Clinical Ethics

A Graphic Medicine Casebook

Kimberly R. Myers, Molly L. Osborne, Charlotte A. Wu, and Illustrations by Zoe Schein

“Clinical Ethics offers an engaging introduction to an array of ethical questions prominently featured in medical ethics classrooms. Graphic scenarios provide individual cases or situations—many based on clinical experience—that highlight the four principles of medical ethics. The scenarios speak to one another, enhancing students’ inquiry and understanding of the challenges of ethics, which raises questions rather than providing answers.”—Ellen Feder, author of Family Bonds: Genealogies of Race and Gender

Iconography Beyond the Crossroads

Image, Meaning, and Method in Medieval Art

Edited by Pamela A. Patton and Catherine A. Fernandez

“Iconography Beyond the Crossroads is a very useful contribution to current scholarship and a distinguished follower in the line of excellent volumes produced by Index conferences of the past. This volume, with its coherent methodological emphasis, is an especially worthy successor to its important predecessor, Iconography at the Crossroads.”—William Diebold, author of Word and Image: An Introduction to Early Medieval Art

Destroyed—Disappeared—Lost—Never Were

Edited by Beate Fricke and Aden Kumler

“Destroyed—Disappeared—Lost—Never Were makes a fresh contribution to the field, one that dexterously balances historical perspectives and theoretical awareness. Its short essays cover a variety of topics with a global reach but with a common concern: how the ‘existential uncertainty’ resulting from works that are no longer extant or may never have existed outside verbal evocations has shaped and continues to shape the practice of art history.”—Brigitte Buettner, author of Boccaccio’s “Des cleres et nobles femmes”: Systems of Signification in an Illuminated Manuscript

A Vivifying Spirit

Quaker Practice and Reform in Antebellum America

Janet Moore Lindman

American Quakerism changed dramatically in the antebellum era owing to both internal and external forces, including schism, industrialization, western migration, and reform activism. With the “Great Separation” of the 1820s and subsequent divisions during the 1840s and 1850s, new Quaker sects emerged. Some maintained the quietism of the previous era; others became more austere; still others were heavily influenced by American evangelicalism and integration into modern culture.

From the Nile to the Tigris

African Individuals and Groups in Texts from the Neo-Assyrian Empire

Mattias Karlsson

Egypt and Mesopotamia, two cradles of civilization, repeatedly came into contact with each other in antiquity. Interaction between Africa and Mesopotamia was particularly close and frequent in the period when the Neo-Assyrian Empire controlled Egypt and confronted the kings of Kush. This book seeks to identify Africans—namely, Egyptians, Kushites, and Libyans—in Neo-Assyrian texts from this period, discussing the presence of Africans in the Neo-Assyrian Empire at both individual/biographic and collective/demographic levels and exploring such concepts as ethnicity, multiculturalism, integration, and assimilation.
