This very well-received book, now in its third edition, equips the radiologist with the information needed in order to diagnose internal medicine disorders and their complications from the radiological perspective. It offers an easy-to-consult tool that documents the most common and most important radiological signs of a wide range of diseases, across diverse specialties, with the aid of an excellent gallery of images and illustrations. Compared with the second edition, new updates have been added, including three new chapters that cover autonomic medicine, psychosomatic medicine, and forensic medicine. Internal Medicine – An Illustrated Radiological Guide puts the radiologist in the internal medicine physician’s shoes. It teaches radiologists how to think in terms of disease progression and complications, explains where to look for and to image these complications, and identifies the best modalities for reaching a diagnosis. It will also benefit internal medicine physicians by clarifying the help that radiology can offer them and assisting in the choice of investigation for diagnostic confirmation.
Tumor Diagnosis - Practical approach and pattern analysis, Second edition, has been thoroughly revised to provide the most up-to-date information for all pathologists, histopathologists and trainee pathologists working in the diagnosis of tumors and tumor-like conditions. Following the success of its predecessor, this will once again prove the most valuable bench guide available. Every subject has been reconsidered and refined. The original parts have been retained: the first giving details of the patterns to be found, and what they indicate; the second categorizing tumors under organ systems rather than listing them all together and designed to be referred to during practical laboratory work.
Set primarily in 1983 in rural Mississippi, this historical novel is about a white 17-year-old boy, Aeamon Lee Mistral, and his African-American friend, Jo-Nathan Markum, who are brash, daring, and determined.

After a summer of adventure in Memphis and a trip down the Mississippi River on a riverboat, their indomitable spirit causes them to make bold decisions about their future in an uncertain and competitive world. They are encouraged by an equally strong, and mysterious woman who befriends them. To increase their life chances, one attempts to make the football team at the University of Mississippi, and the other joins the United States Marine Corps. Dealing with both triumph and tragedy is their ongoing challenge.
The volumes in the Birds of Ontario series summarize life history requirements of bird species that are normally part of the ecology of Ontario. This is the second volume in the series and completes the treatment of the nonpasserine bird species occurring in Ontario on a regular basis. Information on habitat, limiting factors, and status is summarized for 83 species in this volume. These topics are covered for the three primary avian seasons: breeding, migration, and winter. Habitat, nest sites, territoriality, site fidelity, annual reproductive effort, habitat loss and degradation, environmental contaminants, and a variety of other topics are covered in the species accounts. Maps depicting breeding and wintering range are presented for most species along with drawings by Ross James. Birds of Ontario is an essential reference source for wildlife biologists, environmental consultants, and planners preparing or reviewing environmental impact statements and environmental assessments. Serious birders will find the volumes of interest as well. Although the books focus on Ontario birds, the information is highly relevant to adjacent provinces and states.

Replete with romance, political intrigue, and history, The Furious Pharisee follows the development of Saul from a young student of the Torah and the Jewish religion to a vehement opposer of the disciples of Jesus. Al Dublanko draws on historical fact while creating well developed personas of characters only hinted at in the biblical account of the early church in the book of Acts. Through vivid detail and compelling dialogue, he brings these characters and the events of the Apostolic Age to life for his readers. A year after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, His disciples are preaching the gospel and attracting the attention of the Jewish people, from the poor to the religious elite. A passionate defender of the Mosaic Law, the Pharisee Saul becomes increasingly incensed at the influence of these followers of “the Way,” and he is determined to remove their voice from the public square. When the disciple Stephen claims that Jesus is God, Saul gives his full approval to the violent execution of the peaceful man. At the end of the novel, as Saul makes his way to Damascus, he is confronted with a blinding light and a voice from heaven that shakes him to his core. Humbled by the very One he is persecuting, Saul’s life will be forever changed. Readers will anxiously await the next installment of this riveting historical fiction.

This book is the culmination of nearly three years of work that we have done. We had never expected it would take anything like as long, but we have discovered vastly more than we ever thought possible, and in fact what we have done now touches almost every existing area of physiotherapy special tests and its outcome measures, and quite a bit besides. We have tried to give a fairly complete coverage of the field describing the most common term physiotherapy special tests and its outcome measures known to us to be employed by physical therapists. In the initial chapters we have tried to explain in details various special tests and outcome measures because we feel that thorough understanding of these tests will ultimately lead to safer and more effective clinical practice. Therefore, the book builds up from basics to give a description of types of tests along with the rehabilitation methods and their outcome measure available to the physical therapist. Each outcome measure is explained with reasonably comprehensive range of references to support them. With the very welcome involvement of physical therapist in research, we hope to give them access to the vast amount of literature upon which they are encourage to base their final clinical intervention. In the early years, we did as we had done before as a researcher, and published accounts of our ongoing work in the scientific literature. But although what we wrote seemed to be very well received, we gradually came to realize that technical papers scattered across the journals of all sorts of fields could never successfully communicate the kind of major new intellectual structure that we seemed to be beginning to build. So, we resolved just to keep working quietly until we had finished, and was ready to present everything in a single coherent way. Three years later this book is the result. However, our sincere hope is that we have made physiotherapy special tests and its outcome measures and their outcome measure used in their rehabilitation, more comprehensible, which will, in turn, will raise the standers of safe and effective rehabilitation for our patients-the aim of us all.

In this book, the author highlights what has happened to Mankind since the Fall of Adam. What does the Lord require of us, as we worship Him in spirit and in truth? It is the Lord's Church, not ours, and we belong to Him: He does not belong to us. Remember Moses struck the rock and said, "Must we fetch you water out of this rock?" This one time of self glorification prevented Moses from leading Israel into the Promised Land. When Isaiah entered the Temple (Isaiah 6) he saw the "Lord high and lifted up," and we see the only outline for worship that is given in the Bible: which includes confession, cleansing, forgiveness, and commissioning for service.

But they are unprepared for the return of a man the desert claimed nine long years ago, a man who has returned from the doors of death and the depths of madness to bring his terrible fury upon their world. With the slash of a sword and a laugh that lights up the night, the man in the bloodstained mask cuts his way through the hopeless, endless routines of the clockwork men to bring new hope to the people. He defies death! He defies man! No trap can hold the masked daredevil, the saint of ghosts men know as El Sombra!

No doubt, you’ve heard about the Cubs’ decades-long run of futility. They hadn’t won a pennant in seventy-one years or a World Series in a record 108 years. To the frustration of Cubs fans everywhere, the team often missed chances with soul-crushing defeats. But after a complete teardown that resulted in a 100-loss season in 2012, Theo Epstein and his baseball staff reversed that with the Cubs of 2016, a team that was not only supremely talented, but cared nothing for all the media narratives of losing. They did things during the regular season that no Cubs club had done in more than a century, including earning the most wins for the franchise since 1910. The club went on to defeat the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League playoffs before beating the Cleveland Indians to win the World Series. Anthony Rizzo, MVP candidate Kris Bryant, Jake Arrieta, Jon Lester, manager Joe Maddon, and fan favorites like Javier Baez and David Ross are the heroes of the 2016 Cubs’ story. Told by Al Yellon, managing editor of SB Nation’s Bleed Cubbie Blue, A Season to Remember chronicles not only the 2016 Cubs’ rise to the top of the baseball heap, but the team’s—and the fans’—long journey to get there.

A unique, experiential text, Applied Leadership Development engages students with self-reflection and self-assessment exercises, and encourages them in their own development as future leaders.
