Book SynopsisTrade ReviewNow in its fourth edition this text is a must for all physiotherapy students. The chapters are well laid out, and all of the information is explained in an easily understandable way. This new edition provides the most up to date information for clinical practice from paediatrics through to the elderly. Chapter six is particularly useful, it provides the reader with case studies and then works through a logical way of problem solving along with introducing the reader to specific outcome measures. All in all a must have text!!!! - Laura Culpan, Physiotherapy Student, University of Bradford This book is a must have for respiratory learning as it is clear and concise and contains both adults and paediatric care. The clear diagrams make it easier to learn and the chapters cover core subjects for example assessments, techniques, paediatrics, ventilation and many more. Throughout the authors have made small summary physio points which will be useful when revising for a particular topic. The authors have also used flow charts and pictures to put across some of the information which is very useful for visual learners. I would very much recommend this book as it contains all of the information needed for respiratory at university and during your career. - Charlotte Barrett, Physiotherapy Student, Cardiff University, UK. Overall this is a good all-round, evidence based resource to use whilst studying or if newly qualified that covers all the main aspects of respiratory and cardiac physiotherapy. It is a great place to start when writing case studies in this field. This book is structured in the familiar style that we have come to know Elsevier for: a logical and clear design that is well laid out with the text presented in a variety of formats and supported with photographs, drawings and diagrams. The sections covering surgery, again provide good information for the student, particularly things like commonly used drugs and side effects, terminology and common procedures that are likely to be encountered. Finally, there are a number of handy images stored online that can be used in your presentations but perhaps this facility would have been better with a few more resources available, such as quizzes or tests to assess knowledge. - Linda Wilkinson, Physiotherapy Student, University of Southampton, UK. As a 1st year physiotherapy student, I've been able to use this book to understand the pathophysiology of cardiorespiratory problems as well as their clinical management. It's also well structured, beginning with the assessment of a cardiorespiratory patient and covering assessment tests and techniques and their interpretation. I also like that it has separate sections for paediatrics and adults and also has a good overview of types of surgery. I feel that this book is not only useful to me now but will be essential when I go on placement, as a reference to clarify and build on my day-to-day learning. I would recommend this text to anyone looking for a good overall cardiorespiratory text. - Mayuri Butchart, Physiotherapy Student, King's College London, UK.

Book SynopsisApplied Urban Ecology: A Global Framework explores ways in which the environmental quality of urban areas can be improved starting with existing environmental conditions and their dynamics. Written by an internationally renowned selection of scientists and practitioners, the book covers a broad range of established and novel approaches to applied urban ecology. Approaches chosen for the book are placed in the context of issues such as climate change, green- and open-space development, flood-risk assessment, threats to urban biodiversity, and increasing environmental pollution (especially in the megacities of newly industrialized countries). All topics covered were chosen because they are socially and socio-politically relevant today. Further topics covered include sustainable energy and budget management, urban water resource management, urban land management, and urban landscape planning and design. Throughout the book, concepts and methods are illustrTrade Review“In return it broadens our perspective on the pathways we might follow in aiming to understand the complexities of urban environments, and ultimately learn how to shape their future and that of the majority of humanity.” (Austral Ecology, 1 October 2013) “This book provides a wealth of information . . . It is a book for the specialist rather than the generalist and is thus most relevant for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates of ecology, geography, environmental science and urban planning.” (Bulletin of the British Ecological Society, 1 June 2012) "I am sure that anyone teaching in this area at undergraduate or postgraduate levels will want it on their bookshelf." (Elsevier's Biological Conservation, 1 January 2012) "I highly recommend the very hands on and engaging book Applied Urban Ecology: A Global Framework edited by Matthias Richter and Ulrike Weiland, to any field researchers, scientists, practitioners, urban planners, policy makers in government, business leaders, educators, and students at all levels who are seeking a clear and understandable guide to urban ecology, its challenges, and its potential solutions. This book will transform the way decision makers approach urban ecological issues, and provide students with a firm foundation in applied urban ecology." (Blog Business World, 4 January 2012) "Nevertheless, each chapter is worth reading and I am sure this book will become a primer for studies in urban ecology. I am sure that anyone teaching in this area at undergraduate or postgraduate levels will want it on their bookshelf."

