World War II is thundering to its frenzied conclusion in Hitler¿s capital, Berlin. Discipline gone, ranks scattered, the attacking Red Army drives its assault into the city from multiple compass points. Isolated in their damaged home in a quiet corner of Berlin, the Hartmann family struggles to accommodate to life in their cellar. The upper two floors of the home were rendered uninhabitable by a shell or aerial bomb. Just now, ¿Papa¿ Hartmann, 67, and daughters Elli, 26, and Gisela, 17, are ¿making do.¿ In these final days of April 1945, Papa has observed Elli as she stands looking out through the cellar¿s only window. This concerns Papa. Elli has told him the living, but apparently wounded, body of a German solider lies just beyond the window. Papa speaks to Elli: ¿Another mouth to feed would mean the end of our larder, my Treasure.¿ ¿Don¿t worry, Papa. I¿m already stretching it.¿ And there they rest. The Red Army sack will go on. The Hartmanns will struggle on, filling pages with defiance. About the Author Drafted out of Loyola University in Chicago, William F. Keefe served in the United States Army and the United States Information Agency (USIA) from 1943 to 1954. A personal experience article that he wrote on his return to the United States was published in the September 1955 issue of Vogue. Mr. Keefe spent several years as the editor of a weekly newspaper, as a senior editor of a leading encyclopedia, and as author of several novels. Drawing on his summers as a laborer in a steel plant in south Chicago, he wrote a ¿steel mill novel¿ titled Steel Summer. The novel became the dramatic source of a screenplay that remains for sale as a movie. Those efforts continue under the skilled representation of a professional agency in Los Angeles. In the meantime, Mr. Keefe continues his writing. The Eye of Chaos, comments the author, ¿echoes many similar, and often tragic, episodes that cost thousands of innocent lives in Berlin in the closing days of World War II.¿

Lumbar Spine Disorders

Current Concepts

By: Richard M. Aspden,Richard William Porter

This is a companion to Volume 1 with the same title and a similar approach: namely to draw together current understanding of the multifactorial nature of back pain. Both volumes together contain chapters contributed by most of the leading researchers into back pain in the UK and as such they constitute an unparalleled resource. Rather than concentrating on specialist areas such as surgery or the lumbar spine, the emphasis is on understanding the function and failure of the spine and its component tissues. As such it contains material which is applicable to anyone with an interest in any aspect of the spine; from biomechanics to blood flow, epidemiology to economics, nerves to nutrition and everything else in between.

The Male Element

By: William F. Keefe

Modern society, and in particular modern American society, survives, grows, and prospers on the mantra of progress. "Find a better way and don't look back"-that's the rubric that provides the driving power behind America's passion for advancement, invention, novelty. Well and good, say the thoughtfully inclined. But what of ethics, the branch of philosophy that asks us to judge whether human actions are right or wrong? Is anyone on the right side if ethics is not considered-in, say, performing an abortion? In the cloning of humans? In male "motherhood?" Such issues, plus others like artificial insemination and the embryonation of women, come to the point of open, violent conflict in William F. Keefe's novel The Male Element. Ethicist James Vandorn takes it upon himself to rid his peaceful community of what he considers crimes against nature. Those so-called crimes center on embryologist, Dr. Emlyn Brand's experiments with simians and then with volunteer human subjects. Brand's target: a "pregnant man." Can the outcome be settled peaceably once each man decides that his cause is the valid one? Blood flows. A fetus is aborted by the violence that also leads to a protagonist's death.

Sociology in Everyday Life

Fourth Edition

By: David A. Karp,William C. Yoels,Barbara H. Vann,Michael Ian Borer

Over multiple successful editions, this distinctive text puts day-to-day life under the microscope of sociological analysis, providing an engaging treatment of situations and interactions that are resonant with readers’ daily experiences. Clearly written and well-researched, it reveals the underlying patterns and order of everyday life, employing both seminal classical works and contemporary analyses that define and embrace the theories and methods of symbolic interactionism. The latest edition provides fresh insights into patterns of behavior across a wide range of settings and circumstances, connecting our individual “selves” to such issues as the effects of power differentials on social situations, changing definitions of intimacy, varied experiences of aging and the life course, and the ongoing search for meaning. Boxed inserts highlight topics of related interest, while thought-provoking discussion questions encourage readers to apply chapter content to their daily experiences.
