Beyond the Trenches – The Social and Cultural Impact of the Great War
Most likely, this impressive size of the fonds together with the absence of collective or statistical materials (the fonds preserve only appraisal studies of incurred losses) mean that these holdings remain pristine materials, untouched by the hand and unseen by the eye of researchers who prefer to use press materials and general reports3 .

Beyond the Suffering of Being: Desire in Giacomo Leopardi and Samuel Beckett
When Samuel Beckett meditated on desire in works such as Proust, Dream of Fair to Middling Women, and Molloy, he returned often to the lines quoted above from Giacomo Leopardi’s poem “A se stesso.” Just before quoting this poem in Proust, Beckett catalogues Leopardi as one of the sages who proposed the only (im)possible solution to living: the removal of desire

Beyond the state The colonial medical service in British Africa
When my book, Practising Colonial Medicine, on the East African Colonial Medical Service was published in 2007, I was sure that I had captured something of the ethos and experience of the cohort of 424 British government doctors that served in Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika between 1890 and 1939

Beyond the state
There is no fresh news in stating that the history of colonial medicine has changed considerably in the last seventy-five years. As academic interests have expanded, attention has moved away from triumphalist accounts of the conquest of disease in former European colonies to a more critical, less ethno-centric and more socially inclusive examination of the complex relationships between colo…

Australian Wage Policy
This book is a study of the operation of conciliation and arbitration, especially by the Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration, from the inception of the system until World War II. It is not, however, a general history of conciliation and arbitration. It is about ‘wage policy’, if the term is interpreted broadly enough to include both prescribed wages and other factors that aff…
