features a highly visual atlas format to illustrate exactly how to
perform each technique. This medical reference walks you through
each procedure, step-by-step, to safely and efficiently relieve
patients' pain. This book presents an algorithmic, image-guided
approach for each technique; trajectory view (demonstrates
fluoroscopic "setup"); multiplanar confirmation views (AP, lateral,
oblique); and "safety view" (what should be avoided during
injection), along with optimal and suboptimal contrast patterns.
Each fluoroscopic and ultrasound chapter also has the same "voice"
so it is easy to follow. Safely and efficiently relieve your
patients' pain with consistent, easy-to-follow chapters that guide
you through each technique. Presents an algorithmic, image-guided
approach for each technique: trajectory view (demonstrates
fluoroscopic "setup"); multiplanarconfirmation views (AP, lateral,
oblique); and "safety view" (what should be avoided during
injection), along with optimal and suboptimal contrast patterns.

Fluoroscopic and Ultrasound Imaging Pearls, Radiation Safety, and
L5-S1 Disc Access provide additional visual instruction. View
drawings of radiopaque landmarks and key radiolucent anatomy that
cannot be viewed fluoroscopically. Videos including procedural
"set-up" and optimal and suboptimal constrast flow are available in
the Expert Consult eBook version. Includes new unique and diagrams
demonstrating cervical, thoracic and lumbar radiofrequency probe
placement and treatment zones on multiplanar views, as well as new
unique tables and examples differentiating between optimal and
suboptimal epidural contrast flow Features new coverage of
ultrasound techniques, as well as new presentation of procedures
for "spine masqueraders" such as the hip and shoulder. Expert

This book examines the early American cotton industry through
British perspectives. The book covers the period from the 1780s to
1880, and concerns mainly Lancashire and New England, although
there are many references to Scotland on the one hand, and to
Pennsylvania and New York on the other. By concentrating on the
spinning branch of the industry, which was far more affected by
technological advances than the weaving branch during this period,
Cohen is able to contrast different types of technologies, workers,
markets, and goods. For example, the book contrasts how American
industrialists acted differently than the British millowners and
deals with the response of American factory workers to
industrialization as distinct from the British operatives. Three
interrelated themes emerge to define the theoretical subject matter
of this study: mass production versus craft production, technology
and organization, and craft control. Significantly, this study
recognizes the often overlooked importance of mule spinning to the
industry. The volume examines the craft workers' rise to and
struggle for power, the rise of the foreman, the role of unions,
and an exploration of strikes--how they happened, why they
happened, and what happened because of them. In the final chapter,
the book expands its focus to examine the relationship of cotton to
the coal, iron, and steel industries.
Indonesia, with its mix of ethnic cultures, cosmopolitan ethos, and
strong national ideology, offers a useful lens for examining the
intertwining of tradition and modernity in globalized Asia. In
Inventing the Performing Arts, Matthew Isaac Cohen explores the
profound change in diverse arts practices from the nineteenth
century until 1949. He demonstrates that modern modes of
transportation and communication not only brought the Dutch colony
of Indonesia into the world economy, but also stimulated the
emergence of new art forms and modern attitudes to art, disembedded
and remoored traditions, and hybridized foreign and local. In the
nineteenth century, access to novel forms of entertainment, such as
the circus, and newspapers, which offered a new language of
representation and criticism, wrought fundamental changes in
theatrical, musical, and choreographic practices. Musical drama
disseminated print literature to largely illiterate audiences
starting in the 1870s, and spoken drama in the 1920s became a
vehicle for exploring social issues. Twentieth-century
institutions-including night fairs, the recording industry,
schools, itinerant theatre, churches, cabarets, round-the-world
cruises, and amusement parks-generated new ways of making,
consuming, and comprehending the performing arts. Concerned over
the loss of tradition and ""Eastern"" values, elites codified folk
arts, established cultural preservation associations, and
experimented in modern stagings of ancient stories. Urban
nationalists excavated the past and amalgamated ethnic cultures in
dramatic productions that imagined the Indonesian nation. The
Japanese occupation (1942-1945) was brief but significant in
cultural impact: plays, songs, and dances promoting
anti-imperialism, Asian values, and war-time austerity measures
were created by Indonesian intellectuals and artists in
collaboration with Japanese and Korean civilian and military
personnel. Artists were registered, playscripts censored, training
programs developed, and a Cultural Center established. Based on
more than two decades of archival study in Indonesia, Europe, and
the United States, this richly detailed, meticulously researched
book demonstrates that traditional and modern artistic forms were
created and conceived, that is ""invented,"" in tandem. Intended as
a general historical introduction to the performing arts in
Indonesia, it will be of great interest to students and scholars of
Indonesian performance, Asian traditions and modernities, global
arts and culture, and local heritage.
