Featuring more than 400 illustrations, this volume demonstrates the surgical procedures used to treat thoracic malignancies and the anatomic structures and relationships encountered during each procedure. It is the first text to combine meticulous surgeon's-eye drawings of thoracic anatomy with step-by-step presentations of specific open and thoracoscopic techniques for the lung, mediastinum, trachea, chest wall, spine, and esophagus. 
The illustrations, drawn by Dr. Wind, are derived from intraoperative experiences, operative photographs, and cadaver dissections. They clarify the complex arrangement of intrathoracic structures in the presence of an invasive tumor. Alongside the drawings are instructions on technique, plus commentaries by expert consulting editors.

The appearance of mediums, those who claim to be able to communicate with the dead, is not a recent phenomenon. Mediums have been practicing since the late 1800s, and in the Victorian Era had a strong presence throughout the United States and the world. However, we have never seen the sheer number of such practitioners that exist today. The media has contributed to this proliferation, as TV shows and films involving paranormal and spiritual themes have enjoyed great success. But there is a problem. The overwhelming majority of mediums today cannot do what they claim. Some are frauds, others are inexperienced, and many delude themselves into believing that they have such ability. These practitioners have no business sitting with the bereaved and they can do great harm. On the other hand, there are some mediums that truly can speak to the dead, do so at a very high level of accuracy, and provide an invaluable service to those who have suffered the loss of a loved one. This book provides a guide for all those who have either sat with a medium or intend to do so. You will learn what to expect, how to evaluate the information that you are told, and how mediums operate. The author includes commentary on evidence for life after death and includes personal accounts that are backed up by research.

Life has always been a mixture of sadness and joy, and the balance between the two often seems skewed in one direction. Bob’s life has been filled with both unspeakable tragedy and glorious moments of profound joy, leaving him to ponder if there is any design, meaning or purpose to this physical existence. The story of his life may at times make you cry, but the tears will be balanced by his hilarious experiences, reflections, and observations. Considering that he once desperately wanted to die, and eventually moving to enjoy a productive life, there is much inspiration to be found in these pages. Living life with the knowledge that permanence is an illusion allows us to learn how to reason less with our brains, and experience more with our hearts.\nDue to a twist in this autobiographical journey, the reader will learn a great deal about what comes next after we exit this world. This will require an open mind but will hopefully provide great insight into the question of whether we are inhabitants of a designed or random universe. The prospect of an afterlife has been pondered since the dawn of man. It’s one of the great mysteries of life, but there is clarity if one digs deep.

This book constructs a theory of ruins that celebrates their vitality and unity in aesthetic experience. Its argument draws upon over 100 illustrations prepared in 40 countries. Ruins flourish as matter, form, function, incongruity, site, and symbol. Ruin underlies cultural values in cinema, literature, and philosophy. Finally, ruin guides meditations upon our mortality and endangered world.
