One of the most tragic political assassinations in Soviet history occurred on December 1, 1934-the murder of Sergei Kirov, First Secretary of the Leningrad Communist Party Organization. His death, like a bolt from the blue, shook the entire country. A trusted friend and close confidant of Stalin, Kirov had once been a tireless enforcer of the Party line. By the late 1920s and early 1930s, however, he had risen as a beloved leader of the rapidly industrializing Soviet Russia. Respected by Party members at all levels, Kirov's influence grew- perhaps too much for Stalin's comfort. Some of Kirov's views clashed with Stalin's, particularly regarding the harsh treatment of Party personnel. At the 1932 Party Plenum, Kirov even received more votes than Stalin in a secret ballot for the membership in the Communist Party's Central Committee. Kirov was a powerful, charismatic speaker and a very popular figure both within the party and generally. It is no stretch to imagine that Stalin could see him as a threat to his own leadership role. The bilingual rhymed tale presented here, was originally written in Russian and then translated into English. It dramatizes the fateful encounter between Kirov and Stalin, set on the brink of Kirov's murder. The encounter imagines a political clash between the two, that seals Kirov's tragic fate. While rooted in historical facts, the entire tale remains a work of fiction. It attempts to be a reflection on power, fear and conspiracy - where absolute authority demands absolute loyalty, with those who challenge it paying the ultimate price.

Dementia is a syndrome characterized by cognitive and non-cognitive symptoms. This book focuses on the clinically distinct categories of non-cognitive symptoms. These are grouped together under the umbrella term Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms in Dementia (BPSD). BPSD include agitation (describing a cluster of related symptoms including anxiety, irritability and motor restlessness, often leading to behaviours such as wandering, pacing, aggression, shouting and night-time disturbances), psychosis (referring to three main categories of symptoms: hallucinations, delusions and delusional misidentification) and mood disorders (depression, anxiety and hypomania). Other symptoms include sexual disinhibition, eating problems and abnormal vocalizations (shouting, screaming and demanding attention). There are many reasons why a patient with dementia may develop BPSD. Because of these potential different aetiologies, a full and careful assessment of possible physical, psychological and environmental factors is essential. This book will inform all of those responsible for caring for the patient with dementia about the identification of BPSD, the nature of the symptoms, assessment of their severity and recommends a structured and sequential approach to management. The authors are internationally respected, combining expertise from the fields of clinical research, psychiatry and clinical psychology to provide an integrated approach to the topic.
The period between 1870 and 1920 was one of the most dynamic in American history. This era witnessed the invention of the automobile, the establishment of women's suffrage, and the opening of the Panama Canal. While a time of great advancement, the Gilded Age and Progressive Era were also periods of uncertainty as Americans coped with corrupt politicians, unchecked big business, and a vast influx of immigrants. SR Books offers a new approach to this time period in its book The Human Tradition in the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. This volume looks at the experiences of 13 people who contributed to the shaping of American culture and thought during this period. These concise accounts are written by leading historians and give students an intimate view of history. This is an excellent text for courses in American studies.
