In The Poetics of Fire, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and Chicano author Victor M. Valle posits the chile as a metaphor for understanding the shared cultural histories of Chicanx and Latinx peoples from preconquest Mesoamerica to twentieth-century New Mexico. Valle uses the chile as a decolonizing lens through which to analyze preconquest Mesoamerican cosmology, early European exploration, and the forced conversion of Native peoples to Catholicism as well as European and Mesoamerican perspectives on food and place. Assembling a rich collection of source material, Valle highlights the fiery fruit's overarching importance as evidenced by the ubiquity of references to the plant over several centuries in literature, art, official documents, and more to offer a new eco-aesthetic reading--a reframing of culinary history from a pluralistic, non-Western perspective.

A comprehensive reference and practical guide on the technology and application of ultrasound to the musculoskeletal system. It is organized into two main sections. The first is devoted to general aspects, while the second provides a systematic overview of the applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound in different areas of the body. Ultrasound scans are correlated with drawings, photographs, images obtained using other modalities, and anatomic specimens. There is a generous complement of high-quality illustrations based on high-end equipment. This book will acquaint beginners with the basics of musculoskeletal ultrasound, while more advanced sonologists and sonographers will learn new skills, means of avoiding pitfalls, and ways of effectively relating the ultrasound study to the clinical background.

Die Begriffe Diagnostik und Therapie umschlieBen das weite Feld des arztlichen Wirkens. Fur jeden Arzt, nicht nur den erfahrenen Kliniker, ist es stimulierend, in einem schwer zu deutenden Krankheitsgeschehen eine klare Diagnose stellen zu konnen. Sie ist noch immer Voraussetzung jeder erfolgreichen Therapie. Hier wird ein Buch vorgelegt, das ausschlieBlich der Diagnostik gewid- met ist. Dieser Atlas ist ein Bildbericht nicht nur uber die wichtigsten und typischen Befunde der angiographisch erkennbaren haufigen Nierener- krankungen, sondern es sind auch seltene Krankheitsbilder berucksichtigt. Es ist vornehmlich eine Sammlung, entstanden aus einer ungewohnlich groBen Erfahrung arztlichen Sehens und Erkennens, jedoch weit mehr als ein bloBes Nachschlagewerk mit Illustrationen. Es spiegelt in vielfaltiger Weise das tagtagliche Erleben klinischer Radiologen, deren uneingeschrank- tes Interesse seitjeher den angiographischen Methoden gegolten hat. BewuBt wird auf die in Buchern ahnlicher Art ubliche Beschreibung der Technik der Untersuchungsmethoden und ihrer Vielzahl von Modifikationen ver- zichtet. Sie wird bei den Benutzern des Buches vorausgesetzt. Der Textteil des Atlas ist bewuBt knapp und prazis gehalten. Jeder theoretische Ballast wurde vermieden. Er macht das Bestreben der Autoren deutlich, auch dem noch nicht erfahrenen Leser Kenntnisse zu vermitteln, ohne die angiographische Befunde nicht zu deuten sind. Man will den Benutzer des Buches beraten; will helfen, Wesentliches von Unwesentlichem zu unterscheiden. Man will ihn Sehen lehren, urn durch das Sehen eine Beurteilung zu erreichen.

This book is a comprehensive reference and practical guide on the technology and application of ultrasound to the musculoskeletal system. It is organized into two main sections. The first is devoted to general aspects, while the second provides a systematic overview of the applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound in different areas of the body. Each chapter of the second section provides an introduction on clinical anatomy and the essentials of clinical history and physical examination. Thereafter, performance of the ultrasound study is explained and the normal and pathological anatomy is reviewed. To assist in understanding, the ultrasound scans are correlated with drawings, photographs, images obtained using other modalities, and anatomic specimens. There is a generous complement of high-quality illustrations based on high-end equipment. This book contains a wealth of invaluable information.
