In this essay I argue that alchemy, a quintessential noble activity, was employed at the court of two Habsburg emperors as a discourse of mediation.

You may not always be conscious of growth happening to you, except perhaps when you take stock and look back at how you were. In terms of the dimensions of self presented in Chapter 2, you are aware that you think differently, see things differently, feel differently, act differently.

Decontamination must take place before the patient leaves the hot and warm zones and therefore is best performed at the border of the inner cordon upwind of the threat and in close proximity to the treatment facility. It should only be carried out by trained personnel wear-ing appropriate PPE. Ambulatory casualties should be directed to self-decontamination facilities, initially with dry decontamination by removal of all clothing, which should be disposed of appropriately. If specialised decontamination imits are initially imavailable, improvised methods may be utilised as outlined in Box 5.5. However, no attempt should be made to carry this out imtil appropriate PPE is available. Contaminated casualties may self-present to local hospitals and will require decontamination outside emergency departments.
