At first glance it appears that little has happened in our
understanding of bronchogenic carcinoma, since five year survival
rates have not changed appreciably over the past ten years. This is
partially true, however the depth of our understanding has
increased and will continue to do so at a rapid pace over the next
five to ten years. Information on the basic tumor biology,
identification of important groups at high risk and im proved
delivery of cytotoxic agents in the treatment of lung cancer, will
all add to improve the outcome. The purpose of this text is to
provide useful background information and to serve as a reference
for approaching the patient with lung cancer. Therefore it will
serve as a review for some and as a beginning for others. An
important starting point in any discussion of lung cancer is an
epidemiological survey of the topic (Chapter I). For those who do
not avoid the hazards and present with symptoms, what is the most
logical approach in determining the diagnosis (Chapter II). This
chapter is intended to provide a general overview of the subjects
covered in detail in the remainder of the text."

"Lead poisoning is one of the most common and preventable
pediatric health problems today". US Centers for Disease
Control
Between one and a half to two million children under the age of
six -- one out of eleven American preschoolers -- have elevated
levels of lead in their blood, a condition that can cause damage to
their developing brains, resulting in learning disabilities,
behavior problems, and decreased IQs. A severe problem that affects
not only children from our poorest neighborhoods but also those
from many middle- and upper-income families, lead poisoning is most
often caused by the lead-based paint that is present on the walls,
woodwork and facades of 75% of all American homes built before 1989
-- 57 million US homes and apartments.
Getting The Lead Out: The Complete Resource on How to Prevent
and Cope with Lead Poisoning is the first comprehensive,
action-oriented book on this compelling health issue. It defines
and elaborates on the major sources of lead in the home and
environment, medical concerns, prevention strategies, and
techniques for controlling lead hazards, while offering advice to
parents and homeowners on where to turn should their child -- or
home -- be found to have high lead levels.

This book is clearly organized to show the need for and the design
of Collaborative Professionalism with 5 key country cases- China,
Norway, Colombia, Ontario, and the US. In the second part of the
book these cases are used to uncover 10 tenets of collaborative
professionalism such as collective efficacy, collaborative inquiry,
and collaborating with students and shows how they work together
for success. The final part clearly outlines practices we needs to
stop happening (high teacher turnover), what should continue
happening(good feedback), and what should start happening
(empowering students more).

Infallability is a deeply misunderstood idea, within as well as
outside the Catholic Church. It remains a subject of great
theological debate, especially regarding papal infallibility and
the ordinary magisterium of the Church. In The Gift of
Infallibility, theologian James T. OConnor clarifies the idea of
infallibility. He provides a helpful translation of the relatio or
official explanation by Bishop Gasser given at Vatican I, the
Church council that defined the dogma of papal infallibility. Also
included in this important volume is the first draft of chapter 4
of the dogmatic constitution Pastor Aeternus, as well as the final,
official chapter of the constitution. The volume concludes with a
recently updated theological summary on the topic of infallibility
by Father OConnor. The Gift of Infallibility is immensely important
for theologians and others who wish to understand the way by which
the Holy Spirit safeguards the Church from error.
