For author Sterling Johnson, swearing is essential to effective communication. With this in mind, he developed a guidebook that teaches readers how to cure effectively in detail, with numerous examples taken from everyday life. Like its predecessor, English As A Second F*cking Language, the guide teaches non-native speakers the basics of swearing effectively in English while offering native speakers a wide variety of new twists and refinements on classic obscenity. Examples range from the gross to the witty, but they're always practical and they always evoke a laugh. Definitely not for the squeamish among us, this book is an informative look at taboo words and expressions.

Pathways of Care programmes are used in all areas of healthcare to improve clinical effectiveness and the quality of patient care. This book is an essential reference source for all those involved in coordinating healthcare delivery. It is also a valuable tool for those piloting the use of Pathways, for those who have already implemented Pathway programmes, and for anyone interested in investigating or using Pathways. The book provides detailed information on the concepts of Pathways and many examples of how Pathways of care have been implemented and used in different clinical settings. The text considers key topics including clinical guidelines, legal issues, risk management and analysis of variation. With contributions from experts in a wide range of settings--including community and mental health, cardiology, urology, orthopaedics and paediatrics--this well-referenced text draws on practical experiences in identifying, evaluating and modifying the process of healthcare delivery.

A wide-ranging examination of popular and political attitudes towards East European Jews in Nineteenth and early Twentieth century Britain, focusing on the degree to which British intellectual life forged transnational associations that facilitated the transmission of anti-Jewish prejudice.

This monograph is an original study of what is commonly termed the American "myth of Ham". It examines black and white Americans' recourse to the biblical character of Ham as a cultural strategy for explaining racial origins. Previous studies in the area have been restricted to associating the Hamitic idea with pro-slavery arguments, whereas the thesis of this project reveals a fundamental irony: black American Christians who reinforced the meanings of illegitimacy by appealing to Ham as the ancestor of the race.
