Asthma, for which there is no known cure, is one of the fastest-growing illnesses in Britain - especially among children - with figures showing that one in seven suffers from it and as many as 2000 a year die from severe attacks. Offering practical help to sufferers of all ages, this book lists many of the known triggers, such as dust mites, gives advice on how to avoid them, and describes the conventional treatments available and when it is sensible to try complementary therapies. Throughout, case histories of individuals with asthma reveal how the condition has affected their lives and how they have coped with it.

Academic Governance (Routledge Research in Higher Education)

Academia is an important site for producing knowledge, which is crucial in driving economies and societies around the globe at the beginning of the 21st century. Yet surprisingly little is known about how contemporary universities are shaped by the formal and multiple demands they face from national policy requirements, particularly performance measurement. What effects do these policies have on individual universities and the academics who work within them? While policy surely has impacts on institutions and academics, there are also numerous other things that shape academic life. This book’s starting point is that there are three main shaping forces that govern academia – intellectual curiosity, disciplinary traditions and research policy. Bringing these three levels together into a framework, this book examines how academia is governed, both formally and informally, bridging the different aspects of governing knowledge networks through a large multi-country study. Author Jenny Lewis uses a large empirical study of academics in three countries (Australia, Britain and New Zealand) and in the broad disciplinary areas of the humanities, social sciences and sciences, to demonstrate the analytical framework’s application. The book also offers some needed directions on what policy should and can do, providing a snapshot of contemporary academic life in different disciplines and in different countries, from the perspective of academics on the frontline.

Lewis states she is "documenting the quiet moment just after giving birth when the female identity of motherhood is being established". In addition to featuring the portraits of 40 women the book includes personal quotes gathered from interviews with the subjects about the first day of life and early motherhood.
