My Best Friend's Baby

'The studies that make up Melancholy Experience show how integral and dynamic medical and literary writing can be when read together. Judiciously chosen texts from a range of genres, by major figures and anonymous authors, demonstrate the wealth of perspectives offered by the history of melancholy on such topics as sex, religion, and creativity, as well as the condition itself. The book maintains a sense of conviction that the records left by sufferers and those who cared for them in the long eighteenth century are valuable for those who suffer now and those who wish to help. It is a fine example of such cross-era juxtaposition done conscientiously and constructively. Perhaps the strongest and most unique feature of this work is the humaneness of its scholarship, which causes the reader to share the deep interest and compassion the authors evidently feel for their subjects.'
- Tristanne Connolly, Assistant Professorof English, St. Jerome's University, University of Waterloo, Canada

'Offering excellent insight into what the eighteenth century can teach us in terms of treatment of depressive states, it will be of great value not only to eighteenth-century scholars and students, but to all persons with an interest in the workings of the human mind and its disorders.' Miranda Journal

'...this is a valuable and highly varied volume...' - Review of English Studies

Melancholy Experience in Literature of the Long Eighteenth Century

From the reviews:

"This is an excellent description of the historical background and a comparison of two similar techniques for two different diagnoses, internal hemorrhoids and obstructive defecation … . the audience is … colorectal surgeons and surgeons who do a larger amount of anorectal or pelvic floor work. … It is very clear and concise and the diagrams/photos are particularly good. … a great addition to the subspecialist’s library and will probably become a classic since it covers the material so precisely and completely." (Shauna Lorenzo-Rivero, Doody’s Review Service, April, 2009)

From the reviews:
MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS
"…this book is written by a highly competent, international team of researchers, who have made important contributions and have had a large impact on the field of nonparametric regression estimation and are still active in different subfields; the monograph is almost self-contained and written in such a way that it is a valuable resource for both the researches and graduate students who are novices in the field. The above is possible thanks to the authors’ clear and systematic way of presenting fundamental results and their proofs…this book is a valuable source of mathematical techniques and provides systematic in-depth analysis of nonparametric regression with random design. Although this research monograph reflects recent studies in the field, it can also serve as an encyclopedia of nonparametric regression estimation."
SHORT BOOK REVIEWS
"The book gives a deep and modern mathematical treatment of nonparametric regression with random design. From the table of contents it is seen that all well-known classes of estimators are dealt with. For each of them, the authors mainly prove results on consistency and on rates of convergence. The book follow the style Theorem-Proof and gives rigorous derivations of all the results. There is a useful mathematical appendix with proofs and exponential type inequalities for sums of independent variables and for sum of martingale differences. Each chapter has a section called "Bibliographic Notes" containing references to the extensive bibliography of more than 400 items. Each chapter ends with a&nbsp; number of problems and exercises, which could be used in a teaching situation."
"This book is on nonparametric regression with random designs. … The text … is self contained and suitable for students and researchers in statistics, mathematics, computer science and engineering. … This is a definitive treatise on the important methods of estimation in nonparametric regression and provides a clear exposition of the issues involved in consistency, rate of convergence and asymptotic optimality of different classes of estimates. A must have book." (Arup Bose, Sankhya, Vol. 65 (2), 2003)
"If you choose to browse this book from page to page you will find a stunning amount of details … . important topics such as penalized squares, spline estimates or recursive estimators are … discussed in much detail. … I think this is an excellent book … both for research students and teachers. … The educational value of the book is enhanced by the presentation of some classical mathematical masterpieces. … I strongly recommend to get this book … ." (László Gerencsér, Journal of Applied Statistics, 2005)
"The authors of this book endeavored to present a ‘modern approach’ to non-parametric regression … . This book is excellent as a reference, because the proofs are written in an extremely clear manner and the topics selected are discussed very clearly and are interesting. … I would recommend it to graduate students who want to know how certain results are obtained. … an interesting collection of topics and results not replicated by others." (Kathryn A. Prewitt, Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2004)
"This book presents a modern approach to nonparametric regression estimation with random design. … This book is a self-contained text, intended for a wide audience, including graduate students in statistics, mathematics and computer sciences and researchers. Because of the clear mathematical presentation it can be used also for a course on nonparametric regression estimation. … This makes the book a valuable reference for anyone interested in nonparametric regression as well as a source of many useful mathematical techniques." (H. Liero, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1021, 2003)
"This book presents an impressive overview of many nonparametric regression methods. … Altogether, the book is almost ideally self-contained … . It is clearly written, and presents a wealth of popular statistical methods relevant in many application areas. Hence, it will be an often consulted book in the academic library, and a good source on which to build a lecture course. … Academic mathematical statisticians will … also find the book of great use … ." (Dr. F. P. A. Coolen, Kwantitatieve Methoden, Issue 70B38, 2003)
"The monograph under review can be considered as the next volume in a series of seminal monographs on the theoretical foundations of nonparametric estimation … . the monograph is almost self-contained and written in such a way that it is a valuable resource for both the researchers and graduate students who are novices in the field. The above is possible thanks to the authors’ clear and systematic way of presenting fundamental results and their proofs. … a valuable source of mathematical techniques … ."

