Sommario/riassunto

The field of pain research is rapidly expanding in both human and veterinary medicine, and has helped increase our understanding of acupuncture. However, many are still highly sceptical about the use of



acupuncture and prefer for it to remain far from orthodox veterinary practice.This book seeks to challenge common misgivings by showing how veterinary acupuncture works (for small and large animals), and why it should be established as an orthodox form of treatment.Written from a Western approach, rather than a traditional Chinese Medicine approach, it explains the background an

Sommario/riassunto

Each summer between 1790 and 1860, hundreds and eventually thousands of southern men and women left the diseases and boredom of their plantation homes and journeyed to the healthful and entertaining Virginia Springs. While some came in search of a cure,



most traveled over the mountains to enjoy the fashionable society and participate in an array of social activities. At the springs, visitors, as well as their slaves, interacted with one another and engaged in behavior quite different from the picture presented by most historians. In the leisurely and pleasure-filled environment of the springs, plantation society's hierarchies became at once more relaxed and more contested; its rituals and rules sometimes changed and reformed; and its gender divisions often softened and blurred. In Ladies and Gentlemen on Display, Charlene Boyer Lewis argues that the Virginia Springs provided a theater of sorts, where contests for power between men and women, fashionables and evangelicals, blacks and whites, old and young, and even northerners and southerners played out away from the traditional roles of the plantation. In their pursuit of health and pleasure, white southerners created a truly regional community at the springs. At this edge of the South, elite southern society shaped itself, defining what it meant to be a "Southerner" and redefining social roles and relations."

Sommario/riassunto

La pedagogia sociale si occupa dello studio dei processi, dei sistemi formativi, delle emergenze educative in funzione dello sviluppo sociale. Inquadrando la disciplina nel contesto del più generale dibattito sull’



identità del sapere pedagogico in relazione agli altri saperi dell’educazione, il volume ne presenta gli oggetti di ricerca, le prospettive di indagine, i metodi e ne delinea un profilo dinamico, ancora per molti aspetti in corso di definizione. (Fonte: editore)
