Calum Carmichael presents a new perspective on how parables unique to Luke's Gospel were composed. These parables took up moral issues that arose out of conflicts among figures such as Jacob and Esau, Joseph and his brothers, Judah and Tamar as portrayed in Genesis narratives. Providing literary and linguistic analyses, Carmichael demonstrates how Luke, like many of his contemporaries, absorbed the narrative legacy of the Hebrew Bible and used it to express ideas about Jesus. The Joseph story was of particular interest to Luke because Joseph's role during the Egyptian famine resulted in the rescue of his family, thereby giving the Israelite nation a future. Carmichael's radically different approach identifies the influence of ancestral wrongdoing on how Luke portrayed Jesus' moral teaching.

This innovative study explores the forms, expressions, and narratives of nostalgia in both popular society and the state in late Pahlavi Iran. Zhand Shakibi examines the rise and spread of nostalgia through sources ranging across mass media, literature, court proceedings and state policy, offering a new dimension to the study of the period.

This innovative work explores the objectification of childhood pain in British medical discourse from the dawn of Darwinism to the advent of the welfare state. Fernández-Fontecha examines the relationship between the experience of pain and its social and medical perception, demonstrating how the child in pain came to be perceived.

Japan has been an enthusiastic user of exhibitions for 150 years, holding over 1300 since the later nineteenth century. Lockyer explores how these events have been used as catalysts of development, arguing that the history of this enthusiasm nuances our understanding of modern Japan.

This Element first sets the history of printing in Japan in its East Asian context, showing how developments in China, Korea and elsewhere had an impact upon Japan. It then undertakes a re-examination of printing in seventeenth-century Japan and in particular explores the reasons why Japanese printers abandoned typography less than fifty years after it was introduced. This is a question that has often been posed but never satisfactorily answered, but this Element takes a new approach, focusing on two popular medical texts that were first printed typographically and then xylographically. The argument presented here is that the glosses relied upon by Japanese readers could be much more easily be provided when printing xylographically: since from the early seventeenth century onwards printed books customarily included glosses for the convenience of readers, this was surely the reason for the abandonment of typography.

The first pan-imperial history of commissions of inquiry sent across the British empire between 1819 and 1833. Drawing on the commissioners' extensive archive, this work develops a new understanding of early nineteenth-century reform as a part-genuine and part-defensive commitment to managing change on the global stage of counter revolution.

66 adult and paediatric neuromuscular case vignettes are structured like a clinical consultation starting with history taking and neurological examination. Highly illustrated with tables of differential diagnoses and videos of clinical features, cases describe state-of-the-art diagnostic procedures, treatments and other management options.

While revealing Noah as a pivotal figure in the history of Western religious thinking, Philip Almond demonstrates how the flood story also had a very significant and forgotten role in the development of secular thought, even as it is now a powerful lightning rod for gathering climatic and environmental anxieties.

The much-anticipated new edition of 'Learning the Art of Electronics' is here! It defines a hands-on course, inviting the reader to try out the many circuits that it describes. Several new labs (on amplifiers and automatic grain control) have been added to the analog part of the book, which also sees an expanded treatment of meters. Many labs now have online supplements. The digital sections have been rebuilt. An FPGA replaces the less-capable programmable logic devices, and a powerful ARM microcontroller replaces the 8051 previously used. The new microcontroller allows for more complex programming (in C) and more sophisticated applications, including a lunar lander, a voice recorder, and a lullaby jukebox. A new section explores using an Integrated Development Environment to compile, download, and debug programs. Substantial new lab exercises, and their associated teaching material, have been added, including a project reflecting this edition's greater emphasis on programmable logic.

Health Law as Private Law delves into the complex relationship between private law and health care. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of public ordering and state-created rules was evident, yet this work reveals the equally important role of private agreements in shaping health care policy. The volume's five sections - theory and structure, reproductive care, costs and financing, innovation and institutions, contracts and torts - include innovative conceptualizations and approaches to applying private law to health law. Chapters authored by leading experts explore how private law can be utilized to address significant health care and public health problems, and to achieve much-needed health care reform. Comprehensive and timely, Health Law as Private Law opens new pathways that will influence future policy, jurisprudence, and regulation. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Governments are increasingly trying to achieve a variety of public interests through competitive tendering of public contracts, authorisations, subsidies as well as public assets. Over the past decades, domestic and EU law has developed for these 'limited rights' at different speed and is extremely fragmented: there is no coherent legal framework. This book provides information on the legal aspects of competitive allocation of all types of limited rights on the basis of an overarching perspective. It explains the impact of the legal framework on the ability of governments to achieve the public interests they pursue through competitive tendering. The book is relevant for domestic and EU public authorities, legislators, courts of law, as well as academics. It discusses and connects in a consistent manner, legal questions arising in the framework of competitive allocation of public contracts, authorisations, subsidies and public assets.
