Addiction to alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs is one of the major public health issues of our time. It accounts for one of every five deaths in the United States and costs approximately one-half trillion dollars per year in health care expenditures and lost productivity. Its human costs are untold and perhaps uncountable. Addiction and Art puts a human face on addiction through the creative work of individuals who have been touched by it.

Free Download Adaptations, Versions and Perversions in Modern British Drama By Ignacio Ramos Gay; Ignacio Ramos Gay
2013 | 181 Pages | ISBN: 1443847003 | PDF | 1 MB
This book aims to explore which plays were deemed 'suitable' to be reworked for foreign or local stages; what transformations - linguistic, semiotic, theatrical - were undertaken so as to accommodate international audiences; how national literary traditions are forged, altered, and diluted by means of transnational adapting techniques; and, finally, to what extent the categorical boundaries between original plays and adaptations may be blurred on the account of such adjusting textual strategies. It brings together ten articles that scrutinise the linguistic, social, political and theatrical complexities inherent in the intercultural transference of plays. The approaches presented by the different contributors investigate modern British theatre as an instance of diachronic and synchronic transnational adaptations based upon a myriad of influences originating in, and projected upon, other national dramatic traditions. These traditions, rooted in relatively distant geographies and epochs, are traced so as to illustrate the split between the state-imposed identity and personal, subjective identity caused by cultural negotiations of the self in an age of globalism. International frontiers are thus pointed at in order to claim the need to be transcended in the process of cultural re-appropriation associated with theatre performance for international audiences.

Free Download Acts of Love and Lust : Sexuality in Australia from 1945-2010 By Lisa Featherstone; Rebecca Jennings; Robert Reynolds
2014 | 196 Pages | ISBN: 1443856517 | PDF | 1 MB
The past six decades have seen astonishing changes in the construction of sexuality as an apparatus of knowledge, and as a lived experience. Australia-like much of the West-has undergone a veritable sexual revolution in attitudes and behavior. From early sex therapy to gay marriage, the juggernaut of late modern sexuality has significantly remade Australian social and cultural life. This collection brings together the work of leading historians of sexuality, to consider sixty years of remarkable sexual and social change. Acts of Love and Lust explores the ways both heterosexuality and homosexuality were constructed-by the state, through sex education, in medicine, by the law, political activists, and in the hands of the media. Just as importantly, contributors consider the ways sexuality was experienced, not as a monolithic or imposed institution, but how it was explored and enjoyed by individual bodies across different times and spaces. The authors examine the pleasures and pains of living in sexual bodies, and explore the manifest ways that love and lust shaped Australia's society and culture.

English | 2025 | ISBN: 1071645013 | 374 Pages | PDF (True) | 18 MB
This volume comprehensively covers techniques that use activity-based proteomics to investigate biological functions of proteins such as lipolytic enzymes, serine hydrolases, chitinases, and glycoside hydrolases. The chapters in this book cover a wide range of protocols and an overview on the application of activity-based proteomics profiling to study deISGylating enzymes, serine hydrolases, monooxygenases, ubiquitin E3 ligases, and reactive cysteine in various organisms, including bacteria, viruses, and mammalian cells and tissues. Furthermore, this book provides updated, comprehensive protocols for utilizing activity-based proteomics profiling to discover new enzymes, detect novel modifications, and identify new drug therapy targets. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on trouble3.shooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
