FRCS Trauma and Orthopaedics Viva

By: Nev Davies,Will Jackson,Andrew Price,Jonathan Rees,Chris Lavy

The successful FRCS Trauma and Orthopaedics Viva returns for a second edition, now including over 95 viva topics. Completely updated to include current clinical management guidelines, and exam hot topics, the book is brought to you again from the team behind the highly successful Oxford revision course. Based on the principle that viva candidates improve their technique by observing and learning from others, the editor team have created a best-practice formula for dealing with the individual scenarios. The book is set out in a simple format and every viva topic is introduced by an initial clinical photograph, radiograph, or diagram. Sets of questions follow underneath with the suggested answers on the next page. This allows the reader to work in pairs, groups, or on their own. Based on the Oxford revision course, this book is already a tried and tested revision tool, making it ideal preparation for the FRCS Trauma and Orthopaedics Viva exam.

Building Futures

Managing energy in the built environment

By: Jane Powell,Jennifer Monahan,Chris Foulds

A reduction in the energy demand of buildings can make a major contribution to achieving national and international carbon reduction goals, in addition to addressing the interlinked issues of sustainable development, fuel poverty and fuel security. Despite improvements in thermal efficiency, the energy demand of buildings stubbornly remains unchanged, or is only declining slowly, due to the challenges posed by growing populations, the expectations of larger, more comfortable and better equipped living spaces, and an expanding commercial sector. Building Futures offers an interdisciplinary approach to explore this lack of progress, combining technical and social insights into the challenges of designing, constructing and operating new low energy buildings, as well as improving the existing, inefficient, building stock. The twin roles of energy efficiency, which is predominantly concerned with technological solutions, and energy conservation which involves changing peoples’ behaviour, are both explored. The book includes a broad geographical range and scale of case studies from the UK, Europe and further afield, including Passivhaus in Germany and the UK, Dongtan Eco City in China and retrofit houses in Denmark. This book is a valuable resource for students and academics of environmental science and energy-based subjects as well as construction and building management professionals.

Science and the Near-Death Experience

How Consciousness Survives Death

By: Chris Carter

The scientific evidence for life after death • Explains why near-death experiences (NDEs) offer evidence of an afterlife and discredits the psychological and physiological explanations for them • Challenges materialist arguments against consciousness surviving death • Examines ancient and modern accounts of NDEs from around the world, including China, India, and many from tribal societies such as the Native American and the Maori Predating all organized religion, the belief in an afterlife is fundamental to the human experience and dates back at least to the Neanderthals. By the mid-19th century, however, spurred by the progress of science, many people began to question the existence of an afterlife, and the doctrine of materialism--which believes that consciousness is a creation of the brain--began to spread. Now, using scientific evidence, Chris Carter challenges materialist arguments against consciousness surviving death and shows how near-death experiences (NDEs) may truly provide a glimpse of an awaiting afterlife. Using evidence from scientific studies, quantum mechanics, and consciousness research, Carter reveals how consciousness does not depend on the brain and may, in fact, survive the death of our bodies. Examining ancient and modern accounts of NDEs from around the world, including China, India, and tribal societies such as the Native American and the Maori, he explains how NDEs provide evidence of consciousness surviving the death of our bodies. He looks at the many psychological and physiological explanations for NDEs raised by skeptics--such as stress, birth memories, or oxygen starvation--and clearly shows why each of them fails to truly explain the NDE. Exploring the similarities between NDEs and visions experienced during actual death and the intersection of physics and consciousness, Carter uncovers the truth about mind, matter, and life after death.

Duncan and Stephens County, Oklahoma

By: Chris Jefferies Ph.D.,"Pee Wee" Cary

Including some of Oklahomas earliest and most productive oil fields, Duncan and Stephens County played a major role in the development of Americas oil industry. Through historic images, this book focuses on the two themes that emerge from the areas past: first, the settlement, growth, and development of communities with strong, progressive pioneer heritage; and second, the discovery of oil in the late teens, and the development of a petroleum industry with a worldwide reach and impact. Using primarily the archives of the Stephens County Historical Museum, the authors selected photographs that illustrate the two themes of community and oil, and how they impact each other. Highlights include the growth and development of Duncan, Marlow, and Comanche; prosperity from the oil boom; the strong sense of community through the Depression; service in both World War I and World War II; renewed growth following World War II; and contemporary efforts to strengthen the communities.

Sense of Place and Place Attachment in Tourism

Sense of Place and Place Attachment in Tourism

By: Ning Chris Chen,C. Michael Hall,Girish Prayag

Place is integral to tourism. In tourism, almost all issues can ultimately be traced back to human–place interactions and human–place relationships. Sense of place, also referred to as place attachment, topophilia, and community sentiment, has received significant attention in tourism studies because it both contributes to, and is affected by, tourism. This book, written by notable authors in the field, examines sense of place and place attachment in terms of a typology of sense of place/place attachment that includes genealogical/historical, narrative/cultural, economic, ideological, cosmological, and dynamic elements. Dimensions of place attachment such as place identity, place dependence, and affective attachment are discussed as well as place marketing, place making, and destination management. Complete with a range of illustrative international cases and examples ranging from Santa Claus to the importance of place in indigenous and traditional cultures, this book represents a substantial addition to knowledge on the inseparable relationship between tourism and place and will be of great interest to all upper-level students and researchers of Tourism.

The Christmas Cactus

The Christmas Cactus

By: Chris Fiesel

Chris was born in a typical Mid-western town in southern Michigan in 1951. His parents, returning from World War II, began building a life with their two children. As he grew older, Chris was driven by a restlessness that denied him any measure of peace or serenity. After years of odd jobs and geographic moves, he slipped into a subtle disrepair, ultimately sinking into a near irrevocable insanity on skid row, surviving on drugs and alcohol, missions, blood banks and strange women. Existing for many years in a small room deep within an abandoned tenement building, there appeared to be no inspiration for change. A most desperate condition, and one of which only divine intervention makes recovery possible, is when a person becomes a non-person. When someone loses interest in life, yet retains that vita, the spark forbidding a swift and deliberate self-destruction, one carries on but less?intact as a human being.
