Few economic events have caused such controversy as the
privatization process in Russia. Some see it as the foundation of
political and economic freedom. For others it was economics gone
wrong, and ended in "Russians stealing money from their own
country". As Russia reasserts itself, and its new brand of
capitalism, it is ever more important that policy makers and
scholars understand the roots of the economic structure and
governance of that country; what was decided, who made the
decisions and why, what actually transpired, and what implications
this has for the future of Russia. This work, written by two senior
advisors to the Russian government, has unique access to
documentation, tracking the decision making process in the Russian
Mass Privatization process. By close reference to events, and
supplemented by interviews with many of the key participants, it
shows that the policies adopted were often influenced and shaped by
different forces than those cited by current popular accounts. The
book challenges the interpretation of Russian privatization by some
of the West's most eminent economists. It underlines that
economists of all schools, who bring assumptions from the West to
the analysis of Russia, may reach false or misleading conclusions.
It is an essential guide for anyone interested in Russian economic
reform, and anyone who seeks to understand this enigmatic country,
and its actions today.

It is approaching a century since the first edition of
Demonstrations of Physical Signs in Clinical Surgery was first
published, authored by the pioneering surgical teacher Hamilton
Bailey. That it has survived is testimony to the continuing need
for those learning surgery to be able to elicit physical signs in
the patient and to understanding their meaning and significance.Key
features: * Highly accessible for both the undergraduate and
surgical trainee - improved presentation of examination details and
physical signs and new text features including chapter summaries,
clinical cases and special interest boxes* Unrivalled selection of
over 1400 illustrations - expose the student to a wide range of
common and less common diseases that they will be unlikely to
encounter in limited clinical sessions, but may nonetheless be
examined upon* System-based content - mirrors structure of 26th
edition of Bailey & Love's Short Practice of Surgery,
re-establishing the link between these two seminal surgical
textbooks* Expanded and international editorial team - ensuring the
content reflects appropriately that of all readers across all
marketsThe fully-revised nineteenth edition has been brought
completely up to date reflecting current surgical practice in both
the developed and developing nations, while preserving Hamilton
Bailey's original message regarding the importance of physical
signs in clinical surgery. It will continue to provide medical
students and postgraduates embarking upon a surgical career with an
invaluable and immediate source of distilled wisdom and knowledge,
set in the context of current surgical practice around the world.

their son to play baseball.
Other counterfactual histories are based on a concept from chaos
theory called the butterfly effect. According to chaos theory, a
very small difference in one initial condition of a dynamical
system, such as a butterfly flapping its wings, may cause a series
of changes that in the long run produce a vast change in
conditions. "Clopton's History of the Confederate States of
America, 1861 - 1925" by Carole Elizabeth Scott is different. So
that the ramifications of several things that could have happened
can be explored in one story, there are several precipitating
initial changes in this story, and the story continues much further
into the future than does the typical counterfactual history. This
story is very unusual in that it takes the form of a textbook. A
unique twist is that this counterfactual textbook was co-authored
by a fictional college professor and a counterfactual version of
Scott. History professors have biases. By taking the form of
textbook, this story is able to demonstrate the likely difference
between how victorious Confederate historians would have viewed
given events and issues than have real world American historians.
Real textbooks often have an appendix; so does this counterfactual
textbook. The appendix provides biographical sketches of a number
of real people. It provide readers with some insights into often
not widely known aspects of the real world that guided the author
in fabricating a reasonable alternative history.
British author Philip Pullman's celebrated trilogy for young
readers, His Dark Materials [Northern Lights/Golden Compass (1995),
The Subtle Knife (1997), The Amber Spyglass (2000)], has reached a
broad spectrum of readers, from those appreciating his metaphysical
imagination and literary depth to those charmed by his suspenseful
and emotional storytelling. Pullman's trilogy is distinguished not
only for its narrative and poetic power but also for its awareness
of literary tradition. His Dark Materials confronts some of the
most urgent dilemmas of our time without suggesting answers but
rather a way of meeting them with courage and surviving them with
grace. Edited by Millicent Lenzrenowned for her study of Pullman's
workthis is the first book to place His Dark Materials in critical
perspective. The fourteen diverse essays within offer literary and
historical analysis as well as approaches from such disciplines as
theology, storytelling, and linguistics 1886167249 03e040305-56
