In the summer of 1790 the Italian explorer Count Paolo Andreani traveled along the Hudson and Mohawk rivers, keeping a meticulous record of his observations and experiences in the New World. Published for the first time and translated into English, the diary is of major importance to those interested in life after the American Revolution, political affairs in the New Republic, and Native American peoples. Andreani provides detailed observations of the landscape and natural history of his route. He also documents the manners and customs of the Iroquois, Shakers, and German, Dutch, and Anglo New Yorkers. Andreani was particularly interested in the Oneida and Onondaga Indians he visited, and his description of an Oneida lacrosse match accompanies the earliest known depiction of a lacrosse stick. Andreani's American letters, included here, relate his sometimes difficult but always revealing personal relationships with Washington, Jefferson, and Adams. Prefaced by an illuminating historical and biographical introduction, Along the Hudson and Mohawk is a fascinating look at the New Republic as seen through the eyes of an observant and curious explorer.

Portal hypertension has traditionally attracted great interest from physicians, surgeons, and radiologists owing to the accompanying high risk of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Against this background the current volume, written by internationally recognized experts, sets out to provide a comprehensive coverage of the diagnosis and treatment of portal hypertension. An extensive description of the vascular anatomy of the portal system is given, and the pathophysiology and clinical characteristics of the disorder are reviewed. Both conventional and newer diagnostic techniques are then discussed and illustrated, particular attention being paid to techniques such as color Doppler and magnetic resonance that can simultaneously provide morphological and functional information. Medical, endoscopic, surgical, and radiological treatments are all considered, with special emphasis on the use of transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS). Possible complications of treatment receive due attention, and avenues for future research are outlined. This volume will serve as an invaluable source of up-to-date information for all with an interest in the subject, and will provide a sound basis for therapeutic decision making.
