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.
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.

Whereas other textbooks mix a clinical approach with large amounts
of the basic science of gastroenterology, this book concentrates on
providing practicing gastroenterologists with 100% clinically
focused, evidence-based chapters on how to correctly diagnosis and
treat all disorders of the digestive tract. Once again, the book is
divided into 4 clear parts: Symptoms, Syndromes and Scenarios;
Diseases of the Gut and Liver; Primer of Diagnostic Methods; and
Primer of Treatments. An accompanying website contains more than 85
high-definition surgical videos of diagnostic and therapeutic
endoscopic procedures, 300 MCQs written to mirror the American
College of Gastroenterology postgraduate course exams, more than 35
management protocol charts for different diseases, and 850+
illustrations for use in scientific presentations.
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.

El desarrollo del sistema nervioso es complejo y para su
comprension debe analizarse a nivel celular y molecular, integrando
cada evento que involucre la expresion genica. El proceso de
neurulacion consiste en la formacion y cierre del tubo neural, que
se lleva a cabo en las primeras etapas de la embriogenesis y es
importante estudiar los agentes que participan tanto morfogenos
como toxicos potenciales y aquellos quimicos que realizan una
funcion benefica para dicha formacion. En este libro analizamos los
procesos basicos del desarrollo embrionario hasta la neurulacion y
la participacion de la serotonina, sus transportadores y receptores
como morfogenos durante el desarrollo temprano del sistema
nervioso. Tambien se presenta una relacion de la participacion de
las vitaminas liposolubles e hidrosolubles durante la neurulacion y
finalmente se hace mencion del efecto teratogeno de agonistas y
antagonistas de los receptores a serotonina. Los conceptos que aqui
se presentan son de importancia tanto para los estudiosos de las
neurociencias, como para la poblacion general que se interese en
los aspectos que deben considerarse para prevenir defectos del tubo
neural."
