Following the style of his previous books, Sex and the Cardiac Patient and AnsweringYour Questions About Heart Disease and Sex, informative, educational, entertaining, andbold, Dr. Eduardo Chapunoff takes us this time into the complex world of the morbidlyobese.
This work describes how and why the cardiovascular and other systems become affectedby excessive weights. His own simple, schematic illustrations will help you to understandhow morbid obesity leads to heart attacks, heart failure, strokes, sleep apnea, and manyother conditions, including sudden death.
Major treatment decisions are facilitated by Dr. Chapunoff's down-to-earth explanations.Also addressed here is the unfairness and ineffectiveness of some insurance corporations incovering the costs of weight-loss surgery. For many of those who read this book -patients aswell as health care practitioners and undergraduates- the concepts and the understandingof what morbid obesity is all about will never be the same.

Two thousand years ago, a monster known only as The Beast ravaged the world, spreading war and destruction throughout the multiverse. Millions fought and died, but it seemed hopeless, until finally a group of heroes defeated The Beast in a fearsome battle, trapping him in the three artefacts that summoned him. But now someone seeks to resurrect The Beast and finish what began millennia ago: the end of the world. Now, only a handful of survivors remain to combat those who would resurrect The Beast, but how can they fight an enemy that they cannot even see?

Listening To Ghosts is an accounting of the author's experience growing up in a Northeastern working class neighborhood and subsequent career as an enlisted man in the United States Navy before the Navy became an instrument for social engineering experimentation. Written in the first person the author takes the reader through his adventures - and misadventures - in frank, candid and politically incorrect language.

The Rotterdam City Library contains the world's largest collection of works by and about Desiderius Erasmus (1469?-1536), perhaps Rotterdam's most famous son. The origin of this unique collection dates back to the seventeenth century when the city fathers established a library in the Great or St. Laurence Church. This bibliography of the Erasmus collection lists, for the first time, all of the Rotterdam scholar's works and most of the studies written about him from his time to the present day. The collection is of vital importance to Erasmus studies and has, in many cases, provided the basic material for editions of Erasmus's complete works. In addition to the unique sixteenth-century printings listed in this book, the collection includes many translations into Estonian, Polish, Russian, Czech, Hebrew, and other languages. The Rotterdam Library has acquired publications about Erasmus that cover such topics as his life, work and times; his contemporaries; his humanism, pedagogy, pacifism, and theology; his relationship to Luther and the Reformation; and his influence on later periods. The collection numbers (as of 1989) roughly 5,000 works divided as follows: 2,500 works by Erasmus himself, 500 works edited by him, and 2,000 books and articles about him. This bibliographic resource will be of great value to Erasmus scholars, philosophy researchers, and historians studying the path of philosophical and religious thought.

This bibliography attempts to cover the bulk of general and policy literature resulting from the many and varied multinational and United Nations conferences which have addressed the adjustment of imbalances and inequities which characterize present day economic relationships between developed and developing countries.
