This monograph presents a survey of the crucial link between state (national) power and finance from the ancient era through the present day. Cicero once said that the true sinew of war was "endless streams of money." His observation remains as accurate today as it was when Rome first began constructing its Empire. Unfortunately, too many historical works leave this crucial underpinning link out of their narratives. Even those that do economic and financial concerns typically miss the fact that the size of a state's economy often has little to do with its capacity to wield influence on the global stage. Much more crucial in this regard is the possession of an administrative system capable of efficiently mobilizing a state's resources. It was such an administrative apparatus that allowed Britain to punch far above its weight in the international arena for centuries. As a survey, this work is far from comprehensive, but the author hopes it will provide a stepping stone for a much-needed in-depth examination of the topic.

Alice Bunker Stockham 1833-1912 was an obstetrician and gynecologist from Chicago, an enthusiastic fighter for a marital and sexual reform. In 1886, her self-publishing company released "Tokology, A Book for Every Woman". This health guide became a bestseller. In 1896, she published Karezza. Ethics of Marriage, an outstanding plea for sexual reform and birth control. Her magnum opus "The Lover's World, A Wheel of Life", published in 1903, is based on her former works comprehending all of her theoretical and practical knowledge as a medical doctor, social reformer, and spiritual thinker. Stockham's opus combines medical, ethical, anthropological, social, philosophical, cross-cultural, mystical, and religious perspectives. It is a key work for understanding the social, political, and intellectual situation in the United States and partially also in Europe about 1900. Her ideas are still very challenging nowadays regarding the crucial relation between sexuality and love, a controversial topic of all time.

We work in a multicultural society and modern healthcare delivery demands that the religious, cultural and ethical beliefs of patients be considered as a part of their treatment. There is therefore an increasing need to understand other cultures. We have attempted to address this need by developing this book to provide members of the dental team with a reference source to culturally sensitive care in everyday clinical practice. This is not a text about technical dentistry. Neither is this book intended to cover the orofacial problems that can affect people of various cultures and lifestyles, although they are mentioned where relevant. This book is about patient care. The knowledge base to be culturally sensitive is enormous. Lists of cultural traits and religious customs and beliefs can help, but inevitably give a very false impression of uniformity. Thus, in making reference to such lists, it is crucial to remember that there is considerable variation within every cultural and religious group and to avoid stereotyping. The information given applies only to certain patients. It is not a recipe for all solutions: we simply provide guidelines as a starting point for individualising dental healthcare. Individuals' views, practices, needs and wishes vary widely and can be influenced by religion, ethnicity, educational, socioeconomic, acculturational and other factors. This book is presented in three sections. The first section covers the many aspects of culturally sensitive healthcare, the second section outlines features of various religions and faiths and the third discusses cultural groups. In the second and third sections, topics have been arranged alphabetically for convenience. We do not attempt to be comprehensive. Cross-referencing has been essential. Although we are based in the United Kingdom, we hope that our efforts will help improve culturally sensitive oral healthcare worldwide.

Electrochemistry is a discipline of wide scientific andtechnological interest. Scientifically, it explores the electricalproperties of materials and especially the interfaces betweendifferent kinds of matter. Technologically, electrochemistrytouches our lives in many ways that few fully appreciate; forexample, materials as diverse as aluminum, nylon, and bleach aremanufactured electrochemically, while the batteries that power allmanner of appliances, vehicles, and devices are the products ofelectrochemical research. Other realms in whichelectrochemical science plays a crucial role include corrosion, thedisinfection of water, neurophysiology, sensors, energy storage,semiconductors, the physics of thunderstorms, biomedical analysis,and so on. This book treats electrochemistry as a science in its own right,albeit resting firmly on foundations provided by chemistry,physics, and mathematics. Early chapters discuss the electrical andchemical properties of materials from which electrochemical cellsare constructed. The behavior of such cells is addressed in laterchapters, with emphasis on the electrodes and the reactions thatoccur on their surfaces. The role of transport to and fromelectrodes is a topic that commands attention, because it cruciallydetermines cell efficiency. Final chapters deal with voltammetry,the methodology used to investigate electrode behavior.Interspersed among the more fundamental chapters are chaptersdevoted to applications of electrochemistry: electrosynthesis,power sources, "green electrochemistry", andcorrosion. Electrochemical Science and Technology is addressed toall who have a need to come to grips with the fundamentals ofelectrochemistry and to learn about some of its applications. Itwill constitute a text for a senior undergraduate or graduatecourse in electrochemistry. It also serves as a source of materialof interest to scientists and technologists in various fieldsthroughout academia, industry, and government - chemists,physicists, engineers, environmentalists, materials scientists,biologists, and those in related endeavors. This book: * Provides a background to electrochemistry, as well as treatingthe topic itself. * Is accessible to all with a foundation in physical science, notsolely to chemists. * Is addressed both to students and those later in theircareers. * Features web links (through www.wiley.com/go/EST) toextensive material that is of a more tangential, specialized, ormathematical nature. * Includes questions as footnotes to support the reader'sevolving comprehension of the material, with fully worked answersprovided on the web. * Provides web access to Excel¯® spreadsheetswhich allow the reader to model electrochemical events. * Has a copious Appendix of relevant data.
