Very few studies have examined the worldview of the Anishinaabeg from within the culture itself and none have explored the Anishinaabe worldview in relation to their efforts to maintain their culture in the present-day world. This book fills that gap. Focusing mainly on the Minnesota Anishinaabeg, Lawrence Gross explores how their worldview works to create a holistic way of living. However, as Gross also argues, the Anishinaabeg saw the end of their world early in the 20th century and experienced what he calls 'postapocalypse stress syndrome.' As such, the book further explores how the values engendered by the worldview of the Anishinaabeg are finding expression in the modern world as they seek to rebuild their society.

Although topology was recognized by Gauss and Maxwell to play a pivotal role in the formulation of electromagnetic boundary value problems, it is a largely unexploited tool for field computation. The development of algebraic topology since Maxwell provides a framework for linking data structures, algorithms, and computation to topological aspects of three-dimensional electromagnetic boundary value problems. This book attempts to expose the link between Maxwell and a modern approach to algorithms. The first chapters lay out the relevant facts about homology and cohomology, stressing their interpretations in electromagnetism. These topological structures are subsequently tied to variational formulations in electromagnetics, the finite element method, algorithms, and certain aspects of numerical linear algebra. A recurring theme is the formulation of and algorithms for the problem of making branch cuts for computing magnetic scalar potentials and eddy currents. Appendices bridge the gap between the material presented and standard expositions of differential forms, Hodge decompositions, and tools for realizing representatives of homology classes as embedded manifolds.

Over the years, interventional radiology has developed many effective and less invasive procedures. As the number and types of interven tions increase, radiologists are becoming more and more involved in clinical patient care. This includes pre-interventional patient workup, sophisticated medical therapy and monitoring during interventions, regular inpatient rounds and complete follow-up management. Therefore interventional radiologists are faced with a broad spectrum of clinical and pharmacological questions. Adjunctive medical therapy should increase the patient's comfort, should improve the success rates, and should further reduce the risks of the procedures. In order to fulfill our responsibility to the patients, a profound knowledge of certain drugs is indispensable. This in cludes, for example, sedatives, analgesics, cardiovascular drugs and agents to prevent infections, thromboembolic complications or restenoses. Moreover, a good monitoring system during complex procedures will increase the safety of radiological interventions. These topics and several more have been presented and discussed during an international symposium in Basel, Switzerland, in January 1992. It is the benefit of the authors, that all these results could be published shortly after the event. Connected with our thanks to all the co-workers the editors hope to find this publication assisting an increasing number of safe interventions.

Native American Rhetoric is the first book to explore rhetorical traditions from within individual Native communities and Native languages. The essays set a new standard for how rhetoric is talked about, written about, and taught. The contributors argue that Native rhetorical practices have their own interior logic, which is grounded in the morality and religion of their given traditions. Once we understand the ways in which Native rhetorical practices are rooted in culture and tradition, the phenomenological expression of the speech patterns becomes clear. The value of Native communities and their languages is underlined throughout the essays. Lawrence W. Gross and the contributors successfully represent several, but not all, Native communities across the United States and Mexico, including the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, Choctaw, Nahua, Chickasaw and Chicana, Tohono O'odham, Navajo, Apache, Hupa, Lower Coast Salish, Koyukon, Tlingit, and Nez Perce. Native American Rhetoric will be an essential resource for continued discussions of Native American rhetorical practices in and beyond the discipline of rhetoric.

Die Gefasschirurgie wandelt sich. Neue Verfahren scheinen Altbewahrtes abzuloesen. Die medizinischen Strukturen erfahren entsprechende AEnderungen. Ist eine Kooperation zwischen der Gefasschirurgie und der Interventionellen Radiologie moeglich? Im Juni 1997 trafen sich namhafte Spezialisten auf dem Kongress fur Gefasschirurgie am AK Hamburg-Harburg. Neben einer Bestandsaufnahme der gegenwartigen Situation und ihren empirischen Wurzeln, wurden Perspektiven fur die Zukunft der Gefasschirurgie vorgestellt und diskutiert.

Das Buch geht auf zwei aktuelle radiologische Themen ein: Die Kernspintomographie des Gef{ systems und die Implantation von Gef{ endoprothesen (Stents). Zun{chst werden die methodischen Grundlagen der MR-Angiographie ausf}hrlich erl{utert und ihre verschiedenen Anwendunsgebiete besprochen. Neben einer Standortbestimmung der Methode wird auf ihre Grenzen und zuk}nftigen Entwicklungsm-glichkeiten eingegangen. Au er der MR-Angiographie werden Anwendungsm-glichkeiten und Ergebnisse der konventionellen Kernspintomographie des Gef{ systems diskutiert. Abgerundet wird der erste Teil des Buches durch einen Beitrag }ber die Spektroskopie bei kardiovaskul{ren Erkrankungen. Die Ausf}hrungen }ber Stentimplantationen beginnen mit einer Schilderung der Pathphysiologie, Mechanik und medikament-sen Zusatztherapie von Gef{ verschl}ssen. Im weiteren wird auf klinische Ergebnisse der Stentimplantationen in verschiedenen Gef{ regionen eingegangen. Die Ergebnisse wurden von erfahrenen Arbeitsgruppen zusammengestellt. Dem Leser soll eine aktuelle, kritische Standortbestimmung und eine Entscheidungshilfe f}r die Anwendung der verschiedenen Technologien geboten werden.

