On April 23, 1906, Alexis Carrel presented his manuscript entitled
"The Surgery of Blood Vessels" to the Johns Hopkins Medical
Society. His work on the tech nique of small vessel anastomosis and
the transplantation of visceral organs earned him the Nobel Prize
in 1912. The use of magnification in operative surgery began in
1921 with the work of Nylen, who first employed the microscope for
reconstructive procedures in the middle ear. Jacobson and Suarez
published their initial observa tions on the use of microsurgery
for the anastomosis of small vessels in 1960, and two years later,
Malt reported the historic replantation of an upper extremity. To
surgeons involved in reconstruction of the extremities, the
evolution of micro surgery has provided the most significant
advances of the past three decades. The dramatic clinical successes
of replantation surgery and free tissue transfer have substantially
improved functional and cosmetic results in addition to decreas ing
morbidity in patients who present with complex reconstructive
problems. Mi crosurgical Reconstruction of the Extremities crosses
the traditional surgical discip lines and will be invaluable to
orthopaedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, hand sur geons, and general
surgeons, as well as to residents and fellows.
For more than fifty years, students and teachers have made the
two-volume resource Sources of Indian Traditions their top pick for
an accessible yet thorough introduction to Indian and South Asian
civilizations. Volume 2 contains an essential selection of primary
readings on the social, intellectual, and religious history of
India from the decline of Mughal rule in the eighteenth century to
today. It details the advent of the East India Company, British
colonization, the struggle for liberation, the partition of 1947,
and the creation of Pakistan, Bangladesh, and contemporary India.
This third edition now begins earlier than the first and second,
featuring a new chapter on eighteenth-century intellectual and
religious trends that set the stage for India's modern development.
The editors have added material on Gandhi and his reception both
nationally and abroad and include different perspectives on and
approaches to Partition and its aftermath. They expand their
portrait of post-1947 India and Pakistan and add perspectives on
Bangladesh. The collection continues to be divided thematically,
with a section devoted to the drafting of the Indian constitution,
the rise of nationalism, the influence of Western thought, the
conflict in Kashmir, nuclear proliferation, minority religions,
secularism, and the role of the Indian political left. A phenomenal
text, Sources of Indian Traditions is more indispensable than ever
for courses in philosophy, religion, literature, and intellectual
and cultural history.
