While a great deal of historical research has uncovered the impact of many other regions on southern Italy that of Iberia has often been overlooked, at least before the famous Sicilian Vespers. Yet, both regions had notable commonalities and a variety of connections throughout the central middle ages. South Italian rulers demonstrated an enduring interest in the western Mediterranean (particularly in the Balearic Islands) and the security of its seas. King Roger II, William I and Frederick II all married Iberian princesses, each of whom played an important role in south Italian politics. These marriages maintained lines of communication between both regions and brought other Iberians to southern Italy. There is also evidence of contact through the development of scholarly courts and the emergence of centres of learning and translation in southern Italy and Iberia. Underpinning all of these relationships was the Mediterranean itself, which allowed for ease of movement, and on which thriving commercial activity connected the two regions. Finally, faith and pilgrimage offered another outlet for south Italians and Iberians of all denominations to interact with one another.<br/><br/>Description: Oldfield, P.

Drawing on charters, chronicles, annals and other sources, Paul Oldfield uncovers notable continuities in a range of cities across southern Italy throughout a period of regime change and disruption. Unlike traditional interpretations which suggest that the Normans, and the creation of a monarchy in 1130, stifled urban development, this book suggests that south Italian urban communities were still able to enjoy a level of autonomy under the Norman monarchy. By emphasising the fluidity of the social structures and groups found in these cities, alongside the influential role of both the Church and civic consciousness, the author sheds new light on the multi-layered complexity of the urban communities of Norman Italy and provides a more balanced comparison with the cities of northern Italy. http://hdl.handle.net/2173/91934 Title: Rape kit<br/><br/>Authors: Jones, Helen<br/><br/>Abstract: In 465 alphabetically arranged essays ranging in length from 500 to 3,000 words, Forensic Science approaches its subject from multiple directions. One of the primary approaches is from the points of view of forensic investigators. In addition to its core essays on subspecialties and allied fields, including those listed above, the set has essays on specific types of investigations, such as arson, child abduction and kidnapping, homicide, and computer crime; both general and specific investigative techniques, such as autopsies, ballistics, chromatography, crime scene documentation, fingerprint analysis, and polygraph analysis; specialized equipment, such as bomb and nuclear detection devices; and types of evidence, such as fire debris, fibers and filaments, glass, and blood residue and stains. Other essays cover both general and specific aspects of chemical and biological agents, such as biotoxins, carbon monoxide, illicit drugs, and a variety of poisons. Additional essays examine specific types of injuries, diseases, and other medical conditions, such as gunshot and knife wounds, electrical injuries, bubonic plague, hemorrhagic fevers and diseases, and smallpox. Attention is also given to the many professional organizations in forensic science fields, such as the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, the International Association for Indentification, and the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors. http://hdl.handle.net/2173/91933 Title: Rape crisis: responding to sexual violence<br/><br/>Authors: Jones, Helen; Cook, Kate<br/><br/>Abstract: Rape Crisis centres have provided the most effective and valued source of support for survivors of rape in Britain ever since the centres were developed as part of the women’s movement of the 1970s. Yet now, at the same time as Britain is failing survivors of rape in the courts, there is also a threat to the work delivered through the centres.For anyone who wants to understand how we reached this point of crisis, or who wants to be able to respond, this book helpfully provides:# an understanding of the strengths that these centres can add to how we respond to rape in our society# an explanation of the knowledge, ideas and skills that comprise the centres’ unique model of support# an account of the rape crisis movement s struggles in starting and sustaining the centres.# a permanent record of the philosophies and ideas that underpinned the founding of the original centres, and a history of how they have changed and evolved over 30 years.Too few people know about the centres or how they are run. This book documents the work and story of Rape Crisis in England and Wales, drawing comparisons with similar centres and networks in Scotland and Ireland. It provides the reader, whether an interested individual, a student or academic, a professional or voluntary worker, with a flavour of the original Rape Crisis work, and assesses its actual and potential value, here and now.Practical ideas for ways forward, which often mean learning the tools of survival during the current times of change, are presented, and can help ensure that there will be Rape Crisis centres for as long as there are women who need the specialist support that they offer. http://hdl.handle.net/2173/91900 Title: Competent communicators: explaining an international communication exchange<br/><br/>Authors: Jones, Helen<br/><br/>Abstract: In times of profound social change, we need to find ways of managing the learning process. The case study discussed in this paper provides one example of a social and interactive form of learning. Prioritising pedagogical values of collaboration and communication, the model described provides for an international exchange of ideas, resources and viewpoints based on constructivist learning theory. From a small-scale project to one that now supports students from seven universities in the UK and the USA, this example shows how a simple idea can become an enjoyable and productive learning experience for students and staff alike.<br/><br/>Description: Full-text of this article is not available in this e-prints service.
