Endometriosis is on a worldwide increase and carries with it
serious implications for women's reproductive health. Endometriosis
in Clinical Practice brings together international experts to
demonstrate what is known about the condition and the corresponding
clinical implications for the patient suffering from it. Unlike
many other books on this subject that are geared towards the
patient or excessively focused on research, this one also answers
the questions and meets the needs of the diagnosing physician. With
the aid of color illustrations, the book highlights clinical topics
such as epidemiology, assessment of health status, and
endometriosis and ART. It covers everything you need to know about
the disease, its diagnosis, and its management.
In an attempt to challenge the prevailing attitudes and images of
nursing homes in America, the authors have written a touching book
about the people and the relationships that are a part of nursing
home care. Their extensive study of and experience with nursing
home residents and caregivers reveal that our negative and often
painful thoughts about nursing homes are not always well-founded.
The authors effectively use monologue and dialogue to take the
reader into the world of the nursing home to observe the work of
the nursing home staffs, from administrators to housekeepers, as
they become surrogate families and friends of the patients. Most
moving are the thoughts and words of the residents themselves,
especially as they describe their initial horror and anger at being
in the nursing home, and their feelings of abandonment and loss of
self-esteem. Valuable for both undergraduate and graduate courses
in nursing, social work, psychology, death and dying, pastoral care
and counseling, this comprehensive volume is useful as a primary or
supplementary text.BACKCOVER COPY In an attempt to challenge the

A successful example of European co-operation, the Tornado
multi-role strike aircraft was designed to meet a 1968
specification for a two-seat Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MRCA) and
developed by the international Panavia Aircraft consortium owned
jointly by British Aerospace, Germany’s MBB and Italy’s
Aeritalia. First flown in August 1974, the twin-turbojet powered
two-seat aircraft with a variable geometry wing, entered service
with the Royal Air Force, the German Luftwaffe and Marineflieger
and the Italian Aeronautica Militare Italiana in the 1980s at the
height of the Cold War. The RAF Tornado GRs achieved 38 years of
unbroken service deployed on various conflicts with NATO allies
including operations in the Gulf, Afghanistan, the Balkans, Libya
and Syria before being withdrawn from service in 2019. German and
Italian Tornados continue anti-ISIL operations over Syria and Iraq.
A total of 940 Tornados were produced including 96 for Saudi Arabia
and Air Defence Variants, plus nine prototypes and six
pre-production aircraft. More than 200 remain in service in 2020.
Written by aviation expert David Oliver, this well-informed and
readable book, accompanied by 200 illustrations, covers the
Tornado’s development, production, service in the RAF, German,
Italian and Saudi Arabian Air forces as well as operations in the
Gulf, Afghanistan, the Balkans, Libya, Syria and Yemen.
Barack Obama, junior senator from Illinois, first captured
America's attention with his keynote address to the Democratic
National Convention in 2004. Now, as presumptive Democratic
candidate for President, Obama's superb and captivating oratory
style has earned him comparisons to John F. Kennedy and even Martin
Luther King - and on the campaign trail Obama has achieved near
rock-star status. Obama speaks on themes of race, identity,
community, and above all, his hoped-for vision of a New America.
His legions of supporters gravitate towards his unblemished
idealism. Still, as David Olive writes, "even the most ardent
supporters of Barack Obama ... might wonder at times if the
mesmerizing orator is more style than substance." Here,
interspersed with the entire text of Obama's key speeches, Olive
explores the controversies: Obama shedding his American flag lapel
pin, Reverend Wright, his anti-war stance, his strong Christian
faith, and his often racially charged remarks - and the victories:
passage for more than 280 bills in his last two years in the
Illinois state senate, his actions towards social justice, and his
remarkable rise from underdog to potential future president of the
United States. Bookended with Obama's '04 keynote at the Democratic
National Convention and "A More Perfect Union" - called the only
historic speech of this 2008 campaign - An American Story exposes
politicos, voters, and fans of Obama to the speeches that gave rise
to the current phenomenon.
Designed and produced by North American Aviation in response to a
British order for aircraft in 1940, the P-51 Mustang went on to
become one of the most successful aircraft in the Second World War
and beyond. In this fascinating book, aircraft expert David Oliver
tells the story of this innovative and adaptable aircraft, from the
early versions used by the RAF as low-level reconnaissance aircraft
to the long-range USAAF fighters that accompanied US daylight
bombers over Germany. The Mustang was also used by numerous other
air forces. The author shows how, from its inception, the Mustang
included innovative features such as a low-drag laminar-flow wing
and a low-drag engine-cooling system. Beginning with an Allison
engine, early versions of the Mustang were used by the RAF for
low-level reconnaissance missions. Later versions, fitted with the
more powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, were capable of high-level
combat missions against the best German fighters. Mustangs were
also employed in ground-attack and ‘tankbusting’ missions.
Accompanied by a wide variety of colour and black and white images,
this highly readable and informed book is an essential briefing on
a remarkable aircraft.

The Aerospatiale/Westland Gazelle is one of the longest serving and
most successful reconnaissance and light attack elicopters. The
Gazelle soon made an impression with its high speed, smooth looks
and design innovations such as the Fenestron ducted tail rotor and
composite main rotor blades. In this readable book, aviation expert
David Oliver tells the full story of the development of the Gazelle
as well as its various air force, military and naval roles and
deployments. Once Westland had joined the French helicopter
project, the Gazelle was soon adopted as a trainer by the RAF, as a
battlefield reconnaissance and attack helicopter by the Army Air
Corps and Royal Marines and as a training helicopter by the Royal
Navy. It carried out similar roles in the French armed forces and
those of other nations. As this book shows, armed variants of the
Gazelle have taken part in conflicts in the Falklands, Northern
Ireland, Lebanon, the Gulf War, former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Mali and
Syria. It has also been adapted for civilian roles. As a testament
to its success, Gazelle helicopters will continue in service with
the British and French armed forces beyond 2020. Illustrated with
lavish colour photographs, this book is an essential guide to one
of the world's most successful military and civilian helicopters.
This book describes one of the world’s longest serving and most
widely used military helicopters. Developed in the 1960s by the
Soviet Union as a fire-support helicopter, more than 2,000 have
been produced and continue in production today. Given the codename
‘Hind’ by NATO in the Cold War years, this fearsome helicopter
is also known by other names by those who have either operated it
or who had had to deal with it. The Mujahideen guerrillas described
it as the ‘Devil’s Chariot’ during its deployment to
Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion and occupation between 1979
and 1989. The Hind has also been used operationally in Chad,
Nicaragua, Angola, Chechnya, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, Mali and
Ukraine. The Hind remains in service with more than twenty
countries, including former Soviet bloc countries such as the Czech
Republic, Hungary, Poland and Serbia, which are now part of NATO.
The book covers the development of the helicopter as well as its
deployments in both the Cold War and recent and current operations.
The book is written by an acknowledged aircraft expert and
accompanied by original photography.
