When Cats Reigned Like Kings On the Trail of the Sacred Cats

When Cats Reigned Like Kings On the Trail of the Sacred Cats

In her fascinating exploration of feline history Georgie Anne Geyer explores the connections between the royal and sacred felines of ancient civilizations and the beloved domestic cats of today. Chasing an irresistible mystery across the globe Geyer conducts exhaustive research into the little-known puzzle of how cats came to occupy their unique position in the lives of humans. Treated with the tenacity resourcefulness and narrative instinct of a seasoned foreign correspondent the investigation yields unexpected answers and poses tantalizing new questions. It was Geyer's curiosity about her own cats that inspired her to study the history of human-feline relations and especially the exalted status of cats among the ancients as royal or sacred beings. In Egypt Geyer learned of the cat-goddess Bastet and of the cat's role in the transmigration of souls. In Myanmar she saw Leonardo DiCaprio Ricky Martin and the other incongruously named cats of the Nga Phe Kyaung monastery trained by the monks to jump through hoops. She even met a family who dutifully guards the heritage of the Japanese Bobtail cultivating the line in of all places rural Virginia. Richly illustrated with photographs of Geyer's journeys and historical cat images When Cats Reigned Like Kings describes forty-one recognized modern cat breeds plus other popular cats. Every cat lover can thus trace his or her cat to these breeds and their many relatives. The result is a remarkable book bound to delight and amaze cat fanciers and adventure seekers. | When Cats Reigned Like Kings On the Trail of the Sacred Cats

Comprehensive Aphasia Test

Comprehensive Aphasia Test

The Comprehensive Aphasia Test (CAT) is a test for use with people who have acquired aphasia that can be completed over one or two assessment sessions. The test includes a user manual a cognitive screen and language battery and a scoring booklet which are all unchanged since the previous edition and - new to this release - a concise Aphasia Impact Questionnaire which replaces the Disability Questionnaire. The cognitive section assesses people's abilities across a range of task that can affect rehabilitation. Forming the main body of the test the language battery provides a profile of performance across all modalities of language production and comprehension. The Aphasia Impact Questionnaire is a pictorial Patient Reported Outcome Measure which produces both qualitative and quantitative information. It was co-produced with people with aphasia. It supports the person with aphasia to give a subjective rating of how language difficulties identified in the Language Battery affect their daily life enabling first steps towards goal setting. By capturing this information the CAT helps the therapist track changes over the course of recovery and provides a guide to likely outcomes on the basis of an early assessment. The first two sections of the CAT are supported by normative data on people both with and without aphasia and extensive data on reliability and clinical validity. The CAT allows users to: Identify underlying impairments Find where to focus assessments using PALPA and other batteries Ascertain the practical psychological and social impact of aphasia from the perceptive of the person with aphasia Create a profile of strengths and weaknesses to guide therapy. Structured around fully up-to-date models of language assessment from cognitive neuropsychology to patient reported outcome measures test is an indispensable resource for speech and language therapists and researchers. It provides as much information about people's language ability as possible in a relatively brief test designed to be completed in 90-120 minutes. Additional scoring booklets can be ordered in packs of 10 at https://www. routledge. com/Comprehensive-Aphasia-Test-Scoring-Book-pack-of-10/Swinburn-Porter-Howard/p/book/ 9781032128177

British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

In 1962 Dean Acheson famously described Britain as having lost an Empire but not yet found a role. Perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than in the realms of nuclear weapons. An increasingly marginal world power successive post-war British governments felt that an independent nuclear deterrent was essential if the country was to remain at the top table of world diplomacy. Focusing on a key twenty-year period this study explores Britain's role in efforts to bring about a nuclear test ban treaty between 1954 and 1973. Taking a broadly chronological approach it examines the nature of defence planning the scientific goals that nuclear tests were designed to secure Anglo-American relationships the efficacy of British diplomacy and its contribution to arms control and disarmament. A key theme of the study is to show how the UK managed to balance the conflicting pressures created by its determination to remain a credible nuclear power whilst wanting to pursue disarmament objectives and how these pressures shifted over the period in question. Based on a wealth of primary sources this book opens up the largely ignored subject of the impact of arms control on the UK nuclear weapons programme. Its appraisal of the relationship between the requirements and developments of the UK nuclear weapons programme against international and domestic pressures for a test ban treaty will be of interest to anyone studying post-war British defence and foreign policy history of science arms control disarmament and non-proliferation and international relations. It also provides important background information on current events involving nuclear proliferation and disarmament. | British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

