• Sommario/riassunto: María de San José Salazar (1548-1603) took the veil as a Discalced ("barefoot") Carmelite nun in 1571, becoming one of Teresa of Avila's most important collaborators in religious reform and serving as prioress of the Seville and Lisbon convents. Within the parameters of the strict Catholic Reformation in Spain, María fiercely defended women's rights to define their own spiritual experience and to teach, inspire, and lead other women in reforming their church. María wrote this book as a defense of the Discalced practice of setting aside two hours each day for conversation, music, and staging of religious plays. Casting the book in the form of a dialogue, María demonstrates through fictional conversations among a group of nuns during their hours of recreation how women could serve as very effective spiritual teachers for each other. The book includes one of the first biographical ; portraits of Teresa and Maria's personal account of the troubled founding of the Discalced convent at Seville, as well as her tribulations as an Inquisitional suspect. Rich in allusions to women's affective relationships in the early modern convent, Book for the Hour of Recreation also serves as an example of how a woman might write when relatively free of clerical censorship and expectations. A detailed introduction and notes by Alison Weber provide historical and biographical context for Amanda Powell's fluid translation.

• Sommario/riassunto: At the beginning of the new millennium, it is opportune to review what has been accomplished in the field of infectious diseases during the last decades of the previous century. The paradigm of the immunocompromised host gene has taught much about the pathophysiology of infectious diseases, particularly with regard to immunological aspects of host defense. In the beginning, Robert Good called immunodeficiency syndromes “experiments of nature. ” In the 1960's and subsequent decades, the clinical and immunological aspects of immune deficiencies were studied and adequate treatment attempted. A reflection of these developments were the three successful meetings on these topics in Veldhoven, The Netherlands (1980), Stirling, Scotland. Since then, the IIHS has organized meetings every two years...
