This essential handbook provides a practical, accessible guide to all emergency situations encountered in the critical care setting. Emergencies are very common in the critical care setting and this book helps critical care staff identify patients at risk, how to manage them, and be prepared. To help the reader find advice quickly, most chapters begin with a generic description of how to manage emergencies affecting that system, or patient group. This is followed by details of specific diagnoses and how they should be managed. The author team, where possible, follow the 'ABC' approach, which is not only the standard approach to emergency management, but also a widely-used scheme for documenting daily reviews on ICU, and for documenting trauma management. This second edition covers new areas of importance, including sections on how to deal with adverse events and critical incidents involving critically ill patients, patient-safety and improved patient rescue packages, and on the practicalities of infection control procedures. Normal values have been combined in to one short chapter for easy reference. Easy to use and evidence-based, this book will help all critical care staff involved with the management of emergencies, from the new junior doctor to the experienced consultant in a portable and easily-readable format.

A novel in the grand tradition of Michener, Return to Mardi Gras tells everything about Mardi Gras in New Orleans 
Some novels contain a chapter about Mardi Gras, always set in the French Quarter. In Return to Mardi Gras half of the novel is set at Mardi Gras, and not only describes Mardi Gras in the French Quarter, but also describes how Mardi Gras is celebrated across New Orleans by the locals. It describes the family nature of Mardi Gras for the locals, and the neighborhood parties along the parade route and across New Orleans. 
Return to Mardi Gras is an exciting novel for anyone who has wondered what Mardi Gras in New Orleans is really like. It is a love story and the story of life in the French Quarter, and contains a day by day description of Mardi Gras including the festivities and parties in the French Quarter, Mardi Gras by the locals in the elegant Garden District and the suburbs, the parades, Mardi Gras Balls, Cajun Mardi Gras, street entertainers, and the history of New Orleans, the French Creoles and the Cajuns. 
Jim, a 30-year-old attorney in New Orleans has an affair with a strikingly beautiful 22 year old court reporter named Aimee who lives in the French Quarter. He leaves his wife and young son and moves to the French Quarter, and much of the novel describes life in the quaint historic French Quarter. They party in the French Quarter with Craig, a doctor doing his residency in New Orleans who is a playboy; George, an attorney who practices law from his apartment in the French Quarter and stays one step ahead of the Bar Association Grievance Committee; Faye, a single mother living in the French Quarter who is trying to grab all the pleasure out of life she can while she waits for the man of her dreams; and Bill, an attorney from a wealthy family who has trouble holding a hold a job because of his hostility toward authority figures. Together they party in the French Quarter waiting for Mardi Gras because it will somehow give meaning to their lost lives. When Mardi Gras arrives the! things that have been building up all year come to a head. 
During Mardi Gras Jim re-establishes a relationship with his three-year-old son while taking him to Mardi Gras parades, Mardi Gras parties, and to see the troubadour street entertainers; jugglers, clowns, musicians, acrobats, pantomines and others in the French Quarter, and has to decide which is the life for him, the carefree hedonistic life of the French Quarter or the family life in the suburbs. 
Return to Mardi Gras is also a philosophical novel, and contains symbolism comparing life in the French Quarter with the Odyssey, as well as other symbolism. The most unique and interesting aspect of Return to Mardi Gras is that it paints a true picture of what Mardi Gras is like for New Orleans locals. Whereas other novels might have a brief chapter about the wild Mardi Gras in the French Quarter, this novel also describes Mardi Gras as the locals enjoy it, a family Mardi Gras with parades geared to children and neighborhood parties with friends and family. It is a complete picture of the real Mardi Gras as enjoyed by families in the suburbs and all across New Orleans and southern Louisiana.

Indigenous Peoples and the Collaborative Stewardship of Nature

Involving Indigenous peoples and traditional knowledge into natural resource management produces more equitable and successful outcomes. Unfortunately, argue Anne Ross and co-authors, even many “progressive” methods fail to produce truly equal partnerships. This book offers a comprehensive and global overview of the theoretical, methodological, and practical dimensions of co-management. The authors critically evaluate the range of management options that claim to have integrated Indigenous peoples and knowledge, and then outline an innovative, alternative model of co-management, the Indigenous Stewardship Model. They provide detailed case studies and concrete details for application in a variety of contexts. Broad in coverage and uniting robust theoretical insights with applied detail, this book is ideal for scholars and students as well as for professionals in resource management and policy.

Climate Change and Energy Insecurity

Climate change is now recognised as one of the greatest challenges facing the international community and when coupled with energy production and use - the most significant contributor to climate change - and the related security problems the double threat to international security and human development is of the highest order.  This wide-ranging book brings together leading thinkers from academia, government and civil society to examine and address the global insecurity and development challenges arising from the twin thrust of climate change and the energy supply crunch.  Part one considers energy. It analyses the challenges of meeting future energy demands and the ongoing and future security-related conflicts over energy. Coverage includes security and development concerns related to the oil and gas, nuclear, bio-fuels and hydropower sectors, ensuring energy access for all and addressing sustainable consumption and production in both developed and rapidly industrializing countries such as India, China, Brazil and South Africa.  Part two analyses how climate change contributes to global insecurity and presents a consolidated overview of the potential threats and challenges it poses to international peace and development. Coverage includes future water scenarios including a focus on scarcity in the Middle East, food security, biodiversity loss, land degradation, the changing economics of climate change, adaptation and the special case of small island states.  The final part lays out the potential avenues and mechanisms available to the international community to address and avert climate and energy instability via the multilateral framework under the United Nations. It also addresses mechanisms for resource and knowledge transfer from industrialized to developing countries to ensure a low-carbon energy transition by focusing on the rapid deployment of clean energy technologies and ways to tackle income and employment insecurity created by the transition away from traditional energy sources.  This book offers the most comprehensive international assessment of the challenges and solutions for tackling the global insecurity arising from climate change and energy provision and use. It is essential reading for students, researchers and professionals across international relations, security, climate change and the energy sectors.
