Literature and Meat Since 1900

John Miller, Sean Mccorry
- Palgrave Macmillan
- 29 Octobre 2019
- 9783030269173
This collection of essays centers on literary representations of meat-eating, bringing aesthetic questions into dialogue with more established research on the ethics and politics of meat. From the decline of traditional animal husbandry to the emergence of intensive agriculture and the biotechnological innovation of in vitro meat, the last hundred years have seen dramatic changes in meat production. Meat consumption has risen substantially, inciting the emergence of new forms of political subjectivity, such as the radical rejection of meat production in veganism. Featuring essays on both canonical and lesser-known authors, Literature and Meat Since 1900 illustrates the ways in which our meat regime is shaped, reproduced and challenged as much by cultural and imaginative factors as by political contestation and moral reasoning.

Judi Dench

John Miller
- Weidenfeld & Nicolson
- 23 Mai 2013
- 9781780226446
The first full biography of Britain's leading actress of her time.
Whether it is her sunny temperament, her gift of laughter, her wide-ranging abilities, or all three, Judi Dench is without doubt a star. Shortlisted for a 1998 Oscar for her performance as Queen Victoria in MRS BROWN, she then won one for her role as Queen Elizabeth in SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE. Judi Dench is widely loved, and not only among the theatrical profession. Her long-running appearance opposite Geoffrey Palmer in the TV situation comedy AS TIME GOES BY has run to four series and gained her a TV TIMES readers' award as ¿the actress we most wish see more often on television¿. She juggles the National Theatre (a sell-out season in Sondheim's A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC and David Hare's AMY'S VIEW) with TV and films (she is now established as 'M' in the latest James Bond series).
Since the paperback edition was published, John Miller has written a new chapter, bringing what is fast becoming a classic biography completely up-to-date.

Animals in Detective Fiction

John Miller, Ruth Hawthorn
- Palgrave Macmillan
- 6 Décembre 2022
- 9783031092411
This book explores the vast array of animals that populate detective fiction. If the genre begins, as is widely supposed, with Edgar Allan Poe's "Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1841), then detective fiction's very first culprit is an animal. Animals, moreover, consistently appear as victims, clues, and companions, while the abstract conception of animality is closely tied to the idea of criminality. Although it is often described as an essentially conservative form, detective fiction can unsettle the binary of human and animal to intersect with developing concerns in animal studies: animal agency, the ethical complexities of human/animal interaction, the politics and literary aesthetics of violence, and animal metaphor. Gathering its 14 essays into sections on ontologies, ethics, politics, and forms, Animals in Detective Fiction provides a compelling and nuanced analysis of the central role creatures play in this enduringly popular and continually morphing literary form.

The Psychology of Sexual Health

David Miller, John Green
- Wiley-Blackwell
- 15 Avril 2008
- 9780470759837
There have been rapid developments in the psychological management of sexually transmitted diseases, particularly HIV and AIDS. However, a significant proportion of those attending genitourinary clinics do not have a disease or infection, but rather are seeking help with sexual health issues relating to behaviour, prior sexual experiences and relationships. Hence as clinics become more and more generalist there is a need to focus on behavioural aspects of disease. This is the first text to draw together the knowledge base and expertise of clinicians and researchers from all disciplines in the psychological management of sexual health. It presents advances in theory and practice in a practical way that will be accessible for all disciplines.

The Matching Method for Asymptotic Solutions in Chemical PhysicsProblems by A. M. Il'in, L. A. Kalyakin, and S. I.Maslennikov
Singularly Perturbed Problems with Boundary and Interior Layers:Theory and Application by V. F. Butuzov and A. B. Vasilieva
Numerical Methods for Singularly Perturbed Boundary Value ProblemsModeling Diffusion Processes by V. L. Kolmogorov and G. I.Shishkin
An important addition to the Advances in Chemical Physics series,this volume makes available for the first time in English the workof leading Russian researchers in singular perturbation theory andits application. Since boundary layers were first introduced byPrandtl early in this century, rapid advances have been made in theanalytic and numerical investigation of these phenomena, andnowhere have these advances been more notable than in the Russianschool of singular perturbation theory. The three chapters in thisvolume treat various aspects of singular perturbations and theirnumerical solution, and represent some of the best work done inthis area:
* The first chapter, "The Matching Method for Asymptotic Solutionsin Chemical Physics Problems," is concerned with the analysis ofsome singular perturbation problems that arise in chemicalkinetics. In this chapter the matching method is applied to findasymptotic solutions to some dynamical systems of ordinarydifferential equations whose solutions have multiscale timedependence.
* The second chapter, "Singularly Perturbed Problems with Boundaryand Interior Layers: Theory and Application," offers acomprehensive overview of the theory and application of asymptoticapproximations for many different kinds of problems in chemicalphysics governed by either ordinary or partial differentialequations with boundary and interior layers.
* The third chapter, "Numerical Methods for Singularly PerturbedBoundary Value Problems Modeling Diffusion Processes," discussesthe numerical difficulties that arise in solving the problemsdescribed in the first two chapters, and proposes rigorous criteriafor determining whether or not a numerical method is satisfactoryfor such problems. Methods satisfying these criteria are thenconstructed and applied to obtain numerical solutions to a range ofsample problems.
Timely, authoritative, and invaluable to researchers in all areasof chemical physics, Singular Perturbation Problems in ChemicalPhysics is an essential resource.

