Vascular Liver Disease: Mechanisms and Management covers all of the
disease entities that stem from abnormalities that affect the
hepatic vasculature. This multi-authored text includes the
mechanisms and management of intrahepatic vascular disease,
including the most common cause of vascular disease of the liver,
cirrhosis. Other less common diseases of the liver vasculature are
also covered such as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (previously
known as veno-occlusive disease), portal vein thrombosis, the
Budd-Chiari syndrome and congenital vascular malformations. These
entities, although rare, are a challenge to physicians and
physician scientists. Although many textbooks have been written on
the consequences of cirrhosis on the liver vasculature, this is the
only volume that focuses on the liver vasculature as a separate
entity, providing an innovative approach to liver disease
management. Vascular Liver Disease: Mechanisms and Management will
be of great value to clinical investigators and basic scientists
interested in the liver circulation as well as clinical
gastroenterologists and hepatologists, hepatobiliary surgeons and
transplant surgeons, and to interventional radiologists with a
particular interest in the liver.
What is the significance of the visual representation of
revolution? How is history articulated through public images? How
can these images communicate new histories of struggle? Imprints of
Revolution highlights how revolutions and revolutionary moments are
historically constructed and locally contextualized through the
visual. It explores a range of spatial and temporal formations to
illustrate how movements are articulated, reconstituted, and
communicated. The collective work illustrates how the visual serves
as both a mobilizing and demobilizing force in the wake of
globalization. Radical performances, cultural artefacts,
architectural and fashion design as well as social and print media
are examples of the visual mediums analysed as alternative archives
that propose new understandings of revolution. The volume
illustrates how revolution remains significant in visually
communicating and articulating social change with the ability to
transform our contemporary understanding of local, national, and
transnational spaces and processes.

Inspired by a terrifying true story, acclaimed author Guadalupe
Garcia McCall creates a twisty tale about a boy desperately trying
to survive in a new town with a secret past. James always knew
moving from Texas to Oregon was going to be horrible.. But no
sooner have he and his family arrived in their "perfect" new home
in their "perfect" new town than he starts getting mysterious
letters from someone called the Keeper. Someone who claims to be
watching him. Someone who is looking for "young blood." James and
his sister, Ava, are obviously in danger. But the problem with
having a history of playing practical jokes is that no one believes
James-not even his parents. Now James and Ava need to figure out
who is sending the letters before they become the next victims in
their neighborhood's long history of missing children. Because one
thing is clear: Uncovering the truth about the Keeper is the only
thing that will keep them alive.
One of the earliest and most important port cities in the New
World, Havana quickly became a model for the planning and
construction of other colonial cities. Beyond the Walled City tells
the story of how Havana was conceived, built, and managed.
Examining imperial efforts to police urban space from the late
sixteenth century onward, Guadalupe Garcia shows how the production
of urban space was explicitly centered on the politics of racial
exclusion and social control. Connecting colonial governing
practices to broader debates on urbanization, the regulation of
public spaces, and the racial dislocation of urban populations,
Beyond the Walled City points to the ways in which colonialism is
inscribed on modern topographies.
