Orthopaedics and orthopaedic trauma are highly complex subjects that can prove difficult to quantify, but accurate measurement is required for setting standards of care and for assessing the severity of an injury. This book will help the reader assess outcome instruments, and provides many references to sources of instruments and techniques to use. It aims to assist the reader in making an informed selection from the different scoring systems available. Outcome Measures in Orthopaedics and Orthopaedic Trauma is a combined and fully revised new edition of the highly regarded Outcome Measures in Orthopaedics and Outcome Measures in Trauma, the first books devoted to the topic of outcome measures for orthopaedic and trauma surgeons and researchers.

Winning the Peace: Australia's Campaign to Change the Asia-Pacific

Winning the Peace explores how Australian governments have engaged with Asia over the last thirty years, attempting to use their defence and foreign policies to shape the region. While there were times of tension during this period—such as the spikes around the end of the Cold War and during the early years of the War on Terror—the Asian region has been largely defined by peace. Because of this peace and thanks to Australia's relative size as a middle power, governments' attempts to change how other states act and think has not been through the use of force but by military and diplomatic engagement and persuasion. Australia's smaller size has also meant it has had to be strategic in its efforts: to determine which changes were priorities, to reorganise and develop resources, to deploy those resources effectively and efficiently, and to sustain its efforts in the face of competition and rejection. Winning the Peace focuses on the three main 'campaigns' Australian governments have undertaken since the early 1980s to reshape the Asia-Pacific region in the national interest.

This volume commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre (SDSC). The Centre is Australia’s largest body of scholars dedicated to the analysis of the use of armed force in its political context and one of the earliest generation of post-World War II research institutions on strategic affairs. The book features chapters replete with stories of university politics, internal SDSC activities, cooperation among people with different social and political values, and conflicts between others, as well as the Centre’s public achievements. It also details the evolution of strategic studies in Australia and the contribution of academia and defence intellectuals to national defence policy.

Trinidadian Anthropologist Andrew Carr had a deep and abiding love for "Ole Time" Trinidad. In this scholarly study, written in the early 1950s and first published in 1955, he traces the cutlural beliefs, traditions and practices of the Rada, a group of African settlers from Dahomey (now Nigeria), in Belmont, Port of Spain, Trinidad, in the 19th and early 20th century. Carr describes the founding of the Rada Compound in the 1870s and how he experienced it in the 1950s, with the attendant changes in the religious practices and ceremonies, the musical and dance expressions, the sacrifices to the particular pantheon of the inhabitants, their food and their memories. "The existence, up until recently, of the Belmont Rada Community has helped in no small way to mould the personality of that very parituclar part of our capital city," writes Publisher Gérard A. Besson in his Note to the first edition in 1989.
