(A few years ago Mark Hudson went to live in Horden, a mining village on the bleak east coast of Durham. Horden had been the biggest colliery in Britain and among the men who had worked there were Mark Hudson's great grandfather and grandfather. The pit has now closed and Horden remains alive only in the memories of its old people. In search of his forebears Mark Hudson listens to tales of how it was of the hardships and traditions of the miner's life, of the struggles and triumphs of the union. And tales too of his ancestors, but these are curiously fickle: they flicker and fluctuate; the only certainty is the pit)

The world revolves and so the movement of musical cross-currents, interacting and enmeshing across its surface, grows denser by the day. Only one man can make sense of it all, and his name is Andrew "Litch" Litchfield, sometime record-producer, loose-cannon A&amp;R man, epic ligger and hype artist.

Towards the end of his life Titian didn't finish his paintings. The 87 year-old artist kept them in his studio, never quite completing them, as though wanting to endlessly postpone the moment of closure. Created with the fingers as much as the brush, Titian's last paintings are imbued with a sense of final, desperate effort - a rawness and immediacy that weren't to be seen again in art for centuries. But what did Titian, who experienced as much in the way of material success as any artist before or since, mean by these works? Are they a harrowing, final testament or simply a collection of unfinished paintings? In the outbreak of plague that finally killed him, Titian's studio was looted, and many paintings taken. What happened to them is not known. This book is a quest - a journey through Titian's life and work, towards the physical and spiritual landscape of his last paintings. Looking at Titian's relationships with his artistic rivals, his patrons - including popes, kings and emperors - and his troubled dealings with his own family, the narrative moves from the artist's home town in the Dolomites to the greatest churches and palaces of the age. Parallel with these physical travels is a journey through the paintings, following the glittering trajectory of Titian's life and career, the remorseless formal development that led to the breakthroughs of his last days. "Titian: The Last Days" is an exploratory history of the artist and his world that vividly recreates the atmosphere of sixteenth century Venice and Europe, a narrative in which the search for the subject becomes part of the subject itself. The result is a brilliant and compelling study of one of Europe's greatest artists that is at once passionate, engaging and deeply personal.

The ultimate text on child maltreatment is now available for continuing education credit. Physical Abuse and Neglect: A Training Curriculum, based on the highly respected science of intervention library of forensic titles from STM Learning, condenses the content of Child Maltreatment: A Clinical Guide and Reference to eight topical chapters meant to familiarize learners with the common forms of abuse and neglect. The training curriculum contains activities, test questions, photographic references, and a PowerPoint teaching presentation and is accredited through Saint Louis University's School of Medicine and School of Nursing to provide CME/CNE credit(s). 
 Child abuse crosses all social, ethnic, religious, cultural, and professional lines. The increase in public awareness of this problem has led to an increase in the investigation and diagnosis of potential abuse cases. Physical Abuse and Neglect: A Training Curriculum answers a pressing need for educational resources devoted to enabling those who work with children to understand and recognize potential cases of neglect or abuse and to training them in appropriate courses of action in what are often highly sensitive circumstances. The program is aimed not only at forensic diagnosis, but is also meant to remove the uncertainty often felt when facing a situation in which a child may be at risk. 
 This educational curriculum, devoted to training physicians, nurses, and other professionals who work with children in the evaluation and interpretation of potential child maltreatment cases, is ideal for those who wish to understand the typical symptoms and presentation of abuse cases. Moreover, Physical Abuse and Neglect: A Training Curriculum should be required reading for new pediatricians, pediatric nurses, law enforcement personnel, social workers, and any other professionals who interact with children in medical or investigative settings. The eight chapters of Physical Abuse and Neglect cover the common signifiers of abuse and the information necessary to differentiate between accidental injuries and illnesses and cases of abuse or neglect. 
 The information in Physical Abuse and Neglect is designed to be studied either as a whole or broken down on a chapter-by-chapter basis. The package price includes an initial certification through Saint Louis University; additional certificates are available for a reasonable fee of $30.00 for nurses and $45.00 for physicians.
