Studies in gender in medieval culture have tended to focus on femininity, however the study of medieval masculinities has developed greatly over the last few years. Holiness and Masculinity in the Middle Ages is the first volume to concentrate on this specific aspect of medieval gender studies, and looks at the ways in which varieties of medieval masculinity intersected with concepts of holiness. Patricia Cullum and Katherine J. Lewis have collected an exceptional group of essays that explore differing notions of medieval holiness, understood variously as religious, saintly, sacred, pure, morally perfect, and consider topics such as significance of the tonsure, sanctity and martyrdom, eunuch saints, and the writings of Henry Suso. Holiness and Masculinity in the Middle Ages deals with a wide variety of texts and historical contexts, from Byzantium to Anglo-Saxon and late-medieval England.
During the last few years, interest in research on the progression of chronic renal diseases has grown to the extent that this field is now in the mainstream of investigative nephrology. This interdisciplinary volume brings together the latest data from institutes at the forefront of current research. The contents cover a diverse range of topics including apoptosis in renal modeling and remodeling, the role of cytokines, growth factors and macrophages, the metabolism of interstitial collagen and collagenous materials, diabetic nephropathy, and vasoactive substances in renal injury. The use of methodology from morphometry to DNA recombinant technology illustrates the wide range of experimental approaches being adopted. Stimulating and up-to-date, this book is essential reading for nephrologists, biochemists, molecular biologists and all investigators interested in the mechanisms of renal disease progression.
