Bestiality, battered babies and bucket loads of bodily fluids are
the order of the day in this gross-out comedy horror sequel. The
flesh-hungry monsters are on the rampage once again, this time in a
neighbouring town, and the locals must join forces with the
survivors from the first film to figure out how they can possibly
survive their indiscriminately vicious onslaught.
Magic or spycraft? In 1953, against the backdrop of the Cold
War, the CIA initiated a top-secret program, code-named MKULTRA, to
counter Soviet mind-control and interrogation techniques. Realizing
that clandestine officers might need to covertly deploy newly
developed pills, potions, and powders against the adversary, the
CIA hired America's most famous magician, John Mulholland, to write
two manuals on sleight of hand and covert communication
techniques.
In 1973, virtually all documents related to MKULTRA were
destroyed. Mulholland's manuals were thought to be among
them--until a single surviving copy of each, complete with
illustrations, was recently discovered in the agency's
archives.
The manuals reprinted in this work represent the only known
complete copy of Mulholland's instructions for CIA officers on the
magician's art of deception and secret communications.
Concept-Based Clinical Nursing Skills: Fundamental to Advanced
Competencies, 2nd Edition covers more than 250 nursing skills in an
innovative concept-based format. Unlike any other text, Stein and
Hollen incorporate an overarching framework of seven critical
concepts - accuracy, person-centered care, infection control,
safety, communication, evaluation, and health maintenance - to
drive home the importance of these key themes in performing nursing
skills and developing nursing competencies. Every chapter includes
a detailed case study with a concept map to help you apply your
knowledge to clinical situations involving nursing skills. The
nursing process is seamlessly integrated within the skills, and
Next-Generation NCLEX (R) question types strengthen your critical
thinking and clinical judgment skills. This fully referenced text
identifies and applies credible researched-based knowledge that
comprises the knowledge for nursing practice. More than 250 nursing
skills are presented in a step-by-step format with concise
rationales, current evidence, and over 900 outstanding photos and
illustrations. Emphasis on NCLEX (R) preparation is incorporated
throughout with language and concepts that reflect those used on
the exam. Concept-based approach to skills education pairs well
with the Giddens framework. Critical concepts to skills performance
- accuracy, person-centered care, infection control, safety,
communication, evaluation, and health maintenance - are reinforced
throughout the text with a strong emphasis on safety. Detailed case
studies with concept maps in each skill chapter depict patients
with problems that might be experienced in the clinical setting and
are followed by a series of critical thinking questions. Questions
are designed to help you learn how to apply knowledge, synthesize
nursing competencies, and use clinical judgment in nursing
practice. Easy-to-understand, conversational writing style with a
logical organization presents fundamental skills first, then
intermediate acute care skills, and finally advanced skills often
performed in critical care, with an emphasis on safety and
person-centered care. Application of the QSEN competencies includes
critical thinking questions that challenge you to apply a
competency from the QSEN quality and safety framework. Application
of the AACN Essentials competencies includes objectives and
critical thinking questions that allow you to integrate nursing
clinical skills into the broader role of the nurse. Application of
the nursing process sections in each chapter present nursing
diagnoses that include specific examples of client outcomes and
nursing interventions. Lifespan, cultural, and home care
considerations assist you in understanding the diverse needs of
your patients. Lessons from the Evidence boxes highlight current
research that can contribute to evidence-based clinical practice
and identify gaps in knowledge. Lessons from the Courtroom boxes
summarize actual court cases related to the skills in the chapter
to help you understand legal implications. Storytelling-style
"Lessons From" boxes include Lessons from Experience sharing
practical insights from more experienced nurses and Expect the
Unexpected boxes preparing you to anticipate unexpected situations
that could occur and explore appropriate responses. Performing an
Assessment chapter details essential physical assessment skills.
NEW! End-of-chapter Next Generation NCLEX (R) types of questions
challenge you to apply critical thinking and clinical judgment.
NEW! AACN Essentials language and competencies are incorporated
into every chapter and included in case study questions.

This thought-provoking book for college students and those who
minister with them deals with issues of faith, identity, sex,
success, failure, and more, through the concept of belovedness.
Every college student's story is different, but they all have the
same questions in common. Who am I? How do I make good choices?
What does it mean to be successful? How do I navigate changing
relationships with my family, my peers, my significant other? And
how do I do all of this faithfully? This book approaches these
topics through a fundamental inquiry: "What if I really, truly
believed that I was beloved beyond all measure, and how would that
influence what I do?" Along with the editors, eight campus
ministers from across several denominations contributed to this
volume to help students navigate questions of life and faith in the
world of high-pressure college campuses. Telling it like it is with
wit and wisdom drawn from scripture, tradition, and life
experience, this book offers profound and practical reminders of
what it is to be beloved.

cowardliness, contradictory orders are the hallmarks of this time,
and the protagonists include Mussolini, Hitler, Eisenhower, Maxwell
Taylor, the Italian King, Churchill and Badoglio. Its was then that
Italy arranged a virtually meaningless armistice with the Allies,
the terms of which were never clear to anyone. This book

Backcountry Slave Trader explores the life of William James Smith,
a South Carolina backcountry slave trader, whose entries in his
business ledger and his correspondence were of unusual specificity.
The authors' analyze these entries and his correspondence, which
they argue provide details about the institutional features of the
domestic slave trade not found in earlier published works. The
authors examine the attitude of Smith and how he conducted his
business, and reveal that the interior slave trade and the
characterization of the slave trader are more nuanced than
previously thought.

