Sharman, an attractive and vivacious lady met and eventually married a wealthy, older, Jewish businessman who had an obsession for other women. To her shock and horror, after just two months of marriage a seemingly innocent phone call rocks her world when it revealed that her husband was caught up in the sleazy under-world of sex and prostitution. The story is set around the East and West End of London, England and covers sixteen years of a spasmodic, turbulent and volatile relationship that breaks down after he was charged and imprisoned for being a pimp. This moving true-life story and the graphic exposure of Sharman's relationship with Shmel the Rat - The yiddisher pimp, is the ultimate revenge of a dishonoured wife.

InRe-Constructing Archaeology, Shanks and Tilley aim to challenge the disciplinary practices of both traditional and the `new' archaeology and to present a radical alternative - a critically self-consious archaeology aware of itself as pracitce in the present, and equally a social archaeology that appreciates artefacts not merely as ovjects of analysis but as part of a social world of past and present that is charged with meaning. It is a fresh and invigorating contribution to the emergence of a philosophically and politically informed archaeology.

Lactation: A Comprehensive Treatise, Volume IV, The Mammary Gland/Human Lactation/Milk Synthesis, forms the fourth in a series. When the first three volumes were published in 1974, publication of future volumes was not contemplated. However, the gratifying acceptance by the scientific community and the continuation of rapid advances in lactation, have provided the impetus for the continuation of the series. The present volume is concerned with general aspects of the mammary gland, human lactation, and mechanisms of milk synthesis. The volume is divided into three main parts. Part I covers some aspects of the mammary gland and lactation not discussed in the first three volumes and expands on others. Topics discussed include the development of the mammary apparatus and neuroendocrine control of lactation. Part II is devoted to more specific consideration of human lactation as a whole. It includes studies on breast feeding and the breast cancer process. Part III on milk synthesis deals with the mechanisms of milk synthesis; enzymology and control of lactose biosynthesis; molecular aspects of milk protein biosynthesis; and ion and water transport in the mammary gland.
During the five years of the Second World War, the power of engines and speed of aircraft increased as much as it did during twenty years of peacetime. Conventional aircraft and engines reached the limits marked in the original design and surpassed them, very fast. The basis for this huge achievement was exotic fuels, short-lived artificially overpowered engines, propellers with four, five, and even six blades, and thinner wings with special sections of laminar flow. Then the faster Allied fighters began to be attacked by a demon that lived in the air: scientists called it compressibility buffeting and different type of aircraft suffered it at different speeds and manifested itself in different ways. The American and British designers never understood the true causes behind the aerodynamic phenomenon. They were forced to adopt brute force solutions by increasing engine power on the turbojet powered fighters, leaving in the background the research on the last projects of fighters, driven by monster piston engines. The purpose of this book is to present them to the public, for its notable interest.
Today, given the well-publicized impacts of events such as El Niño, there is an unequaled public awareness of how climate affects the quality of life and environment. Such awareness has created an increasing demand for accurate climatological information. This information is now available in one convenient, accessible source, the Encyclopedia of World Climatology. This comprehensive volume covers all the main subfields of climatology, supplies information on climates in major continental areas, and explains the intricacies of climatic processes. The level of presentation will meet the needs of specialists, university students, and educated laypersons. A successor to the 1986 Encyclopedia of...

This practical volume, the first book in the Manuals in Archaeological Method, Theory and Technique series, examines in detail the factors that affect archaeological detectability in surveys whose methods range from visual to remote sensing in land, underwater, and intertidal zones - furnishing a comprehensive treatment of prospection, parameter estimation, model building, and detection of spatial structure.
Bald nach Erscheinen des Bandes "Geschwülste" "Geschwiilste" 1956 1956 wurde wurde deutlich, deutlich, daß daB dies dies nur ein Anfang gewesen sein konnte. Die grundlegenden Beitrage Beiträge dieses Bandes spiegelten den Wissensstand am Beginn des 6. Jahrzehnts wider. Sie waren wahrscheinlich zugleich die letzten echten Handbuchbeitrage Handbuchbeiträge zu diesem Thema: umfassend und enzyklopadisch enzyklopädisch vollständig vollstandig und trotzdem als Ganzes lesbar, verfaßt verfaBt von den damals besten Sachkennern in Deutschland. Inzwischen hat sich das Handbuch der Allgemeinen Pathologie gewandelt. Entsprechend der Weitung des Faches vergrößerten vergroBerten sich die Themen. N...
