PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

'It is an excellent book...very highly recommended.' The International Journal of Nursing Studies 'The authors of this book have made a very successful attempt at de-mystifying the process by unravelling the whole and revealing the stages involved.' Nursing Times First edition of Nursing Research in Action was published in 1990. Since its publication, nurse education has changed dramatically, with Project 2000 commencing, and most nurse education linked with colleges, further, and higher education. The second edition of this successful book is taking this into consideration. It now addresses both the needs of Project 2000 students and undergraduate degree students. It offers more details on how to do qualitative research. The revised edition offers more information on each of the topics in each of the chapters. The activities and exercises remain while some new ones are added. A wider range of research sources are referred to. This new edition is more comprehensive and appropriate to an even wider market.

The Explanation For Everything: Essays on Sexual Subjectivity (Sexual Cultures, 31)

"The claim 'I'm straight' is the psychosexual analogue of 'The check is in the mail': if you need to say it, your credit or creditability is already in doubt." So begins Paul Morrison's dazzling polemic, which takes as its point of departure Foucault's famous remark that sex is "the explanation for everything." Combining psychoanalytic, literary, and queer theory, The Explanation for Everything seeks to account for the explanatory power attributed to homosexuality, and its relationship to compulsory heterosexuality. In the process, Morrison presents a scathing indictment of psychoanalysis and its impact on the study of sexuality. In bold but graceful leaps, Morrison applies his critique to a diversity of examples: subjectivity in Oscar Wilde, the cultural construction and reception of AIDS, the work of Robert Mapplethorpe, the practice of bodybuilding, and the contemporary reception of the sexual politics of fascism. Analytical, witty and astute, The Explanation for Everything will challenge and amuse, establishing Paul Morrison as one of our most exciting cultural critics.
