This book features updated coverage of conduction tissues, microscopy and imaging techniques, improved ischaemic section and congenital aspects. It contains new coverage of transplantation, biopsy pathology and thrombolysis in coronary artery disease. This book should be suitable for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and pathologists.

Since the advent of cardiac surgery, and more especially surgical procedures on the open heart, the importance of fundamental understanding of anatomical details concerning congenital malformations and acquired pathological changes has been of great significance. The success of cardiac surgery is greatly dependent on excellent operative techniques, but excellence of technique can be dissipated without a firm knowledge of cardiac morphology. "Surgical Anatomy of the Heart" provides the reader with an illustrated account of the anatomical and physiological concepts of changes within the heart. This new edition incorporates sections on acquired malformations, includes some new views to take into account recently developed operative procedures, contains more clinical photographs of actual operations and cuts out many of the "post mortem" specimens in favour of the more realistic clinical views.

Surgical Anatomy of the Heart

Wilcox, Benson R.

<p>This is the latest edition of what has become a classic textbook on cardiac anatomy. The new edition will be of interest not only to the surgeon, but also to the cardiologist, anaesthesiologist and surgical pathologist. Chapter One introduces the surgical approaches to the heart, and will help to orientate the reader to the illustrations and detailed descriptions that follow. Topics covered include the normal surgical anatomy of the cardiac chambers, heart valves, and the system for circulation and conduction within the heart. It provides the essential anatomical knowledge required to assess and interpret the malformations, lesions, abnormalities, and positional anomalies discussed and illustrated in detail. Full colour surgical and pathological photographs accompany almost all of the anatomical descriptions, and detailed labelling enhances the user-friendly nature of the book. Detailed colour line diagrams generated specifically for the book also help to explain concepts and simplify complex descriptions.</p>

On March 23, 1996, a The Day After...in Cyberspace exercise with approximately 60 participants was conducted at RAND's Washington D.C. offices. The purpose was to generate suggestions and options regarding research and development initiatives to enhance the security of the U.S. information infrastructure.

RAND has embarked on a three-year effort, sponsored by the National Intelligence Council's Strategic Estimates Program, to chart the course of changes brought about by the information revolution over the next 10 to 20 years. As a first step, RAND convened in November 1999 an international conference on political/governmental, business/financial, and social/cultural trends. Across the diverse conference discussions,  a shared vision emerged of an information revolution future of more "information work" and new business models, an increase in electronic commerce, challenges to the nation state, creation of a number of sub-, trans-, and supranational groupings, more porous borders, and new fault lines within and between nations. The world can expect increasing disparities (winners and losers), concerns about privacy, and effects on national cultures.

A conference sponsored by the National Intelligence Council in May 2000 concentrated on technical trends in the information revolution focusing on the resulting new artifacts and services that might become widespread during the next 20 years.  Participants saw a convergence of voice and data communications and a quantum jump in bandwidth during the next two decades. A multitude of diverse, powerful, inexpensive sensors and devices capable of limited-distance wireless communications will come onto the market and computing and information systems will become more ubiquitous, with convergence of wireless telephones, voice and e-mail messaging, and smart appliances. A likely shift in business emphasis from products to services will have an impact in such areas as health care, education, and entertainment. Participants also discussed individual and societal tensions that could arise from these developments and the threats to intellectual property rights and to individual privacy.

In 2006, RAND conducted the National Computer Security Survey (NCSS), the first nationally representative cybersecurity survey of businesses within the United States on behalf of the Bureau of Justice Statistics and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This report documents the methodology used to develop and field the NCSS, as well as the sampling design and weighting methodology used.
