Volume 6:Contains 78 papers from the 6th International Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine, held in Philadelphia, USA and offers an extensive account of the leading edge research in this field of bioceramics. The sections are organized in such a way that they reflect the major lines of ceramics research, as well as focus on the critical properties and the mechanistic analyses of the interactions these materials elicit in tissues. The book includes sections on so called bioinert ceramics. These ceramics such as alumina and zirconia, are chemically very stable materials. They are primarily used in artificial joints and dental implants. Carbon-based ceramics have outstanding blood contact properties, and therefore, are the materials of choice in the construction of heart valves. This volume includes sections covering the current research on the use of bioactive ceramics and glasses as coatings on prostheses to achieve long-lasting fixation of devices.Volume 7:The primary forum for presentation of new work in the field of bioceramics is the annual International Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine. The chapters of this book represent the proceedings of the 7th meeting in this important series, held in Turku, Finland, in July 1994. The conference attracted a multidisciplinary audience from the bioceramics community, including leading academic and industrial scientists, manufacturers and regulators. The volume comprises 69 articles.This work contains the latest research on the increasingly important and wide-ranging role of bioceramics in medicine. Contributions from internationally renowned scientists and researchers reflect the rapid developments occurring in major areas of ceramic materials used in orthopaedic, cardiovascular, dental and other applications.Volume 8:This up-to-date and comprehensive account of current work in bioceramics will be a vital reference document for academic and industrial researchers in the field, and it will also be of great value to students and lecturers in materials science, medical engineering and clinical implantology. The book contains 115 high quality photographs, and contains both an author index and a subject index.

The Domination of Strangers: Modern Governance in Eastern India, 1780-1835 (Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies)

Offering a major new interpretation of the transformation of political thought and practice in colonial India, The Domination of Strangers traces the origins of modern ideas about the state and Indian civil society to the practical interaction between the British and their south Asian subjects.

Learning to Love

Nobody thinks love unimportant, but we are not as clear as we should be about what love involves, and about what it is to learn to love. This book is primarily concerned with personal love between the sexes (or between members of the same sex). It is a mixture of analytic philosophy and depth-psychology, but free from jargon and technicality. Its main aim is to help us to understand the nature and value of love, and to grasp the difficulties we have to face when engaging with it.

Reference

This book provides a comparative analysis of the several types of banking structure and the ways in which banks undertake their business. It surveys central banking arrangements in a number of countries. Against an historical background, it describes banking systems ranging from the so-called ‘unit banking’ of the USA to the branch banking arrangements that derive from British experience, as well as many systems in between. The business of banking is analysed comparatively within the framework of a simplified bank balance sheet, special attention being given to industrial banking and to assets and liabilities management. It explores how money markets function and, within this framework, how central banks operate and attempt to implement monetary and credit policy. The book includes the results of extensive new research, part of which involved interviewing many key figures throughout the banking industry.
