Sommario/riassunto

The medieval world was full of malicious demons: fallen angels commissioned to tempt humans away from God. From demons disguised as beautiful women to demons that took frightening animal-like forms, this book explores the history of thought about demons: what they were, what they could and could not do, and how they affected human lives. It considers the debates, stories, and writing that eventually gave shape to the witchcraze of the early modern period.

Sommario/riassunto

In contemporary race and sexuality studies, the topic of animality emerges almost exclusively in order to index the dehumanization that makes discrimination possible. 'Bestial Traces' argues that a more fundamental disavowal of human animality conditions the bestialization of racial and sexual minorities.

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides all the information required for the optimal and practical use of nuclear medicine techniques, which are undergoing rapid development yet remain underutilized. Each chapter focuses on one particular clinical system or disease area. The first section of each chapter describes the nuclear medicine protocols and illustrates normal image patterns observed on commonly and uncommonly performed scans as a reference and explains when and how the procedures should be performed. The following section illustrates both the imaging patterns of different diseases and the diagnostic role of individual studies. Comparisons with other modalities are provided, and the rationale for and effective utilization of each study are discussed. In the 2nd edition of the book, there are above 300 case reviews, a new chapter for radionuclide treatments and new imaging protocols. In addition, the normal patterns on relevant morphologic modalities are documented in an appendix. The book is aimed at Nuclear Medicine



physicians and technologists with different levels of training and expertise and also at radiologists who practice nuclear medicine and to radiology residents.
