The book covers the vocational training and employment of young workers in various advanced economies, including the large EEC economies, the US, Sweden and the Netherlands. The difficulty which young people face in acquiring skills and employment is outlined and assessed. The variety of structures governing the economic activity of young people is then analyzed from an institutional standpoint, considering the interests and strategies of employers, trade unions, governments and young people themselves. The contributions and limitations of market forces and deregulation, as applied to youth, receive special attention. Particular attributes of youth economic activity - vocational education, unemployment, public training policy and entry paths to skilled employment - are examined in the context of paired-country comparisons. The attitudes of young workers to trade unions and of trade unions to pro-youth public interventions are discussed in the Dutch and British contexts respectively.

This is a diagnostic teaching manual for radiologists being trained on the techniques and applications of nuclear imaging. It also appeals to clinicians in various disciplines, such as cardiology and endocrinology, who need to learn as much as possible on the scope and potential of nuclear imaging as a diagnostic tool. Furthermore, the book may be of use to FRCR and DMRD candidates, and to those attending training courses. All sections are system-based and contain cases to illustrate straightforward and complex applications of nuclear imaging. All examples carry full data of case history, imaging methodology, results and further investigations where applicable. There is also a brief introductory chapter on fundamental disgnostic issues, such as sensitivity, specificity and criteria for choosing the appropriate imaging technique. A selected bibliography is included at the end of each "system" section.

Asking Angela MacNamara: An Intimate History of Irish Lives (New Directions in Irish History)

Angela Macnamara wrote an advice column for Ireland's The Sunday Press newspaper and was perhaps the most influential agony aunt in Irish journalism in the 1960s and 1970s. Using Macnamara's letters published by The Sunday Press, this fascinating book offers a unique insight into intimate relationships within family life in Ireland. It charts how dating and married couples negotiated a new understanding of their intimate lives, and it shows how women rejected relationships where sex was a duty within marriage as opposed to an expression of love. The analysis of the column's letters reveal how this transition provoked anxiety among Angela Macnamara's conservative readership as they struggled to reconcile seeing their bodies less as conduits of sin and more as instruments of pleasure. The problem page became a vehicle through which people explored these two different understandings. Asking Angela Macnamara explores these developments within intimate life as part of a greater process of informalization within Irish society. Children demanded that their parents defend and explain their use of corporal punishment in the home. The faithful questioned the Catholic Church's position on moral issues, such as contraception and homosexuality. Gay men questioned why their sexuality was both criminalized by the State and treated as a disorder by the psychiatric profession. Angela Macnamara emerges from these debates as both a traditionalist in defending Catholic social teaching and a modernist in encouraging an open discussion of sexuality.

Composed in the fourth century b.c., the Phaedrus—a dialogue between Phaedrus and Socrates—deals ostensibly with love but develops into a wide-ranging discussion of such subjects as the pursuit of beauty, the nature of humanity, the immortality of the soul, and the attainment of truth, ending with an in-depth discussion of the principles of rhetoric. This erudite commentary, which also includes the original Greek text, is designed to help intermediate-level students of Greek read, understand, and enjoy Plato’s magnificent work. Drawing on his extensive classroom experience and linguistic expertise, Paul Ryan offers a commentary that is both rich in detail and—in contrast to earlier, more austere commentaries on the Phaedrus—fully engaging. Line by line, he explains subtle points of language, explicates difficulties of syntax, and brings out nuances of tone and meaning that students might not otherwise notice or understand. Ryan sections his commentary into units of convenient length for classroom use, with short summaries at the head of each section to orient the reader. Never straying far from the text itself, Ryan provides useful historical glosses and annotations for the student, introducing information ranging from the architecture of the Lyceum to Athenian politics. Further historical and philosophical context is provided in the introduction by Mary Louise Gill, who outlines the issues addressed in the Phaedrus and situates it in relation to Plato’s other dialogues.
