A Guide to the Practice of Paediatric Endocrinology (Inglese)

admin — Fri, 03 Jul 2020 15:32:15 +0000

This concise and practical book is designed for paediatricians and endocrinologists, trained or in training, who see children with endocrine problems. All the endocrine glands are covered, and the author has distilled his vast experience and expertise in this area to provide hard-hitting, practical advice on the diagnosis, management and treatment of the main endocrine disorders. It is not a heavily referenced tome but a monograph in the true sense of the word – a book in which an expert describes and discusses the area of his expertise for the benefit and interest of others. The volume is illustrated throughout and the text is also supplemented by many succinct and informative tables. The volume concludes with a short chapter on practical procedures, including endocrine tests, imaging, and drugs and doses.

The Cambridge History of British Theatre: Volume 1

admin — Fri, 19 Jun 2020 13:36:14 +0000

Volume 1 of The Cambridge History of British Theatre begins in Roman Britain and ends with Charles II’s restoration to the throne imminent. The four essays in Part I treat pre-Elizabethan theatre, the eight in Part II focus on the riches of the Elizabethan era, and the seven in Part III on theatrical developments during and after the reigns of James I and Charles I. The essays are written for the general reader by leading British and American scholars, who combine an interest in the written drama with an understanding of the material conditions of the evolving professional theatre which the drama helped to sustain, often enough against formidable odds. The volume unfolds a story of enterprise, innovation and, sometimes, of desperate survival over years in which theatre and drama were necessarily embroiled in the politics of everyday life: a vivid subject vividly presented.

Thermodynamics of One-Dimensional Solvable Models

admin — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 13:30:19 +0000

Exactly solvable models are very important in physics. They are important not just from a theoretical point of view but also from the experimentalist’s perspective because in such cases theoretical results and experimental results can be compared without ambiguity. This 1999 book is about an important class of exactly solvable models in physics. The subject area is the Bethe-ansatz approach for a number of one-dimensional models, and the setting up of equations within this approach to determine the thermodynamics of these systems. It is a topic that crosses the boundaries between condensed matter physics, mathematics and field theory.

Self-Determination of Peoples: A Legal Reappraisal (Inglese)

admin — Sat, 13 Jun 2020 07:39:09 +0000

The self-determination of peoples is a major issue in the world community: both radical and subversive, it serves to grant statehood to oppressed peoples, but also to disrupt existing State structures. This book, the first comprehensive legal account, sets out to trace how this political ideal has turned into an international legal standard. Scrutinising State practice through national digests and UN proceedings the author pinpoints the limits within which this political postulate has gained a foothold in the body of international law and assesses the extent to which it has had an impact on existing legal norms.

The Cambridge Introduction to Early English Theatre

admin — Sat, 23 May 2020 07:59:07 +0000

This introduction offers an overview of early English theatre from the earliest recorded vernacular texts in the late medieval period to the closing of the theatres in 1642. Where most existing studies focus on one side or the other of an imaginary boundary between ‘medieval’ and ‘early modern’ or ‘Renaissance’ drama, this book examines the theatre of nearly three centuries in a way that highlights continuities as well as divisions. The study is organised into five subject-based chapters: Place and space; Actors and audiences; Writers, controllers and critics; Genre and tradition; Instruction and spectacle. It includes full chronologies, helpful text boxes and over twenty illustrations.
