Sommario/riassunto

This book rethinks the origins and nature of magical realism and provides detailed readings of key novels by Asturias, Carpentier, García Márquez, Rushdie, and Okri. Identifying two different strands of the mode, one characterized by faith, the other by irreverence, Warnes makes available a new vocabulary for the discussion of magical realism.

Sommario/riassunto

"As medical information expands at an exponential pace, the ability to quickly identify relevant articles becomes increasingly difficult. Rapid Reference Review in Sports Medicine: Pivotal Papers Revealed by Drs. Mark D. Miller, Cyril Mauffrey and David J. Hak offers a simple way to access and review the key points from the most relevant and important published articles. With Rapid Reference Review in Sports Medicine: Pivotal Papers Revealed orthopedic trainees may be able to quickly review several articles in preparation for a morning conference presentation of patients with a specific injury, while practicing surgeons may be able to advise patients on the relative benefits of one treatment over another. Key references include: - Classic articles - Landmark articles - Up-to-date reviews - Important clinical trials Each article is formatted to include an article citation, a summation of the abstract, a summary of key points, and author commentary. This enables readers to quickly review "bottom-line" information from the most important articles and clinical trials in orthopedic sports medicine in order to effectively plan and guide treatment. Rapid Reference Review in Sports Medicine: Pivotal Papers Revealed is a great literary reference that will prove highly useful to orthopedic residents, fellows, and physician assistants"--Provided by publisher.
