Harnessing the Power of the Criminal Corpse (Palgrave Historical Studies In The Criminal Corpse And Its Afterlife Ser.)
by Sarah Tarlow Emma Battell LowmanThis open access book is the culmination of many years of research on what happened to the bodies of executed criminals in the past. Focusing on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it looks at the consequences of the 1752 Murder Act.

Starting with a consideration of the criminal corpse in the medieval and early modern periods, chapters go on to review the histories of criminal justice, of medical history and of gibbeting under the Murder Act, and ends with some discussion of the afterlives of the corpse, in literature, folklore and in contemporary medical ethics. Using sophisticated insights from cultural history, archaeology, literature, philosophy and ethics as well as medical and crime history, this book is a uniquely interdisciplinary take on a fascinating historical phenomenon.

Harper's Textbook of Pediatric Dermatology
by John Harper Arnold P. Oranje Christine Bodemer Margarita Larralde David Luk Vibhu Mendiratta Diana PurvisA consummate classic with a fresh approach to pediatric dermatology Children´s skin is different. Maturation affects the epidermal barrier, the cutaneous microbiome, adnexal structures, vasculature, and transcutaneous absorption of drugs. The immature skin is more susceptible to pathogens and environmental disruption. Many genetic disorders are either present at birth or manifest early in childhood. Skin diseases thus present differently in children than in adults. Pediatric dermatology has seen significant advances over the last decade, particularly in the field of molecular genetics research, which has furthered our understanding of the pathogenesis of many skin diseases and the development of new approaches to treatment. This fourth edition of the Harper classic provides state-of-the-art information on all aspects of skin disease in children. It covers the diagnosis and treatment of all conditions - both common and rare - with a consistently evidence-based approach. Existing content has been refreshed and fully updated to reflect emerging thinking and to incorporate the latest in research and clinical data - especially at the genetic level. This new fourth edition includes: Greater focus on the genetics behind skin disease, including new genes/genodermatoses, progress in genetic analysis, and stem cell transplants Increased coverage of lasers and other technologies used to treat skin disease More summary tables, learning points, tables of differential diagnosis, and clinical algorithms for diagnosis and management Additional online features, including patient information links and multiple choice questions Harper's Textbook of Pediatric Dermatology delivers crucial clinical insights and up-to-date research information that spans the breadth of the field. As the most comprehensive reference book on this subject available, this revised fourth edition will support and guide the daily practice of both dermatologists and pediatricians across the world.

Hartland's Medical & Dental Hypnosis: Third Edition
by David WaxmanIt is a tribute to the reputation and memory of the late Dr John Hartland that although more than twenty years have passed since Medical and Dental Hypnosis was first published, it has remained in demand throughout the world as one of the most popular textbooks of hypnotherapy. The present work has been extensively revised and updated while retaining the distinctive style of the original author. Much of the original content, now outdated, has been amended, deleted or extended, in order to bring the work into line with modern thinking and developments. The book contains 26 chapters divided into four parts: The History, Nature and Techniques of Hypnosis; Some Phenomena of Hypnosis and the Use of Advanced Techniques; The Clinical Application of Hypnosis and Other Uses and Some Abuses of Hypnosis. Although much of the material in the first two parts of the book is expository, it has nevertheless been extended to include more recent and better known techniques and this is reflected in more comprehensive reference lists at the end of each chapter. The third part, dealing with the clinical applications of hypnosis, is more fully documented. This is particularly so in the chapters dealing with treatment of neuroses, problems of personality and, most extensively, on hypnosis in the alleviation of pain and in surgery. New chapters dealing with the treatment of depression, the use of hypnotherapy in chronic and terminal illness and hypnosis with children are added. Part four is a completely new section covering the uses of hypnosis in competitive sports and criminal investigation as well as containing chapters on legal aspects and lay practitioners of hypnosis. The Appendix contains guidelines for the beginner in the proper application of hypnosis and the maintenance of ethical status and dignity.