Book SynopsisUnlike books currently on the market, this book attempts to satisfy two goals: combine circuits and electronics into a single, unified treatment, and establish a strong connection with the contemporary world of digital systems. It will introduce a new way of looking not only at the treatment of circuits, but also at the treatment of introductory coursework in engineering in general. Using the concept of ''abstraction,'' the book attempts to form a bridge between the world of physics and the world of large computer systems. In particular, it attempts to unify electrical engineering and computer science as the art of creating and exploiting successive abstractions to manage the complexity of building useful electrical systems. Computer systems are simply one type of electrical systems.Trade Review"The book issued by two professors at MIT is intended to initiate a new approach in presenting and developing analog and digital electronics. Traditionally, analog and digital elements and circuits are given in separate courses.

Book SynopsisThe revitalizing and restoration of rivers, creeks and streams is a major focus of urban conservation activity throughout North America and Europe. This book presents models and examples for organizing multiple stakeholders for purposes of waterway revitalizationif not restorationwithin a context of fairness and environmental justice. After decades of neglect and misuse the challenge of cleaning up urban rivers and streams is shown to be complex and truly daunting. Urban river cleanup typically involves multiple agendas and stakeholders, as well as complicated technical issues. It is also often the situation that the most affected have the least voice in what happens. The authors present social process models for maximum inclusion of various stakeholders in decision-making for urban waterway regeneration. A range of examples is presented, drawn principally from North America and Europe.Trade Review"Importantly, as this book stresses, reviving urban waterways is about restoring relationships and community building. In so doing, the authors argue persuasively that there is real potential to tackle issues of environmental justice." - taken from the Foreword, Professor Judith Petts, CBE, University of Plymouth, UK"Richard C. Smardon, Sharon Moran and April Karen Baptiste have delivered an invaluable handbook on urban stream restoration for professional practitioners, policy makers and planners, community-based scientists and activists, and university faculty and students. The distribution of urban water quality problems has long been a critical environmental justice issue, with deep political economic, geographic, and social roots. Revitalizing Urban Waterway Communities: Streams of Environmental Justice provides a wealth of scientific evidence and case studies (with especially instructive examples from Europe) that serve as a best-practice guide to those aiming to clean up their waterways and at the same time, avoid the pitfalls of green gentrification. Particularly innovative are the book’s approach to engagement via arts and culture, and how stream restoration can serve as a way to improve the physical landscape and water quality while at the same time repairing social relationships. It is required reading for urban environmentalists and social justice activists." - Jennifer Wolch, William W. Wurster Dean, College of Environmental Design University of California, Berkeley, USA"From the nation’s capital to the East Bay, from Syracuse to Milwaukee to Chattanooga, Smardon and his colleagues have embraced the rich diversity of experience in revitalizing urban watersheds and waterfronts—a truly collaborative process which will survive the ups and downs of federal environmental policies." - Rutherford H. Platt, Emeritus Professor of Geography, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA"Environmental restoration is a rapidly growing field and the restoration and revitalization of wetlands, streams and other waterways are a dominant focus. In this important book, the authors place their topic squarely within the frames of environmental justice and broadly inclusive public engagement, showing without a doubt that "success" in restoration is as much a social goal as it is an ecological or technical one. A must read for scholars and practitioners involved in ecological restoration, urban ecology, green infrastructure planning and other fields who are seeking a more harmonious fit between people and natural systems." - Paul H. Gobster, US Forest Service, and former Editor-in-Chief of Landscape and Urban Planning (Elsevier). "Connection to water has a profound impact on us as a species--it has the power to delight, to heal, to restore our hearts and economies. Yet, too