The House of Lords
by Donald Shell
The House of Lords has undergone significant change in recent years. The exclusion of the great majority of the hereditary peers in 1999 was intended as the first step in a two-stage reform process. But further reform has proved difficult to achieve and remains a matter of considerable controversy. Meanwhile, the present House has become more assertive, and is now widely recognised as making a substantial contribution to the overall work of parliament. This book, available in paperback for the first time, examines the role of the contemporary House. Who are the peers, and who among the total of over 700 are the active peers? How does the House work, and how effective is it in revising legislation and in scrutinising the work of government? Why has fundamental reform of the House been so long delayed, and what are the main arguments about reform today? These are among the questions discussed in this timely volume, which seeks to locate discussion about the House of Lords in the wider context of a clear understanding of the developing British constitution. This book will be of great value to students and academics in British politics, as well as to serious journalists and researchers. ;

Manual Trigger Point Therapy and Dry Needling for Chronic Pain
Myofascial medicine as an approach to an unresolved challenge
by Beat Dejung
Medicine for the relief of pain has made little progress in the last 50 years. 16% of our population claim to suffer from chronic pain, for which no lasting help can be found, despite years of treatment by different doctors. Trigger point therapy experts have integrated myofascial techniques into their everyday therapy in recent decades and through this they have achieved good results even with complex and chronic problems. In this book, instructors from the Interest Group for Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy (IMTT) in Switzerland present 33 complex cases of patients with chronic pain, whose pain they were able to relieve permanently with manual trigger point therapy and dry needling. Using these case studies, doublepage spreads with an educational, uniform layout clearly present the diagnosis, pathophysiology and chronifcation of myofascial pain syndromes and, in conclusion, describe encouraging and surprising successes despite previous therapy resistance.

Court and civic society in the Burgundian Low Countries c.1420–1530
by Andrew Brown, Graeme Small
This volume is the first ever attempt to unite and translate some of the key texts which informed Johan Huizinga's famous study of the Burgundian court, The Waning of the Middle Ages, a work which has never gone out of print. It combines these texts with sources that Huizinga did not consider, those that illuminate the wider civic world that the Burgundian court inhabited and the dynamic interaction between court and city. Through these sources, and an introduction offering new perspectives on recent historiography, the book tests whether Huizinga's controversial vision of the period still stands. Covering subjects including ceremonial events, such as the spectacles and gargantuan banquets that made the Burgundian dukes the talk of Europe, the workings of the court, and jousting, archery and rhetoric competitions, the book will appeal to students of late medieval and early modern Europe and to those with wider interests in court culture, ritual and ceremony.

Werke 1: Die Gedichte
by Heiner Müller, Frank Hörnigk
Dieser Band I der Werkausgabe enthält neben allen Gedichten, die der Autor zu Lebzeiten in Büchern, Zeitschriften, Zeitungen und an entlegeneren Orten veröffentlichte, auch sämtliche 120 im persönlichen Archiv Heiner Müllers hinterlegten unveröffentlichten Gedichte. Erstmals wird hiermit das gesamte lyrische Schaffen des Autors im Zusammenhang vorgestellt. Heiner Müller hat an der Vorbereitung dieses Bandes noch selbst teilgenommen, Material gesichtet und geordnet. Es entspricht seinem Wunsch, daß diese Ausgabe dem Prinzip »brutaler Chronologie« folgt. Bitte beachten Sie: Der Band enthält zwei Gedichte, die nicht von Heiner Müller, sondern von Günter Kunert stammen. Es handelt sich um die Texte »Impressionen am Meer« und »Die Uhr läuft ab«. Der Fehler wird in der nächsten Auflage des Bandes korrigiert.
