A practical guide to basic urological examination, procedures and operations for medical students, interns, surgical and urological residents. Written in a format that allows junior doctors who may be assisting to understand procedures. Although no set of instructions should be standard or routine in surgery, pre- and post-operation guides are provided to be used by the intern or resident as frameworks for management of individual patients. There is also a guide to possible complications and their management. Includes a section on the management of urological emergencies that may first be seen by the junior doctor. Clear line drawings and photographs are used to illustrate important techniques.

Bibliography

This work is a collection of selected papers presented at the conference Trajectories of Freedom: Caribbean Societies, 18072007, a theme inspired by the two-hundredth anniversary of the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade in the British Empire. The papers interrogate and problematise shifting notions and expressions of freedom as they have evolved in Caribbean societies over the past two hundred years and as they have been applied in the context of the contemporary Caribbean.

Together, these essays illustrate the historical and continuing efforts in the various spheres of human endeavour in the Caribbean, including culture, education, language, social organisation, gender and politics  notwithstanding the constraints placed on Caribbean people by the legacies of slavery and colonialism  to finish the business of emancipation.

Bibliography

Beyond Homophobia: Centring LGBTQ Experiences in the Anglophone Caribbean aims to disrupt the conventional rendering of the Caribbean as uniquely and deeply homophobic by focusing on the experiences and agency of LGBTQ people in the region.

Presenting a wide range of perspectives and approaches, this book grew out of presentations at two groundbreaking events on the Jamaican campus of the University of the West Indies: a symposium discussing LGBTQ experiences and research in Jamaica, and a conference that expanded the focus to provide a regional scope. Activists, artists and academics came together to challenge and change the narratives about LGBTQ issues in the Caribbean, exploring sexualities, gender identities and queer practices beyond the discourse of violence, as well as the stereotypes, assumptions and limitations presented by conventional norms around gender and sexuality.

Beyond Homophobia combines a variety of academic disciplines with poetry and prose. Its contributions move from cyberspace to the dancehall, from literary analysis to ethnographic research, from pedagogical to methodological concerns, and from thoughts on the past to ideas about the future. The collection presents a range of perspectives on and techniques with which to interrogate notions of identity, sexualities, victimhood, agency, activism, fluidity, fixity, visibility, invisibility, class, homophobia, coming out, belonging and spirituality.

By illuminating the lives, experiences, and research of and about the queer anglophone Caribbean, this volume represents a concerted attempt to move Beyond Homophobia.

Bibliography

This book presents current theoretical and empirical information on areas of social psychology that have not been fully explored in recent times. These issues are not only topical but relevant to theorizing and research in social psychology. In a world that is globalizing, academic work must have an international dimension, especially in the behavioural sciences. The contributors to in ""Current Themes in Social Psychology"" are attached to universities across the world, including Great Britain, the United States, Germany, the Caribbean, Serbia and Spain. Such diversity makes for a richer understanding and appreciation of the discipline of social psychology by undergraduate and graduate students as well as academics.
