Sommario/riassunto |
|
During the decades of empire (1870-1914), legendary heroes and their astonishing deeds of conquest gave imperialism a recognizable human face. Henry Morton Stanley, Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, Charles Gordon, Jean-Baptiste Marchand, and Hubert Lyautey all braved almost unimaginable dangers among "savage" people for their nation's greater good. This vastly readable book, the first comparative history of colonial heroes in Britain and France, shows via unforgettable portraits the shift from public veneration of the peaceful conqueror to unbridled passion for the vanquishing hero. Edward Berenson argues that these five men transformed the imperial steeplechase of those years into a |

powerful "heroic moment." He breaks new ground by linking the era's "new imperialism" to its "new journalism"-the penny press-which furnished the public with larger-than-life figures who then embodied each nation's imperial hopes and anxieties. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"This book is a concise practical book on applied anatomy for invasive procedures for foundation and core trainees. Material is presented as procedures according to training pathways, rather than by anatomical area, so the information is ideally laid out for trainees needing to equip themselves with the skills and knowledge for each clinical procedure or technique. In the classic style of the "At a Glance" series, each procedure is covered across a double-page spread, with photographs of surface anatomy and relevant line drawings which highlight salient points for performing the procedure safely. The second page complements the illustrative material and includes a written description of the procedural technique, with top tips and common anatomical pitfalls. In addition, the text includes potential exam questions related to the anatomy or clinical practice aspect of each procedure. The book is for foundation doctors and core trainees, but may also be of interest to anyone who needs to master invasive procedures in a clinical setting"-- |
