Paperback. Condizione: Fair. If the twentyfirst century seems an unlikely stage for the return of a 14thcentury killer, the authors of Return of the Black Death argue that the plague, which vanquished half of Europe, has only lain dormant, waiting to emerge againperhaps, in another form. At the heart of their chilling scenario is their contention that the plague was spread by direct human contact (not from rat fleas) and was, in fact, a virus perhaps similar to AIDS and Ebola. Noting the periodic occurrence of plagues throughout history, the authors predict its inevitable reemergence sometime in the future, transformed by mass mobility and bioterrorism into an even more devastating killer.

"The IMS: IP Multimedia Concepts and Services in the Mobile Domain, Second Edition", builds on the success of the previous best-selling edition, providing comprehensive coverage of IMS - its concepts, architecture, protocols and functionalities with a wealth of new and updated material. Mobile telephony with the current technology has been hugely successful and demonstrates the immense value of communicating with peers while being mobile, and with increasingly available smarter multimedia terminals, the communication experience will be something more than just exchanging voice. These multimedia terminals need IP multimedia networks. Hence the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has developed a standard for SIP-based IP multimedia service machinery known as 'The IMS' (IP Multimedia Subsystem). This completely up-to-date and informative guide explains everything you need to know about it. The key features of the second edition include: two new chapters on push-to-talk over cellular and group management; additional new material includes: fixed and mobile convergence, interworking between IPv4 and IPv6 in the IMS, combined circuit-switched and IMS services (combinational services), IMS security and alternative session establishment procedures; more coverage of the benefits of IMS, particularly with regard to its role in fixed-mobile convergence; special emphasis on services, featuring more detailed descriptions of presence, messaging, group management and push-to-talk over cellular (conferencing); updates on Third Generation Partnership Project Agreement (3GPP) Release 6 level; and, new examples and case studies, including a variety of scenarios, how to handle multiple terminals and end-user preferences. Written in a manner that allows readers to choose the level of knowledge and understanding they need to gain about the IMS, this volume will have instant appeal to a wide ranging audience including marketing managers, research and development engineers, network engineers, developers, test engineers and university students.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In the series, "Clinical Approaches to Violence", the contributors focus on the specific areas within their specialist fields: the empirical research, the theories built around the data, and the practical application, both in terms of assessment and intervention, of this research and theory. The topic for this second volume in the series is sex offences because the topic has seen a recent rapid development, both in terms of public interest and involvement. In response to this growing awareness, researchers and practitioners from a range of professions, theoretical persuasions, and schools of clinical practice have become involved in working with sex offenders and their victims. The contributors to this volume are from a range of disciplines - including psychiatry, psychology, and social work - bringing a range of theoretical views and styles of clinical practice, in order to offer a book which would inform clinicians and researchers about offenders and victims. As the research base grows, so the number of specialist papers and books increases. While this increase in knowledge is vital, there is the danger that information on theories of sex offending, assessment methods and clinical work with families, offenders, children, and adults will become increasingly diffuse and inaccessible. Therefore, the editors have drawn together theories, research and practice relevant to both offenders and victims to provide an overview of the field.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. This text is a bridge across what sometimes seems a divide between "hard" and "soft" OR/MS. It demonstrates that the views which are often characterized as "hard" and "soft" OR/MS are not really in opposition to one another but are addressing different types of issue. It explores the development and use of explicit models in management science. It discusses the way in which models are built and the way in which they should be used. The emphasis is on modelling rather than mathematics, though some familiarity with algebra and statistical ideas will be expected of the reader. It is careful to pace management science within a framework which is defensible in the face of attacks on rational methods in business. It argues for their relevance alongside other aspects of management such as intuition, vision and leadership. The book has been read but remains in clean condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Fine. The aim of this book is to give practical information to child-care professionals, both medical and non-medical, who may in one way or another be involved in the treatment and management of soiling children. The book is based on 6 years of doctoral research by the author, involving a pilot study of children who soiled, a research study of soiling children, as well as post-doctoral involvement with other children and their families with soiling problems. This book is written in collaboration with Dr Graham Clayden, Honorary Consultant Paediatrician at St Thomas's Hospital in London. Dr Clayden advised the author during the original study. They have since been involved in joint work with soiling children and their families. The author's original research project involved 66 soiling children. This included a study of soiling children treatment by a local paediatric department, and further study of soiling children treated by a traditional child psychiatric clinic, and finally a study of soiling children treated by an experimental "whole child" approach which sought to incorporate treatment of the psychological, physical and social aspects of the problem. The author, a behaviourally trained social worker, was the key therapist, working under medical supervision. The research validated the benefits of an integrated "whole child" approach for soiling problems. The book is designed both for the busy professional, who wants in the shortest possible time, to assimilate the essentials of the "whole child" approach for assessing and treating the soiling child, as well as for those practitioners who require a more comprehensive research resume. To meet the differing needs of readers, the book is therefore in 4 parts. Part 1 includes an extensive review of international literature on the subject, covering both causation theories and treatment studies. Part 2 is the practical part of the book; how to assess the "whole child" and his family, and the treatment and management of the problem, using the "whole-child" approach. Part 2 stands on its own and will give the busy professional the basic information he needs to help a soiling child and his family. For those who wish to know more, Part 3 takes a wider look at the associated problems of soiling children. In this section Dr Clayden has written an important chapter on neurological disorders associated with soiling. There is also a chapter on the relationship between soiling and sexual abuse. Finally the Afterword looks at the wider implications from the research and suggests ways of setting up specific services for the soiling child.
