The age of the democratic revolution
For the Western world, the period from 1760 to 1800 was the great revolutionary era in which the outlines of the modern democratic state came into being. Here for the first time in one volume is R. R. Palmer's magisterial account of this incendiary age. Palmer argues that the American, French, and Polish revolutions-and the movements for political change in Britain, Ireland, Holland, and elsewhere-were manifestations of similar political ideas, needs, and conflicts. Palmer traces the clash between an older form of society, marked by legalized social rank and hereditary or self-perpetuating elites, and a new form of society that placed a greater value on social mobility and legal equality.
Featuring a new foreword by David Armitage, this Princeton Classics edition ofThe Age of the Democratic Revolutionintroduces a new generation of readers to this enduring work of political history.

The 5 money conversations to have with your kids at every age and stage
\"To teach a child about money, you must first know his or her Money Personality. Your Money Relationship with your kids has nothing to do with how much you spend on them. It has nothing to do with how much you've saved for college or the allowance you give. It has nothing to do with how much debt you have or how much you've invested. Those are your financial arrangements, and this book is not going to spend much time discussing those.Instead, it's going to dig into what really makes or breaks a family in any area: relationships. After all, you can have a great budget, a healthy college fund, a great system for doling out allowances, but if you are constantly bickering with your kids about their spending, missing out on making memories now in order to fund their futures, well, you've hit the wrong target. You might have a solid financial future, but you'll have a family that can barely be in a room together without fighting.That's why this book is going to focus on the Money, Personality, relationship between you and your kids. Is your child a Spender? What does this mean for him at age 5? 12? 18? Or perhaps she is a Saver, Risk Taker, or even a Flyer? Will the same money conversations work with each different personality? Of course not. And understanding how to navigate these different personalities will be the best advice you've ever received on training up your children in the way they should go\"-- Provided by publisher.
Book
Arctic offshore engineering
There is an increasing need to construct engineering structures in the Arctic seas. The requirement is principally generated by the oil and gas industry, because of the substantial reserves that are known to exist offshore in the Beaufort Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Barents Sea, the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Sakhalin, the Canadian Arctic, and almost certainly elsewhere. Structures have to withstand the severe environmental forces generated by sea ice, a subject that is developing rapidly but is still far from completely understood. Underwater pipelines have to be safe against ice gouging and strudel scour, but also have to be constructed safely and economically. The social and human environment has to be understood and respected.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter protein-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists for type 2 diabetes: systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
This paper by Palmer and colleagues (BMJ 2021;372:m4573, doi:10.1136/bmj.m4573, published 13 January 2021) has been corrected to account for an error in the data for all cause death extracted from the DECLARE-TIMI-58 trial. When the correct data for the DECLARE-TIMI-58 trial are used, the network estimated odds ratio for all cause death for a sodium-glucose cotransporter protein-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor compared to placebo is 0.85 (95% confidence interval 0.79 to 0.92). The corrected network estimate for the odds of all cause mortality with an SGLT-2 inhibitor versus a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist is 0.95 (95% confidence interval 0.86 to 1.06). A data entry error occurred that was not identified by double checking.

Liquid biopsies: the future of cancer early detection
Cancer is a worldwide pandemic. The burden it imposes grows steadily on a global scale causing emotional, physical, and financial strains on individuals, families, and health care systems. Despite being the second leading cause of death worldwide, many cancers do not have screening programs and many people with a high risk of developing cancer fail to follow the advised medical screening regime due to the nature of the available screening tests and other challenges with compliance. Moreover, many liquid biopsy strategies being developed for early detection of cancer lack the sensitivity required to detect early-stage cancers. Early detection is key for improved quality of life, survival, and to reduce the financial burden of cancer treatments which are greater at later stage detection. This review examines the current liquid biopsy market, focusing in particular on the strengths and drawbacks of techniques in achieving early cancer detection. We explore the clinical utility of liquid biopsy technologies for the earlier detection of solid cancers, with a focus on how a combination of various spectroscopic and -omic methodologies may pave the way for more efficient cancer diagnostics.
