Three health symptom checklists were used to measure physical health concerns among university women in relation to prior child physical maltreatment (CPM) (20%, n = 153) and child sexual abuse (CSA) (19%, n = 143). A history of CPM was related to all three general areas of health concerns as well as to many of the specific subscales comprising the measures (e.g., muscular-skeletal symptoms and gynecological problems), whereas an interaction between CSA and CPM was linked to greater premenstrual distress subscale scores (particularly emotional and behavioral symptoms). Overall, although CSA was not related to health symptoms, within the CSA subgroup, greater duration and severity of CSA was predictive of higher premenstrual distress even after controlling for CPM. This study emphasizes the need for greater awareness of the physical health-related correlates of both physical and sexual maltreatment in childhood and their associated implications for women's health care needs.

This book presents a radical reinterpretation of the great medieval thinker, Marsilius of Padua. George Garnett's iconoclastic re-reading of Marsilius's work - based on a careful attention to the texts - overturns the widely accepted view of him as a secular political theorist and proponent of republicanism, and re-establishes him in his proper historical context.

George Orwell is most widely known as the teller of dystopian tales
of oppression. A closer look at his oeuvre reveals a courageous truth
seeker who frequently lived and worked with his literary subjects. In
his fieldwork he used the methods of classic ethnography including
participant observation, semi-structured interviews and field notes.
This article argues that Orwell was an ethnographer in his research
methods and that both Down and Out in Paris and London and The Road
to Wigan Pier are ethnographic texts with valuable insights into marginal
groups in the early to mid-twentieth century in Europe. The
writer's clear-sighted and humane depiction of 'otherness' shows his
skill as an ethnographer. His personal investment with his subject
matter, reflexivity and attention to broader social and political phenomena
in his narratives mark Orwell as an autoethnographer.

This book tells the story of the case of George Gwaze, twice charged and twice acquitted of the rape and murder of his ten-year-old adopted niece, Charlene Makaza. When Charlene is found unconscious one morning, gasping for breath, with a high fever and lying in a pool of diarrhoea, her family rush her to the Christchurch 24-hour clinic. She is treated for overwhelming sepsis and transferred to hospital. Sadly her life cannot be saved and at 1.00am she dies. During the course of Charlene's short illness the diagnosis shifts from infection to sexual assault and homicide, and her grieving family find themselves publicly engulfed in a criminal investigation. What unfolds next is a surreal set of events so improbable that they seem fictitious. Murder that Wasn't meticulously explores the facts surrounding this case, based on scientific, medical and court records and individual interviews, to tell this family's extraordinary story
