Representing the Professions unites literary criticism, social and legal history, and Pierre Bourdieu's sociology of culture. It offers a detailed exploration of the professionalization of selected early modern disciplines in an effort to characterize those disciplines in their social, economic, and historical contexts. Unlike recent work on individual responses to social change, Representing the Professions discusses how developing professions responded to changes such as the Tudor centralization of authority, the enormous growth of legal business, the expansion of both literacy and an entertainment market, and the growth of the theater. The book moves between a broad and narrow historical focus to describe how institutional and individual histories contstruct early modern versions of professionalism. Patterns established in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries have effects that shape subsequent developments in the literary profession and professions more generally. This study produces a structural history of the early modern professions that will provide insights into later developments in the more general process of professionalism in later centuries. Using various sources, including plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, legal documents, manuscript handbooks, theatrical records, and public papers related to the Tudor monarchy, the author shows how early modern administration, law, theater, and writing gave rise to an embracing professional field whose parameters continue to play a major role in the ongoing constitution and reconstitution of modernity

The first reports of the successful use of mechanical ventilation to treat respiratory disorders in the neonate were published in the 1960s. Subsequent decades have seen the widespread use of ventilation technology, the development of high-frequency ventilation and extracorporeal support, and, most recently, the use of surfactant replacement therapy and synchronized ventilation. Neonatal and pulmonary clinicians now have a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic tools from which to select a customized management strategy. As a result, the modern neonatal intensive care unit has become a technological wonder, and an occasional source of confusion. Divided into twenty main sections, this book offers a wealth of information to those providing intensive respiratory care to the newborn. Eighty-three separate chapters, written by leaders in their respective fields, cover a comprehensive range of material, including lung development and function, the principles of mechanical ventilation, available diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, strategies for treating various respiratory disorders, alternative treatments, outcomes, and ethical considerations pertaining to the care of newborns. The outline-style presentation is clinically focused, ensuring that all subjects are described in a manner that is easily understood and easily applied to bedside treatment. This manual will be of immense value to all those who come in contact with a neonatal intensive care unit, including pediatricians, neonatologists, pulmonary specialists, respiratory therapists, neonatal nurses and nurse practitioners, fellows, residents, interns, and medical students.

This book is the result of a long study in the art of percussion. Here you will find a natural learning path, guiding the reader step by step, beginning with basic techniques and arriving at an advanced level. It's ideal even for those who don't read music. Also, each exercise has an accompanying video on the DVD, at both a slow and faster tempo. Some think that technique is not required to play the handpan, only instinct. To emit any kind of sound from the instrument, a certain level of technique is required, be it rudimentary or instinctive. If this wasn't the case, no sound would be emitted. So it is up to us to decide to continue to play the handpan instinctively or to discover that more exists, more concepts that we would not be able to develop by instinct alone.

How do you aim a tank gun? What are the best tactics on the battlefield? How cramped was it inside a Second World War tank? How did it feel to take a hit from enemy fire? Allied victory in the Second World War was due in no small part to the tanks and their crews who fought after D-Day in 1944. In order to beat the effective Panzer tanks and overwhelm the occupying German forces in France, the Allied tanks arrived in their thousands by landing craft and even by glider. The Tank Manual gathers together original documents about the key Allied tanks in the Battle of Normandy. This is a fascinating collection of manuals for crew, training instructions and battle reports. Most were supremely practical, others betray the harsh reality of fighting conditions, and show readers the guidance tank crew had to hand as they went into battle. The Tank Manual covers the US M4 Sherman Medium Tank and M5 Stuart Light Tank, and the British Cromwell and Churchill infantry tank.
