In Pistols and Politics, Samuel C. Hyde, Jr., reveals the reasons behind the remarkable levels of violence in Louisiana’s Florida parishes in the nineteenth century. This updated and expanded edition deftly brings the analysis forward to account for the continuation of violence and mayhem in the region in the early twentieth century. Numerous pockets of small communities formed in the nineteenth-century South with cultures and values independent from those of the dominant planter class. As Hyde shows, one such area was the Florida parishes of southeastern Louisiana, where peculiar conditions com-bined to create an enclave of white yeomen, and where in the years after the Civil War, levels of conflict escalated to a state of chronic anar-chy. His careful study of a society that degenerated into utter chaos illuminates the factors that allowed these conditions to arise and triumph. Additional material reveals the ongoing impact of a culture riddled with suspicion and bitterness well into the Jim Crow era.
You are not about to read the views of one author alone. In this powerful book Samuel Fisk quotes over 100 scholars. He presents, in one volume, a vast array of balanced and scholarly views to help you unravel the vexed questions of election and predestination. It is often assumed that one must be either a Calvinist or an Armenian. This is not so. There is a balanced, scriptural line of truth regarding election that will preserve the Bible student from dangerous by-path meadows into which far too many have strayed over the years. As you read the wise and careful comments of such scholars as W.E. Vine, Sir. Robert Anderson, C.H. Spurgeon, F.B. Meyer, Handley Moule, Harry Ironside, R.A. Torrey, G. Campbell Morgan, Wilber M. Smith, J.C. Ryle, A.T. Robinson, Christopher Wordsworth and J. Sidlow Baxter, you will begin to see your way through this particularly tricky theological minefield. This could be one of the most important books you will ever read.
Resynchronization and Defibrillation for Heart Failure: A Practical Approach is one of the first texts to provide caregivers with information about the background and application of this new and rapidly expanding discipline. Its four authors are cardiologists who have expertise in device management, electrophysiology, and heart failure management. The text integrates the approach and management experience of the authors’ three institutions. The aim is to bring together information from subspecialists in device management, electrophysiology, and heart failure management in an effort to facilitate the care of the patient with CRT.
To address the exponential growth in the fields of pediatric hematology and oncology, this classic reference has been separated into two distinct volumes. With this volume, devoted strictly to pediatric hematology, and another to pediatric oncology, you’ll keep you on the cutting-edge of these two specialties. The completely revised 7th edition of Nathan and Oski’s Hematology of Infancy and Childhood is now in full color, and provides you with the most comprehensive, authoritative, up-to-date information for diagnosing and treating children with hematologic disorders. It brings together the pathophysiology of disease with detailed clinical guidance on diagnosis and management for the full range of blood diseases that you encounter in everyday practice. Written by the leading names in pediatric hematology, this resource is an essential tool for anyone involved in caring for children with hematologic disorders. Balances summaries of relevant pathophysiology with clear, practical clinical guidance to help you thoroughly understand the underlying science of diseases. Offers comprehensive coverage of all hematologic disorders, including newly recognized ones, along with the latest breakthroughs in diagnosis and management. Uses many boxes, graphs, and tables to highlight complex clinical diagnostic and management guidelines at a glance. Presents an all-new full-color design that includes clear illustrative examples of relevant science and clinical problems for quick access to the answers you need.
Traditional textbooks are difficult to learn from. Solid Mechanics: Learn the basics in 18 lectures is different. With clear, concise language and easy-to-follow examples, the fundamental concepts of introductory mechanics of materials are presented in 18 short, lecture-style chapters. Each chapter contains an abundance of graphics, with concepts taught through a series of drawings integrated with short paragraphs of supporting text, aiding visual learning. Four to seven assignment problems are provided at the end of each chapter to practice the concepts that have just been covered. Detailed hand-written solutions for each of the 92 assignment/practice problems are available for download (Solution Manual for 3rd edition of Solid Mechanics: Learn the basics in 18 lectures). This textbook is ideal for new undergraduate engineering students who are learning mechanics of materials for the first time, or as a reference for more advanced engineering students or professionals who could benefit from a quick refresher. Subjects covered within the text include: average normal stress and average shear stress normal strain, shear strain, and stress-strain diagrams safety factors and axial deformation indeterminate axial loads and stress concentration torsion statically indeterminate torqued members shear and moment diagrams using the method of sections shear and moment diagrams using the graphical method bending stress bending due to off-axis moments composite beams transverse shear analyzing fasteners in built-up beams combined loading stress transformation and Mohr’s circle failure of brittle materials failure of ductile materials using the absolute maximum shear stress theory failure of ductile materials using the maximum distortion energy theory measuring stress
