The imperial age of Venice, 1380-1580, ([Library of European civilization])

Thames&Hudson

This work presents important materials - many previously unpublished in any language, and almost none previously available in English - for the history of the city-state of Venice. These sources cover the period from about 1450, when Venice was approaching the zenith of its power and reputation, to 1630, when there were unmistakable signs of economic and political decline. The work consists of substantial translated extracts from contemporary descriptions, chronicles, diaries, polemical writings, legislation, petitions, minute-books of guilds and religious brotherhoods, wills, notarial acts, and so forth. Containing both literary and documentary evidence, these texts illustrate important themes and are designed to build up a comprehensive account of government and society in Venice, and to present some aspects of its art, architecture and literature in relation to the people and public bodies that commissioned, paid for, bought, enjoyed, and otherwise supported them. Each section carries a succinct introduction and a bibliography intended to help readers to interpret the sources for themselves and to explore the issues that lie behind them. The opening chapter offers descriptions of the city and its inhabitants, by authors who range from Marino Sanudo, the Venetian diarist and historian, writing in 1493, to the English and Spanish ambassadors, Carleton and Bedmar, who observed Venice with very different eyes in the early 17th century. Subsequent chapters deal with the following themes - the ideal and the private wealth; religious life; social orders (nobility, citizenry, and artisans); charity and the poor; foreign communities (Germans, Greeks, Jews and Turks); and cultural and intellectual life - how it was lived, and who paid for it - including literature, book publishing, entertainment, and the visual arts.

Every trainee in anaesthesia requires a thorough understanding of basic physiology and its application to clinical practice. This comprehensively illustrated textbook bridges the gap between medical school and reference scientific texts. It covers the physiology requirements of the Primary FRCA examination syllabus. Chapters are organised by organ system, with particular emphasis given to the respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems. The practical question-and-answer format helps the reader prepare for the oral examination, while 'clinical relevance' boxes translate the physiological concepts to clinical practice. The authors include two medical physiologists and a Specialty Registrar in anaesthesia, and thereby bring a unique blend of expertise. This ensures that the book is up-to-date, accessible, and pitched appropriately for the trainee anaesthetist. Packed with easily understood, up-to-date and clinically relevant material, this convenient volume provides an essential 'one-stop' resource in physiology for junior anaesthetists.

Every trainee in anaesthesia requires a thorough understanding of basic physiology and its application to clinical practice. Now in its second edition, this comprehensively illustrated textbook bridges the gap between medical school and reference scientific texts. It covers the physiology requirements of the Primary FRCA examination syllabus. Chapters are organised by organ system, with particular emphasis given to the respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems. The practical question-and-answer format helps the reader prepare for oral examinations, while 'clinical relevance' boxes translate the physiological concepts to clinical practice. This new edition has been thoroughly updated and revised throughout, and includes six new chapters, including the physiology of the eye, upper airway and exercise testing. It provides junior anaesthetists with an essential 'one stop' physiology resource.

CRQs for the Final FRCA is the first book of its kind and an invaluable resource for any candidate preparing to pass the written aspect of the Final FRCA. It has been specifically designed to reflect the new written examination format, providing ten complete CRQ examination papers and answer templates, with additional tips and references to aid further learning. Each paper has been carefully formulated to include the different topics contained within the examination and cover a vast area of the syllabus. Unlike other revision texts, this book will enable candidates to practise the CRQ format and refine their exam technique to ensure they are best equipped to succeed. It is written by a team of two consultant anaesthetists and two senior trainees who run the North West Final FRCA Exam Practice Course and have extensive experience of preparing trainees to pass the examination.

Analysis through Action for Actors and Directors is a comprehensive view of an innovative and exciting process for making new theatre.As well as an understanding of how Analysis through Action has developed over time, this book also demonstrates how it can be put into practice in today's theatre. The first part of this book traces the exciting genealogy from Stanislavsky's unfinished experiments, through the insights of geniuses Maria Knebel and Georgii Tovstonogov, down to today's avant-garde auteurs. The second part is a practical manual based on extensive field testing by the author and colleagues. Here, two key components of the process are elucidated: Text Actions - ten interwoven text analysis steps - twinned with the thrilling rehearsal process using focused and joyful improvisations called Études.Written for new or experienced theatre students and practitioners, this book will enrich the technique of any theatre artist and anyone else interested in the theatre and its future.
