'This innovative and important study offers new perspectives on a range of twentieth century colonial writers from the Indian subcontinent, Canada, Australia, the Caribbean, and Africa. In particular, it offers new perspectives on Britain by allowing us to encounter English or British attitudes, landscapes, and events through the eyes of different groups of visitors and immigrants from the colonies - visitors who have already been conditioned by British forms of education. Taking up the concept of 'contact zones' as existing not just in colonial or 'other' worlds, this book shows how 'Englishness', 'Britishness', and various other racial, ethnic, and national identities have been constructed in changing ways through a century of interaction between peoples and cultures in Britain itself.......
The three authors are able to draw on their combined expertise to give a thoroughly rich, scholarly, and rewarding discussion of each of these writers.' - C.L. Innes, Professor of Postcolonial Literature, School of English, University of Kent, Canterbury

Before use, standard ERP systems such as SAP R/3 need to be customized
to meet the concrete requirements of the individual enterprise. This book
provides an overview of the process models, methods, and tools offered
by SAP and its partners to support this complex and time-consuming process.
It begins by characterizing the foundations of the latest ERP systems from
both a conceptual and technical viewpoint, whereby the most important components
and functions of SAP R/3 are described. The main part of the book then
goes on to present the current methods and tools for the R/3 implementation
based on newer process models (roadmaps).

At the turn of the century it is appropriate to take stock of this relatively
young but rapidly developing subject. For the first time, this book brings
together information on the status of obstetric regional analgesia in many
parts of the globe, and on the intriguing variability of maternal attitudes
towards it. Advances in the field over the last decade in new applications,
new drugs and techniques and new research tools are also reviewed. Controversial
topics such as the effects of regional analgesia on the progress of and
outcome of labour, the indications, contraindications and complications,
and the place of regional anaesthesia for operative delivery are discussed
by numerous experts in the field.  The problem of consent and medicolegal
aspects are also addressed. Regional Analgesia in Obstetrics should be
read by all those involved in the medical care of women in childbirth.
Professor Felicity Reynolds is Emeritus Professor of Obstetric Anaesthesia,
St Thomas' Hospital, London, UK.

Voices of Angel Island brings the voices of unwanted early-20th-century Asian and Russian immigrants to the forefront of the history of modern America. Charles Egan masterfully combines the anthology of migrant poetry and inscriptions from the walls of Angel Island’s detention facilities with archival and oral histories to create a visceral and intimate portrait of the politics and experiences of immigration in America.

'This new essay collection makes a serious and significant contribution to studies of Elizabeth I. A diversity of approaches sheds new light on this iconic queen, investigating the materiality of her own writings as well as her influence on stagings of female power. We are invited to view her from perspectives of prophecy and nostalgia, and to look afresh at this endlessly fascinating monarch.' - Helen Hackett, University College London, UK

'This considered and cohesive sequence of essays on the cultural presence of Elizabeth I is both elegant and timely. The collection is given a distinguished focus in the Prologue contributed by the celebrated expert on Elizabethan culture and drama, Stephen Orgel, with its poised consideration of the relation between the arts and the 'monarch's will.' Thereafter, the book's three sections explore the image and presence of the queen: in her own words, in the events and writings which she promoted and patronised, and in subsequent recollection and reinterpretation.
The focus throughout is international with significant work on Elizabeth's use of French and on Elizabeth's appearance in the eyes of an Italian contemporary. Her place in time is considered in many aspects: as a figure embodying past virtues, as the presiding goddess of a glorious present, and as the prophetess of a new order to come. One of the distinguishing features of this collection is the awareness which accompanies all these investigations of the elements of improvisation and insecurity which formed the counterpoint to the public triumphs of Elizabeth. There are particularly rich reflections on dramatic echoes of Elizabeth's governance in the plays of Webster and Shakespeare.
The continental focus of the volume is particularly welcome, offering the reader new discoveries on the map of the queen's world. This focus also points silently to a palpable absence of Elizabethan culture: the ambiguous withdrawal of her realm from the international respublica litterarum, from the possibility of comparison.
This collection is as notable for the careful selection of subjects and editorial shaping of a coherent whole as it is for the skill and knowledge of the individual contributors. The Introduction draws the whole volume together in its finely-nuanced consideration of Elizabeth as a subject placed in time.' - Peter Davidson, Professor of Renaissance Studies, University of Aberdeen, UK
