Analyzing real, speculative, and imaginary schemes of migration
to and from Britain, "Romantic Migrations" addresses three
interrelated movements: between France and Britain after the French
Revolution, between Britain and North America after the American
Revolution, and between West Africa and Britain after English
slavery was outlawed. At this time and within these spaces, radical
changes destabilized Britons' sense of individual, local, and
national selfhood. Wiley ably illuminates how the British
literature of migration registered the destabilizations and
negotiated new possibilities for international, transnational, or
global selves in a new and still-changing world.
Grounded in historical sources and informed by recent work in
cultural, sociological, geographical and spatial studies, Romantic
Geography illuminates the nexus between imaginative literature and
geography in William Wordsworth's poetry and prose. It shows that
eighteenth-century social and political interest groups contested
spaces through maps, geographical commentaries and travel
literature; and that by configuring 'utopian' landscapes Wordsworth
himself participated in major social and political controversies in
post-French Revolutionary England.
ENDOVASCULAR INTERVENTIONS A practical and systematic approach to
current endovascular surgical techniques An increasingly popular
alternative to open vascular surgery, endovascular intervention
offers many advantages, including reduced patient discomfort,
smaller incisions, shorter recovery time, and decreased risk of
adverse complications. Practitioners and trainees alike require
expert guidance on current technologies and up-to-date techniques.
Endovascular Interventions provides clinicians with an
easy-to-follow guide for minimally invasive treatment of vascular
disease. This invaluable resource delivers concise and accurate
instructions on a wide range of endovascular interventions,
including aorta, renal and mesenteric interventions, lower
extremity interventions, venous interventions, and supra-aortic
interventions in high-risk patients. Sequential phases of skill
development broaden the reader’s abilities as they progress
through each chapter, supplying step-by-step instructions on when
each procedure should be used and how it can be safely and
effectively performed. This book offers a complete reference to
essential techniques and procedures, suitable for both novice and
experienced vascular surgeons, cardiologists, and radiologists.
Endovascular Interventions also: Reinforces comprehension of each
procedure with templated chapters, equipment lists and boxed key
learning points Provides full-color clinical images and detailed
illustrations to demonstrate surgical procedures Presents
authoritative coverage of modern endovascular technologies and
techniques Written by a team of respected experts and practicing
surgeons from internationally recognized hospitals and universities
Suitable for varying skill levels, Endovascular Interventions is a
precise, accessible instruction manual for safe and effective
endovascular intervention, helping practicing clinicians sharpen
their existing abilities and keep pace with the latest surgical
technologies while instructing trainees on this innovative approach
to vascular surgery.
When John Thompson and I first began talking about finding a way to
measure and cost the output of hospitals in the 1960s. we really
had no concept of the need for this kind of result. In fact. if we
had listened to others in the health services research community.
we would rrever have begun or persisted in the task. But it seemed
important to us to begin to understand what up until then seemed
unexplainable - the rather strange cost behavior of hospitals. We
had the benefit of Professor Martin Feld stein's observation that
case-mix was certainly an important factor. but we had literally no
guidance on how to make some sense out of the very large number of
illnesses that beset the human race. and the very large number of
different processes that obtain in our hospitals as they attempt to
cope with those illnesses. We were fortunate to find a small number
of curious and capable graduate students to join us in this effort.
for without them we would not have had a chance of success. While
many contrib uted to the ultimate outcome. it is important to
single out Ronald E. Mills. Richard F. Averill. Youngsoo Shin. and
Jean L. Freeman for their efforts over many years. The
diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) constitute a way of identifying the
normal output of hospitals in a consistent and exhaustive manner."
Analyzing real, speculative, and imaginary schemes of migration to
and from Britain, this book addresses three interrelated movements:
between France and Britain after the French Revolution, between
Britain and North America also after the Revolution, and between
West Africa and Britain in the years leading to the Revolution.
