Father Theodore Hesburgh is known for his rare energy and ability
to carry out a staggering variety of assignments with distinction.
During his career, he combined an exceptional blend and balance of
qualities - intellect, character, personality, spirituality, and
management skill. A man of enormous good will, he tried to embody
the compassion of Christ. Father Hesburgh served as president of
the University of Notre Dame from 1952 to 1987. This book examines
Father Hesburgh's personality, leadership qualities, management
strategies, and central role as a priest. It chronicles his
prominent position in advancing civil rights and explores his
relationship with famous people, among them John and Robert
Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, and Pope Paul VI. Finally,
the biography investigates unfamiliar aspects of his life: his
relationship with women and his six "adopted" children, his
attitude toward Notre Dame's high profile football program, and his
sometimes controversial views on the Vatican, celibacy, birth
control, abortion, and homosexuality.
This book provides a state-of-the-art look at the applied
biomechanics of accidental injury and prevention. The editors, Drs.
Narayan Yoganandan, Alan M. Nahum and John W. Melvin are recognized
international leaders and researchers in injury biomechanics,
prevention and trauma medicine. They have assembled renowned
researchers as authors for 29 chapters to cover individual aspects
of human injury assessment and prevention. This third edition is
thoroughly revised and expanded with new chapters in different
fields. Topics covered address automotive, aviation, military and
other environments. Field data collection; injury coding/scaling;
injury epidemiology; mechanisms of injury; human tolerance to
injury; simulations using experimental, complex computational
models (finite element modeling) and statistical processes;
anthropomorphic test device design, development and validation for
crashworthiness applications in topics cited above; and current
regulations are covered. Risk functions and injury criteria for
various body regions are included. Adult and pediatric populations
are addressed. The exhaustive list of references in many areas
along with the latest developments is valuable to all those
involved or intend to pursue this important topic on human injury
biomechanics and prevention. The expanded edition will interest a
variety of scholars and professionals including physicians,
biomedical researchers in many disciplines, basic scientists,
attorneys and jurists involved in accidental injury cases and
governmental bodies. It is hoped that this book will foster
multidisciplinary collaborations by medical and engineering
researchers and academicians and practicing physicians for injury
assessment and prevention and stimulate more applied research,
education and training in the field of accidental-injury causation
and prevention.
