This book makes sense of complex topics by distilling them to basic
concepts. It provides normal physiology integrated with indications
for and evaluation of disease states. With a fresh clinical
approach, it helps answer reoccurring questions.

This anthology is the first sustained examination of American
involvement in World War II through an environmental lens. World
War II was a total and global war that involved the extraction,
processing, and use of vast quantities of natural resources. The
wartime military-industrial complex, the 'Arsenal of Democracy,'
experienced tremendous economic growth and technological
development, employing resources at a higher intensity than ever
before. The war years witnessed transformations in American
agriculture; the proliferation of militarized landscapes; the
popularization of chemical and pharmaceutical products; a rapid
increase in energy consumption and the development of nuclear
energy; a remaking of the nation's transportation networks; a shift
in population toward the Sunbelt and the West Coast; a vast
expansion in the federal government, in conjunction with industrial
firms; and the emergence of environmentalism. World War II
represented a quantitative and qualitative leap in resource use,
with lasting implications for American government, science,
society, health, and ecology.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is an important diagnostic test in
pulmonary medicine and cardiology. Capable of providing
significantly more information about an individual's exercise
capacity than standard exercise treadmill or 6-minute walk tests,
the test is used for a variety of purposes including evaluating
patients with unexplained exercise limitation or dyspnea on
exertion, monitoring disease progression or response to treatment,
determining fitness to undergo various surgical procedures and
monitoring the effects of training in highly fit athletes.
Introduction to Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing is a unique new
text that is ideal for trainees. It is presented in a clear,
concise and easy-to-follow manner and is capable of being read in a
much shorter time than the available texts on this topic. Chapters
describe the basic physiologic responses observed during sustained
exercise and explain how to perform and interpret these studies.
The utility of the resource is further enhanced by several sections
of actual patient cases, which provide opportunities to begin
developing test interpretation skills. Given the widespread use of
cardiopulmonary exercise testing in clinical practice, trainees in
pulmonary and critical care medicine, cardiology, sports medicine,
exercise physiology, and occasionally internal medicine, will find
Introduction to Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing to be an essential
and one of a kind reference.

Surprisingly little ink has been spilled on the final months of the
Civil War in the Carolinas, despite its fascinating cast of
characters, host of combats large and small, and its impact on the
course of the war. Now in paperback, Resisting Sherman: A
Confederate Surgeon's Journal and the Civil War in the Carolinas,
1865, by Francis Marion Robertson (edited by Thomas H. Robertson,
Jr.) fills in many of the gaps and adds tremendously to our
knowledge of this region and those troubled final days of the
Confederacy. Surgeon Francis Robertson fled Charleston with the
Confederate garrison in 1865 in an effort to stay ahead of General
Sherman's Federal army as it marched north from Savannah. The
Southern high command was attempting to assemble General Joseph E.
Johnston's force in North Carolina for a last-ditch effort to
defeat Sherman and perhaps join with General Lee in Virginia, or at
least gain better terms for surrender. Dr. Robertson, a West
Pointer, physician, professor, politician, patrician, and
Presbyterian, with five sons in the Confederate army, kept a daily
journal for the final three months of the Civil War while traveling
more than 900 miles through four states. His account looks
critically at the decisions of generals from a middle ranking
officer's viewpoint, describes army movements from a ground level
perspective, and places the military campaign within the everyday
events of average citizens suffering under the boot of war. Editor
and descendant Thomas Robertson followed in his ancestor's
footsteps, conducting exhaustive research to identify the people,
route, and places mentioned in the journal. Sidebars on a wide
variety of related issues include coverage of politics and the
Battle of Averasboro, where one of the surgeon's sons was shot. An
extensive introduction covers the military situation in and around
Charleston that led to the evacuation described so vividly by
Surgeon Robertson, and an epilogue summarizes what happened to the
diary characters after the war. Resisting Sherman is a valuable
addition to Civil War literature.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The
eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity
followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and
Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style
dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments
in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture,
architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional
works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic
operas, and more are also included. ++++The below data was compiled
