Fast Facts: Psoriasis

By: Alan Menter,Catherine Smith,Jonathan Barker

Psoriasis can no longer be considered a mere skin disease - it is a spectrum of different conditions requiring a spectrum of different treatments. Yet the systemic and psychosocial consequences of the condition often go unrecognized. The fourth edition of this refreshingly readable handbook explores the potential to improve the quality of life of patients by reducing the range of comorbidities associated with psoriasis, including arthritis, cardiovascular disease and inflammatory bowel disease. Fast Facts: Psoriasis is packed with practical information on all aspects of this increasingly treatable disease, including: • a concise review of the immunologic and genetic aspects of the disease • a well-illustrated guide to clinical presentation and differential diagnosis • all management options, from topical treatments to current and emerging receptor-targeted therapies • a commonsense approach to management by rotating and combining therapies • a fully updated chapter on psoriatic arthritis 'Fast Facts: Psoriasis' is essential reading for the primary care team, dermatology trainees and specialists in cardiology, gastroenterology and rheumatology who want to learn all about psoriasis but have little time to spare. Contents: • Epidemiology and pathophysiology • Clinical presentation • Differential diagnosis • General management approach • Topical Therapy • Phototherapy and photochemotherapy • Systemic therapy • Receptor-targeted (biological) therapies • Psoriatic arthritis • Future trends • Useful resources

Unexplained South

The Underwater Forest of Alabama, Inexplicable Lights Over Texas, the Red-Eyed Monster of Arkansas & More Rich Southern Mystery

By: Dr. Alan N. Brown

In the South, mystery comes heaped with added richness. And in this collection of comfort food for the curious mind, author Alan Brown guides readers into the most delightful medley of mystery the South has on offer. Witches in Tennessee. The devil's hoofprints in North Carolina. Voodoo in New Orleans. In this South, meat rains from the sky in Bath, Kentucky. A professor's thigh makes the case for spontaneous combustion in Nashville. UFO-induced radiation sickness befalls Huffman, Texas. From bluesman Robert Johnson selling his soul to the devil in Arkansas to the oak tree that defends the innocence of a man executed in Mobile, sometimes the inexplicable is truly the most satisfying.

Mississippi Scoundrels

Murderers, Marauders & Downright Vile Characters

By: Dr. Alan N. Brown

Author Alan Brown shines the light on some of worst characters in Mississippi history. Mississippi's nickname--"The Magnolia State"--highlights the region's natural and architectural beauty. However, Mississippi is also home to a rogue's gallery of thieves and murderers, beginning with the nation's first serial killers--the Harpe Brothers--and continuing to the present with Glen Rogers, "The Cross Country Killer." Lurking through Mississippi Scoundrels is a wide variety of scalawags, ranging from the 19th century "hell raisers " in Natchez-under-the-Hill to racist murderers, like Byron De La Beckworth and Samuel Bowers. Readers will also find "bad men" who have morphed into folk heroes, like Rube Burrow--"The King of the Train Robbers"--and Texas Red, Franklin County's African-American outlaw. But this book isn't all about atrocious men. Here you'll encounter vile women such as Ouida Keaton and Ruth Thompson, both of whom committed matricide, and Carolee Biddy, who killed her stepdaughter.

Dynasty of Light

Foundational Studies and Discourse in Color Theory

By: Alan Shijo McManus Burner

There is overwhelming evidence that ultimately, color's primary attribute is it's emotional function, or it's power and authority to create specific mood nuances. Of course, the function of this text is to study all of the components of color, and yet it is the dominant and rather manipulative character of color or mood appeal, which repeatedly surfaces and in due course validates and is the sum total of all other traits. Additionally, Dynasty of Light recognizes light as the source of color, and is therefore committed to the physics of color, as well. The physiological, psychological, symbolical, and art historical approaches to color and it's component facts and theory is featured, accompanied by several cultural perspectives. One compelling feature is the added function of the analysis of color pertaining to any given color composition. The text encourages both project solution skills (hands-on), and the written/oral analysis of color. Evidence indicates by teaching color theory from both a project and written analysis emphasis, reveals conclusively that the student who practices both, has the advantage. Twenty-first century color skills and knowledge has created higher demands for color excellence than ever before. The student of color needs every advantage possible in order to compete in today's world. This text provides the tools and insight needed for color superiority.

