This poetry collection, GALLOWAY GATE, meditates on thousands of years of human activity in a spectacular landscape. The Galloway Gate is an ancient drove road running south out of Scotland through Cumbria. At Tebay, where the River Lune flows between the Howgills and the Shap Fells, it travels alongside all the local paths and trackways, Roman and modern roads, the West Coast main railway and the M6 motorway, which have been compelled by geology to follow the river through the Lune Gorge.
Australian whistleblowers take us into a world of wrong-doing that few of us know or want to believe exists.

This textbook provides a practical and comprehensive account of the management of diarrhea and constipation in the elderly. These common disorders are not only a burden in themselves but are often manifestations of a more serious underlying illness; thus, effective diagnosis and treatment are essential to improve quality of life. The chapters include updates on pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment, and highlight the vulnerability of the elderly to diarrhea and its complications. The etiology of diarrhea is explained, including infections of the gastrointestinal tract, and systemic diseases of which it is a symptom. The authors represent diverse disciplines: immunology, physiology, microbiology, nutrition, and psychiatry. The book is aimed at geriatricians, general practitioners, gastroenterologists, and allied health workers.
