Placement of endosseous implants in the posterior maxilla is often
difficult because of a lack of supporting bone. Sinus augmentation
procedures have therefore been extensively used for the treatment
of the edentulous atrophic posterior maxilla prior to implant
placement. This book describes in detail the most widely used sinus
grafting techniques as well as some innovative variations, with
full coverage of both lateral and crestal approaches. A key aim is
to assist the practitioner in selecting the appropriate sinus
grafting technique based on the evaluation of a number of
parameters that are described in detail and codified in a simple
and practical way. Up-to-date information is also provided on
grafting materials and on potential complications of sinus
augmentation procedures and their treatment.

In 1987, a year after Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns turned
comics grim and gritty, artist Kevin Maguire proved that comics
could still be fun, with the release of the "all-new" Justice
League. His style was the perfect match for the humorous dialogue
and character-driven stories, and the unlikely series quickly
developed a large following. But the glue that held the series
together was Maguire's ability to convey emotion on the page. The
Justice League, Captain America, the X-Men, the Defenders... they
are all actors on Maguire's stage, and he directs them with the
ability of a true Modern Master. This new volume in the Modern
Masters series features a career-spanning interview and tons of
artwork, including a large gallery section featuring many rare and
unpublished sketches and finished pieces.

illustrating action have graced the pages of Amazing Spider-Man,
Iron Man, Uncanny X-Men, Daredevil, and most of the company's other
top-tier books over the course of his career. Like his father
before him, nothing can stop this Modern Master from striving for
the artistic perfection that makes the name Romita one of true
royalty in the comics industry. This new book presents a
career-spanning interview and discussion of JRJR's creative
process, complete with both rare and unseen art, including an
enormous gallery of commissioned work by one of the Modern Masters
of comics!
En 1954 paraissait l'Introduction l' itude de la papyrologie arabe
de Grohmann, dont il a donni en 1966 un grand risumi dans la sirie
"Handbuch der Orientalistik. Le second volume, c'est--dire la
Chrestomathie, ne vit malheureusement jamais le jour, du vivant de
l'auteur, qui s'est iteint en 1977.
Ce volume, prisenti ici, apporte, aprhs une introduction ginirale
sur l'histoire de sa genhse et l'ivolution de la papyrologie arabe
jusque vers 1990, un ensemble de 98 documents arabes, la plupart
sur papyrus, dont une quarantaine sont publiis pour la premihre
fois ici. Pour plus d'efficaciti et pour englober le maximum d'
aspects utiles aux chercheurs des diffirentes disciplines
intiressies, le plan initial de l'auteur a iti modifii et ilargi de
plusieurs domaines, ce qui fait que nous avons les parties
suivantes: I-Textes de protocoles: bilingues et unilingues.
II-Textes juridiques contenant des documents concernant: A-Le droit
personnel-le droit matrimonial-B-Des relations d'affaires-C-Le
droit hiriditaire-D-Les procidures judiciaires-E- Des formulaires
et esquisses de documents. III-Textes adminitratifs. IV-Lettres
privies d'affaires. Enfin un glossaire arabe-frangais-allemand, une
bibliographie et des index.
Ainsi congue, cette Chrestomathie se propose de servir comme
instrument de travail toutes les disciplines intiressies l'itude de
la vie privie, sociale et administrative des premiers sihcles
islamiques, travers des documents authentiques, dont la valeur est
d'autant plus grande, qu'ils sont souvent uniques dans leur genre,
pour l'itude de ces problhmes dans la culture arabo-islamique en
giniral. Les documents sont accompagnies d'une traduction
frangaise, et de notes ce qui enrend l'usage aisi pour les non
arabisants, comme les thiologiens, les juristes, les historiens,
les sociologues et d'autres.
Although Grohman's "Einf]hrung in die arabische Papyruskunde
appeared already in 1954 and was the subject of a major resumi in
1966 (in "Handbuch der Orientalistik), the appearance of the second
volume, which would have been the chrestomathy, was prevented by
the death of the great scholar in 1977.
The volume here on offer presents, after a general introduction
explaining the genesis of the book itself as well as the evolution
of Arabic papyrology until 1990, a corpus of 98 Arabic documents,
mostly on papyrus. About forty of these are published here for the
first time. With a view to making the work as user friendly as
possible, and to encapsulate the maximum number of areas of
potential use for interested scholars from different disciplines,
Grohman's original plan has been modified and expanded in the
following areas: I- protocol texts: mono- and bilingual. II- legal
texts, containing the following documents: A. personal and
matrimonial law. B. business documents. C. heridatory law. D. legal
cases. E. Formularies and type-documents. III- administrative
texts. IV private business letters. These are followed by an
Arabic-French-German glossary, a bibliography, and full
indices.
Conceived in this manner, this chrestomathy is intended to function
as a research tool for all disciplines concerned with the study of
the private, social, and administrative life of the first few
centuries of Islam, through the medium of original documents of
undisputed authenticity many of which have special interest even
within their own genres. Within this material much will befound of
relevance for the study of the afore mentioned areas of research
within the arabic Islamic culture. The documents are accompanied by
a French translation, and notes intended also to facilitate their
use by non-Arabists, such as theologians, legal experts,
historians, sociologists etc..
