Book SynopsisTheodore H. Stanley, M.D. W. Clayton Petty, M.D. Anesthesiology 1986 contains the Refresher Course manuscripts of the presentations of the 31st Annual Postgraduate Course in Anesthesiology which took place at the Westin Hotel Utah Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, February 14-18, 1986. The chapters reflect recent and future developments in anesthetic techniques, monitoring instruments and devices, and anesthetic drugs.

University Press of Mississippi Lonesome Melodies: The Lives and Music of the Stanley Brothers
Book SynopsisCarter and Ralph Stanley--the Stanley Brothers--are comparable to Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs as important members of the earliest generation of bluegrass musicians. In this first biography of the brothers, author David W. Johnson documents that Carter (1925-1966) and Ralph (b 1927) were equally important contributors to the tradition of old-time country music. Together from 1946 to 1966, the Stanley Brothers began their careers performing in the schoolhouses of southwestern Virginia and expanded their popularity to the concert halls of Europe. In order to re-create this post-World War II journey through the changing landscape of American music, the author interviewed Ralph Stanley, the family of Carter Stanley, former members of the Clinch Mountain Boys, and dozens of musicians and friends who knew the Stanley Brothers as musicians and men. The late Mike Seeger allowed Johnson to use his invaluable 1966 interviews with the brothers. Notable old-time country and bluegrass musicians such as George Shuffler, Lester Woodie, Larry Sparks, and the late Wade Mainer shared their recollections of Carter and Ralph. Lonesome Melodies begins and ends in the mountains of southwestern Virginia. Carter and Ralph were born there and had an early publicity photograph taken at the Cumberland Gap. In December 1966, pallbearers walked up Smith Ridge to bring Carter to his final resting place. In the intervening years, the brothers performed thousands of in-person and radio shows, recorded hundreds of songs and tunes for half a dozen record labels, and tried to keep pace with changing times while remaining true to the spirit of old-time country music. As a result of their accomplishments, they have become a standard of musical authenticity.

Ivan R Dee, Inc Our Culture, What's Left of It: The Mandarins and
Book SynopsisThis new collection of essays by the author of Life at the Bottom bears the unmistakable stamp of Theodore Dalrymple's bracingly clearsighted view of the human condition. In these pieces, Dr. Dalrymple ranges over literature and ideas, from Shakespeare to Marx, from the breakdown of Islam to the legalization of drugs. Here is a book that restores our faith in the central importance of literature and criticism to our civilization. Theodore Dalrymple is the best doctor-writer since William Carlos Williams. —Peggy Noonan. Includes When Islam Breaks Down, named the best journal article of 2004 by David Brooks of the New York Times.Trade ReviewDalrymple writes a clear and considered prose that makes him formidable indeed. -- David Pryce–Jones * Book Review Digest *Theodore Dalrymple has succeeded (once more) in publishing a book that is both thoughtful and absorbing. -- Paul Hollander * New York Sun *The brutal, penetrating honesty of his thinking and the vividness of his prose make Theodore Dalrymple the George Orwell of our time. -- Denis Dutton, Editor * Arts and Letters Daily *His gift for storytelling will keep readers turning pages. * The Christian Century *Theodore Dalrymple is the best doctor-writer since William Carlos Williams. -- Peggy NoonanThere is so much learning and unconventional wisdom in it that you want to make the reading last. -- Norman StoneTheodore Dalrymple is the Edmund Burke of our age.… Our Culture, What’s Left of It is not simply an important book, it is a necessary one. -- Roger KimballDalrymple's moral courage shines through the most.

Most collections of essays are lackluster affairs, but Dalrymple's is an exception. -- Jacob Heilbrunn * The New York Times *Penetrating analysis and literary eloquence make the book a worthy read for anyone concerned with the fate of civilization. -- Andrew Martin * Courier–Journal *The manner in which Dalrymple wields his critical scalpel fixes our attention…he makes no promise to fix our condition. -- Jay Martin * Antioch Review *It's rare to find such a morally coherent, historically informed and human account as Our Culture, What's Left of It. -- Rev. Johannes L. Jacobse * Town Hall *Whether you find Dalrymple refreshing or infuriating will depend on your political point of view. Dalrymple calls them as he sees them, and there is not an ounce of political correctness in him. -- Bruce Ramsey * The Seattle Times *Ridiculously prolific and a favorite of bloggers.... He's one of the very best social critics of our age. * Brothers Judd *The book is elegantly written, conscientiously argued, provocative and fiercely committed...measured polemics arouse disgust, shame and despair: they will shake many readers' views of their physical surroundings and cultural assumptions, and have an enriching power to improve the way that people think and act. -- Richard Davenport–Hines * Times Literary Supplement *Theodore Dalrymple makes a devastating diagnosis of liberalism's recent ills. -- Randy Boyagoda * Globe and Mail *Dalrymple has acquired a following on the sarcastic right; if anything, the thoughtful left should be reading him." -- Geoffrey Wheatcroft * Newstatesman.Com *Terrific....

Cambridge University Press Mark Twain Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes and the Head
Book SynopsisHaving a phrenological ''head reading'' was one of the most significant fads of the nineteenth century a means for better knowing oneself and a guide for self-improvement. Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) had a lifelong yet long overlooked interest in phrenology, the pseudoscience claiming to correlate skull features with specialized brain areas and higher mental traits. Twain''s books are laced with phrenological terms and concepts, and he lampooned the head readers in Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. He was influenced by Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, who also used his humor to assail head readers and educate the public. Finger shows that both humorists accepted certain features of phrenology, but not their skull-based ideas. By examining a fascinating topic at the intersection of literature and the history of neuroscience, this engaging study will appeal to readers interested in phrenology, science, medicine, American history, and the lives and works of Twain and Holmes.Trade Review'The book contains valuable additions to knowledge … This carefully researched, meticulously documented study will be of interest to students of literary and cultural history as well as to scholars of the history of science … Highly recommended.'

The anthropological assessments and framework effectively contribute to the author’s arguments and offer important concepts and ideas that are useful to anyone advocating for Canada to play a more active role in the international community’s efforts towards world peace. The book is readable for those without an anthropological background, making it a worthy selection for anyone interested in Canadian foreign policy and international peace studies." -- Stewart Kerr * Canadian Military History *Table of ContentsPreface 1 Introduction Part One: Disputed Visions 2 Peaceful Kingdom 3 Warrior Nation Part Two: Why War? 4 Genetic Basis of War 5 Cultural Basis of War Part Three: The Canadian Dream 6 Gender, Aboriginals, and Resistance 7 Lamb Power and Tiger Power Notes Bibliography Index