Vaccines for Biodefense and Emerging and Neglected Diseases

By: Alan D.T. Barrett,Lawrence R. Stanberry

The last 20 years has seen a rapid increase in infectious diseases, particularly those that are termed "emerging diseases" such as SARS, "neglected diseases" such as malaria and those that are deemed biothreats such as anthrax. It is well-recognized that the most effective modality for preventing infectious diseases is vaccination. This book provides researchers with a better understanding of what is currently known about these diseases, including whether there is a vaccine available or under development. It also informs readers of the key issues in development of a vaccine for each disease. - Provides a comprehensive treatise of the agents that are responsible for emerging and neglected diseases and those that can be used as biothreats - Includes the processes such as the vaccine development pathway, vaccine manufacturing and regulatory issues that are critical to the generation of these vaccines to the marketplace - Each chapter will include a map of the world showing where that particular disease is naturally found

The Nature and Value of Knowledge

The Nature and Value of Knowledge

Three Investigations

By: Duncan Pritchard,Alan Millar,Adrian Haddock

This volume comprises three distinct investigations into the relationship between the nature and the value of knowledge. Each is written by one of the authors in consultation with the other two. 'Knowledge and Understanding' (by Duncan Pritchard) critically examines virtue-theoretic responses to the problem of the value of knowledge, and argues that the finally valuable cognitive state is not knowledge but understanding. 'Knowledge and Recognition' (by Alan Millar) develops an account of knowledge in which the idea of a recognitional ability plays a prominent role, and argues that this account enables us better to understand knowledge and its value. 'Knowledge and Action' (by Adrian Haddock) argues for an account of knowledge and justification which explains why knowledge is valuable, and enables us to make sense of the knowledge we have of our intentional actions.

The Biology and Ecology of Streams and Rivers

The Biology and Ecology of Streams and Rivers

By: Alan Hildrew,Paul Giller

The challenges that the world's running water systems now face have never been more numerous or acute; at the same time, these complex habitats remain absolutely crucial to human wellbeing and future survival. If rivers can ever be anything like sustainable, ecology needs to take its place as an equal among the physical sciences such as hydrology and geomorphology. A real understanding of the natural history and ecology of running waters must now be brought even more prominently into river management. The primary purpose of this textbook is to provide the up-to-date overview that students and practitioners will require to achieve this aim. The book's unifying focus is on rivers and streams as ecosystems in which the particular identity of organisms is not the main emphasis but rather the processes in which they are involved - specifically energy flow and the cycling of materials. It builds on the physicochemical foundations of the habitat templet and explores the diversity and adaptations of the biota, progressing from the population and community ecology of organisms and linking them to ecosystem processes and services in the wider biosphere via the complexities of species interactions and food webs. These include water quality and patterns of river discharge, as well as aesthetics, waste disposal, and environmental health. While the book is not primarily focused on application per se, each chapter addresses how humans affect rivers and, in turn, are affected by them. A final, future-oriented chapter identifies key strategic areas and sets a roadmap for integrating knowledge of natural history and ecology into policy and management. The Biology and Ecology of Streams and Rivers is an accessible text suitable for both senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in both lotic and general ecology as well as more established researchers, practitioners, managers, and conservationists requiring a concise and contemporary overview of running waters.

Greek Mythography in the Roman World

By: Alan Cameron

By the Roman age the traditional stories of Greek myth had long since ceased to reflect popular culture, and become instead a central element in elite culture. This book illustrates the importance of semi-learned mythographic handbooks in the social, literary, and artistic world of Rome. One of the most intriguing features of these works is the fact that they all cite classical sources for the stories they tell, sources which are often forged.
