Anaesthetists require a particularly specialized knowledge of
anatomy The anaesthetist must know intimately the respiratory
passages, the major veins and the peripheral nerves to deliver safe
and effective pain control. As one of the great teachers of
anatomy, Professor Harold Ellis is eminently qualified to elegantly
provide the anatomical detail required of anaesthetists. Modern
approaches to practice, including the use of imaging to guide
anaesthetic practice, add further depth to the fine full-colour
anatomical illustrations. Designed for anaesthetists, Anatomy for
Anaesthetists covers: The Respiratory Pathway, Lungs, Thoracic Wall
and Diaphragm The Heart and Great Veins of the Neck The Peripheral
Nerves The Autonomic Nervous System The Cranial Nerves The Anatomy
of Pain Clinical Notes throughout provide the clinical context for
the anatomical detail. Designed for trainees, but of continuing
relevance to practicing anaesthetists, and now in its Golden
Jubilee edition, Anatomy for Anaesthetists provides a central
pillar of anaesthetic knowledge.

Sexual Inversion was the first English medical textbook about
homosexuality. It had a chequered publishing history, going through
five editions between 1896 and 1915. This edition, with a long
critical introduction, places the book in its intellectual and
social contexts, and considers the historiography surrounding this
important work.

Sixty-six years ago the Catholic Worker movement began with the
opening of a shared apartment as a house of hospitality and the
selling of the Catholic Worker newspaper for a penny a copy in
Union Square. It began amidst the Great Depression with millions
out of work and the foundation of American capitalism crumbling.
Most of all, however, the Catholic Worker began with the meeting of
two persons: Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin. Their meeting was the
effective beginning of the Catholic Worker movement and remains to
this day the source of its inspiration. In this diary, Marc H.
Ellis recounts his spiritual journey among the poor in New York
City in the early 1970s. What he witnessed at the Catholic Worker
continues to increase in our world today: homelessness,
destitution, and other forms of poverty. Yet the spiritual life he
experienced is even more real today as well - commitment, hope, and
faith among the poor.
Desert Borderland investigates the historical processes that
transformed political identity in the easternmost reaches of the
Sahara Desert in the half century before World War I. Adopting a
view from the margins—illuminating the little-known history of
the Egyptian–Libyan borderland—the book challenges prevailing
notions of how Egypt and Libya were constituted as modern
territorial nation-states. Matthew H. Ellis draws on a wide array
of archival sources to reconstruct the multiple layers and meanings
of territoriality in this desert borderland. Throughout the
decades, a heightened awareness of the existence of distinctive
Egyptian and Ottoman Libyan territorial spheres began to develop
despite any clear-cut boundary markers or cartographic evidence.
National territoriality was not simply imposed on Egypt's
western—or Ottoman Libya's eastern—domains by centralizing
state power. Rather, it developed only through a complex and
multilayered process of negotiation with local groups motivated by
their own local conceptions of space, sovereignty, and political
belonging. By the early twentieth century, distinctive "Egyptian"
and "Libyan" territorial domains emerged—what would ultimately
become the modern nation-states of Egypt and Libya.
Revolutionary Forgivenessis a startling series of essays
challenging the prevailing sensibilities of both Jews and
Christians. In the call for accountability and commitment, Ellis
asks whether the current boundaries that Jews and Christians claim
continue to provide the foundations for faith and the embrace of
the covenant.

Turmoil still grips the Middle East, and fear can still paralyze
post-9/11 America. The comforts and challenges of this book are
thus as timely as when it was first published in 1987. With new
reflections on the future of Judaism and Israel, Ellis underscores
the enduring problem of justice. Ellis' use of liberation theology
to make connections between the Holocaust and contemporary
communities from the Third World reminds both Jews and oppressed
Christians that they share common ground in the experiences of
abandonment, suffering, and death. The connections also reveal that
Jews and Christians share a common cause in the battle against
idolatry - represented now by obsessions for personal affluence,
national security, and ethnic survival. According to Ellis, Jews
and Christians must never allow the reality of anti-Semitism to
become an excuse for evading solidarity with the oppressed peoples
- be they African, Asian, Latin American or, especially,
Palestinian.
