With advancing technology, students are getting accustomed to
evermore portable resources on their phones - quick reference texts
are therefore required to compete with this shift in approach.
Where easy layouts assist with faster clinical reasoning, or
ambulatory practice provides poor signal, printed text still
out-competes digital technologies. Affordable and concise, this
visually engaging concise textbook is easy to use as a revision aid
and take on placement (veterinary EMS - Extra-mural studies). The
spiralbound format allows it to lay flat when referred to in
practice, adding another level of practical use. The emphasis will
be on those things regularly available to general practitioners
with minimal information of advanced techniques. Similar to the
popular MiniVet guide, but for Equine: fills a gap for a concise,
quick and easy practical reference for students in Equine practice.
There’s a clear market for books that focus on best practices,
protocols, flowcharts and treatment management for equine
pathologies and thus provide a direct clinical approach to cases
and clinical reasoning. The book is clearly divided into
sub-sections, i.e., etiology, differential diagnosis etc. This
makes it simple to follow and useful to apply to cases. The high
quantity of pictures and diagrams help understanding of each
different condition. International readership Can be bought as a
single text or as a package with other books in the Equine Concise
Textbook series Distills key information from 'Equine Clinical
Medicine, Surgery and Reproduction 2E' which has previously been
out of the student price range.

Originally published in 1986, this stimulating and unorthodox book
integrates the major findings of hemispheric research with the
larger questions of how the brain stores and transmits information
- the 'brain code'. Norman Cook emphasizes how the two cerebral
hemispheres communicate information over the corpus callosum, the
largest single nerve tract of the human brain. Excitatory
mechanisms are involved in the duplication of information between
the hemispheres; in contrast, inhibitory mechanisms are implicated
in the production of hemispheric asymmetries and, crucially, in
high-level cognitive phenomena such as the right hemisphere's role
in providing the 'context' within which left hemispheric verbal
information is placed. These callosal mechanisms of information
transfer are not only fundamental to the brain code; they are the
simplest and most easily demonstrated ways in which the neocortex
'talks to itself'. The Brain Code demonstrates how popular topics
within psychology at the time, such as laterality, hemisphere
differences and the psychology of left and right, are central to
further progress in understanding the human brain. This book
provides stimulating reading for students of psychology, artificial
intelligence and neurophysiology, as well as anyone interested in
the broader question of how the brain works.
While it now attracts many tourists, the Colca Valley of Peru's
southern Andes was largely isolated from the outside world until
the 1970s, when a passable road was built linking the valley-and
its colonial churches, terraced hillsides, and deep canyon-to the
city of Arequipa and its airport, eight hours away. Noble David
Cook and his co-researcher Alexandra Parma Cook have been studying
the Colca Valley since 1974, and this detailed ethnohistory
reflects their decades-long engagement with the valley, its
history, and its people. Drawing on unusually rich surviving
documentary evidence, they explore the cultural transformations
experienced by the first three generations of Indians and Europeans
in the region following the Spanish conquest of the Incas.
This book examines one of the most high-profile municipal
privatizations-the privatization of New York City's Central Park.
The fiscal crisis of the 1970s established the political and
cultural opening for privatizations, which were justified on the
basis of increasing efficiency. However, as Cooke demonstrates,
these justifications were deliberately blind to the social and
economic implication of privatization. This fascinating account
moves beyond the hackneyed pro- versus anti-privatization debate by
reconceptualizing the park's privatization as an ensemble of
contradictory class effects. It also highlights the immense
theoretical and policy space for radically reconsidering and
rethinking privatization processes in both the municipal and global
contexts.

Upon walking U.S. inner-city streets you sooner or later come upon
groups of black kids wearing prison-style outfits; there is a boom
box, and rap music. And inevitably you will hear the N-word. Upon
entering a district housing migrants in any European city you will
encounter almost identical scenes - youngsters dressed in prison
style, the boom box, rap. Only most of the kids are of a "white" or
olive complexion. They call themselves "Wiggers," "white Niggers"
or "Black albinos." It was this "Wigger" metaphor, with its
implications of a transnational response to uprootedness and
racialized exclusion that inspired CAAR to invite African American
researchers working among inner city black youth and European and
Israeli migration scholars to a symposium of trans-cultural and -
national orientation called "Crossing Boundaries." We placed the
study of African American youth - and thus a native though
marginalized American population - next to research on migrant
youth in Western Europe. The essays gathered here hope to
contribute to an understanding on how to address the myriad
challenges that both the youth and the countries in which they live
must confront.
Filled with an abundance of reader-friendly and quick-reference
tables and figures, this Fourth Edition spans the etiology,

from renowned authorities in the discipline and includes chapters
on recent advances in neuroimaging, molecular biology, genetics,
proteinomics, disease management, and combination therapy.
The big question in the science of psychology is: Why are human
cognition and behavior so different from the capabilities of every
other animal species on Earth including our close genetic
relations, the chimpanzees? This book provides a coherent answer by
examining those aspects of the human brain that have made triadic
forms of perception and cognition possible. Mechanisms of dyadic
association sufficiently explain animal perception, cognition, and
behavior but a three-way associational mechanism is required to
explain the human talents for language, tool-making, harmony
perception, pictorial depth perception, and the joint attention
that underlies all forms of social cooperation."
Hip hop is one of the most dominant and influential cultures in the
world, giving new voice to the younger generation. Jeff Chang and

In MEDICINE GENERATIONS, Natural Native American Medicines
Traditional to the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans Indian
Tribe, author Misty Cook (Davids) has documented through oral
tradition 58 Native American herbal Medicines that have been told
through stories in her family within the tribe. Beginning with the
history of these Medicines through her family tree of Wolf Clan
Medicine people, this book is a guide for learning about the
Medicines and how to use them. Gathering and identifying these
plants and trees, preparing them through teas, tinctures, salves,
and poultices is described. An importance of the spirituality is
touched upon as well as how to use and prepare these Medicines.
Color photos of these plants and trees in full bloom captured at
the exact gathering stage are shared so the reader can easily
identify these Medicines growing naturally as well as a detailed
description of them and complete directions for the use of these
Medicines for healing and health maintenance.
Clinical trials have become essential research tools for evaluating
the benefits and risks of new interventions for the treatment and
prevention of diseases, from cardiovascular disease to cancer to
AIDS. Based on the authors' collective experiences in this field,
Introduction to Statistical Methods for Clinical Trials presents
various statistical topics relevant to the design, monitoring, and
analysis of a clinical trial.
After reviewing the history, ethics, protocol, and regulatory
issues of clinical trials, the book provides guidelines for
formulating primary and secondary questions and translating
clinical questions into statistical ones. It examines designs used
in clinical trials, presents methods for determining sample size,
and introduces constrained randomization procedures. The authors
also discuss how various types of data must be collected to answer
key questions in a trial. In addition, they explore common analysis
methods, describe statistical methods that determine what an
emerging trend represents, and present issues that arise in the
analysis of data. The book concludes with suggestions for reporting
trial results that are consistent with universal guidelines
recommended by medical journals.
Developed from a course taught at the University of Wisconsin
for the past 25 years, this textbook provides a solid understanding
of the statistical approaches used in the design, conduct, and
analysis of clinical trials.