California’s Recall Election of Gavin Newsom COVID-19 and the Test of Leadership

California’s Recall Election of Gavin Newsom COVID-19 and the Test of Leadership

California went through a political earthquake of sorts when the state recalled Governor Gray Davis in 2003. In 2021 the state faced another political turning point with the threatened recall of Governor Gavin Newsom. Less than two years after Newsom’s overwhelming election victory more than two million Californians signed on to the recall effort hoping to expel him from office in a special election. How could such a monumental turnabout be possible? Normally the political headwinds would be much too strong for a movement to oust a governor who had decisively vanquished his opponent. But-with the COVID-19 pandemic dominating every aspect of society including politics-these weren’t normal times. Organizing a recall election is a demanding enterprise: it takes abundant political energy tremendous amounts of anger with the status quo and mounds of money. Yet for the second time in less than two decades such wheels were set in motion. What is it that makes California so dynamic yet so fragile? This book explains that paradox and in the process enlightens readers about the recall process the challenges of federalism and the pitfalls of direct democracy. It examines the underlying conditions that expose a state with poorly linked institutions a bitterly divided society and a governor who had to act under nearly impossible conditions demonstrating his strengths and vulnerabilities along the way. It’s a story that could happen only in California a state with a history of only stories. Designed to be useful in a variety of college courses this book is the first to unveil the Newsom backstory and will appeal to pundits and politicos as well as interested general readers. | California’s Recall Election of Gavin Newsom COVID-19 and the Test of Leadership

Pregnancy Delivery Childbirth A Gender and Cultural History from Antiquity to the Test Tube in Europe

Pregnancy Delivery Childbirth A Gender and Cultural History from Antiquity to the Test Tube in Europe

This book reconstructs the history of conception pregnancy and childbirth in Europe from antiquity to the 20th century focusing on its most significant turning points: the emergence of a medical-scientific approach to delivery in Ancient Greece the impact of Christianity the establishment of the man-midwife in the 18th century the medicalisation of childbirth the emergence of a new representation of the foetus as unborn citizen and finally the revolution of reproductive technologies. The book explores a history that far from being linear progressive or homogeneous is characterised by significant continuities as well as transformations. The ways in which a woman gives birth and lives her pregnancy and the postpartum period are the result of a complex series of factors. The book therefore places these events in their wider cultural social and religious contexts which influenced the forms taken by rituals and therapeutic practices religious and civil prescriptions and the regulation of the female body. The investigation of this complex experience represents a crucial contribution to cultural social and gender history as well as an indispensable tool for understanding today’s reality. It will be of great use to undergraduates studying the history of childbirth the history of medicine the history of the body as well as women's and gender history more broadly. | Pregnancy Delivery Childbirth A Gender and Cultural History from Antiquity to the Test Tube in Europe

Small Sample Size Solutions A Guide for Applied Researchers and Practitioners

Small Sample Size Solutions A Guide for Applied Researchers and Practitioners

Researchers often have difficulties collecting enough data to test their hypotheses either because target groups are small or hard to access or because data collection entails prohibitive costs. Such obstacles may result in data sets that are too small for the complexity of the statistical model needed to answer the research question. This unique book provides guidelines and tools for implementing solutions to issues that arise in small sample research. Each chapter illustrates statistical methods that allow researchers to apply the optimal statistical model for their research question when the sample is too small. This essential book will enable social and behavioral science researchers to test their hypotheses even when the statistical model required for answering their research question is too complex for the sample sizes they can collect. The statistical models in the book range from the estimation of a population mean to models with latent variables and nested observations and solutions include both classical and Bayesian methods. All proposed solutions are described in steps researchers can implement with their own data and are accompanied with annotated syntax in R. The methods described in this book will be useful for researchers across the social and behavioral sciences ranging from medical sciences and epidemiology to psychology marketing and economics. | Small Sample Size Solutions A Guide for Applied Researchers and Practitioners
