The Medical World of Early Modern France

The Medical World of Early Modern France

Laurence Brockliss; Colin Jones

Clarendon Press
1997
sidottu
The Medical World of Early Modern France recounts the history of medicine in France between the sixteenth century and the French Revolution. Physicians, surgeons and apothecaries are centre-stage, and the study provides an overview of long-term changes in their ideas about medicine and their craft. Other denizens of the medical world - quacks, charlatans, wise women, midwives, herbalist and others - are also brought into the analysis, which is set within the broader context of social, economic, demographic and cultural change. The breadth of the chronological and analytical framework, and the depth of the archival research behind it, makes this a unique account of the evolution of medical ideas and practices in one of the major countries of early modern Europe.

Biological Energy Conservation

Biological Energy Conservation

Colin William Jones

Chapman and Hall
1981
nidottu
The student of biological science in his final years as an undergraduate and his first years as a graduate is expected to gain some familiarity with current research at the frontiers of his discipline. New research work is published in a perplexing diversity of publications and is inevitably concerned with the minutiae of the subject. The sheer number of research journals and papers also causes confusion and difficulties of assimilation. Review articles usually presuppose a background know­ ledge of the field and are inevitably rather restricted in scope. There is thus a need for short but authoritative introductions to those areas of modern biological research which are either not dealt with in standard introductory textbooks or are not dealt with in sufficient detail to enable the student to go on from them to read scholarly reviews with profit. This series of books is designed to satisfy this need. The authors have been asked to produce a brief outline of their subject assuming that their readers will have read and remembered much of a standard introductory textbook on biology. This outline then sets out to provide by building on this basis, the conceptual framework within which modern research work is progressing and aims to give the reader an indication of the problems, both conceptual and practical, which must be overcome if progress is to be maintained.

Oscar Wilde and Nihilism

Oscar Wilde and Nihilism

Colin Cavendish-Jones

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
Oscar Wilde and Nihilism examines Wilde’s major works in the context of nineteenth-century philosophical nihilism and the Victorian religious unsettlement. The book covers Wilde’s plays, the fairy tales, The Picture of Dorian Gray, the critical writings, and De Profundis to show how Wilde’s thinking about nihilism developed over the course of his career, profoundly influencing the tone and message of his work. Like Nietzsche, Wilde came to regard art as the only effective counterforce to the problem of nihilism, a uniquely consistent source of order and meaning in a godless universe. The book is intended for the general reader with an interest in nihilism, aesthetics, or Wilde, as well as for more specialist scholars. The aim is to provide the reader with the answers of an exceptionally brilliant and original intellect to the most compelling problem in philosophy: how to find meaning and purpose in life.

The Great Nation: France from Louis XV to Napoleon

The Great Nation: France from Louis XV to Napoleon

Jones Colin

Penguin Books Ltd
2003
pokkari
There can be few more mesmerising historical narratives than the story of how the dazzlingly confident and secure monarchy Louis XIV, 'the Sun King', left to his successors in 1715 became the discredited, debt-ridden failure toppled by Revolution in1789. The further story of the bloody unravelling of the Revolution until its seizure by Napoleon is equally astounding.Colin Jones' brilliant new book is the first in 40 years to describe the whole period. Jones' key point in this gripping narrative is that France was NOT doomed to Revolution and that the 'ancien regime' DID remain dynamic and innovatory, twisting and turning until finally stoven in by the intolerable costs and humiliation of its wars with Britain.

Overcoming Hoarding

Overcoming Hoarding

Singh Satwant; Hooper Margaret; Jones Colin

Robinson

Hoarding is a condition where a person has a tendency to collect and save things excessively and has difficulty in getting rid of items. This results in a cluttered living space and often causes distress and impairs the person from being able to fully function in their home. It's a common condition that affects 2-5% of the population and has far-reaching consequences for sufferers, family, friends and the wider community, together with potential health and safety implications, with increased risk of injury or vermin. There has been increasing interest in the media which has raised public awareness of this problem, but there has been very little literature aimed at helping hoarders until now. There is no one reason why individuals hoard. For some, the hoarding behaviours are a way of coping with an emotional trauma. For others, there may be a strong attachment to certain objects, or a belief that certain materials have value - such as books, magazines and newspapers. Hoarding behaviour can also be a learnt behaviour from growing up in a cluttered environment. Sometimes unusual items or objects are hoarded including faeces and urine. Hoarding is a common condition but little is known about it. Almost everyone has some hoarding traits but these may not manifest themselves to the extent that it causes disruption to a person's life and space. The true prevalence of hoarding is not clear however it appears to be a growing problem. With the increased attention that hoarding is getting more people are beginning to recognize that they may have a problem. This book fills an important gap for a dedicated book on hoarding disorder, and uses CBT tools to help people recover, and reclaim their space and their life.

