Designed for trainees at all levels, ENT and Head and Neck
Procedures: An Operative Guide provides concise, step-by-step
instructions to the core otolaryngology, head and neck, and facial
plastics procedures that surgeons are likely to encounter in daily
practice. Convenient and portable, this guide provides enough
information to allow trainees to perform the operations themselves
under appropriate supervision. Concise surgical steps for each
procedure are followed by detailed explanations. Clear diagrams and
photographs demonstrate the important stages of each operation.
Surgeons' tips bridge the gap between the theory and what actually
works on the operating table. The book also includes an easy
reference table of complications that should be discussed with the
patient when obtaining consent. The authors have used their wealth
of experience to write a practical guide that that will give
trainees the skills as well as the confidence they will need in the
surgical arena.
Here, for the first time in English, is celebrated French
classicist Jacques Jouanna's magisterial account of the life and
work of Sophocles. Exhaustive and authoritative, this acclaimed
book combines biography and detailed studies of Sophocles' plays,
all set in the rich context of classical Greek tragedy and the
political, social, religious, and cultural world of Athens's
greatest age, the fifth century. Sophocles was the commanding
figure of his day. The author of Oedipus Rex and Antigone, he was
not only the leading dramatist but also a distinguished politician,
military commander, and religious figure. And yet the evidence
about his life has, until now, been fragmentary. Reconstructing a
lost literary world, Jouanna has finally assembled all the
available information, culled from inscriptions, archaeological
evidence, and later sources. He also offers a huge range of new
interpretations, from his emphasis on the significance of
Sophocles' political and military offices (previously often seen as
honorary) to his analysis of Sophocles' plays in the mythic and
literary context of fifth-century drama. Written for scholars,
students, and general readers, this book will interest anyone who
wants to know more about Greek drama in general and Sophocles in
particular. With an extensive bibliography and useful summaries not
only of Sophocles' extant plays but also, uniquely, of the
fragments of plays that have been partially lost, it will be a
standard reference in classical studies for years to come.
Bridget is a young woman with a lot of enemies. Many people have
strong reasons for wanting her dead. But was she the intended
victim of the fire that killed her husband and baby son, in a
respectable street in Cornwall? Detective Inspector Sharon
Richardson thinks she was. Robert Trevelyan, her sergeant,
disagrees. Their methods are different and bring them into conflict
with each other, which hampers the investigation. Sharon and Robert
both have traumatic reasons for leaving London and coming to
Cornwall, but they refuse to confide in each other. The list of
suspects is long and getting longer. Time is running out. Having
failed to kill Bridget will the killer try again?
