The first edition of Perforator Flaps: Anatomy, Technique, &
Clinical Applications was a bestseller that sold out of its initial
printing. This new edition has been updated to include ten new
chapters and extensive updates on all existing chapters. Many new
developments have taken place in the field, including the use of
local perforator flaps, including free-style propeller flaps as
well as the distal-based sural flap, which is effective for the
lower extremity especially when microsurgical skills are
unavailable. The editors, leading reconstructive surgeons and
pioneers in the field of perforator flap surgery, have assembled a
group of world-renowned experts who discuss perforator anatomy and
clinical indications for the use of these flaps. The book outlines
techniques for flap harvest, from the most basic to the highly
advanced. Accompanying the book are four supplemental DVDs that
demonstrate actual operating procedures.

This shocking, but thought-provoking, analysis of some of the
world's worst serial killers looks at their early years in an
effort to understand - why? Why do human beings turn into killing
machines? Are they born to kill or are they trained to kill? Is
there really a 'demon seed' within certain individuals that ensures
they are destined to commit serial homicide from conception? The
authors have spoken with killers all over the world in a quest to
understand what makes them go bad. They were, after all, born into
this world as innocent children. The result is the inner workings
of the minds of the most destructive individuals on the planet are
revealed in stomach-churning detail. The book also shows how
developing serial killers can be predicted through the use of an
incredibly sophisticated system of psychological profiling. You too
may be able to tell if the person you're sitting next to has the
potential to kill. This is the ultimate guided tour into the
darkest places on our planet.
For any digital TV developer or manager, the maze of standards and
specifications related to MHP and OCAP is daunting-you have to
patch together pieces from several standards to gather all the
necessary knowledge you need to compete worldwide. The standards
themselves can be confusing, and contain many inconsistencies and
missing pieces. Interactive TV Standards provides a guide for
actually deploying these technologies for a broadcaster or product
and application developer.
Understanding what the APIs do is essential for your job, but
understanding how the APIs work and how they relate to each other
at a deeper level helps you do it better, faster and easier. Learn
how to spot when something that looks like a good solution to a
problem really isn't. Understand how the many standards that make
up MHP fit together, and implement them effectively and quickly.
Two DVB insiders teach you which elements of the standards that are
needed for digital TV, highlight those elements that are not
needed, and explain the special requirements that MHP places on
implementations of these standards.
Once you've mastered the basics, you will learn how to develop
products for US, European, and Asian markets--saving time and
money. By detailing how a team can develop products for both the
OCAP and MHP markets, Interactive TV Standards teaches you how to
to leverage your experience with one of these standards into the
skills and knowledge needed to work with the critical, related
standards.
Does the team developing a receiver have all the knowledge they
need to succeed, or have they missed important information in an
apparently unrelated standard? Does an application developer really
know how towrite a reliable piece of software that runs on any MHP
or OCAP receiver? Does the broadcaster understand the business and
technical issues well enough to deploy MHP successfully, or will
their project fail? Increase your chances of success the first time
with Interactive TV Standards.
* A practical, real-world introduction to the technical elements of
the OCAP and MHP standards.
* Get everything you need without wading though thousands of pages
of standards- many of which don't apply to digital TV!
* Get inside concrete problems that have been found by the authors
and other users - issues not generally known outside of the
standards committees.
