Tarnished Hero
James mark Sullivan was part of the post-famine Irish immigration to the United States in the late 19th century. Overcoming family misfortune, he moved from newsboy to journalist to Yale-educated lawyer. Relocating to New York City, his association with Tammany Hall involved him in the "Crime of the Century" Becker-Rosenthal murder case, a role not previously explored. Sullivan's involvement won him a patronage appointment as ambassador to Santo Domingo. Scandals about graft and corruption forced his resignation. However, another factor which contributed to his dismissal, unexplained until now, was his effort at subversion of his government's policy of neutrality, which was connected to his ties to Irish nationalism. He later established the first indigenous Irish film company with a pronounced Nationalist agenda, making several films which are now classics of the silent film era. Following the death of his wife and son during the influenza epidemic of 1918, he returned to the United States. Failing to revive his legal career, he removed to Florida, dying in relative obscurity.

As the current debate over the meaning of nation and nationalism has made thoughtful readers question the term, its application to the field of film studies has become the subject of recent interrogation. In The Myth of an Irish Cinema, Michael Patrick Gillespie presents a groundbreaking challenge to the traditional view of filmmaking, contesting the existence of an Irish national cinema. Given the social, economic, and cultural complexity of contemporary Irish identity, Gillespie argues, filmmakers can no longer ...

Recent Advances in Gyne-Endocrinology
Advances in genetics, molecular, cellular and developmental biology in endocrinology have expanded and magnified to understand the fundamental mechanism involved in endocrine function, dysfunction and disease of the hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian-uterine axis. Due to the above facts, new and evidence based diagnostic management and preventive options have emerge. In practice, gyne-endocrinologists feel embarrassed when confronted by endocrine problems probably due to deficiencies in knowledge of endocrinology and lack of systematic current and informed approach to these clinical situations. This book not only highlights the molecular, cellular and genetics of the endocrine system but also focuses on the various diseases like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), delayed and precocious puberty, dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB), obesity, etc. which is sure to help gyne-endocrinologists in their clinical practice.

Sacred Inception
This edited volume explores the intersection of spirituality with childbirth from 1800 to the present day from a comparative perspective. It illustrates how over this time period in much of the world, traditional practices, home births, and midwives have been overshadowed and undermined by male dominated obstetrics, hospitalization, and ultimately the medicalization of the birthing process itself.
