This volume contains the papers presented at the Seventh
International Symposium on Acoustical Imaging and Holography. The
meeting was held in Chicago, Illinois U.S.A. on August 30 -
September 1, 1976. Since 1967 this series of conferences has served
as an international forum for bringing together the many different
facets of the ultrasonic visualization field. Medical diagnosis,
nondestructive testing, underwater viewing, seismic the mapping,
and acoustic analytical microscopy are examples of broad range
applications of this technology. Throughly broad in scope, the
common denominator that binds this volume together is the
application of engineering and physics disciplines to the creation
of images by means of ultrasonic waves. Efforts on the part of the
program committe and their institutions are greatly appreciated,

The majority of young people in the American juvenile justice
system have diagnosable mental illnesses, including substance
abuse, mental retardation and learning disorders. However, these
often remain undetected and untreated. In this book, a team of
experts examines the prevalence of mental disorders in this
population and describes the means of screening for, diagnosing,
and treating them effectively in a developmentally appropriate,
culturally sensitive manner. They also examine psychopharmacologic
and psychotherapeutic approaches; innovative alternatives to
detention; the true costs of detaining youth; vulnerability to
self-incrimination; and the alarming trend of minority confinement.
Their comprehensive coverage includes discussion of ethical
dilemmas and the need for preventive strategies and integrated
approaches involving judicial, law enforcement, educational, and
mental health professionals. This book will be of interest to both
mental health and juvenile justice professionals.
Across the nine thematic chapters of Experiencing Medieval Art,
renowned art historian Herbert L. Kessler considers functional
objects as well as paintings and sculptures; the circumstances,
processes, and materials of production; the conflictual
relationship between art objects and notions of an ineffable deity;
the context surrounding medieval art; and questions of
apprehension, aesthetics, and modern presentation. He also
introduces the exciting discoveries and revelations that have
revolutionized contemporary understanding of medieval art and
identifies the vexing challenges that still remain. With 16 color
plates and 81 images in all-including the stained glass of Chartres
Cathedral, the mosaics of San Marco, and the Utrecht Psalter, as
well as newly discovered works such as the frescoes in Rome's aula
gotica and a twelfth-century aquamanile in Hildesheim-Experiencing
Medieval Art makes the complex history of medieval art accessible
for students of art history and scholars of medieval history,
theology, and literature.

