Dick Webb was a police officer for 30 years serving in the Metropolitan Police, Bolton Borough Police and latterly Greater Manchester Police. His career consisted of foot patrol, CID and then Regional Crime Squad. He has endeavoured not to mention names of people or streets so that at no time is he in breach of the Official Secrets Act. Or he gets his knuckles rapped. Now that he has retired and the children have flown the nest, the house is much roomier. Giving his rheumy body more room to ruminate. Whilst ruminating he enjoyed looking in the rear view mirror of life. What he saw, what he thought, is in this book for you, hopefully, to enjoy.

Containing two works addressing the problems we have all had with money and with credit. ""On the Real Causes of the Recession, Banking and Credit Crises 2007/2008"" is a conventional analysis which identifies a key factor in why the credit crunch has arisen. It is this key aspect of the credit crunch which must be tackled to restore the levels of credit the world needs. Whilst scrambling for Keynesian fiscal stimulus responses we seem to have overlooked a rather more important factor John Maynard Keynes identified from his experiences in the 1930's. In recent decades the world of economics has somewhat neglected Keynes' ideas on the Trade Cycle at its peril. ""The Economics of Money, Poverty and Wealth and What We Should Do About It"" argues for a very unconventional alternative approach and cure to the problems of modern economics and our financial systems.

Featuring 229 sharp, new images obtained with state-of-the-art technology, the Second Edition of this popular pocket atlas is a quick, handy guide to interpreting computed tomography body images. It shows readers how to recognize normal anatomic structures on CT scans...and distinguish these structures from artifacts. Chapters cover the neck and larynx, thorax, portal venous phase abdomen, pelvis, arterial phase abdomen, and reconstructions. Each page presents a high-resolution image, with anatomic landmarks clearly labeled. Directly above the image are a key to the labels and a thumbnail illustration that orients the reader to the location and plane of view. This format--sharp images, orienting thumbnails, and clear keys--enables readers to identify features with unprecedented speed and accuracy.

Since the notion was introduced by Gromov in the 1980s, hyperbolicity of groups and spaces has played a significant role in geometric group theory; hyperbolic groups have good geometric properties that allow us to prove strong results. However, many classes of interest in our exploration of the universe of finitely generated groups contain examples that are not hyperbolic. Thus we wish to go 'beyond hyperbolicity' to find good generalisations that nevertheless permit similarly strong results. This book is the ideal resource for researchers wishing to contribute to this rich and active field. The first two parts are devoted to mini-courses and expository articles on coarse median spaces, semihyperbolicity, acylindrical hyperbolicity, Morse boundaries, and hierarchical hyperbolicity. These serve as an introduction for students and a reference for experts. The topics of the surveys (and more) re-appear in the research articles that make up Part III, presenting the latest results beyond hyperbolicity.

It is this key aspect of the credit crunch which must be tackled to restore the levels of credit the world needs.

""The Economics of Money, Poverty and Wealth and What We Should Do About It"" argues for a very unconventional alternative approach and cure to the problems of modern economics and our financial systems.

Bringing a fresh and original outlook to the problem of poverty in our world, the aim of the author is to explain how by seeing the Economics of Money as a mathematical operation in each transaction, and by seeing money as an ancient tool we need to improve, we can move towards a different approach to economics and the mathematics of money to solve poverty around the world and in the process bring greater wealth to all.

Written by recognized authorities on thoracic imaging, this volume is the first to examine all modalities--both noninvasive and invasive--for visualizing the airways. Emphasis is placed on correlating CT images with bronchoscopy, to aid in interpreting CT findings and in performing interventional bronchoscopic procedures.

After a review of airway imaging techniques and anatomy, the book presents correlating CT and bronchoscopic images for a wide range of pathologic entities. Detailed chapters examine the trachea and central bronchi, the diagnosis of bronchiectasis, and the use of CT in diagnosing small airway disease. A chapter on functional imaging of the airways is also included.
