Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Image Warfare in the War on Terror provides an innovative
re-examination of the war on terror. It argues that since 11
September 2001 image warfare has replaced techno-war as the
dominant warfighting model. Roger suggests that it is a form of
warfare in which Al Qaeda currently dominates while the West is
still playing catch-up. By dealing frankly with the deployment of
disturbing images generated by the 9/11 attacks - from bin Laden
videos, suicide terrorism and hostage executions to prisoner
abuses, Roger provides us with a new vocabulary through which these
acts can be discussed and understood.
This book offers the first comprehensive assessment, from an
International Relations perspective, of image warfare. Through
engagement with IR, Media Studies and Visual Culture literatures,
Roger introduces three new conceptual terms 'image munitions',
'counter-image munitions' and 'remediation battles'. These terms
are then explored in chapters about political communications
concerning Bush, Blair and bin Laden; suicides; executions and
abuses.

Since Mondors times in the forties of the last century there was no
other book in surgery to be written so easy and witty Boris D.
Savchuk, World Journal of Surgery This, the fifth edition of
Scheins Common Sense Emergency Abdominal Surgery, builds on the
reputation of the four previous editions. Already a worldwide
benchmark, translated into half a dozen languages, this book guides
surgeons logically through the minefields of assessment and
management of acute surgical abdominal conditions. Tyro and
experienced surgeons alike will benefit from the distilled wisdom
contained in these pages. The direct, no-nonsense style gives clear
guidance while at the same time providing amusing (or saddening)
insights into our collective surgical psyche. Old chapters were
revised or rewritten and new chapters have been added, including a
completely new colorectal section with its new co-editor. Finally,
in an attempt to rejuvenate the book, Danny took over the helm
while the aging Moshe was pushed down the line Selected reviews and
comments from readers of the previous edition What to say, perhaps
the most appropriate medical book ever written. This is written
with short punchy chapters making it a very difficult book to put
down. By the end I was a total enthusiast this is a text like no
other I read Unreservedly recommended to old and young alike. A
Must Have Book. I am about to end my chief year in general surgery
residency my copy of the first edition shows the wear of half a
dozen total read throughs and probably hundreds of referencings...
Simply perfect. The best choice in surgery for trainees! It makes
the more difficult surgery areas very easy to understand. I
recommend it to all surgeons. One of the best books I have read in
my life! Must read for all docs out there. But the moral of the
book is that if scientific rigorousness (protocols, guidelines,
evidence-based) and common sense are at odds, follow common sense.
Carried in wallets and displayed in homes, photographs are a
common, but often an overlooked feature of modern life. And, with
the advent of digital technology many believe that the so called
'wet chemistry' behind old fashioned photography is a thing of the
past - but is it? The Chemistry of Photography endeavours to
unravel the mysteries of picture taking and reflects on the
diversity and complexity of the science. It gives readers an
insight into the chemistry needed to generate pictures, spanning
all mediums including still and motion picture as well as digital
imaging. Beginning with the components of conventional photography
such as films and papers, the book also looks at light capture and
amplification, negative films, processing solutions, colour
transparencies, the chemistry of colour and motion picture films.
The book concludes with a discussion of digital technology and new
innovations in photography. This fascinating book will appeal to
scientists and those with a general interest in both the new and
the old science behind photography.

Roger examines how developments in new media technologies, such as
the internet, blogs, camera/video phones, have fundamentally
altered the way in which governments, militaries, terrorists, NGOs,
and citizens engage with images. He argues that there has been a
paradigm shift from techno-war to image warfare, which emerged on
9/11.
The enthusiastic feedback received from readers of the
international best-seller "Schein's Common Sense Emergency
Abdominal Surgery" inspired the editors to do a similar book
dedicated to surgical complications: practical, non-formal,
internationally relevant (in all types of practice and levels of
hospitals) -- and definitely not politically correct: what is
considered taboo by others is not taboo for us; here we discuss
everything! As in the editors' previous book, the use of references
is restricted to the absolute minimum, and citing figures and
percentages is avoided as much as possible. The chapters in this
book are the opinion of experts -- each contributor has a vast
personal knowledge and clinical experience in the field he is
writing about. This book will help all surgeons (and their
patients), avoid the misery of complications, and will provide
advice on the management of those that are unavoidable.
Complications and death are an integral component of surgery.
Surgeons have to look death in the eyes, try to prevent it and
vanquish it -- this is what this book is all about.