Zum ersten Mal nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg erschien das "Taschen-
buch fUr Druckluftbetrieb" im Sommer 1954 in seiner siebten Auflage
und war schon zwei Jahre spater restlos vergriffen. Inzwischen ist
ouch die 1959 herausgegebene achte Auflage verkauft, und der Markt
fordert in Form von vielen hundert Anfragen und Zuschriften die nun
vorlie- gende Neuerscheinung. Weil sich in der inzwischen
verstrichenen Zeit Wesentliches geandert hat, weil ganz neue
Anwendungsgebiete hinzu- gekommen sind und das
InformationsbedUrfnis entsprechend ge- wachsen ist, haben wir mit
neuer, junger Mannschaft ein ganz neues Buch geschrieben und
hoffen, damit eine InformationslUcke zu schlieBen. Unsere
Zielsetzung ist unverandert die gleiche geblieben: dem Druck-
luftverbraucher quer durch die ganze Industrie ein Handbuch zu
Uber- mitteln, das ihn Uber die gangigen und neuesten Bauarten und
Eigen- schaften der Drucklufterzeuger und die vielschichtigen
Anwendungs- bereiche der Druckluft unterrichten will. Herauskommen
sollte kein Universalwerk, weil donn Umfang und Eigenart des
Taschenbuchs verloren gegangen waren. Auch muBten die Erorterungen
der theore- tisch en Grundlagen zusammengedrangt und, wo immer
angangig, in Form von Diagrammen dargeboten werden. Der Zwang zur
raumlichen Beschrankung bringt es ouch mit sich, daB eine Reihe von
Anwendungsgebieten nur gestreift und nicht erschopfend dargestellt
werden konnte. Wer mehr wissen will, ist hoflich eingeladen, seine
Probleme und Fragen dem Herausgeber vorzutragen, der gern fUr aile
Druckluftfragen mit seinen Fachkraften zur VerfUgung steht.
Cristy Kessler should be dead. The fact that she's not is because
she took charge of her own medical care. When she took it upon
herself to find out why she had spent her lifetime battling pain
and illness, Kessler embarked upon a journey of discovery in which
she endured multiple treatments and procedures that resolved some,
but not all, of her issues. Finally, armed with a diagnosis of
multiple autoimmune diseases, she took charge and, with the help of
a powerful team of doctors, Kessler identified the treatment that
could save her life, a treatment denied by her insurance company
and prohibited in the United States by the FDA. As Michael Seres,
author of the blog, "Being a Patient Isn't Easy," and a transplant
survivor himself, says in the Foreword, "With her book, she has
been able to articulate in a very simple way the critical steps
that every patient living with a long-term condition should abide
by. She writes with complete honesty and lovely touches of
humour....this is a book every single patient should read at least
once. And, if you are a clinician, then this should be on your
bookshelf or on your laptop as a constant reminder of the paths and
decisions...patients have to take." Throughout her medical journey,
Kessler developed the skills and strategies necessary to act as her
own patient advocate, which, in the end, saved her life. Speaking
directly to her readers, Kessler describes the five STEPS toward
taking control of your health care with the assistance and support
of a network of medical experts, family, and friends. Sensibility.
Kessler urges you to pay attention to what your body is telling you
and to record and describe symptoms carefully so that the doctor
knows everything necessary for appropriate care. Most importantly,
she says you must refuse to let anyone-even a doctor-dismiss your
symptoms. Teamwork. Kessler urges you to take full responsibility
for leading your team of doctors to make certain they are all
working together, not at cross purposes. Don't be afraid to change
doctors if you need to. Put together a support network of family,
friends, colleagues who can do for you what you cannot do for
yourself. Education. This is a critical aspect in directing your
medical team. Kessler advises you to do research and to use the
Internet wisely to investigate symptoms and treatment and to share
information collaboratively and respectfully with your doctors.
Educate your support network; don't keep secrets about your
condition from the people who mean the most to you. Let them walk
with you on your journey. Patience and Perseverance. Kessler
acknowledges that being a "patient patient" is not always easy, but
she urges you to find a balance between waiting calmly and
recognizing when to act on something urgent in your life and
circumstances. Ask questions you need answers to, be patient when
you need to, and always persevere toward your objective of getting
the best possible treatment available - no matter where it might
be. Sustainability. Finally, Kessler insists that you are
responsible for sustaining your body, mind, and spirit.
Sustainability takes many forms. Whether it is through your faith
or through personal and social networks, it is important to meet
the needs of your whole self. Find a reason to get out of bed every
day and find ways to pay it forward. Find one thing you can make
time for each day that provides you with joy. In this genuinely
compelling, honestly scripted, and engaging chronicle of her
medical and personal journey, Kessler shares those strategies for
others to use when faced with difficult medical situations.

Decorated with the richest, most beautiful mosaics in the world,
the Venetian church of San Marco is quite literally a treasure
house of medieval art. The domes and walls of the church, encrusted
with stone, glass, and gold, have been recognized, over the
centuries, as a glorious historical and artistic record. Peopled
with hundreds and figures--Adam and Eve, Noah and his progeny,
Isaiah, Christ, Mark, of course, and other holy men and women of
Venice--these mosaics create a cosmic panorama. "The Mosaic
Decoration of San Marco, Venice" brings these unrivaled mosaics
into breathtaking focus, combining a descriptive history of their
creation and repair over the ages with close-up photographs
revealing their iconographic detail.
