In the century between the accession of Elizabeth I and the restoration of Charles II, a horticultural revolution took place in England, making it a leading player in the European horticultural game. Ideas were exchanged across networks of gardeners, botanists, scholars, and courtiers, and the burgeoning vernacular book trade spread this new knowledge still further-reaching even the growing number of gardeners furnishing their more modest plots across the verdant nation and its young colonies in the Americas.Margaret Willes introduces a plethora of garden enthusiasts, from the renowned to the legions of anonymous workers who created and tended the great estates. Packed with illustrations from the herbals, design treatises, and practical manuals that inspired these men-and occasionally women-Willes's book enthrallingly charts how England's garden grew.

References to the economy are ubiquitous in modern life, and virtually every facet of human activity has capitulated to market mechanisms. In the early modern period, however, there was no common perception of the economy, and discourses on money, trade, and commerce treated economic phenomena as properties of physical nature. Only in the early nineteenth century did economists begin to posit and identify the economy as a distinct object, divorcing it from natural processes and attaching it exclusively to human laws and agency. In The Natural Origins of Economics, Margaret Schabas traces the emergence and transformation of economics in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries from a natural to a social science. Focusing on the works of several prominent economists-David Hume, Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill-Schabas examines their conceptual debt to natural science and thus locates the evolution of economic ideas within the history of science. An ambitious study, The Natural Origins of Economics will be of interest to economists, historians, and philosophers alike.

L’explosion scientifique des XVIe et XVIIe siècles, qui est à l’origine de la science moderne, a profondément marqué la culture et les esprits de l’époque, notamment en Angleterre où elle constitue une importante source d’inspiration poétique. La période 1600-1660, de Shakespeare à Milton, voit fleurir les métaphores scientifiques, forgées à partir des représentations mentales des savants. Ces derniers recourent en effet à l’analogie pour se figurer la puissance de l’aimant, la nature de la lumière ou l’organisation du cosmos. Chez John Donne ou Henry Vaughan, par exemple, les représentations de la passion amoureuse, de la quête de Dieu, de l’attente de la mort, s’alimentent aux théories élaborées par Copernic, Gilbert, Kepler ou Paracelse. L’ouvrage nous invite à un voyage au cœur du « concert », métaphore audacieuse, extravagante ou subtile des poètes « métaphysiques » anglais. Il éclaire une poésie complexe où se manifeste une connaissance intime des sciences qui sondent les secrets du microcosme et du macrocosme. Margaret Llasera croise étude des sciences et critique littéraire : chaque chapitre retrace l’histoire de l’une des sciences retenues – le magnétisme, l’optique, l’astronomie, la météorologie, l’alchimie et la médecine – et analyse les figures poétiques qu’elle a suscitées. C’est tout l’imaginaire d’une époque où se confondaient encore les « deux cultures » qui est ainsi restitué.

The publication of this third edition of the definitive text on clinical forensic medicine comes at an exciting time for a subject now gaining recognition as a speciality in the medical establishment. This growing acknowledgement reflects the fact that increasing numbers of health professionals are becoming engaged in general forensic services. Nurses and paramedics are more involved than ever in custody care, while nurses themselves are conducting more examinations in cases involving alleged sexual offences. Thus it is vital that those caring for this vulnerable group of patients (whether detainees or complainants) have the tools to master this specialist set of skills.   All the chapters in this new edition have been fully updated, with some undergoing extensive revision. Recent developments in child protection protocols have prompted a major rewrite of the chapter on non-accidental injury, and the text now includes a specific chapter on the use of the TASER. Other aspects of restraint are now dealt with separately. The material on care of detainees and fitness for interview has been split into individual chapters to allow a more comprehensive discussion of the issues. In addition, new authors have joined the team of contributors, facilitating a wider range of international perspectives. From its chapters on the history and core principles of clinical forensic medicine, right up to the text’s discussion of substance misuse and deaths in custody, this volume remains the gold standard source for health professionals whose working lives bring them into contact with those in the law enforcement arena.
