In the first detailed examination of Britain's transition to paper currency, Hiroki Shin explores how state, nation and community each played their respective role in its introduction. By examining archival materials and personal accounts, Shin's work sheds fresh light on societal, institutional, communal and individual responses to the transformation. The dominance of communal currency during the Bank Restriction period (1797-1821) demonstrates how paper currency derived its value from the community of users rather than the state or the intrinsic value of precious metal. Shin traces the expanded use of the Bank of England note - both geographically and socially - in this period, revealing the economic and social factors that accelerated this shift and the cultural manifestations of the paper-based monetary regime, from everyday politics to bank-note forgeries. This book serves as an essential resource for those interested in understanding the modern monetary system's historical origins.
This essential, concept-oriented book provides a highly integrative and translational approach to addiction, offering a deep understanding of the condition and its close biological-causal-developmental linkage with mental illness. The book explains addiction around five fundamental components that define disease: 1) Population Impact; 2) Symptom Sets; 3) Disorder of Anatomical Structure and Function; 4) Biological Risk Amplification; and 5) Diagnosis and Treatment. Key evidence and concepts from basic neuroscience are translated to epidemiological, clinical-observational, and treatment levels. The book discusses the broad reach and potent clinical capabilities of addiction psychiatry teams using integrative diagnostics and multi-dimensional treatment plans for patients across the entire addiction-mental illness spectrum. It introduces science-based psychotherapies, therapeutic experiences, medication and neurostimulatory treatments used by addiction psychiatrists in different settings to advance patients through all stages of recovery. An illustrated foundation for advanced undergraduates, physicians, allied clinicians, and scientists entering brain-behavioural health fields.
