Butler tells the story of how AA was established in Ireland (the first European country to start an AA group) in 1946, and how it gradually came to establish itself as a mainstream Irish institution, the need for which has become clearer as alcohol consumption levels increase. AA is described as a hybrid institution, straddling healthcare and religion, and the book looks in detail at how early Irish members negotiated working relationships with the mental health system and the dominant Catholic Church. The book also focuses on AA's commitment to the avoidance of conventional, organisational management systems, involving clearly-identified leaders and top-down instructions for front-line members. The survival of AA in Ireland, as elsewhere, is attributed primarily to the fact that it has remained firmly outside of alcohol politics, seeing itself as a 'fellowship' which exists only to help individuals who seek its help in relation to their own powerlessness over alcohol. It is recognised, paradoxically, that AA in Ireland could not have negotiated such a smooth entry to this country without the energies and skills of its early leaders, and this book documents the activities of these leaders who - with the assistance of AA in the United States of America - strategically managed the fellowship's establishment in a potentially hostile environment.

One of the main reasons that this Fascicle was undertaken is that for some years there has been no single, up-to-date book containing extensive information on benign and reactive lymphoid conditions. Although malignant processes garner the majority of attention, it is the benign processes that have an underlying complexity that is often an illustration of the delicate interplay of many components of the active immune system. In diagnosing the pathologic specimen, a basic approach is: 1) to determine if the process is benign or malignant, 2) if malignant, to characterize the origin of the malignancy, and 3) to subclassify or identify the process. In some cases, the first part-the question of benign versus malignant-cannot be resolved by histomorphologic evaluation alone. The second part of the approach has become considerably easier with the advent of immunophenotypic analysis. The final issue, that of identification of the pathologic process, may be of greater or lesser importance, depending on the clinical situation. If an exact diagnosis can be made, it can have several benefits. In the case of neoplastic processes, it may indicate the type of treatment and the prognosis. In benign processes, there are other important benefits as well. Although some therapies may be instituted in benign conditions, often simply naming a thing can have great benefit to the patient. It is important to realize that even in the case of a purely reactive process, finding a name, a category, a classification, can provide real peace-of-mind to the patient. As American Journal of Clinical Pathology declares, "The hundreds of images are the greatest asset of this book.

Meat is a groundbreaking exploration of the difficult environmental, ethical and health issues surrounding the human consumption of animals. Garnering huge praise in the UK, this is a book that answers the question: should we be farming animals, or not? Not a simple answer, but one that takes all views on meat eating into account. It lays out in detail the reasons why we must indeed decrease the amount of meat we eat, both for the planet and for ourselves, and yet explores how different forms of agriculture--including livestock--shape our landscape and culture.At the heart of this book, Simon Fairlie argues that society needs to re-orient itself back to the land, both physically and spiritually, and explains why an agriculture that can most readily achieve this is one that includes a measure of livestock farming. It is a well-researched look at agricultural and environmental theory from a fabulous writer and a farmer, and is sure to take off where other books on vegetarianis

This volume, which expands and updates the first edition, is designed as a practical text to aid the radiation oncologist in the evaluation and treatment of benign diseases. An introductory chapter by an eminent malpractice lawyer clarifies the medical-legal implications of the radiation treatment of such diseases. Thereafter the various benign conditions are considered in alphabetical order; in each case a brief résumé is followed by citations of pertinent literature in both explanatory tables and reference lists. A special feature is the survey of current radiation practice in the United States. This complete update will be recognized as the standard text on radiation therapy for benign diseases.

An accidental bump to the side of his head was all it took for Mark Knoblauch’s world to start spinning . . . literally. What followed were months of confusion, frustration, and a bit of annoyance as to why a rapid onset of vertigo would set in anytime he looked upward. Eventually, he found his answer. It turns out he was feeling the effects of the most common vestibular disorder out there – BPPV. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is a condition that triggers vertigo when the head is placed in a particular position. With BPPV, however, the vertigo ceases once the head is repositioned. Despite its sometimes forceful symptoms, the underlying cause of BPPV is relatively minor and can typically be fixed with a quick visit to a medical professional’s office. Because of his own experience with BPPV, Mark wrote Understanding BPPV so that everyone affected by this condition can have a quality resource guide detailing just what BPPV is, how it occurs, and how it is treated. Particular attention is focused on the intricate anatomy of the ear, as well as how this anatomy is involved in generating the symptoms associated with BPPV. Mark also outlnes the latest research into BPPV and provides an overview of the various diagnostic tests and treatments used to help BPPV patients in many cases get back to a vertigo-free life.

Die Strahlentherapie gutartiger Erkrankungen ist zu Unrecht einesteils in Vergessen- heit geraten, andererseits fiirchtet man vor allem unerwiinschte oder gar gefahrliche Bestrahlungsfolgen. Die moglichen Gefahrdungen sind heute, dank Untersuchungen in den heiden letzten Jahrzehnten, gut bekannt. Bei richtiger Indikationsstellung und adaquater Technik sind die Gefahren bei Bestrahlung gutartiger Erkrankungen von gleicher GroBenordnung, wenn nicht kleiner, als diejenigen anderer medizinischer MaB- nahmen. In zahlreichen Fallen ist die Strahlentherapie die wirksamste, gelegentlich sogar die lebensrettende Behandlung. Auch kann sie angewandt werden, wenn andere Verfahren nicht zum gewiinschten Erfolg gefiihrt haben. Anzeigestellung, Methodik, Erfolgs- aussichten, mogliche Gefahrdung und ihre Vermeidung werden bei verschiedenen Er- krankungen beschrieben. Die Darstellung des derzeitigen Standes des Wissens auf dem Gebiet der Strahlentherapie gutartiger Erkrankungen gibt dem Fachmann ein wertvolles Hilfsmittel in die Hand und wird diese Behandlungsform zu der ihr gebiihrenden An- wendung fiihren. Bern, Aprill970 A. ZUPPINGER Preface In non-malignant diseases radiotherapy has on the one hand fallen into undeserved neglect and on the other aroused fears of undesirable and even dangerous sequelae. Today, as a result of studies carried out over the last 20 years, the risks of radiation are well understood. Given correct interpretation of symptoms and adequate technical resources, the risks of treating non-malignant diseases by irradiation are of the same order of magnitude, or less than those attending other medical procedures. Radiotherapy is very often the most effective treatment and on occasion can even be life-saving. It can also be used where other methods have failed.

The masculinity of those who serve in the American military would seem to beindisputable, yet it is full of contradictions. To become a warrior, one must renouncethose things in life that are perceived to be unmasculine. Yet at the same time, themilitary has encouraged and even mandated warriors to do exactly the opposite. Bring Me Men explores these contradictions in great detail and shows that theirinvisibility has been central to the concealment of American empire's darkest secrets.By examining case studies that expose these contradictions -- the phenomenon of maleon-male rape at the U.S. Naval Academy, for example, as well as historical and contemporaryattitudes toward cleanliness and filth -- Belkin utterly upends our understanding of the relationship between warrior masculinity, American empire and the fragile processes sustaining it.
