Endometriosis affects women in the reproductive years, is associated with pelvic pain and infertility, and - although not life threatening - can seriously impair health, with huge economic and social consequences. It is arguably the most frequent problem encountered in contemporary More...gynecology and is the subject of much ongoing research and innovation in management. This beautifully and comprehensively illustrated Atlas, now in its third edition, provides a useful educational tool for trainees and general obstetricians and gynecologists who may not be up-to-date with the most important recent research on the diagnosis and management of the condition; particularly expanded for this edition are the chapters on ultrasound imaging and the nutritional aspects of the subject.
The Messianic Apostasy: A Synopsis of the Historical Deviation of Pauline Orthodoxy provides a reappraisal of early Pauline theology in the context of 1st-century Palestine and the Hellenistic world in which Paul lived.This scholarly text examines the heretical elements within St Paul's theology in the context of his contemporary Judaism and how the early Christian church of the first three centuries of the Common Era drew its influences from him.Theological scholar, Colin E Davis, investigates the philosophical and religious zeitgeist of the period and Paul's eventual development of the concept of "his Christ figure" along possible Nazarean lines.(About the Author)Colin E Davis has resided in Bracken Ridge, Brisbane, Australia, for almost sixty-five years. He holds degrees in theology and Roman studies, including a Bachelor of Arts with honours, a Master of Literary Studies in philosophy, theology, and Roman political theory, and a D. Lit.

This biography of Confederate financial agent Colin McRae is now offered in an expanded 2008 edition which includes archival documents, correspondence and accounting records that illustrate how this man was instrumental in the financial management of the Southern States during the Civil War. Arnold (Texas A&M U.) has easily doubled Davis' original 1960 text, adding more insight into how McRae used blockade running along the Mississippi River to shore up financial strength in order to fight the war. Written for Civil War history buffs and students, this book contains plenty of photographs of the original documents and correspondence.
During the decade that followed World War II, American and British dockworkers undertook a series of militant revolts against their employers, their governments, and even their union leaderships. In this in-depth comparative study, Colin Davis explores the upheavals on both sides of the Atlantic. Davis examines the dynamics of work and work stoppage along the two pivotal waterfronts, showing how issues of race, organized crime, union affiliation, working conditions, and Cold War politics shaped waterfront uprisings and the state's response to them. He explores other key differences between American and British labor, such as the cultural forces that led to the emergence of rank-and-file dockworkers' movements, degree of governmental oversight, methods of obtaining work, and specifics of ethnic and racial identification. An eye-opening look at dockworker influence in postwar industry, Waterfront Revolts reveals how workers and trade unions directly influenced Cold War politics, the economy, and culture across national borders.
Undercliffe Cemetery in Bradford contains many grand 19th-century monuments: finely decorated obelisks, extravagent mausoleums and huge columns abound.

Deep-sea fishing has always been a hazardous occupation, with crews facing gale-force winds, huge waves and swells, and unrelenting rain and snow. For those New England and British fishermen whose voyages took them hundreds of miles from the coastline, life was punctuated by strenuous work, grave danger, and frequent fear. Unsurprisingly, every fishing port across the world has memorials to those lost at sea.During the 1960s and 1970s, these seafaring workers experienced new hardships. As modern fleets from many nations intensified their hunt for fish, they found themselves in increasing competition for disappearing prey. Colin J. Davis details the unfolding drama as New England and British fishermen and their wives, partners, and families reacted to this competition. Rather than acting as bystanders to these crises, the men and women chronicled in Contested and Dangerous Seas became fierce advocates for the health of the Atlantic Ocean fisheries and for their families' livelihoods.

These essays explore problems with digital approaches to analog objects and offer digital methods to study networks of production, dissemination, and collection. Further, they reflect on the limitations of those methods and speak to a central truth of digital projects: unlike traditional scholarship, digital scholarship is often the result of collective networks of not only disciplinary scholars but also of library professionals and other technical and professional staff as well as students.
Shadow Tech is an alchemical exploration into the human shadow. Among several models discussed, destructive cultural drives are related to viruses and parasites in biology and information systems. Cyclical destructive behavior is attributed to the "victim-victor cycle". Culture and mind are shown to be organic operating systems which act as mediums for viral transmission of shadow energies. The authors share their own experiences and alchemical philosophy, as well as effective methods for balancing repressed destructive energies.What's next for those who have taken the "Red Pill"? The authors have found alchemical shadow work to be a powerful tool for balancing their internal states and the raising of their consciousness. The biggest battle for the minds of humanity is not waged "out there" - it's waged inside the psychic states of every human being.
In 1976, the US Supreme Court ruled in Gregg v. Georgia that the death penalty was constitutional if it complied with certain specific provisions designed to ensure that it was reserved for the 'worst of the worst.' The same court had rejected the death penalty just four years before in the Furman decision because it found that the penalty had been applied in a capricious and arbitrary manner. The 1976 decision ushered in the 'modern' period of the US death penalty, setting the country on a course to execute over 1,400 inmates in the ensuing years, with over 8,000 individuals currently sentenced to die. Now, forty years after the decision, the eminent political scientist Frank Baumgartner along with a team of younger scholars (Marty Davidson, Kaneesha Johnson, Arvind Krishnamurthy, and Colin Wilson) have collaborated to assess the empirical record and provide a definitive account of how the death penalty has been implemented. Each chapter addresses a precise empirical question and provides evidence, not opinion, about whether how the modern death penalty has functioned. They decided to write the book after Justice Breyer issued a dissent in a 2015 death penalty case in which he asked for a full briefing on the constitutionality of the death penalty. In particular, they assess the extent to which the modern death penalty has met the aspirations of Gregg or continues to suffer from the flaws that caused its rejection in Furman. To answer this question, they provide the most comprehensive statistical account yet of the workings of the capital punishment system. Authoritative and pithy, the book is intended for both students in a wide variety of fields, researchers studying the topic, and--not least--the Supreme Court itself.

"All I really get to see is stuff on t.v. and not what the normal world looks like"--Collin Davis, ZEITmagazin Collin Davis has been behind bars for eighteen years; he has been sentenced to at least forty-five years' imprisonment. His brother's girlfriend, the photographer Chantal Seitz (b. Hardheim, 1993; lives and works in Berlin) asked him what he wanted to see of the world. It was the beginning of a pen friendship and a dialogue about seeing and reality inside and outside the prison. Stay Safe Out There is the result of an engrossing correspondence. The artist's book shows how Seitz and Davis use photography to think and communicate about the world on both sides of the prison's walls and how the corrections system determines who may see what and how it may be seen. Based on letters, emails, series of photographs--which Seitz captures as requested by Davis--as well as facsimiles of leaflets advertising convenience goods to inmates, Google Street View shots of the prison's walls, and portraits of Davis himself, the book interweaves the two protagonists' realities. A searching exchange of ideas on seeing and not seeing, on isolation and the capitalism of the prison industry, it frames a perspective that is both personal and collective on current debates over reforms to the criminal justice system designed to strengthen prisoners' rights.
