Editor Joseph P. Byrne, together with an advisory board of specialists and over 100 scholars, research scientists, and medical practitioners from 13 countries, has produced a uniquely interdisciplinary treatment of the ways in which diseases pestilence, and plagues have affected human life. From the Athenian flu pandemic to the Black Death to AIDS, this extensive two-volume set offers a sociocultural, historical, and medical look at infectious diseases and their place in human history from Neolithic times to the present. Nearly 300 entries cover individual diseases (such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, Ebola, and SARS); major epidemics (such as the Black Death, 16th-century syphilis, cholera in the nineteenth century, and the Spanish Flu of 1918-19); environmental factors (such as ecology, travel, poverty, wealth, slavery, and war); and historical and cultural effects of disease (such as the relationship of Romanticism to Tuberculosis, the closing of London theaters during plague epidemics, and the effect of venereal disease on social reform). Primary source sidebars, over 70 illustrations, a glossary, and an extensive print and nonprint bibliography round out the work.

Violet's travails as the Warlord's concubine continues. New management in the seraglio bodes ill for the English whore. Has the warlord tired of Tatiana, her Russian lover? Will she and Violet soon face separation, never to meet again in this life? The warlord has his problems too. He returns to the fortress from his pilgrimage, dreading his confrontation with the concubine who so bedevils his heart. She must be punished for her unfaithfulness. But, when he has had her whipped, will she then give herself to him, or will she choose death before obedience? The seraglio needs new blood and the beautiful, 20 year old daughter of American missionaries seems to fit the bill. The Nanking government is increasing its pressure for him to submit to its suzerainty. The British Consul has sent a note demanding to know if a Violet Harris is being held by him against her will. And then there are his troops. In a confrontation with the Kuomintang, will they fight? This novel contains scenes of nonconsensual sex and violence.

"This Report was commissioned by the Australian Association for the Advancement of Pacific Studies (AAAPS) at its first Annual General Meeting in January 2006. A workshop in Canberra in 2004 and the subsequent first conference of the Association in Brisbane in January 2006 identified a malaise in Australia in teaching and research on the Pacific and called for a program to revive and enhance the excellence in teaching and research that had once marked Australia as the leader in the field. AAAPS also acknowledged the increasing concern in Australia about security, good governance, stability and development in the neighbouring region, which includes two territories formerly under Australian colonial control - Nauru and Papua New Guinea. The need for a review of teaching and research grew from the sense of falling behind felt among the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences in universities, but equally among archives, libraries, galleries and museums." --Preface.
