Book Description
The promotion of night-time economies in town centres across Britain has sparked new fears about disorder, violence and binge-drinking. However, there has been little consideration of the social and cultural benefits of a diverse urban nightlife. This timely work examines the processes that have led to a mainstreaming of subcultural expression at night, and the impact of legislation aimed at providing the police and councils with new powers to manage and contain the ’social problem’ of contemporary nightlife. Based on an ethnographic study of a London locality, the book examines the unwitting consequences of local decision-making, and the contradictory struggles that ensued. Utilizing the concept of the 'outsider area' as a space that stands outside of conventional norms, and where cultural innovation and transgression can occur, it explores the social consequences of losing contact with the 'other'.

Book Description
In this book, Hae explores how nightlife in NYC, long associated with various subcultures of social dancing, has been recently transformed as the city has undergone gentrification, and how this transformation has dampened urban inhabitants' rights to the uses of urban space and access to diverse urban cultures.

Book Description
Nightlife is a place of both real and imagined risk, a ‘frontier’ (Melbin 1978) where apparent freedom and transgression are closely linked, and where regulation of leisure and collective intoxication has been diffused throughout an expanding network of state and private actors. This book explores Sydney’s contemporary night-time economy as the product of an intersection of both local and global transformations, as policing comes to incorporate more and more ‘private’ personnel empowered to regulate ‘public’ drinking and nightlife. Policing Nightlife focuses on the historical and social conditions, cultural meanings and regulatory controls that have shaped both public and private forms of policing and security in contemporary urban nightlife. In so doing, it reflects more broadly on global changes in the nature of contemporary policing and how aspects of neoliberalism and the ideal of the ‘24-hour city’ have shaped policing, security and night-time leisure. Based on a decade of research and interviews with both police and doorstaff working in nightlife settings, it explores the effectiveness of policies governing policing and private security in the night-time economy in the context of media, political and public debates about regulation, and the gendered and highly masculine aspects of much of this work. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, policing, sociology and those interested in understanding the debates surrounding security, policing and contemporary urban nightlife.

Book Description
"This authoritative handbook reviews the breadth of current knowledge on the conscious and nonconscious processes by which people regulate their thoughts, emotions, attention, behavior, and impulses. Individual differences in self-regulatory capacities are explored, as are developmental pathways. The volume examines how self-regulation shapes, and is shaped by, social relationships. Failures of self-regulation are also addressed, in chapters on addictions, overeating, compulsive spending, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Wherever possible, contributors identify implications of the research for helping people enhance their self-regulatory capacities and pursue desired goals"...

Book Description
This volume contains the contributions to a course entitled "Sleep and its Pathology", which was organized by the Advanced School of the Italian Neuro science Society at the "Alessandro Volta" Center of Scientific Culture (Villa Olmo, Como, Italy, May 9-10,1996). The course was aimed at informing the medical audience about recent deve lopments in the field with particular regard to the work of the sleep laboratories of the University of Bologna. The first part of this book presents experimental results dealing with the bio chemical specificity of hypothalamic sleep mechanisms, cerebral metabolism during sleep and the sleep-dependent systemic cardiovascular adjustments in relation to blood perfusion and thermal homeostasis of the brain. The second part covers pathophysiological aspects of human sleep, namely the circadian rhythm of body core temperature in neurodegenerative diseases, the descriptive epidemiology of excessive daytime sleepiness, the disorders of breathing and motor control in sleep and the syndrome of nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy. The Editors hope that the book may be useful not only to specifically interested rea ders, but also to general practitioners. The Editors wish to express special thanks to Professor Eugenio E. Muller for his suggestion to collect the lectures in book-form. The Editors thank the authors for their contributions to the course and to this publication and express their appreciation to Springer-Verlag for helping make this monography possible.

Book Description
This volume provides the first major overview, by eminent authorities on the subject, of recent developments in the field of endogenous substances and their regulation of sleep processes. The first two sections discuss general aspects of sleep regulation; including an historical overview, the restorative and adaptive functions of sleep, and evolutionary features. The third section contains contributions focussing on circadian rhythms in relation to humoral factors, hormones, neurotransmitters and metabolism. The sleep substances currently receiving most attention --- delta-sleep-inducing-peptide (DSIP), muramyl peptides, interleukin-1, sleep-promoting substance (SPS) and prostaglandin D2 --- are extensively discussed. Substances that may selectively modulate REM sleep are dealt with in the final section.

Book Description
Mind control yoga cures many problems in life. It is straightforward to do, to enjoy short- and long-term benefits and natural spirituality. It is all laid out in the book including amusing humanistic and touching stories. Book Reviews "At a time when the constant noise and haste of everyday life sends many in search of stillness and wellbeing, it may be surprising to find an approach to yoga written by a busy scientist. Here is a unique contribution to our scientific understanding of how yoga works on the mind and body. Mind Control Through Breath Regulation can be used at many levels. Students and practitioners will find a delightfully illustrated guide to yoga exercises, and general hints on living healthily. Experienced practitioners can further their understanding and ways of developing the disciplined use of the breath. Those interested in science will find a fascinating study of the way neurones, electrical impulses and quantum energy are utilised in yoga practice to achieve high physical and mental potential. As an engineer who has practised yoga for over forty years, Nguyen Tran has broken new ground by using quantum physics to explain the bodys response to yoga. When Nguyen asked me to look at his work-in-progress, I offered to question, clarify, and help shape the expression of his ideas. Over time I have enjoyed the unfolding of his scientific approach to Yoga. His passion as a scientist and yoga practitioner, his story-telling, and his creative illustrations offer a unique contribution to curious practitioners and teachers of Yoga. - Christine Ingleton BA, DipEd, BEd, MEd" "The book Mind Control through Breath Regulation contains amusing humanistic and touching stories and a new powerful form of yoga, which makes reading enjoyable and compelling . Echoing harmoniously through the Kundalini universe with quantum resonance, Dr Nguyen Trans mind control yoga techniques were fashioned out of very difficult, if not dire, life circumstances. His technique is proof positive of the benefits of mind control yoga as a mind-spirit healing process. Tran does not lay claim to insupportable facts, rather, his readers will judge for themselves how effective his methods are. Offering a wealth of related benefits, this is a health guide tailor-fit for todays every man, woman, boy and girl." - Trafford Editorial Staff
