Anorthosites

The idea for a book on anorthosites came to me in January of 1986 while returning to Houston after holiday festivities in Dallas. The original idea was a review paper on anorthosites, but by the time I reached Houston, the subject material I contemplated induding was obviously too extensive for a single paper. The Director of the Lunar and Planetary Institute, Kevin Burke, was receptive to the idea of a book, and suggested that I contact Peter Wyllie, who serves as Editor of the Springer-Verlag series Minerals and Rocks. This effort, which I originally expected would take about a year, has taken nearly 6. I have many excuses- indolence, moving to another continent, other commitments, etc.-but the basic truth is that writing a book is much larger an undertaking than can be anticipated. Many people are aware of this, and I was duly forewarned. . But why write a book on anorthosites? This is a very good question, which I have considered from many angles. One rationale can be expressed in terms of a comparison between anorthosite and basalt. A first-order understanding of basalt genesis has been extant for many years. By contrast, there is little agreement about the origin of anorthosite. There are good reasons for studying and writing about basalt: it is the most abundant rock type on the Earth's surface, and is also plentiful on the surfaces of the other terrestrial planets.

Headache in Children and Adolescents

By: Paul Winner,Donald W. Lewis,Winner, Paul,A. David Rothner

This is a clinically useful book for pediatricians and other primary care providers who take care of children to guide them in the best ways to take care of children and teenagers who have headaches. It provides a blend of the best available evidence based data with a ton of 'experience-based' information from a team of authors who take care of kids with headache all the time. The book includes a CD-Rom showing case studies and references. The video demonstrations show not only a broad spectrum of cases and types of headache, but show an efficient manner for extracting the necessary information. This is an exciting area with new indications for adolescents of drugs heretofore approved only for adults.
