It's a universal truth that a Father holds the key to a daughter's heart. Cathy Nordlund organized her first Father-Daughter Valentine Dance in February 1999 when her daughter, Samantha, was 7 years old. She was inspired by a Focus on the Family radio broadcast on the subject and decided to start a Father-Daughter Valentine dance tradition in her own community. Her vision was "to make the world a better place by giving fathers (and father-figures) an opportunity to positively influence their daughters." Assisted by an inner circle of co-founders and many volunteers, Cathy would go on to organize eleven more dances over an eight year period. Six were "community-based", three were "faith-based", and three were "school-based". Attendance at the dances ranged from 200 to 500 guests, involving daughters from 1 to 18 years old. She shares everything she learned about running a successful Father-Dance Valentine Dance in this well-organized, easy to read guide that is chock-full of insights, good advice, and practical resources. Study after study shows that fathers can set their daughters up for success. A dance provides a fun, natural, and enchanting way to nurture that relationship as she grows up. The goal of the guide is to make it easy for people all over the world to establish their own Father-Daughter Dance tradition. Cathy and her husband live in southern California and have two children..

'The Pigmentary System: Pathophysiology and Physiology' gathers into one volume, a wealth of information about the science of pigmentation and all the common and rare clinical disorders that affect skin colour. The two sections, physiology and pathophysiology, are complimentary and are annotated so that those reading one part can easily refer to relevant sections in the other. For the clinician interested in common or rare pigment disorders or the principles of teaching such disorders, this book provides an immediate and complete resource

The new edition contains six new chapters and has been fully updated. Clinical sections have been revised to update the new molecular and cellular biology; more emphasis has been given to the clinical appearance and treatment of ethnic skin and important new science such as the advances in melanotropins has been added.

Designed as a reference book rather than a textbook, the clinical chapters are organised so that the clinician can find the information he wants by the descriptions of the lesions he sees. The scientific chapters are divided into sections by discipline i.e. biochemisty, physics, cell biology and molecular biology etc..

This book serves as a comprehensive background and update on virtually all clinical aspects of pigmentation. Extensive reviews of rare and unusual syndromes, thorough reviews of therapies available to alter skin colour and numerous photographs make this volume an essential resource for dermatologists at large. Any good scholar interested in skin disorders and any aspect of pigmentation would want this book on his/her shelf..

The best conception of love, Marcus Nordlund contends, and hence the best framework for its literary analysis, must be a fusion of evolutionary, cultural, and historical explanation. It is within just such a biocultural nexus that Nordlund explores Shakespeare's treatment of different forms of love. His approach leads to a valuable new perspective on Shakespearean love and, more broadly, on the interaction between our common humanity and our historical contingency as they are reflected, recast, transformed, or even suppressed in literary works. After addressing critical issues about love, biology, and culture raised by his method, Nordlund considers four specific forms of love in seven of Shakespeare's plays. Examining the vicissitudes of parental love in "Titus Andronicus" and "Coriolanus", he argues that Shakespeare makes a sustained inquiry into the impact of culture and society upon the natural human affections. King Lear offers insight into the conflicted relationship between love and duty. In two problem plays about romantic love, "Troilus and Cressida" and "All's Well that Ends Well", the tension between individual idiosyncrasies and social consensus becomes especially salient. And finally, in "Othello" and "The Winter's Tale", Nordlund asks what Shakespeare can tell us about the dark avatar of jealousy..

Description:
Acceptability of travel demand management (TDM) with the aim of reducing private car use is modeled following a hierarchical set of beliefs. In a two-part model, pro-environmental orientation, problem awareness, personal norm, and willingness to reduce car use are linked to beliefs about to which extent the specific TDM measure is perceived to influence freedom to choose travel mode, own reduction of car use, effectiveness, fairness, and subsequently acceptability. Data were collected through a mail survey in Sweden, and the model was tested in a sample of car users for three TDM measures; improved public transport, an information campaign, and increased tax on fuel. First, the models were tested and modified in a randomly selected sub-sample (N=462), then the modified models were validated in the remaining sub-sample (N=460). We conclude that problem awareness and personal norm, in combination with evaluations of specific TDM measures, are underlying the acceptability of TDM measures. Moral considerations and perceived fairness were important for the acceptability of increased tax on fuel, while freedom aspects and problem awareness were of importance for the acceptability of improved public transport. Because acceptability often is important for the implementation of TDM measures, policy makers may draw on these results when attempting to increase the acceptability of various TDM measures. .