Reviews of the First edition:

"This book represents a conscientious approach to understanding and treating the psychological manifestations and medical complexities of individuals suffering from bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, or obesity. The editor integrates the knowledge and experience of several respected members of the medical, clinical, and research communities to provide a comprehensive review of eating disorders and obesity...The editor provides a much-needed reference in the assessment and management of bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, and obesity. The contributors emphasize pharmacological and nutritional treatment of the disorders over psychological treatment strategies. Weighted Numerical Score: 95 - ****"-Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal

"For both obesity and eating disorders, The Management of Eating Disorders and Obesity should achieve its goal of providing guidance to the general practitioner to improve success and end the cycle of recurrent attempts and failures. I commend it to you."-From the foreword by Albert J. Stunkard, MD, University of Pennsylvania Medical School

"Obesity is a complex and ubiquitous problem, with no easy solution or algorithm that works for everyone. That's one reason I found The Management of Eating Disorders and Obesity  to be helpful text for any family physician...Part II, the majority of the book, covers all aspects of obesity in detail...The text's chapters are short and well organized and presented in an outline fashion with numerous helpful figures and graphs to support the text...Two chapters were outstanding. First, a thorough chapter on drug therapy was "Pharmacologic Treatment of Obesity." Case based and patient centered, "Treating Obesity in the Physician's Office" was superb...The authors also offered an obesity treatment program that makes sense."- Family Medicine

"This is an easily readable text, which presents its information in a fashion that is readily accessible to both clinicians and students. The contents are set out in four parts: Basic Concepts, Consumption, Deficiency, and Toxicity; Trace Element and Mineral Nutrition in Disease, and an index and guide to relevant literature. This format particularly suits the nutrition practitioner in patient care. However, an extensive index also enables the researcher or student to find basic information relating to individual trace elements or minerals. Each chapter provides a review of relevant recent research and an extensive reference list, which could further assist the researcher or student. For each of the nine trace elements currently considered essential ... and three major essential minerals...information regarding the recommended dietary intake, possible toxicity, estimated dietary intake, laboratory measurement, and role in health and disease is provided...The dangers in recommending dietary supplementation with trace elements and minerals is emphasized by description of the complex interactions between the dietary elements...Parts Two and Three discuss, within each chapter, all of the essential elements relevant to a particular condition or group of diseases. The particular needs of human pregnancy, human location, adolescence, and old age are provided in Part Two...In summary, this text deserves a place in the clinical nutritionist's library. The text provides an excellent mixture of current research and practical clinical nutrition, which can be used as a reference for patient care and for general trace element research, in an easily readable format." - Clinical Chemistry

"Marja Härmänmaa and Christopher Nissen's Decadence, Degeneration, and the End: Studies in the European Fin de Siècle is a highly original collection of essays that successfully brings new issues, new authors, and new artists into the orbit of decadent culture. A particular strength is the book's richly comparative, multidisciplinary approach: the essays range over British, French, Belgian, Spanish, Scandinavian, German, Greek, Italian, and Russian culture, while also extending discussion of decadence beyond literature and into the fields of art and science. A significant contribution to a topic of growing importance." - David Weir, Professor of Comparative Literature, The Cooper Union, USA and author of Decadence and the Making of Modernism and Decadent Culture in the United States: Art and Literature against the American Grain, 1890 1926

"This extraordinary collection of essays brings a new geographical and intellectual scope to our notion of decadence and its close relatives, degeneracy and aestheticism. Through history and science, visual and literary arts, from France and Britain to Russia, from the Nordic countries to Italy, Spain and Latin America, this volume incorporates an unprecedented range of materials. All scholars of the period will immediately recognise why this is essential reading, and the editors are to be congratulated on their vision in assembling a collection at once so varied and so focused." - David Ayers, Professor of Modernism and Critical Theory, University of Kent at Canterbury, UK

"The fin-de-siècle decadence is a complex and multifaceted cultural phenomenon that reached deeply into all aspects of European culture and the arts. This excellent volume offers a much needed reassessment of a number of key aesthetic and thematic preoccupations of decadent culture by means of a transnational and interdisciplinary perspective. The focus on notions of decadence, degeneration, and death sheds light onto the dark and pessimistic response of artists to modern life and science, while arguing forcefully for a reappraisal of such notions as fundamental to the call for regeneration and renewal in political, literary, and artistic terms which we normally associate with modernism." - Giuliana Pieri, Reader in Italian and the Visual Arts, Holloway University of London, UK

From the reviews of the second edition:

“The text covers all of the main parts of Ada that an experienced programmer will be looking to understand … .The examples are generally quite good and well formatted … . This book would probably be a good fit for someone who is experienced both in programming and in reading specifications, who already knows … Ada to write simple programs and who has a copy of the Ada Reference Manual at hand to look things up as required.” (Jeffery Putnam, ACM Computing Reviews, February, 2009)

'Challenging narrowly discursive and deconstructive approaches, Intersections between Feminist and Queer Theory brings together a stellar list of international scholars to make a powerful case for a theoretically robust, 'materialist' and intersectional approach to the critical analysis of gender and sexuality.
