This very practical "how-to" guide comprehensively covers both the common and less common pathologies affecting the paediatric skeleton. It provides clear explanations of the materials and instrumentation, as well as teaching points, technical comments, discussions, and the avoidance of pitfalls. The images presented here have been produced using whole-body scanning, gamma-camera, high-resolution spot images, pinhole and SPECT, as well as three-phase bone scans - each procedure backed by indications for its use. These 350 illustrations thus allow the paediatrician, orthopaedic surgeon, radiologist and nuclear medicine physician a comparison with their own images as well as with the "normal" images presented in the authors' companion volume, Atlas of Bone Scintigraphy in the Developing Paediatric Skeleton.

Modernity Disavowed is a pathbreaking study of the cultural, political, and philosophical significance of the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804). Revealing how the radical antislavery politics of this seminal event have been suppressed and ignored in historical and cultural records over the past two hundred years, Sibylle Fischer contends that revolutionary antislavery and its subsequent disavowal are central to the formation and understanding of Western modernity. She develops a powerful argument that the denial of revolutionary antislavery eventually became a crucial ingredient in a range of hegemonic thought, including Creole nationalism in the Caribbean and G. W. F. Hegel's master-slave dialectic.Fischer draws on history, literary scholarship, political theory, philosophy, and psychoanalytic theory to examine a range of material, including Haitian political and legal documents and nineteenth-century Cuban and Dominican literature and art. She demonstrates that at a time when racial taxonomies were beginning to mutate into scientific racism and racist biology, the Haitian revolutionaries recognized the question of race as political. Yet, as the cultural records of neighboring Cuba and the Dominican Republic show, the story of the Haitian Revolution has been told as one outside politics and beyond human language, as a tale of barbarism and unspeakable violence. From the time of the revolution onward, the story has been confined to the margins of history: to rumors, oral histories, and confidential letters. Fischer maintains that without accounting for revolutionary antislavery and its subsequent disavowal, Western modernity-including its hierarchy of values, depoliticization of social goals having to do with racial differences, and privileging of claims of national sovereignty-cannot be fully understood.
Cecilia Valdes is arguably the most important novel of 19th century
Cuba. Originally published in New York City in 1882, Cirilo
Villaverde's novel has fascinated readers inside and outside Cuba
since the late 19th century. In this new English translation, a
vast landscape emerges of the moral, political, and sexual
depravity caused by slavery and colonialism. Set in the Havana of
the 1830s, the novel introduces us to Cecilia, a beautiful
light-skinned mulatta, who is being pursued by the son of a Spanish
slave trader, named Leonardo. Unbeknownst to the two, they are the
children of the same father. Eventually Cecilia gives in to
Leonardo's advances; she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby
girl. When Leonardo, who gets bored with Cecilia after a while,
agrees to marry a white upper class woman, Cecilia vows revenge. A
mulatto friend and suitor of hers kills Leonardo, and Cecilia is
thrown into prison as an accessory to the crime.