often we have ignored the waterways around us, large and small. This books aims to correct this and to show how communities can engage with and restore these ecological and social assets. This book is a badly needed treatise on how to creatively involve the community in connecting with and caring for the waterways around us, and in the process working towards social justice. From the theoretical (the history of urban river restoration and the larger policy issues and challenges faced) to the more applied (techniques for community engagement and mapping) this book provides a wealth of insight about what is needed and what will work in reconnecting to urban waterways. This is important reading for any planner, city official, activist or citizen interested in the health and restoration of streams and rivers, and the people and communities they can help to sustain and bring together along the way." - Timothy Beatley, School of Architecture, University of Virginia, USA "Cities across the world are restoring urban waterways, and they all face the question of how to ensure that projects of river revitalization include the voices and address the needs of the most disadvantaged communities. This eye-opening, valuable, and compelling volume breaks new ground by using case studies of urban stream restoration to examine a range of strategies and challenges for achieving social and environmental justice. It will be an essential resource for practitioners, activists, academics, and all others involved in reimagining and transforming the world’s urban rivers." - Ryan Holifield, Associate Professor of Geography, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA "Matters of environmental justice merit detailed investigation across many different topic areas and contexts. This book is an excellent example, taking on the novel and fascinating case of urban waterway revitalization and interrogating this in terms of crucial process questions – who participates, who is included, through what means and with what outcomes? Drawing on cases from across North America and Europe, and engaging with diverse participatory methods and techniques, this is a book that will be of great interest to scholars of environmental justice, political ecology and urban planning, as well as to those engaged with pursuing and/or resisting waterway revitalization projects on the ground" - Gordon Walker, Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, UK "Integrating new and generative insights from environmental justice studies and political ecology, the authors of Revitalizing Urban Waterway Communities advance our understanding of the possibilities of fusing ecological restoration with social equity. Drawing on multiple case studies from the U.S. and Europe, this book provides deeply grounded, theoretically sophisticated analyses of how communities can improve the health of rivers and streams and of the people who interact with them." -David N. Pellow, Environmental Studies, UC Santa Barbara, USA"Revitalizing Urban Waterway Communities presents an in-triguing study of the challenges and opportunities in engaginglocal residents in transforming the rivers and streams that runthrough their neighborhoods. This book is a must-read for those practitioners, researchers, and students who want to approach thecomplex task of waterway revitalization using the framework of environmental justice. The challenges of urban waterways require this holistic approach to revitalize and reconnect urbanresidents to the rivers and streams that are hidden beneath theurban fabric." - Robert L. Ryan in the Journal of Enviornemntal Studies and Sciences (October 2018)This book could be useful to any of us engaged in urban stream remediation or restoration. To justify restoration of stream biota, we could sell a vision that goes beyond walkways, boat launches, and parks to catching edible fish in neighborhoods or watching herons and swallows.

Book SynopsisDrawing on twenty years of research, this is the definitive biography of Primo Levi. Over the last seventy years, Primo Levi (1919–87) has been recognized as the foremost literary witness of the extermination of the European Jews. In Primo Levi: An Identikit, a product of twenty years of research, Marco Belpoliti explores Levi’s tormented life, his trajectory as a writer and intellectual, and, above all, his multifaceted and complex oeuvre. Organized in a mosaic format, this volume devotes a different chapter to each of Levi’s books. In addition to tracing the history of each book’s composition, publication, and literary influences, Belpoliti explores their contents across the many worlds of Primo Levi: from chemistry to anthropology, biology to ethology, space flights to linguistics. If This Is a