Critical Care Compendium

1001 Topics in Intensive Care & Acute Medicine

By: J. F. Cade

Uncommon clinical problems can present serious challenges in any medical specialty, particularly in those areas providing acute care. Bringing together all uncommon problems relevant to the treatment of seriously ill patients in a quick one-stop reference, this book is an easy-to-use and practical reference for the clinician at any level faced with an uncommon acute medical problem at the bedside. Using a popular A-Z format, over 1000 entries reflect the current breadth of the specialty's extension to hospital-wide issues of acute care. Each topic contains both essential diagnostic and treatment information and discusses the implications for intensive care management. Extensive cross-referencing throughout aids rapid access to key information and the use of cartoons enhances learning. The book offers a source of reference for the many issues so often overlooked in major textbooks, which can be difficult not only to locate elsewhere but also for experienced clinicians to remember in detail. An invaluable resource within a single volume for intensivists, anaesthetists, emergency specialists, and a wide range of other healthcare professionals.

Vatican II and Phenomenology

Reflections on the Life-World of the Church

By: J.F. Kobler

The thesis of this essay may be stated quite briefly: Vatican II is a demonstration model of the phenomenological method employed on an international scale. It exemplifies the final developmental stage, postulated by Husserl, of an inter subjective phenomenology which would take its point of departure, not from individual subjectivity, but from transcendental intersubjectivity. Vatican II, accordingly, offers a unique application of a universal transcendental philosophy in the field of religious reflection for the practical purposes of moral and socio cultural renewal. Phenomenology, as a distinctively European development, is relatively un known in America - at least in its pure form. Our contact with this style of 1 intuitive reflection is usually filtered through psychology or sociology. How ever, Edmund Husserl, The Father of Phenomenology, was originally trained in mathematics, and he entered the field of philosophy because he recognized 2 that the theoretical foundations of modern science were disintegrating. He foresaw that, unless this situation were rectified, modern men would eventually slip into an attitude of absolute scepticism, relativism, and pragmatism. After the First World War he saw this theoretical problem mirrored more and more in the social turbulence of Europe, and his thoughts turned to the need for a 3 renewal at all levels of life. In 1937 when Nazism was triumphant in Germany, and Europe on the brink of World War II, he wrote his last major work, The 4 Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Philosophy.

Amen

By: J F Reeves

Rancher Jesse Tullett has had enough. Too many mornings bring the unwelcome sight of another cattle mutilation on his ranch. This time they left a clue. This time Jesse resolves to launch his own investigation. For the people who have called the arid lands of New Mexico home for millennia, the knowledge that something is festering in the deep underground caverns and cave systems below, is an accepted fact of life. Navaho tribal police officers, Joe Mist and Cyril Lightfoot, explored these chasms as boys and had seen things ... alien to them. Disillusioned and world weary, Father Ted Ross settled in the small village of San Leone, New Mexico. Over the years he had seen things, and needed to distance himself from the evil infiltrating his beloved catholic church. What he hadn't counted on, was the demons he was about to confront, where bigger than the ones he had left at the Vatican. John Sampras is a computer genius. He has been sent to Pine Gap, Australia, to install a new update on one of the worlds best kept secrets. What he finds, challenges every known ethic he was taught to believe in. Sampras knows the decision he makes could very well be the catalyst to destroy not only the New World Order, but all of humanity. Independently, this ragtag band of strangers hardly make a ripple. Collectively they are humanities only hope. AMEN is the End Game. The time where politics, religion and survival all grapple for centre stage. It is the Time of the End of this system of things - Armageddon is on our doorstep.

Religion and Culture

Essays in Honor of Bernard Lonergan, S. J.

By: Bernard J. F. Lonergan,International Lonergan Symposium on Religion and Culture (1984 : University of Santa Clara)

While the framework of this book is Lonergan, the essays stand as original and constructive works in a number of fields and topics. The theme of the relation of religion to culture is addressed from four orientations: philosophy, theology, human science, and economics. The contributors include Stephen Toulmin, Frederick Crowe, S.J., Sebastian Moore, Walter Conn, and William Johnston, S.J. Topics covered include process thought, historical-mindedness, mysticism, religious truth and language, nuclear war, and economic transformation. Lonergan's monumental Insight (1957) and Method in Theology (1972) are substantial and powerful. The key to these and other works is method. Lonergan's thought rests on the subject's intelligent and responsible self-appropriation, grounded in creative and cooperative work from diverse disciplines. This volume demonstrates the richness and importance of the methodical collaboration called for by one of our century's greatest minds.