The first-ever full-length biography in English of Engelbert
Humperdinck, composer of the opera Hansel und Gretel, examining the
rest of his substantial output in a historical framework which sets
him in the rich musical life of Wilhelmine Germany. Engelbert
Humperdinck's opera Hansel und Gretel is one of the best-known in
the repertoire, its melodies as familiar as folk-tunes - and yet no
full-length biography of Humperdinck (1854-1921) has ever been
published in English: although highly regarded a century ago, he
has since been overshadowed by the continued success of his own
fairy-tale creation. His other works remain essentially unknown,
but they include five additional operas, ten furtherstage works
(including music for four Shakespeare plays), pieces for orchestra
and for chorus, and many songs. This book sets a pioneering
examination of Humperdinck's entire output in a biographical
framework, with detailed, illustrated descriptions accompanied by
quotations from Humperdinck's contemporaries. Humperdinck was a
quintessential composer of the Germany of the Kaisers: his
maturation coincided with the establishment of the German
Empire,and his training with teachers who remembered Beethoven and
Schubert culminated in an apprenticeship with Richard Wagner. His
talents won him entry to the Bayreuth inner circle and to the home
of Johannes Brahms, and earned him areception with Kaiser Wilhelm
II and an evening in Theodore Roosevelt's White House. His friends
included Richard Strauss, Hugo Wolf, Gustav Mahler, Giacomo Puccini
and Isadora Duncan. Kurt Weill, Leo Blech, and Hans Pfitzner were
among his hundreds of students. Humperdinck was a prolific writer,
too, and the detailed and candid letters and diary entries quoted
here provide an inside view of musical life in Wilhelmine Germany,
with its extraordinary number of theatres, orchestras, choral
societies, music publishers, journals and conservatoires, their
principal personalities generously illustrated in the pages of this
book. William Melton, born in Philadelphia in 1954, did hisgraduate
studies in music history at the University of California Los
Angeles and spent his career in the horn section of the Sinfonie
Orchester Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle). In addition, he is a
contributor to The Cambridge Wagner Encyclopedia (2013) and the
author of The Wagner Tuba: A History (edition ebenos, Aachen,
2008). Further projects have included biographical essays on
lesser-known Romantics like Friedrich Klose, Henri Kling, Felix
Draeseke, and Friedrich Gernsheim, and he has researched and edited
the scores of the 'Forgotten Romantics' series for the publisher
edition ebenos.
This is the first comprehensive catalog and price guide covering
all four ranges of miniature toy vehicles produced by Barclay
Manufacturing Company, Inc. (New Jersey) from 1932 to 1971. It
covers nearly 2,000 variations of these toys along with a history
of the company, the manufacturing process, detailed identification
grids and explanations, rarity notations, pricing ranges, a
biography, and over 650 color photos. Barclay began producing
miniature transports and trains in the early 1930s and added trucks
and cars in the 1950s. All four ranges were produced until the
company closed in 1971. The toys were colorful, well-designed,
inexpensive, and popular throughout the period they were produced.
The appendix includes pictures of related toys. Since most of these
toys do not identify the manufacturer and many variations are rare,
the book is indispensable for anyone interested in collectable
toys.
The material in this book, first published in 1990, provides
important documentation for the first generation of Rosicrucianism
in North America, especially the still vigorous Rosicrucian
Fraternity. These chapters reprinted here are so necessary to the
understanding of this most occult organization, and are otherwise
difficult to locate and read.
Undergraduate Research (UGR) is any creative effort undertaken by
an undergraduate that advances the knowledge of the student in an
academic discipline and leads to new scholarly insights or the
creation of new knowledge that adds to the wealth of the
discipline. Undergraduate research is valued and encouraged at
several HBCUs; however, the history, implementation, nor progress
has not been sufficiently published and disseminated nationally.
Importantly, a great deal of learning occurs when undergraduate
students conduct research and, of course, much of this learning
does not happen during the traditional coursework. Research leads
to better understanding of and deeper appreciation for the
discipline. Further, it is contended that students' career goals
and academic expectations are enhanced as a result of research
participation. Extensive undergraduate research can increase access
to PhD programs. From the voices of faculty mentors, student
mentees and UGR program directors and program coordinators this
volume describes the successes of programs across HBCUs and
discusses how retention and graduation rates have been increased as
a result of participation.
