Meanderings is a compilation of poetry, and short fiction which seldom stays rooted in reality. Be they wizards, dragons, soldiers, women of inspiration, creatures, animals, scoundrels, spirits, or heroes, both mighty, and fallen, all reside here. The poetry ranges from a short verse involving car troubles, to a ten page account of a mighty struggle to save a realm. The short works are much the same, drawing the reader around some unexpected turns, and into places seldom explored. You are invited to step through the portal, and share in this world.

A Veritable Medley of Poetic Meanderings by Sereena Nightshade and Brian Guzzi is a distinct three books/ sections within one compilation of primarily poetry covering a number of topics. The first book in this series entitled Filigree of Sweetness features romantic and relationship based materials. There are no shocking revelations within this portion and yet there are many works regarding longing, desires, wishes, whimsies and wistful fugues. Filigree of Sweetness is followed by a drastic change in scenery with books/sections two and three, which are entitled The Years in the Killing Fields and Outside of the Years of Being stalked.” The material in these segments is highly recommended for both victims of abuse as well as their support persons (i.e. family, friends, romantic partners new on the scene or new on the parameter of the inner- nucleus of the events, and others) who want to understand the external and internal workings or cycles in reactions, survival, conduct and experiences, which would otherwise be entirely foreign. Through these varying compilations A Veritable Medley of Poetic Meanders offers a vivid collection of alluring, enlightening, provocative poetry for every variety of adult connoisseurs of prose, versification or composition. A Veritable Medley of Poetic Meanderings includes the best of previously published poetry from the vast collection of books by Sereena Nightshade, including the exclusive coffee table editions, and a significant serving of new material plus the poetry of Brian Guzzi.

The politics of everyday life is to be found, time and again, in meandering movements, in making connections across and between things in the rough and tumble of the seemingly banal, fragmentary and quotidian experiences that make up our day-to-day existence. The key point of the book, ideally as well as practically, is to realize that there may be something potentially significant, and politically significant, in the very act of making such connections, of understanding the supposedly trite and trivial world of the everyday against a broader political backcloth. There is merit in sifting the fragments, the fragmentary experiences, of everyday life in order to see how they imply a broader political totality in which they are situated and, at times, cleverly made to function. This intuition, broadly inspired by Henri Lefebvre, is reflected in and through the various and varying ways Porter puts to work the ideas and provocations of thinkers such as Raoul Vaneigem, Gilles Deleuze, and Soren Kierkegaard.

The management of diseases of the venous system has evolved rapidly over the last forty years. Much of this development occured since the creation of the Union Internationale de Phlebologie (UIP) in 1959 which has helped to bring together those involved in the management of venous diseases. The Proceedings of the XII World Congress of the UIP will reflect the diversity of disciplines involved (such as phlebologists, dermatologists, surgeons, physiologists and radiologists) as well as new methods of investigation, prevention and the latest research on the topic.

This volume brings together contributions from an experienced group of archaeologists and geologists whose common objective is to present thorough and current reviews of the diverse ways in which methods from the earth sciences can contribute to archaeological research.