Man, his initially rejected masterpiece, is also reread with a fresh perspective. We learn of dreams, animals, and travel; of literary writing, comedy, and tragedy; of shame, memory, and the relationship with other writers such as Franz Kafka and Georges Perec, Jean Améry and Varlam Shalamov. Fundamental themes such as Judaism, the camp, and testimony innervate the book, which is complemented by photographs and letters found by the author in hitherto unexplored archives. This will be the definitive book on Primo Levi, a treasure trove of stories and reflections that paint a rich, nuanced composite portrait of one of the twentieth century’s most unique and urgent voices.Table of ContentsPrefacePHOTO: Portrait with his Mother (1920)Portrait with his MotherIf This Is a ManBefore If This Is a ManAviglianaWriting the Auschwitz ReportA Diary and Early TypescriptsThe 1947 Edition of If This Is a ManIf This Is a Man (1947-1958)The JourneyOn the BottomInitiationKa-BeOur NightsThe WorkA Good DayThis Side of Good and EvilThe Drowned and the SavedChemistry ExaminationThe Canto of UlyssesThe Events of the SummerOctober 1944KrausDie Drei Leute vom LaborThe Last OneThe Story of Ten DaysA Sequel?The 1948 EditionOther VersionsLEMMASThe DeportedLagerMuselmännFirst NamesHolocaustTimeI/WeDepositionsHeinz RiedtGermansPHOTO:Portrait of a Student (c.1937)Portrait of a StudentESSAY: Is If This is a Man really “a detached study of certain aspects of the human mind” as the author claims?ESSAY: Why If This Is a Man was rejected by Einaudi and other publishers, or why so much time went by before it was understood and appreciated.ESSAY: Is If This is a Man a Comedy or a Tragedy?PHOTO: Photo of the False Identity Card (c. 1942)Photo of the False Identity Card (c. 1942)The TruceInceptionEditor of HimselfWriting by HandThe TitleThe TypescriptPublicationFurther EditionsLEMMASMud/ClayTrainsJourneysSpace TravelMapsSelf-CommentaryMusicTheaterESSAY: Dreams, Nightmares and Visions from If This is a Man, The Truce and the Shirt StoriesESSAY: Can Primo Levi be Considered a Political Writer?Natural HistoriesThe Short Story WorkshopScience Fiction?The BookVariantsLEMMASScience FictionHybridScientific AmericanRadioTelevisionCinemaFlaw of FormLEMMASGamesInventionCreation/EvolutionPHOTO: Portrait of a Chemist (1952)Portrait of a Chemist (1952)The Periodic TableA Book About ChemistryCalvino’s Letter and ArgonThe TypescriptThe BookESSAY: Vanadium and the gray doctor MüllerLEMMASScienceChemistryPaintSymmetry/AsymmetryMountain WalkingPHOTO: Portrait of the Family (1963)Portrait of the Family (1963)The WrenchBooks in PairsHistory of the BookThe TypescriptLEMMASWorkHandsCharles DarwinClaude Levi-StraussESSAY: What Literary Genre Does Primo Levi Belong To?The Search for RootsHistory of the BookThe PrefaceLevi’s EncyclopediaThe TypescriptLEMMASAlessandro ManzoniDante AlighieriGiacomo LeopardiCharles BaudelaireFrançois RabelaisArtThe BiblePainHappiness / UnhappinessEnvyHermann LangbeinMario Rigoni SternPHOTO: Portrait while Smoking and Discussion (1978)Portrait While Smoking and DiscussingLilith and Other StoriesThe CollectionThe TypescriptPHOTO: Portrait with an Owl Mask (1986)Portrait with an Owl Mask (1986)LEMMASLevi’s Alphabet of AnimalsAlfilAnchoviesAnimalculesAntsAtoula/NacaniBeesBeetlesBirdsBuckButterfliesCatsCentaursCreationCrowsDeltaDesignersDogsDolphinDromedaryElephantsEthologyFliesGiraffesGoosanderHensHorsesInventing an AnimalInspirationKangaroosLemmingsLichenManMetamorphosisMolesMonkeysMonstersMiceNeotenyOystersParasitesSeagullsSerpents and WormsSpidersTadpolesTracesVilmyESSAY: Levi, the EcologistPHOTO: Portrait with a Personal Computer (1986)Portrait with a Personal Computer (1986)If Not Now, When?A Drawer-Full of Unused IdeasA “First Time”The TypescriptA Return to Jewish Roots?LEMMASIsraelAnti-SemitismKafkaAt an Uncertain Hour (Collected Poems)History of the CollectionShort, Bloody PoemsColeridge, The Ancient Mariner, and the TitleThe Garzanti EditionVariationsTranslationsPoetry and ComputersOther People’s TradesElseviersThe HistoryThe TypescriptThe BookLEMMASEncyclopediasComputersFood PreservationItalo CalvinoAldous HuxleyPaul CelanTurinClarity/ObscurityCollected Stories and EssaysHistory of the BookThe BookLEMMASEditor and TranslatorArtistPHOTO: Portrait of a Retired Chemist (c.1986)Portrait of a Retired ChemistThe Drowned and the SavedHow the Book was ConceivedThe Night of the GirondistsAppendix to If This Is a ManChaim Rumkowski and the “Gray Area”The TitleThe BookLEMMASGray ZoneThe Night of the GirondistsJean AméryHannah ArendtBruno BettelheimSigmund FreudVariam ShalamovESSAY: Levi, Bellow and the King of the JewsLEMMASColorMemoryHumorCalvino, Levi, and Black HolesSuicidePHOTO: Levi’s Hall and Stairwell (c.1987)Levi’s Hall and Stairwell