Fetal Cardiology

John Simpson, Vita Zidere, Owen I. Miller
- Springer
- 24 Octobre 2018
- 9783319774619
This practical book describes a systematic approach to the ultrasound examination of the fetal heart based on accepted screening recommendations. The written content is enhanced by images and videos of both normal and abnormal sonographic findings. Fetal Cardiology: A Practical Approach to Diagnosis and Management goes further than simply describing core screening views. It includes extended views of the fetal heart, the use of Doppler techniques and assessment of fetal cardiac function. "Variants" which can be encountered in practice are described as well as the features of the major groups of cardiac abnormalities and fetal arrhythmias. Because the authors include experienced fetal and paediatric cardiologists, the focus is not only on diagnostic features but also the approach to postnatal care and prognosis. This content is enhanced by inclusion of chapters relating to associated fetal abnormalities, the genetics of congenital heart disease and new imaging modalities such as MRI of the fetal heart. The book equips all those using ultrasound to image the fetus with a clear concise reference to meet the challenge of new guidelines and to expand their knowledge of complementary echocardiographic techniques and management. It details why prenatal recognition of congenital heart disease is being prioritised to allow for parental choice, recognition of associated abnormalities and improvement of postnatal outcome. As such, this book will be important for all professionals, whether they be a cardiologist, fetal medicine specialist, sonographer or midwife.

Emerging Trends in Drug Use and Distribution

David N. Khey, John Stogner, Bryan Lee Miller
- Springer
- 12 Décembre 2013
- 9783319035758
This Brief explores emerging trends in drug use and distribution. This timely Brief examines recent examples of emerging drugs including salvia (from the plant Salvia divinorum), bath salts (and other synthetic stimulants) and so-called research chemicals (primarily substituted phenethylamines, synthetic cousins of ecstasy), which have tended to receive brief levels of high intensity media coverage that may or may not reflect an actual increase in their usage. Over the past decade in particular, "new" substances being used recreationally seem to come out of obscurity and gain rapid popularity, particularly spurred on by discussion and distribution over the internet. While changing trends in the drug market have always presented a challenge for law enforcement and public health officials, online forums, media coverage and other recent trends discussed in this Brief allow them to gain popularity more quickly and change more frequently. These rapid shifts allow less time for researchers to understand the potential health consequences of these substances and for law enforcement to stay abreast of abuses of legal substances. This work includes: 1) review of relevant research and literature, 2) review the Internet sources in which many deem important in influencing the emerging drug market, 3) discussion of national and international trends in use, abuse and distribution of these substances and 4) examination of current drug policy and recommendations for the future. This brief will be useful for criminology and criminal justice, sociology and public health. It will also be useful for those that deal with youth and the problems that may develop during adolescence and early adulthood.

Morphogenesis, Environmental Stress and Reverse Evolution

John S. Torday, Jean Guex, William B. Miller Jr.
- Springer
- 23 Juillet 2020
- 9783030472795
It is widely acknowledged that life has adapted to its environment, but the precise mechanism remains unknown since Natural Selection, Descent with Modification and Survival of the Fittest are metaphors that cannot be scientifically tested. In this unique text, invertebrate and vertebrate biologists illuminate the effects of physiologic stress on epigenetic responses in the process of evolutionary adaptation from unicellular organisms to invertebrates and vertebrates, respectively. This book offers a novel perspective on the mechanisms underlying evolution.Capacities for morphologic alterations and epigenetic adaptations subject to environmental stresses are demonstrated in both unicellular and multicellular organisms. Furthermore, the underlying cellular-molecular mechanisms that mediate stress for adaptation will be elucidated wherever possible. These include examples of `reverse evolution' by Professor Guex for Ammonites and for mammals by Professor Torday and Dr. Miller. This provides empiric evidence that the conventional way of thinking about evolution as unidirectional is incorrect, leaving open the possibility that it is determined by cell-cell interactions, not sexual selection and reproductive strategy. Rather, the process of evolution can be productively traced through the conservation of an identifiable set of First Principles of Physiology that began with the unicellular form and have been consistently maintained, as reflected by the return to the unicellular state over the course of the life cycle.
