Sommario/riassunto |
|
Double or Nothing is a concrete novel in which the words become physical materials on the page. Federman gives each of these pages a shape or structure, most often a diagram or picture. The words move, cluster, jostle, and collide in a tour de force full of puns, parodies, and imitations. Within these startling and playful structures Federman develops two characters and two narratives. These stories are simultaneous and not chronological. The first deals with the narrator and his effort to make the book itself; the second, the story the narrator intends to tell, presents a young ma |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This work is an essential resource for medical students seeking a deep, long-term understanding of anatomy. Combining and updating two of the author’s previous Springer titles—one on gross anatomy and another on medical neuroanatomy—this book also includes a wealth of new material designed to support comprehensive learning. Rather than emphasizing rote memorization, this guide helps students grasp the most complex anatomical concepts they will encounter in their first year of medical school, with a focus on clinical application. Each topic is presented with real-world scenarios in mind, making it a valuable reference not only for preclinical students but also for third- and fourth-year trainees looking for a refresher during clinical rotations. The book is organized into three sections: Section One covers the gross anatomy of the head and neck, abdomen, thorax, pelvis and perineum, lower limb, upper limb, and back. Section Two presents clinical neuroanatomy in a lesion-based format, emphasizing diagnosis through signs and symptoms. Section Three explores embryology and organ system development, also with a clinical focus. Comprehensive, accessible, and richly illustrated, Gross Anatomy, Neuroanatomy, and Embryology for Medical Students: The Ultimate Survival Guide is a must-have companion for medical students navigating the challenging world of anatomy. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Among its key responsibilities, the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) plans and synchronizes operations against terrorist networks. At any given moment, SOF are likely to be engaged in some state of the planning or execution of special operations in many countries around the world, spanning a wide range of environments and mission. SOF therefore must be capable of operating in environments ranging from tropical jungle to arctic, maritime to desert, subterranean to mountainous, and rural to urban. Within this vast range additional factors may influence technical and operational requirements including |

weather, topography, bathymetry, geology, flora, fauna, and human population density. All of these factors must be weighed in terms of the challenges they pose to supporting communications and operational security. In short, SOF must maintain the capability to operate globally, in any environment, angainst any threats that can be countered by its unique capabilities. Sensing and Supporting Communications Capabilities for Special Operations Forces focuses primarily on the key core SOF task of special reconnaissance, to determine SOF-specific sensing and supporting communications needs and mapping them to existing and emerging technologies. The book discusses preliminary observations, issuees, and challenges, and identifies additional capabilities and technology areas that should be addressed. |
