From `Genius Loci` Return to a place where nothing in particular can be seen to explain why you return, nothing you can name, though you can touch the memory of the landscape? linden trees in a hedgerow, cut wheatfield, ruins of the longhouse, rolling meadow of sunflowers blooming, the musk of their oil, contained heat.

Genius on the Edge: The Bizarre Double Life of Dr. William Stewart Halsted

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A major new biography of the doctor who invented modern surgery. Brilliant, driven, but haunted by demons, William Stewart Halsted took surgery from a horrific, dangerous practice to what we now know as a lifesaving art. Halsted was born to wealth and privilege in New York City in the mid-1800s. He attended the finest schools, but he was a mediocre student. His academic interests blossomed at medical school and he quickly became a celebrated surgeon. Experimenting with cocaine as a local anesthetic, he became addicted. He was hospitalized and treated with morphine to control his craving for cocaine. For the remaining 40 years of his life he was addicted to both drugs. Halsted resurrected his career at Johns Hopkins, where he became the first chief of surgery. Among his accomplishments, he introduced the residency training system, the use of sterile gloves, the first successful hernia repair, radical mastectomy, fine silk sutures, and anatomically correct surgical technique….

Genoa and the Sea: Policy and Power in an Early Modern Maritime Republic, 1559--1684 (The Johns Hopkins University Studies in Historical and Political Science)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Genoa enjoyed an important and ever-changing role in the early modern Mediterranean world. In medieval times, the city transformed itself from a tumultuous maritime republic into a stable and prosperous one, making it one of the most important financial centers in Europe. When Spanish influence in the Mediterranean world began to decline, Genoa, its prosperity closely linked with Spain`s, again had to reinvent itself and its economic stature. In Genoa and the Sea, historian Thomas Allison Kirk reconstructs the early modern Mediterranean world and closely studies Genoa`s attempt to evolve in the ever-changing political and economic landscape. He focuses on efforts in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to revive shipbuilding and maritime commerce as a counterbalance to the city`s volatile financial sector. A key component to the plan was a free port policy that attracted merchants and stimulated trade. Through extensive research and close reading of primary… [detailed...]

Genocide on Trial: War Crimes Trials and the Formation of Holocaust History and Memory

This book examines the Allied trial programmes within the contexts of the occupation of Germany and the beginning of the Cold War, and illustrates the ways in which they helped create a distorted memory of Nazi genocide.

Genograms: Assessment and Intervention

2008 y.
Publisher: W. W. Norton
Description: Widely used to train health and mental health professionals, the genogram is a graphic way of organizing information gathered during a family assessment and identifying patterns in the family system. This popular text-updated and expanded to highlight new developments in genogram use-thoroughly explains how to draw, interpret, and apply the genogram. Using genograms of famous families as examples-including those of Sigmund Freud, the Kennedys, Bill Clinton, and Thomas Jefferson, to name a few-the authors examine the principles of family systems theory and systemic interviewing. Clinical applications of genograms in both family therapy and family medicine are described, and new frontiers of research are explored, particularly the use of computer-generated genograms. Entertaining and instructive, `Genograms` is the ideal guide for introducing all those involved in family treatment-family therapists, physicians, nurses, social workers, counselors, and trainees in these… [detailed...]

Matt Ridley
Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters

2006 y.
Publisher: Harper Perennial
Description: Science writer Matt Ridley has found a way to tell someone else`s story without being accused of plagiarism. Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters delves deep within your body (and, to be fair, Ridley`s too) looking for dirt dug up by the Human Genome Project. Each chapter pries one gene out of its chromosome and focuses on its role in our development and adult life, but also goes further, exploring the implications of genetic research and our quickly changing social attitudes toward this information. Genome shies away from the `tedious biochemical middle managers` that only a nerd could love and instead goes for the A-material: genes associated with cancer, intelligence, sex (of course), and more. Readers unfamiliar with the jargon of genetic research needn`t fear, Ridley provides a quick, clear guide to the few words and concepts he must use to translate hard science into English. His writing is informal, relaxed, and playful, guiding the reader so… [detailed...]

Genos Dikanikon: Amateur and Professional Speech in the Courtrooms of Classical Athens (Hellenic Studies)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Under the Athenian democracy, litigants were expected to speak for themselves, though they could memorize a speech written for them. The texts of about one hundred judicial speeches of the genos dikanikon (the forensic genre) have survived, all attributed to Demosthenes or another of the ten writers of canonical status. These professionals wrote either for themselves or members of a small elite. Victor Bers argues that men too poor to afford a professionally written speech frequently spoke before judicial bodies in procedures crucial to their status, wealth, or even their lives, and that these amateur performances often manifested an unmanly yielding to emotions of anger or fear, professional speech, Bers seeks to demonstrate, was to a large degree crafted in reaction to amateur stumbling.

Experts from international laboratories contributed to the current volume to produce a comprehensive overview of the role of protein misfolding in neurodegeneration. Links between genotype and protein characteristics and between proteotype and clinical phenomenology were discussed across diseases categories. Progress in understanding the role of abnormalities of protein metabolism may lead to the identification of biological markers relevant to disease monitoring and to the development of new therapeutic agents capable of modifying and ameliorating basic neurodegenerative mechanisms.

Fabian Holt
Genre in Popular Music

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Description: The popularity of the motion picture soundtrack `O Brother, Where Art Thou?` brought an extraordinary amount of attention to bluegrass, but it also drew its share of criticism from some aficionados who felt the album`s inclusion of more modern tracks misrepresented the genre. This soundtrack, these purists argued, wasn`t bluegrass, but `roots music,` a new and, indeed, more overarching category concocted by journalists and marketers. Why is it that popular music genres like these and others are so passionately contested? And how is it that these genres emerge, coalesce, change, and die out? In `Genre in Popular Music`, Fabian Holt provides new understanding as to why we debate music categories, and why those terms are unstable and always shifting. To tackle the full complexity of genres in popular music, Holt embarks on a wide-ranging and ambitious collection of case studies. Here he examines not only the different reactions to O Brother, but also the impact of rock and roll`s… [detailed...]
