Neurosurgery: An Introductory Text

This is a clear, incisive introduction to neurosurgery. It is designed for the medical student learning about neurosurgery, the neurological or surgical resident who is rotating on neurosurgery, the practicing neurologist, internist or general surgeon who wants a succinct introduction to neurosurgery, and the neurosurgical trainee in his or her early years. The book's emphasis is on the diagnosis and management of common neurosurgical disorders. It covers in a concise, practical fashion the emergency, elective, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that neurosurgeons use. The text is divided into four sections. The first section deals with neurosurgical diagnosis and includes chapters on radiographic and physiological diagnostic modalities. The next section focuses on management decisions including a detailed discussion of neurosurgical emergencies. The third part describes common neurosurgical disorders such as trauma, tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, infections, CSF abnormalities and degenerative spinal disorders. The last section summarizes several special topics in neurosurgery, including pediatric neurosurgery and stereotactic and functional neurosurgery.

COVID-19 has brought about a rupture in the trajectory of our societies, presenting the world with an unprecedented crisis, but also providing a point of reflection and an opening to imagine and articulate alternative futures. "Infectious Futures: Reflections, Visions, and Worlds Through and Beyond COVID-19" brings together 28 essays, articles, and conversations from leading scholars and thinkers from around the world, who explore the existential questions that COVID-19 confronts us with, and who analyse and imagine how we may navigate this crisis to create preferred futures. This book challenges many of the core assumptions of our era and invites us to see this moment as peculiar and transitory-and ripe with the potential for change. Amid the loss and grief is the possibility for renewal, as new visions emerge and lead to experiments and new pathways.

The inventor of simultaneous colour printing, Stanley William Hayter (1901 -- 88) was the most influential printmaker of this century. The founder of Atelier 17 in Paris, he had contact with all the major Cubist, Surrealist and Abstract Expressionist painters of the day. This definitive catalogue, begun under Hayter's direction, gives full information on some 450 original prints and has established itself as an important reference work for all those concerned with twentieth-century art and printmaking. It confirms Hayter's stature as a great artist, teacher and technical innovator. His widow, Desiree Moorhead, is co-author of the catalogue.

Dr. Black, who has operated on more than 3,000 patients with brain tumors, is uniquely qualified to discuss both clinical treatment of and research into brain tumors.

• "Treatment options" outlines the complex array of available treatments in a sequential, logical, and thorough manner, enabling readers to make informed decisions.
• "Recovery" describes how to deal with the aftermath, addressing issues ranging from physical scars to speech and occupational therapy. 
Dr. Black believes that more than half of brain tumor cases can be resolved with relatively minor side effects or none at all. Equipped with this informative book, patients and their family and friends can learn how to fight brain tumors effectively, putting them on the path to wellness.

The Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is regarded, along with Van Gogh and Gauguin, as one of the fathers of Expressionism. This new monograph provides a general introduction to Munch’s prints in the context of 20th-century European art and is the first to describe all of the innovative printmaking techniques used by the artist. Forty of his finest prints from the unrivalled collection of the Munch Museum, Oslo, have been selected to illustrate these techniques. Together, they confirm Munch’s position as a leading graphic artist who produced some of the most powerful images of modern printmaking.
