Dental Implants and Bone Grafts: Materials and Biological Issues
brings together cutting-edge research to provide detailed coverage
of biomaterials for dental implants and bone graft, enabling
scientists and clinicians to gain a thorough knowledge of advances
and applications in this field. As tooth loss and alveolar bony
defects are common and pose a significant health problem in dental
clinics, this book deals with timely topics, including alveolar
bone structures and pathological changes, reviews of indications
and advantages of biomaterials for dental implants and bone graft,
design and surface modification, biological interaction and
biocompatibility of modern dental implants and bone graft, and new
frontiers. This book is a highly valuable resource for scientists,
clinicians and implantologists interested in biomaterial and
regenerative strategies for alveolar bone reconstruction.

This book of short stories by John Jansen, who leads a U3A creative
writing group in Cornwall, England, seeks to explore just how short
a short story can be. The essential elements of characterisation,
intriguing situations, multiple possibilities and an unexpected
resolution, can be fitted into a bite-sized tale. Nonsense verse
revels in the joy of language, tortured rhymes and surreal images
which appeal to the child in all of us.
Driven by a fascination with the concept of an ancient nation
reborn in my life time, I set out to explore Israel/Palestine,
ancient and modern. After wintering on a kibbutz, I set out,
firstly south to Eilat, then into occupied Sinai and the fledgling
resort of Sharm el Sheik before turning north to the Sea of
Galilee, Haifa and the Golan Heights. This being 1973, I witnessed
the Twenty Fifth Anniversary of the founding of the modern state.
These humorous adventures, inspired by the writings of P. G.
Wodehouse, tell how Teddy Aston, the nephew of Lord and Lady
Alpington, leads a life of luxurious idleness, ably supported by
his valet, Budworth, in between-the-wars England. Betting, country
house weekends, avoiding marriage and indoor rugby at the infamous
Sloths Club are his main activities. But why is his fearsome Aunt
Amelia, Lady Alpington, so anxious to find him a rich bride before
his thirtieth birthday? And why do the New York Mafia regard him as
a person to be treated with respect? Only Budworth knows the
answers!
