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.

"We Also Serve: A Family Goes to War" chronicles the effects of two wars on a marriage, on a mother, and on her entire family. In 2004, Nanette Sagastume's son is sent to Fallujah, Iraq with the same battalion, company, and platoon that his father served with in Vietnam. To a degree not possible in previous global conflicts, modern technology virtually inserts her into the war. When a suicide bomber attacks the platoon, she and her family experience a deep soul wound.

In "We Also Serve," Nanette explains what it is like for a mother when her son joins the military just as the country is catapulted into war. She recalls in intimate detail the toll the war took on her relationships with her husband, family, and friends. She also discusses the effect the Iraq War has on her husband and his Vietnam veteran friends. When the two generations of warriors come together, the tale becomes one of hope and healing.

"As a warrior, I found "We Also Serve: A Family Goes to War" to be a gripping, unforgettable story of a military family's emotional survival through two wars."

-Colonel Billy R. (Bill) Duncan, USMC,
Ret. Commanding Officer of 2nd Battalion,
1st Marines in Vietnam in 1968

Clara Garden is thirty-five and single, with no escape in sight. Just jilted by her fiance, who runs off to Las Vegas to marry his receptionist, she's not sure where to turn--until a birthday gift from her mother gives Clara an opportunity to escape from Vancouver Island.

She travels to England for a tranquil summer at Meadow Vale, a farm house deep in the Warwickshire countryside. Determined to put her failed relationship behind her, Clara anticipates history, culture, custard-covered desserts, and possibly romance as she embarks on her first foreign trip. It should be easy: stay in a beautiful house, walk a dog every day, and feed the ponies.

Instead, she finds herself dealing with vaguely disturbing neighbors, a medically fragile Chihuahua, a pregnant pony on the brink of labor, and the fact that the previous three house sitters have met untimely deaths. Drawn into a family feud and local events such as the village fete and a children's riding competition, Clara becomes known to local police and media before the summer's end. Even so, she finds there is life after a broken engagement.

In 1988 the author accompanied ten Vietnam veterans and the BBC, who were filming a documentary, on a return trip to Vietnam. This book is a memoir of that trip.

Contemporary artworks and archival documents celebrating 500 years of anticolonial activism.

This volume illuminates 500 years of anticolonial resistance in the Global South, examining colonial violence and oppression and its ongoing repercussions, and paying homage to the people who resisted it in various ways and whose stories have hardly ever been told or heard to this day. The works of more than 40 contemporary artists from the Global South and the diaspora tell stories of rebellion and war, violence and trauma as well as survival and resilience. Their stories are complemented by historical documents and numerous objects from the RJM collection in Cologne.

Artists include: Florisse Adjanohoun, Christie Akumabor, Osaze Amadasun, Kader Attia, Roger Atikpo, Belkis Ayón, Marcel Djondo, Omar Victor Diop, Nwakuso Edozien, Robert Gabris, Jimoh Ganiyu, Anani Gbeteglo, Ayrson Heráclito, indieguerillas, Patricia Kaersenhout, Eustache Kamouna, Grada Kilomba, Mohammed Laouli, Alao Lukman, Peter Magubane, Dhuwarrwarr Marika, Tshibumba Kanda Matulu and Medu Art Ensemble.

Presenting the most current and relevant information on the diagnosis and management of primary ovarian insufficiency, also known as premature ovarian failure (POI/POF), this book presents two equally important voices. The first is the scientific, evidence-based voice discussing the latest information on POI/POF in a concise and logical fashion: etiologies, symptoms, genetics, mechanisms, associated conditions, as well as psychological and lifestyle considerations. The second voice presents the first-person stories of affected women, who are often faced with a diagnosis of irreversible infertility at a very young age and who somehow learn to live with great uncertainty about their ability to create a family - a core identity issue for many women. It is thus not simply a clinical, case-based presentation, but a more collaborative effort between clinicians who are well-versed in the field and women who have POI/POF. Primary Ovarian Insufficiency: A Clinical Guide to Early Menopause will therefore be an excellent practical yet personal reference for OB/GYNs, reproductive medicine specialists, and any clinician, nurse or health care worker treating women living with POI/POF.

Few topics in women's medicine today are as fraught with confusion and controversy as the question of appropriate treatment for menopausal symptoms and the prevention of negative long term health outcomes common to post-menopausal women. Cardiovascular disease (CVD), osteoporosis, and cancer - the most common causes of death, disability and impaired quality of life for women - can potentially be prevented or forestalled by dietary, behavioural and drug interventions. A better understanding of the natural history of the menopause is critical to providing better care. If women and their physicians have a better understanding of predictors of risk, they could make more informed decisions about interventions related to menopausal symptoms, CVD, osteoporosis and gynaecologic and breast cancer. Few other recently introduced medical interventions have as great a potential of affecting morbidity and mortality as does hormone replacement therapy (HRT). HRT has produced effect on health risk: some are reduced, some are raised, and some uncertain, and these data are interpreted differently by various scientific, medical and consumer groups.

In the early 1960's on Long Island, a winning cast of teachers and students in Suppogue High School cope with a mysterious murder, forbidden romances, and political upheavals.

Amenorrhea: A Case-Based Clinical Guide is a comprehensive review of the current knowledge regarding normal female reproductive physiology. Replete with interesting case vignettes and providing diagnostic algorithms and therapeutic strategies for amenorrhea, Amenorrhea: A Case-Based Clinical Guide is divided into three sections. The first section is composed of two chapters that provide a thorough review of basic science and clinical knowledge about the organ systems responsible for normal physiology of the menstrual cycle. The second section includes discussion about menstrual cycle disruption as it relates to hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, surgical and natural menopause, genetic defects, premature ovarian failure/insufficiency and the effects of caloric excess and restriction. The third section offers an update on the physiological effects of prolonged amenorrhea induced surgically or by hypothalamic dysfunction and also includes an original chapter that focuses solely on the impact of race and ethnicity on the prevalence and diagnosis of amenorrhea. Amenorrhea: A Case-Based Clinical Guide brings together chapters from renowned experts who offer state-of-the-art, clinically useful information in a case-based, reader-friendly fashion. This title will be a welcome addition to the bookshelves of all clinicians who practice in women's health settings.
