Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with "on the go", at a highly affordable price that puts them within reach of those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment. Topics reflect information needs stemming from today’s integrated undergraduate & foundation courses: Common investigations (ECG, imaging, etc) Clinical skills (surface anatomy, patient examination, etc.) Clinical specialties that students perceive as too small to merit a textbook (psychiatry, renal medicine)

Thirty years ago, ecstasy and torment took hold of John Rivers, shocking him out of "half-baked imbecility into something more nearly resembling the human form." He had an affair with the wife of his mentor, Henry Maartens--a pathbreaking physicist, winner of the Nobel Prize, and a figure of blinding brilliance--bringing the couple to ruin. Now, on Christmas Eve while a small grandson sleeps upstairs, John Rivers is moved to set the record straight about the great man and the radiant, elemental creature he married, who viewed the renowned genius through undazzled eyes.

Americans have long had a rich if complicated relationship with France. They adore all things French, especially food and fashion. They visit the country and learn the language. Historically, Americans have also been quick to blame France at certain times of international crisis, and find fault with their handling of domestic issues. Despite ups and downs, the friendship between the countries remains very strong. The author explains the strength of Franco-American relations lies in the diplomatic ties that extend back to the founding of the United States, but more importantly, in the French DNA that is imprinted on American culture. The French were the first Europeans to settle the regions now known as Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas-and Frenchman remained in Louisiana after the land was purchased by the United States. This book explores the effects that France has had on American culture, and why modern Americans of French descent are so fascinated by their ancestry.

Today s automotive industry places high demands on the performance and flexibility of development strategies and tools. With constant need for reduction in cost and time for engineering-based development new engineering methods have to support a smart link between the working fields of project engineers, designers, simulation engineers, ergonomic specialists, stylists and all other involved parties. Currently, automotive development is driven by the interaction of virtual design and simulation methods in combination with physical development and testing procedures. The trend is definitely moving towards integrated virtual development which leads to intensified implementation and enhancement of integrated computer-aided design. The book starts with an overview of automotive development processes including a discussion of the manifold past and future requirements. Focusing on computer-aided design, a comprehensive overview of fundamentals in geometry representation gives keen insight into mathematical description and modeling techniques of geometrical elements. The generation and structuring of virtual product models within 3D-CAD environment by use of curve, surface and solid modeling is explained in detail and illustrated by various examples. On the basis of parametric geometry generation different methods and tools which are able to increase efficiency in automotive development are explained and compared. Complex assembling, as usual in automotive development, requires the composition and organization of multifarious product structures. This way, knowledge and engineering data management play an important role within the field. Combining the demands of integrated design processes and efficient data management, the application of knowledge based engineering data management is introduced and discussed. A selection of representative applications give insights into the complex interactions of computer-aided design, knowledge based engineering and data management. It is up to the engineers to tap the full potential of virtual product development, whereas the applied methods and strategies represent a key factor on the way to successful creation of new products. The book is directed, but not restricted, to professional project and design engineers as well as to students of the respective disciplines in mechanical engineering. At the same time it caters to whoever is interested in interactions of state of the art computer-aided development.

Stories about border crossers, illegal aliens, refugees that regularly appear in the press everywhere point to the crucial role national identity plays in human beings' lives today. The National Habitus seeks to understand how and why national belonging became so central to a person's identity and sense of identity. Centered on the acquisition of the national habitus, the process that transforms subjects into citizens when a state becomes a nation-state, the book examines this transformation at the individual level in the case of nineteenth century France. Literary texts serve as primary material in this study of national belonging, because, as Germaine de Stael pointed out long ago, literature has the unique ability to provide access to "inner feelings." The term "habitus," in the title of this book, signals a departure from traditional approaches to nationalism, a break with the criteria of language, race, and ethnicity typically used to examine it. It is grounded instead in a sociology that deals with the subjective dimension of life and is best exemplified by the works of Norbert Elias (1897-1990) and Pierre Bourdieu (1931-2002), two sociologists who approach belief systems like nationalism from a historical, instead of an ethical vantage point. By distinguishing between two groups of major French writers, three who experienced the 1789 Revolution firsthand as adults (Olympe de Gouges, Francois Rene de Chateaubriand and Germaine de Stael) and three who did not (Stendhal, Prosper Merimee, and George Sand), the book captures evolving understandings of the nation, as well as thoughts and emotions associated with national belonging over time. Le Hir shows that although none of these writers is typically associated with nationalism, all of them were actually affected by the process of nationalization of feelings, thoughts, and habits, irrespective of aesthetic preferences, social class, or political views. By the end of the nineteenth century, they had learned to feel and view themselves as French nationals; they all exhibited the characteristic features of the national habitus: love of their own nation, distrust and/or hatred of other nations. By underscoring the dual contradictory nature of the national habitus, the book highlights the limitations nation-based identities impose on the prospect for peace.

Poems and tales of a literary forefather of the United Arab Emirates Love, Death, Fame features the poetry of al-M�yidī ibn Ẓ�hir, who has been embraced as the earliest poet in what would later become the United Arab Emirates. Although little is known about his life, he is the subject of a sizeable body of folk legend and is thought to have lived in the seventeenth century, in the area now called the Emirates. The tales included in Love, Death, Fame portray him as a witty, resourceful, scruffy poet, at times combative and at times kindhearted. His poetry primarily features verses of wisdom and romance, with scenes of clouds and rain, desert migrations, seafaring, and pearl diving. Like Arabian Romantic and Arabian Satire, this collection is a prime example of Nabaṭī poetry, combining vernacular language of the Arabian Peninsula with archaic vocabulary and images dating to Arabic poetry’s very origins. Distinguished by Ibn Ẓ�hir’s unique voice, Love, Death, Fame offers a glimpse of what life was like four centuries ago in the region that is now the UAE. An English-only edition.
