This book encompasses many different diagnoses as well as several specialties of practicing surgeons in the United States. Over the last ten years many advances have been made in preoperative assessment including imaging and diagnostic techniques, operative approaches including "minimally invasive" and robotic surgery, and post operative care. Controversies in Thyroid Surgery explores some of the controversies that arise as the result of these new findings and applications. The book is divided into the two categories of benign diagnosis and cancer topics. Both of these areas lend themselves to separate analysis of specific problems in the areas mentioned above. The text reviews recent data about advances in diagnostic techniques as well as outcomes with specific regards to the newer operative techniques. The textbook will serve as a resource for medical and surgical colleagues involved in the treatment of a wide variety of thyroid diseases. Authors that are experts in their field and have published extensively provide balanced and non-biased views of topics that are admittedly controversial. Controversies in Thyroid Surgery will be of great value and utility to practicing endocrinologists, general surgeons and otolaryngologists.

Bear Family's GONNA SHAKE THIS SHACK TONIGHT series focuses on the most uptempo, honky-tonkin' (sometimes rockabilly-tinged) tunes in the catalogs of various country heroes. Tackling the career of the ultimate country icon, this volume digs into Hank Williams' work and turns up both fun, freewheeling tunes like "Roly Poly" and intense, hard-hitting tracks like "You're Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave)." It also displays Williams' broad stylistic range, venturing into tunes with touches of Western swing and proto-rockabilly in addition to the expected honky-tonk songs. A few posthumously overdubbed (by members of Williams' original band) rockabilly tracks add an interesting historical perspective to the proceedings as well.

This successful Western history version of the popular Discovering series provides a broad range of both visual and written sources. The unique framework includes The Problem, Sources and Method, The Evidence, Questions to Consider, and Epilogue and Evaluation sections in each chapter. This structure encourages critical thinking, helps you sharpen important analytical skills, and makes the subject matter more interesting-as well as easier to grasp. The text emphasizes historical study as interpretation rather than memorization of data, with actual documents and artifacts from which you will develop answers to historical questions-and learn to think like a historian.
