The neurologic subspecialty of Movement Disorders is complicated
with many different entities, making the differential diagnosis
difficult. One of the most important aspects of these different
entities is their visual appearance. Still photographs do not give
sufficient information, but videos like the ones included in this
volume can provide dimension, context, and critical information.
The variety of visual appearances is wide and seeing many videos is
necessary to develop skill in making a diagnosis. Involuntary
movements are even more complicated and the adage "seeing is
believing" has never been more true. Despite this, few books
include videos portraying involuntary movements. Involuntary
Movements: Classification and Video Atlas pairs descriptions of the
clinical features of various involuntary movements with video
depictions of the involuntary movements in action. In a unique
approach, this book considers two aspects of the diagnosis of
involuntary movements: the phenomenology - as depicted in
approximately 200 video supplements - and the etiology. The book
also discusses the current consensus on the classification,
pathophysiology, and treatment of each involuntary movement.
Written in an easy-to-follow quick reference format, This highly
useful text provides a series of 100 patient case studies need to
care for patients with movement disorders. Radiology images,
histopathology, and patient photographs are presented in full
color. Each disorder will follow the flowing quick reference
format: history examination discussion teaching points
A bonus DVD includes video-clips of each patient, in a high
quality video rendering format, that examine their corresponding
movement disorder. Organized numerically to coincide with the books
easy-to-follow format, the DVD also includes captions and key
talking points added to the video clips that enable the busy
neurologist to reference information even faster.

In Nurnberg, as in other German cities, the SA (or stormtroopers)
was the most visible Nazi organisation prior to the seizure of
power by Hitler in 1933. This book looks in close detail at the
development of the SA from its inception in 1922 until its
overthrow by Hitler in 1934. More than a history of marches and
violent encounters, the book analyses why, in a heavily
industrialized city where the forces of democracy initially enjoyed
strong support, a growing number of men from virtually every group
of society decided to become members of the SA. Drawing from the
biographical data of more than 350 stormtroopers and from extensive
research in German archives, Professor Reiche reveals both the
significance of the First World War and peer pressure, as well as
the impact of the Great Depression, on the growth of the SA.
In this detailed and meticulously researched account of the life
and work of Charles Michell, the first surveyor-general and civil
engineer of the South African Cape Colony, author Gordon Richings
examines in depth, the many interests and achievements of the man,
as well as the essence of the time in which he lived, by referring
to unpublished personal diaries, sketchbooks and letters. Born in
Exeter, Devon in 1793, Michell showed artistic talent at a young
age, but due to family circumstances, joined the British Army and
served with distinction in the Napoleonic Wars in Portugal. He came
to the Cape in 1829 and for the next twenty years played a crucial
role in opening up the Cape interior to economic development and
expansion, by designing roads, bridges and mountain passes,
including Sir Lowry's, the Houw Hoek, Montagu and Michell's Passes.
He also suggested improvements to Table Bay Harbour and designed
lighthouses at Mouille Point, Cape Agulhas and Cape Recife in an
effort to protect shipping along the Cape's notorious coastline.
This first biography of Charles Michell is lavishly illustrated
with his sketches, watercolours and engravings of Cape scenery,
plants, insects and rock paintings, as well as Cape personalities,
maps of the colony and architectural plans - the majority of which
are published for the first time. New light is shed on the
socio-economic life at the Cape, particularly the Tsitsikamma
region of the southern Cape, the Frontier War of 1834-35, as well
as on the personalities of Michell's colleagues and contemporaries
in England and at the Cape.
