The Black Death, The Great Mortality of 1348-1350

# data[].attributes.description
This new edition continues to provide a fascinating account of the plague that ravaged the world in the fourteenth century. An updated introduction provides important background information and addresses the plague denial controversy. A new section of documents on environmental explanations for and responses to the plague joins sections on the origin and spread of the illness; the responses of medical practitioners; the societal and economic impact; religious responses; the flagellant movement and attacks on Jews provoked by the plague; and the artistic response. Documents from many countries  including Muslim and Byzantine sources  give students a variety of perspectives on this devastating illness and its consequences. In addition to the new environmental sources, new documents include a Middle Dutch Flagellant Scroll, here printed in English for the first time; German letters to the town of Strasbourg on their pogroms against the Jews; Ibn Khatimas medical description of plague symptoms and transmission; and artistic depictions of the plague saints, Sebastian and Roch. The volume also includes document headnotes, a chronology of the Black Death, Questions for Consideration, a selected bibliography, and an index.

American Empire at the Turn of the Twentieth Century

# data[].attributes.description
This volume introduces students to primary documents on American empire from a pivotal era of U.S. expansion beyond the North American continent in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Along with covering a wide range of placesincluding Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippinesthe documents touch on a wide range of themes, among them race, citizenship, civilization, democracy, cross-cultural encounter, and self-determination. Kristin Hogansons introduction provides the context essential to understanding this period and the ways in which the echoes of 1898 still reverberate today, including in the reach of U.S. power and the composition of the American people. Through a collection of sources representing the voices of those living under imperial rule as well as those imposing and opposing it, students can consider the American imperial endeavors. Document headnotes, maps, a Chronology of American Empire in the Caribbean and the Pacific, Questions for Consideration, and a Selected Bibliography provide pedagogical support.

A must-have collection from one of Australias finest poets
The outstanding Australian poet of the twentieth century Peter Porter

O could one write as one makes love

when all is given and nothing kept,

then language might put by at last

its coy elisions and inept

withdrawals, yield, and yielding cast

aside like useless clothes the crust

of worn and shabby use, and trust

its candour to the urgent mind

its beauty to the searching tongue.

Gwen Harwoods work is defined by a moving sensuality, a twinkling irreverence and a sly wit. This anthology brings together the best 100 of her poems, as selected and compiled by her son, the writer John Harwood.

The Reparative Therapeutic Relationship in Regression to Dependence

# data[].attributes.description
This book is concerned with an enigmatic set of experiences which theorists in the Object Relations tradition have characterised as regression to dependence, a return to a primitive, pre-verbal relational process presenting in some clients in psychotherapy. It highlights the effects of early infantile trauma resulting in the experience of failed dependency. Clients who present with chronic anxiety, relational failures and an inner emptiness are considered, and the opportunity for a therapeutic repair is explored with recommendations for the therapeutic stance being made. Written from an Integrative Psychotherapy perspective, it addresses the current absence of writing in the field from a relational / developmental viewpoint on concepts more usually addressed in psychoanalytic writing. The insights of Winnicott are particularly highlighted in relation to failed dependency and maternal failure. This work aims to offer a way forward to successfully work with this client group.
