Fuller Torrey was diagnosed with prostate cancer, none of the books he could find was current enough or comprehensive enough to satisfy his need for information. This book is for the hundreds of thousands of other men who each year receive the same frightening diagnosis. It is the book Dr. Torrey wished he had when he was facing the countless questions that a man with prostate cancer, and his family and friends, all confront. Complete, up-to-date, and readable, the book explains how to come to terms with the diagnosis of prostate cancer, evaluate the severity of the disease, and assess the variety of treatment options and their complications. Many chapters provide information other books barely consider, such as a full discussion of the causes of prostate cancer and an evaluation of other books on the subject. Also included is a summary of the most useful Web sites. The author mixes his personal experience with factual material, and he maintains a reassuring sense of humor. His advice is practical, with dozens of tips and lists including "Ten Steps to Sanity for Men Recently Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer." With Dr. Torrey's book in hand, readers can now tackle all the important decisions about prostate cancer, confident in having the most accurate and complete information available. 410 0$aYale University Press health & wellness. 606 $aProstate$xCancer$xTreatment$vPopular works 606 $aProstate$xCancer$vPopular works 615 0$aProstate$xCancer$xTreatment 615 0$aProstate$xCancer 676 $a616.99/463 700 $aTorrey$b E.

Various economic variables including reserve coverage, current account balance to GDP, real GDP growth, macroeconomic stability, and terms of trade shocks are found to be significant determinants of Fund financing. Moreover, global conditions, including changes in real oil and non-oil commodity prices and world trade, are also significant. Therefore, the demand for Fund financing by LICs is likely to be cyclical in response to common shocks with its intensity depending on the severity and persistence of adverse shocks. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2009/263 606 $aFinancial crises 606 $aBalance of payments need$2imf 606 $aBalance of payments$2imf 606 $aCommodity Markets$2imf 606 $aCommodity prices$2imf 606 $aCurrent Account Adjustment$2imf 606 $aCurrent account balance$2imf 606 $aEconomic policy$2imf 606 $aEmpirical Studies of Trade$2imf 606 $aEnergy: Demand and Supply$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aNternational cooperation$2imf 606 $aOil prices$2imf 606 $aPrices$2imf 606 $aShort-term Capital Movements$2imf 606 $aTerms of trade$2imf 607 $aDeveloping countries 607 $aUnited States$2imf 615 0$aFinancial crises. 615 7$aBalance of payments need 615 7$aBalance of payments 615 7$aCommodity Markets 615 7$aCommodity prices 615 7$aCurrent Account Adjustment 615 7$aCurrent account balance 615 7$aEconomic policy 615 7$aEmpirical Studies of Trade 615 7$aEnergy: Demand and Supply 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aNternational cooperation 615 7$aOil prices 615 7$aPrices 615 7$aShort-term Capital Movements 615 7$aTerms of trade 676 $a332.152 700 $aBal Gunduz$b Yasemin$01816159 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960565603321 996 $aEstimating Demand for IMF Financing by Low-Income Countries in Response to Shocks$94371901 997 $aUNINA