Die klassische angiographische Roentgenuntersuchung ist auch heute noch "Goldener Standard", an dem sich alle anderen Verfahren messen mussen. Mit der raschen Entwicklung der Computer-Technologie beginnt die digitale Bildtechnik uber die Nuklearmedizin, Computertomographie, Sonographie und Magnetresonanztomographie hinaus nun auch in traditionellen Bereichen der Radiologie Fuss zu fassen. Ein Schritt in diese Richtung ist die digitale Subtraktionsangiographie (DSA). In enger Zusammenarbeit haben Gefasschirurgen, Neurochirurgen, Kardiochirurgen, Neurologen, Internisten und Padiatern in den vergangenen Jahren neue Moeglichkeiten, aber auch die Grenzen der DSA aufgezeigt. Dieses Manual fasst den aktuellen Stand der Erfahrungen zusammen und bietet dem Radiologen wichtige Hinweise fur die tagliche Arbeit an, indem es die den jeweiligen Fragestellungen angemessenen Untersuchungstechniken beschreibt und auf Fehler- und Irrtumsmoeglichkeiten aufmerksam macht. Insbesondere vermittelt das Buch eine Reihe von in langjahriger Erfahrung gewonnenen Kniffen, die zur Verbesserung der Untersuchungsqualitat beitragen. Daruber hinaus setzt es sich kritisch mit den Indikationen auseinander und ordnet die DSA in das Spektrum der bekannten radiologischen und nichtradiologischen Untersuchungsverfahren ein. Es wendet sich damit an alle AErzte, die mit Gefasserkrankungen im engeren und weiteren Sinne konfrontiert werden.

Die Rerausgeber haben mich mit der Bitte geehrt, zu diesem Buch ein Vorwort zu schreiben. Ich komme diesem Wunsche gerne nacho Die Verfasser weisen daraufhin, daB das von ihnen beschrie- bene Konzept der Behandlung von QuerschnittgeHihmten auf den von mir wahrend des 2. Weltkrieges entwickelten und an- gewandten Prinzipien zur Rehabilitation dieser schwer behin- derten, seit lahrhunderten vernachlassigten Menschen beruht. Unter den zur Anwendung kommenden Methoden war es ins- besondere die grundsatzliche Neuorientierung der Physiothe- rapie von einer insgesamt recht passiven zu einer gezielt dyna- mischen Arbeitsrichtung, die sich fiberraschend erfolgreich und segensreich auswirkte. Wahrend diese Tatsache heute all- gemein als selbstverstandlich anerkannt wird, erwies es sich in der ersten Zeit der Arbeit im National Spinal Injuries Centre in Stoke Mandeville angesichts der fiber lahrhunderte beste- henden Vorurteile als keineswegs leicht, dieses neue Konzept der umfassenden Behandlung und Betreuung des Rficken- markverletzten durchzusetzen. Reute nimmt die moderne Physiotherapie eine entscheidende Aufgabe in der Primarbehandlung ebenso wie bei der fort- laufenden Betreuung des Paraplegikers und des Tetraplegi- kers wahr. Der Physiotherapeut ebenso wie der Ergotherapeut bilden, zusammen mit dem pflegerischen Dienst, das Rfick- grat des therapeutischen Teams, dessen Zusammenwirken die umfassende physische, psychische und soziale Rehabilitation des Querschnittgelahmten ermoglicht. Die Verfasser schopf en aus ihren langjahrigen Erfahrungen auf diesem komplexen Gebiet der Medizin - sie haben es in klarer und fiberzeugender Weise dargestellt. Moge diesem Buch ein voller Erfolg beschieden sein.

In the fall of 1959, Harper's Magazine published a special supplement on the state of writing and the American literary scene. The supplement was greeted with a broadside of commendation and a fusillade of cavil, and has since become recognized as the most useful brief survey of the contemporary state of the American writing arts and of their fellow travelers, the spoken word, the typescript word, the filmed and televised word, and the publishing memorandum. In this newly reissued volume in the Rutgers University Press Classics Imprint, Writing in America proves to be as stimulating as it was in 1960. Here, writers including Robert Brustein, Stanley Kunitz, and C.P. Snow examine the state of writing in American novels, films, and television candidly and critically. The result is a collection of essays that showcase a first-rate and highly entertaining piece of reporting on the American literary scene that resonate in 2017.
