Since pediatric surgeons can and do perform nearly every major pediatric surgical procedure laparoscopically, and since many of the approaches have evolved some over the years—past the learning curve—into cost effective operations that rarely take extra time to perform, or in some cases save time, it is worthwhile reviewing our current practices. This book, then, serves as both an update of current practices and as a manual for how to approach the most common of the pediatric disorders using laparoscopic techniques. It covers the basics of anesthesia, instrumentation and ergonomics and then reviews many of the more commonly performed laparoscopic and thoracoscopic pediatric procedures, including a review of fetal work. While any book written about such a rapidly evolving technique may miss some of the very newest twists and modifications of technique, it is our hope that most of the contents will serve the readers as a reference for years to come as they care for children with common pediatric surgical problems.
Explores early prehistoric life from the Silurian period through the Middle Triassic epoch, including tetrapods, amphibians, reptiles, and land plants.

The Black Tourmaline is the first book of a trilogy in which Chapter one and two are non-fiction. Thereafter it morphs into a fictional tale that is laced with murder, mystery and a pitfall riddled romance. An enthusiastic fan of Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys in my youth, I would like to think I have taken the art of masking mysteries with hidden clues to a new level. If you look close enough, you just might find a number of such clues and discover who is actually behind the murders...and why. By the end of “The Black Tourmaline,” the stage will not only be set for more danger filled adventures but reveal that love’s fight for survival has only just begun. Should you enjoy the ride and be left with more questions than answers, please look for book two of the trilogy, “Clearly in The Dark,” in late 2024
