"Colin's Campus argues that pastoral poetry is inevitably a backwards-looking genre, preoccupied with the past. This preoccupation in the case of Spenser, as well as his pastoral followers, returned him to the Cambridge he had recently left behind, not the court to which he never really arrived." "Responding to the pastoral-court connection which has been at the center of nearly all historical considerations of pastoral for the past two decades, this study invites readers to seriously consider the reverse connection, that is, the academic ingredients in the pastoral world."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Up to Heaven and Down to Hell by Colin Jerolmack Pdf
A riveting portrait of a rural Pennsylvania town at the center of the fracking controversy Shale gas extraction—commonly known as fracking—is often portrayed as an energy revolution that will transform the American economy and geopolitics. But in greater Williamsport, Pennsylvania, fracking is personal. Up to Heaven and Down to Hell is a vivid and sometimes heartbreaking account of what happens when one of the most momentous decisions about the well-being of our communities and our planet—whether or not to extract shale gas and oil from the very land beneath our feet—is largely a private choice that millions of ordinary people make without the public's consent. The United States is the only country in the world where property rights commonly extend "up to heaven and down to hell," which means that landowners have the exclusive right to lease their subsurface mineral estates to petroleum companies. Colin Jerolmack spent eight months living with rural communities outside of Williamsport as they confronted the tension between property rights and the commonwealth. In this deeply intimate book, he reveals how the decision to lease brings financial rewards but can also cause irreparable harm to neighbors, to communal resources like air and water, and even to oneself. Up to Heaven and Down to Hell casts America’s ideas about freedom and property rights in a troubling new light, revealing how your personal choices can undermine your neighbors’ liberty, and how the exercise of individual rights can bring unintended environmental consequences for us all.
Genomics and Clinical Medicine by Dhavendra Kumar,David Weatherall Pdf
The completion of the Human Genome Project has been an important milestone in medicine. The identification of approximately 25,000 genes and their regulatory proteins provides the framework for understanding the molecular and metabolic basis of disease. This advance has laid the foundation for a broad range of genomic tools that have opened the way for targeted genetic testing in a number of medical disorders. This book is designed to be the first major text to discuss genomics-based advances in disease susceptibility, diagnosis, prognostication, and predication of treatment outcomes in various areas of medicine. After building a strong underpinning in the basic concepts of genomics, the book discusses a wide range of medical disorders and the applications now afforded by genomic analysis. It is now widely acknowledged that the information generated by genomics will provide major benefits for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of communicable and genetic diseases as well as other common complex medical disorders, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and mental illness.
NINCDS Index to Research Grants Subject Number Investigator & Contracts by National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke Pdf
Northern Sandlots is the story of the rise and fall of regional baseball on the northeast coast of North America. Colin Howell writes about the social and economic influence of baseball on community life in the Maritimes and New England during the past century, from its earliest spread from cities and towns into the countryside, to the advent of television, and the withering of local semi-pro leagues after the Second World War. The history of sport is an important feature of the `new' social history. Howell discusses how baseball has been deeply implicated in debates about class and gender, race and ethnicity, regionalism and nationalism, work and play, and the commercialization of leisure. Baseball's often overlooked connection to medical and religious discourse is also explored. Howell begins with the game's earliest days when it was being molded by progressive reformers to meet what they considered to be the needs of an emerging industrial society. He then turns to the interwar years when baseball in the Maritimes became strictly amateur, revealing an emerging sense of community solidarity and regional identity. The game flourished at the community level after the Second World War, before it eventually succumbed to the new, commodified, and nationally marketed sporting culture that accompanied the development of the modern consumer society. Finally, Howell shows that fundamental changes in the nature of capitalism after the war, and in the economic and social reality of small towns and cities, hastened the death of a century-long tradition of competitive, community-level baseball. Howell has written an informative and insightful social history that examines the transformation of Maritime community life from the 1860s to the late twentieth century.
