — and you deserve to be heard.

Women Musicians of Uzbekistan

Women Musicians of Uzbekistan

Tanya Merchant

University of Illinois Press
2015
sidottu
Fascinated by women's distinct influence on Uzbekistan's music, Tanya Merchant ventures into Tashkent's post-Soviet music scene to place women musicians within the nation's evolving artistic and political arenas. Drawing on fieldwork and music study carried out between 2001 and 2014, Merchant challenges the Western idea of Central Asian women as sequestered and oppressed. Instead, she notes, Uzbekistan's women stand at the forefront of four prominent genres: maqom, folk music, Western art music, and popular music. Merchant's recounting of the women's experiences, stories, and memories underscores the complex role that these musicians and vocalists play in educational institutions and concert halls, street kiosks and the culturally essential sphere of wedding music. Throughout the book, Merchant ties nationalism and femininity to performances and reveals how the music of these women is linked to a burgeoning national identity. Important and revelatory, Women Musicians of Uzbekistan looks into music's part in constructing gendered national identity and the complicated role of femininity in a former Soviet republic's national project.
