Endovascular neurosurgery is a recently introduced but rapidly
evolving medical field, which uses minimally invasive interventions
to treat major life-threatening vascular lesions of the Central
Nervous System. Although its history counts less than 15 years of
worldwide acceptance, it has rapidly displaced the traditional open
neurosurgical techniques, being nowadays the first treatment choice
for brain aneurysms and vascular malformations. Thus, the
experience of each neuroendovascular center and performer is
invaluable, offering the base for learning and teaching the new
generation of interventionalists as well as for the evolvement of
the method itself. This book presents the basic principles of
endovascular neurosurgery starting from clinical cases. Through
this close-to-clinical-reality-process, the reader will be able to
more thoroughly understand the pathophysiology of the brain and
spine vascular lesions as well as the decision-making strategy,
related to the indications, endovascular methods and results,
finding suggestions and solutions to his/her clinical questions and
problems. Besides chapters devoted to CNS vascular embryology and
anatomy, clinical cases organized in groups based on the treated
lesions are introduced: ruptured and unruptured cerebral aneurysms
of the anterior and posterior circulation, side-wall and
bifurcation aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVM), dural
arteriovenous fistulae (dAVF), arterial stenosis and angioplasty as
well as spinal vascular lesions. A separate chapter is devoted to
the organization and necessary equipment of the angio room and the
department offering neuroendovascular service. This volume will be
of interest to neurosurgeons, interventional neuroradiologists,
vascular surgeons, neurologists and ICU physicians as well as
health care providers who are involved in the diagnosis and
management of the vascular lesions of the brain and spine.
This volume discusses theory, philosophy, praxis and methods in
Environmental and Ecological education, and considers the junction
with the main visions and issues of Critical Pedagogy. The volume
and its separate chapters address four axes, which can also be seen
as the guidelines of the content as well as the central objectives
of the book. The first axis concerns the missing theoretical and
practical pieces at this point in time. The volume considers the
issues that are not included in contemporary Environmental
Education, and thus, deprive it from critical orientations. This
implies that in Environmental Education, very little discussion
exists about the political, economic, racial, gender and class
issues that in most cases govern the actions of leaders and
stake-holders. The second axis concerns what has been done so far
and in what directions. This involves descriptions of theoretical
approaches or actual applied methodologies in the classroom, such
as curricula or syllabus used or the kind of actions certain
educators have taken to infuse the issues of justice and critical
reflection within the Environmental Education teaching agenda. The
third axis examines proposals. It looks at ways to enrich domains
of Environmental Education with the argumentations of Critical
Pedagogy. The fourth axis concerns the way in which proposals can
be effectuated. This part contains specific methodologies and
teaching sequences, depicting ways of including major aspects of
Critical Pedagogy and Critical Education in Environmental
Education. Examples are: Non-anthropocentric ecological approaches
in the classroom, political activism in the Curricula, mixture of
field activities and political activities.

Unmanned Aerial Systems in Agriculture: Eyes Above Fields bridges
the gap between knowledge of concept and real-world use and
operations of UASs in agri-production. Based on a valuable
combination of themes presented at the 13th European Federation for
Information Technology in Agriculture, Food and the Environment
(EFITA) and supplemented by targeted invited articles of
key-scientists, this book presents a full-spectrum view of the use
of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for agricultural applications. It
integrates dispersed knowledge in the field, providing a holistic
approach regarding UAVs and other UAS and their use in sustainable
decisions. The integrated approach of the book provides a fresh
look on contemporary agriculture-related issues, following
precision farming approaches, by educating on a range of different
issues of remote sensing and its use in agriculture. Furthermore,
the operational planning aspects for UAS in agriculture focus part
of the book provides information that is missing from other
resources.
My Yoga Time offers a corresponding manual to the My Yoga Time DVD
Volume 1. The manual provides a detailed reference for each asana
practiced in the Volume 1 classes. The booklet and DVD combined is
intended to enhance one's awareness of what is happening on all
levels, bridging the gap between the physical, metaphysical and
spiritual. A reference guide for one's evolving practice. The first
part of the booklet discusses the physical benefits, both
externally and internally (over the body's systems), also providing
further details on alignment. While the second part of the booklet
investigates the subtle (energetic) body, prana and metaphysics.