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goal Against Poverty in Developing Nations

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goal Against Poverty in Developing Nations

Victor Olutope Ige; Solomon Pelumi Akinbogun; Colin Anthony Jones

Springer International Publishing AG
2024
sidottu
This book investigates the role of land titling in delivering sustainable means of poverty alleviation in developing countries. Despite the huge amount spent on various anti-poverty programs annually, poverty remains a major problem. This persistent challenge necessitates a paradigm shift in which urban poverty could be alleviated in developing countries by leveraging the potential of land titling. Titling could provide the urban poor with the opportunity to use their property titles as collateral for loans, allowing individuals to invest in businesses, upgrade their homes, and lift themselves out of poverty. As a result, job creation and income generation may increase. Land titling is a simple, inexpensive, and effective means of supporting the urban poor, particularly those with small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) initiatives. Similarly, land titling is an antidote to the limited success of property taxation in developing countries, as it provides mapped and transaction-based records. This book will help stakeholders, policymakers, and policy implementers understand and utilize the capacity of titling as a veritable means of poverty alleviation and SME development in developing nations.

The front wall of the Painters Guild lay in ruins. Burnt and twisted, one gate hung by a single hinge. The other was completely missing. 'I think there is little doubt..., ' Cyrus said somberly, '... but I fear it has to be the Book of Red. It has appeared periodically throughout history. It is a thing of tremendous evil.' The Signeurs of the Stargazers Guild are going to betray Pulgam to the Dark River. Mosofet, Lord of the Seven Worlds, is seeking vengeance, his dark army right behind him. Now someone, or something, has let loose the Book of Red. The Lord of the Keep has returned to Pulgam, but where is the King? William's world is in peril. Who will sit on the throne in this time of great danger? Colin wasn't volunteering. The Sword of Destiny was refusing to talk to him anymore. Being a hero suddenly didn't seem so appealing. Already gifted with magical sight, Victoria was still discovering her talents - and they seemed to be growing every day. Sebastian, on the other hand, was enjoying life as a normal, regular boy - while Mio was still waiting impatiently to grow up. And as for William? He just knew that it wasn't fair. Why was he the only one who didn't have any magical talent

They were all gone: the Locksmith, the Signeurs, the Book of Red - all defeated; but darkness still encircles the Worlds. Tamasa - the Dark River - his time is coming. The twelve-headed post knew how to beat him, Colin was sure of it; they knew his weakness. If only he could find it - somewhere out there in the Worlds. Of course, there were other problems. William was now clearly a wizard and wizards were mainly known for being evil. Can he control the great power that he now possesses, or will it take control of him? Victoria had a different problem. She had seen inside Gennaro's book - the Book of the Dead. She knew whose name was written there, but could she do anything about it? The day of the final battle is fast approaching. Pulgam is prepared, but they cannot fight alone. They must reach out to ancient allies - the Ancelet and the great city of Duqnes. However, treachery lurks everywhere. Will darkness fall over the Worlds; will the Dark River triumph again?

Like many things Japanese, the Japanese legal system has its peculiarities... and Professor Jones applies his decades of legal and teaching experience to shed light on its mysteries. As with most legal systems there is method to its madness, and while the reasoning behind it all is a bit different from the approaches of Western nations, it works. Usually. Based on the author's long-running feature in The Japan Times, the book offers a selection of his most important columns, plus other articles drawn from numerous sources, and including a number of never-before published pieces. Older articles have been updated to reflect more recent developments, but remain vitally important to understanding how things work in Japan. And in spite of being written by an attorney, the book is in everyday English, peppered with entertaining and sometimes stinging asides. Here, at last, is a glimpse into the Japanese legal system, ideal for foreign residents of Japan as well as legal researchers and practitioners.

Sir Glyn Jones, as last governor of Nyasaland, oversaw the transition of the country to Malawi. Involving widespread unrest, the removal of a governor, a state of emergency and commision of enquiry from London, these were some of the most stormy episodes in the story of the end of empire.This biography, based on original sources, including the Glyn Jones papers to which the author had first and exclusive access, reveals Jones’ relationship with Hastings Banda in a new and controversial light. Jones’ appointment was the pinnacle of a distinguished career in the colonial service, which began in Northern Rhodesia as an administrative cadet in 1931. In 1960, as the demand for early constitutional advance in the northern territories of the Central Africa Federation and secession from that federation became more insistent, Jones moved from Northern Rhodesia to neighbouring Nyasaland, where he stayed for the most critical years of his colonial service career. These years saw Jones’s promotion to Governor and Governor-General.This revealing account is the third volume of Baker’s biographical studies of the last three governors of Nyasaland.

Colin MacFarlane

Independently Published

This book is about the incredible rise of young Teddy Boy and labourer, Tommy Woodward from Treforest, Pontypridd, to becoming Sir Tom Jones global superstar. He is now known, by the younger generation, as a judge on The Voice but over a 50 odd year odyssey he has had amazing adventures, becoming friends with the likes of Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and a plethora of showbiz legends. Author Colin MacFarlane was a journalist on Tom's local paper The Pontypridd Observer in the 1980s. He lived in Tom's village of Treforest and even drank with all of Tom's friends and family in the local Wood Road Non Political Club. Over a pint they all had brilliant stories to tell about Tom's early days. Some have never been published before. MacFarlane was lucky to have interviewed them when they were still around. Many have now gone. MacFarlane has charted the early days and followed Tom's career ever since. The people he interviewed were all the real cast members of the real Tom Jones Show. It's a star studded rock n' roll story about a Ponty boy who conquered the world with his voice. It is also a tale of sex, booze and rock n' roll with quite a few surprising twists along the way. A must read for all Tom Jones' fans and also for the younger generation who are fans of Tom on The Voice.