Mr. Pizza

By: J. F. Pandolfi

Just about everyone makes at least one off-the-wall decision at some point. Usually it’s no big deal. But if it ends up changing people’s lives. . . It’s 1973, and Tony decides he needs a carefree year off after college—with pay. To the shock of his tight-knit family and closest friends, he postpones law school and talks his way into a job teaching sixth grade at a Catholic school in Staten Island, N. Y. A paid vacation if ever there was one! Yeah, right. Say hi to the Moby Dick of miscalculations. His pathetic effort is making him look bad, especially compared to the other sixth-grade instructor, Sister Theresa, an energetic young nun whose sunny disposition could have turned Attila the Hun into a daisy-picking philanthropist. It’s also crimping his efforts to enchant Colleen O’Brien, a stunning, straight-talking teacher who sees right through him. To make matters worse, his irreverent sense of humor antagonizes the powers-that-be: the alpha-male president of the school board, and the pastor who’s more interested in single malt scotch than saving souls. Does he have the ability—or the desire—to turn things around to try to save his job? And will he ever realize that his students deserve a lot more than they’ve been getting from him?

Influence Warfare

How Terrorists and Governments Fight to Shape Perceptions in a War of Ideas

By: James J. F. Forest

This important work, edited by an expert on terrorism, focuses on the 21st-century struggle for strategic influence and ways in which states can neutralize the role of new media in spreading terrorist propaganda. In an era where anyone can have access to the Internet or other media forms that make widespread communication easy, terrorists and insurgents can spread their messages with complete freedom, creating challenges for national security. Influence Warfare: How Terrorists and Governments Fight to Shape Perceptions in a War of Ideas focuses on the core of the ongoing struggle for strategic influence and, particularly, how states can counter the role media and the Internet play in radicalizing new agents of terrorism. As the book makes clear, governments need to find ways to effectively confront non-state adversaries at all levels of the information domain and create an understanding of strategic communications within a broad range of technologies. The essays from the international group of authors who contributed to this work offer a deeper understanding of the ongoing struggle. Influence Warfare also provides a set of case studies that illustrate how the means and methods of strategic influence can impact a nation's security.

Higher Education in the United States [2 volumes]

An Encyclopedia [2 volumes]

By: James J. F. Forest,Kevin Kinser

Surveys the changing landscape of American higher education, from academic freedom to virtual universities, from campus crime to Pell Grants, from the Student Privacy Act to student diversity. In the years following World War II, college and university enrollment doubled, students revolted, faculty unionized, and community colleges evolved. Tuition and technology soared, as did the number of first-generation, minority, and women students. These changes radically transformed the American system of postsecondary education. Today, that system is in trouble. Its aging professoriate prepares for retirement, but low academic salaries can no longer attract the best minds to replace them. A flood of corporate dollars funds commercial research, but money for basic research—the seedbed of American scientific preeminence—has dried up. Colleges and universities also face heated competition with for-profit education providers for students, faculty, and external financial support, along with the costs of providing remedial education to growing numbers of students who are unprepared for postsecondary education. Higher Education in the United States provides a comprehensive analysis of these issues and others that scholars and practitioners of higher education study, discuss, and grapple with on a daily basis.

An Atlas of Lung Infections

By: J.F. Costello,Dawn E. Saunders

This is an exceptionally well constructed color atlas of lung infections both for specialists and for residents studying for board exams. Highly detailed photographs of microbiological or histological preparations accompany the radiographs to give a complete diagnostic picture of common and rare lower respiratory tract infections in the way examining boards now expect trainees to recognize and understand these laboratory procedures. Case histories in the captions help explain the diagnosis further. In text and pictures this atlas describes clinical assessment and microbiological examination in the diagnosis of respiratory tract infection, and covers routine bronchial infections, pneumonias, mycobacterium tuberculosis, and AIDS.
