Blood Supply of Bone: Scientific Aspects provides a comprehensive
description of the development and physiology of blood supply to
the skeleton. Investigative techniques for different types of bone
in the body are discussed and the effects of disturbed circulation
and the vascular control of osteogenesis is described. This highly
illustrated and authoritative volume contains much revised material
and many new illustrations reflecting 25 years of advances in this
research field since the publication of its well-known precursor in
1971. The wealth of information will not only be invaluable to
orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and radiologists but also
pathologists, sports medicine specialists and bone metabolism
research workers.
Detroit has come to symbolise deindustrialization and the
challenges, and opportunities, it presents. As many cities struggle
with urban decline, racial and ethnic tensions and the consequences
of neoliberal governance and political fragmentation, Detroit's
relevance grows stronger. Why Detroit Matters bridges academic and
non-academic responses to this extreme example of a fractured and
divided, post-industrial city. Contributions from many of the
leading scholars on Detroit are joined by influential writers,
planners, artists and activists who have contributed chapters
drawing on their experiences and ideas. The book concludes with
interviews with some of the city's most important visionaries who
are engaged in inspiring practices which provide powerful lessons
for Detroit and other cities around the world. The book will be a
valuable reference for scholars, practitioners and students from
across disciplines including geography, planning, architecture,
sociology, urban studies, history, American studies, and economics.

you can't compete. The secret is "Playing Bigger Than You Are."""

While browsing a Stonington, Maine, bookstore, Brooke Williams
and Terry Tempest Williams discovered a rare copy of an exquisite
autobiography by nineteenth-century British nature writer Richard
Jefferies, who develops his understanding of a "soul-life" while
wandering the wild countryside of Wiltshire, England. Brooke and
Terry, like John Fowles, Henry Miller, and Rachel Carson before,
were inspired by the prescient words of this visionary writer, who
describes ineffable feelings of being at one with nature. In an
introduction and essays set alongside Jefferies' writing, the
Williams share their personal pilgrimage to Wiltshire to understand
this man of "cosmic consciousness" and how their exploration of
Jefferies deepened their own relationship while illuminating
dilemmas of modernity, the intrinsic need for wildness, and what it
means to be human in the twenty-first century.
Terry Tempest Williams is the author of fourteen books including
"Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place" and "When Women
Were Birds." Recipient of numerous fellowships and awards, she
teaches at Dartmouth and the University of Utah where she is the
Annie Clark Tanner scholar in the environmental humanities graduate
program. Her work has been anthologized and translated
worldwide.
Brooke Williams has spent thirty years advocating for wildness,
most recently with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance and as
executive director of the Murie Center in Moose, Wyoming. He is the
author of four books including "Halflives: Reconciling Work and
Wildness," and dozens of articles. Brooke and Terry have been
married since 1975. They live with their dogs in Jackson, Wyoming,
and Castle Valley, Utah.
Praise for Terry Tempest Williams' "When Women Were Birds"

Francisco Chronicle"
Praise for Brooke Williams' "Halflives: Reconciling Work and
Wildness"
..".a compact yet breathtaking treatise." --"Publishers

State Jesse White; Senator Carol Moseley Braun; and John Thomas,
the first African American to serve in the Illinois General
Assembly. This research can be readily used by students, scholars,
and the general public.
"World Out of Balance" is the most comprehensive analysis to
date of the constraints on the United States' use of power in
pursuit of its security interests. Stephen Brooks and William
Wohlforth overturn conventional wisdom by showing that in a
unipolar system, where the United States is dominant in the scales
of world power, the constraints featured in international relations
theory are generally inapplicable. In fact, the authors argue that
the U.S. will not soon lose its leadership position; rather, it
stands before a twenty-year window of opportunity for reshaping the
international system.
Although American primacy in the world is unprecedented,
analysts routinely stress the limited utility of such preeminence.
The authors examine arguments from each of the main international
relations theories--realism, institutionalism, constructivism, and
liberalism. They also cover the four established external
constraints on U.S. security policy--international institutions,
economic interdependence, legitimacy, and balancing. The prevailing
view is that these external constraints conspire to undermine the
value of U.S. primacy, greatly restricting the range of security
policies the country can pursue. Brooks and Wohlforth show that, in
actuality, the international environment does not tightly constrain
U.S. security policy. "World Out of Balance" underscores the need
for an entirely new research agenda to better understand the
contours of international politics and the United States' place in
the world order.
