This second edition comes at a time of a paradigm shift in
understanding of the molecular pathology and neuroscience of brain
and spinal tumors of childhood and their mechanisms of growth
within the developing brain. Excellent collaborative translational
networks of researchers are starting to drive change in clinical
practise through the need to test many ideas in trials and
scientific initiatives. This text reflects the growing concern to
understand the impact of the tumour and its treatment upon the full
functioning of the child's developing brain and to integrate the
judgments of the risks of acquiring brain damage with the risk of
death and the consequences for the quality of life for those who
survive. Information on the principles of treatment has been
thoroughly updated. A chapter also records the extraordinary work
done by advocates. All medical and allied professionals involved in
any aspect of the clinical care of these patients will find this
book an invaluable resource.
David A. Walker tells the story of the opening of the last iron-
ore frontier in the United States on the Vermilion, Mesabi, and
Cuyuna ranges of Minnesota--the nation's largest ore deposits.
Walker explores the formative years from the 1880s to the early
1900s in the development of the state's mining industry, the "iron
men" it produced, the new towns it spawned, and the railroads it
built to transport the new-found wealth to growing ports on Lake
Superior. Drawing on manuscripts, newspaper accounts, and business
and financial records, Walker's study provides an economic history
of an industry whose dimensions reached far beyond the borders of
Minnesota.
