Buffalo Bill from Prairie to Palace

An Authentic History Of The Wild West - Illustrated Edition

By: John M. Burke

The author of this book has attempted to present to the reader the story and triumphs of the frontier lad of nine years, from the wild Western scenes of Kansas and Nebraska, from the prairies of the Platte to the parlors of the East and the palaces of Europe. William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody (1846-1917) was an American scout, bison hunter, and showman. He was born in Le Claire, Iowa Territory but he lived for several years in his father's hometown in Toronto Township, Ontario, Canada, before the family returned to the Midwest and settled in the Kansas Territory. One of the most colorful figures of the American Old West, Buffalo Bill's legend began to spread when he was only twenty-three. Shortly thereafter he started performing in shows that displayed cowboy themes and episodes from the frontier and Indian Wars. He founded Buffalo Bill's Wild West in 1883, taking his large company on tours in the United States and, beginning in 1887, in Great Britain and continental Europe.

Pediatric Tumors

Immunological and Molecular Markers

By: John T. Kemshead

This monograph explains the considerable impact that monoclonal antibodies and molecular probes have had on the diagnosis of tumor types and sub-types. It explains how radiolabelled monoclonal antibodies have also been used as imaging agents to try to improve the oncologist's ability to define residual tumor deposits after combination chemo/radiotherapy. Finally, the childhood malignancies that still have a poor prognosis are presented, and new novel ways of therapy are explained.

Distributed Leadership in Nursing and Healthcare: Theory, Evidence and Development

By: Elizabeth A. Curtis,Martin Beirne,John Cullen,Ruth Northway,Siobhan Corrigan

“This book claims to be ‘like no other’ and that is so true. The editors and authors each add quality guidance around distributed leadership to readers, providing evidence-based examples, useful websites and key reading material to support and supplement the ideas being presented.” Bridie Kent, Professor in Leadership in Nursing, University of Plymouth, UK “This book, thankfully, isn’t about self-defined heroic organizational leaders or power-hungry political leaders – it tells the stories of the people doing leadership every day in their work to make healthcare happen.” Scott Taylor, Business School Director of Admissions, University of Birmingham, UK This innovative book brings together experts from health sciences, nursing, business and management backgrounds to provide a broad analysis of the growing field of distributed leadership. The book offers health professionals practical guidance on applying distributed leadership, resulting in more effective forms of collaborative clinical teamwork and lasting improvements in care. The text: •Offers a comprehensive collection of perspectives, featuring chapters by expert clinical, nursing and management studies contributors •Synthesizes and explores recent developments in the leadership and distributed leadership research literature •Supports research and theory with examples of cases of effective distributed leadership in clinical practice, service quality, patient safety, leadership development, general nursing, midwifery education, oncology services, intellectual disability, evidence-based practice and organizational change and development •Provides an international focus, to encourage reflection on learning from experiences across Europe and beyond Distributed Leadership in Nursing and Healthcare is essential reading for health professionals, undergraduate and postgraduate students, and researchers working in the field of leadership.

Curtis, Assistant Professor, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Martin Beirne, Emeritus Professor of Management and Organisational Behaviour at the University of Glasgow, UK John G.

Hairy-cell Leukaemia

Hairy-cell Leukaemia

By: John Burthem,John C. Cawley

Hairy cell Leukaemia (HCL) has always attracted an interest out of all proportion to its frequency and continues to do so. There are two reasons for this. The first is that the disease is unusually responsive to therapy and second is that it has provided a number of important insights into B-cell biology. This monograph is a comprehensive account of hairy cell leukaemia and aims to provide a more detailed account than is available in the existing literature. The work is timely because a consensus has now emerged concerning accurate differential diagnosis a nd curative treatment. These aspects therefore form the focus of the book and are considered in detail. The basic advances in the laboratory that encourage the belief that elucidation of the underlying oncogenic event in the disease may be within reach. The background to this belief is extensively renewed. As a result the monograph will be of interest and practical value to both clinicians and researchers in this and related fields.

Multi-Wavelength Studies of Pulsars and Their Companions

By: John Antoniadis

The focus of his prize-winning thesis is on observations and modeling of binary millisecond pulsars. But in addition, John Antoniadis covers a wide range of observational measurements of binary compact stars systems and tests of General Relativity, like indirect measurements of gravitational wave emission and posing the most stringent constraints on Scalar-Tensor gravity theories. Among others, he presents a system that hosts the most massive neutron star known to date, which has important ramifications for strong-field gravity and nuclear physics. This impressive work was awarded the Otto-Hahn Medal of the Max-Planck Society and the Best PhD in Gravity, Particle and Atomic physics award by the German Physics Society (DPG).

Introduction to Green Chemistry

Introduction to Green Chemistry

By: John Andraos,Albert S. Matlack

Interest in green chemistry and clean processes has grown so much in recent years that topics such as fluorous biphasic catalysis, metal organic frameworks, and process intensification, which were barely mentioned in the First Edition, have become major areas of research. In addition, government funding has ramped up the development of fuel cells and biofuels. This reflects the evolving focus from pollution remediation to pollution prevention. Copiously illustrated with more than 800 figures, the Third Edition provides an update from the frontiers of the field. It features supplementary exercises at the end of each chapter relevant to the chemical examples introduced in each chapter. Particular attention is paid to a new concluding chapter on the use of green metrics as an objective tool to demonstrate proof of synthesis plan efficiency and to identify where further improvements can be made through fully worked examples relevant to the chemical industry. NEW AND EXPANDED RESEARCH TOPICS Metal-organic frameworks Metrics Solid acids for alkylation of isobutene by butanes Carbon molecular sieves Mixed micro- and mesoporous solids Organocatalysis Process intensification and gas phase enzymatic reactions Hydrogen storage for fuel cells Reactive distillation Catalysts in action on an atomic scale UPDATED AND EXPANDED CURRENT EVENTS TOPICS Industry resistance to inherently safer chemistry Nuclear power Removal of mercury from vaccines Removal of mercury and lead from primary explosives Biofuels Uses for surplus glycerol New hard materials to reduce wear Electronic waste Smart growth The book covers traditional green chemistry topics, including catalysis, benign solvents, and alternative feedstocks. It also discusses relevant but less frequently covered topics with chapters such as "Chemistry of Long Wear" and "Population and the Environment." This coverage highlights the importance of chemistry to everyday life and demonstrates the benefits the expanded exploitation of green chemistry can have for society.
