This comprehensive volume includes all conditions producing effects recognizable with the unaided eye. Detailed lesion descriptions and over 300 photographs and diagrams facilitate disease recognition and each condition is placed in context with discussion of its history, antiquity, etiology, epidemiology, geography, and natural history. Uniquely, diseases affecting the soft tissues are also included as these are commonly present in mummified remains.

Publisher: Gacl | ISBN: 1414403623 | edition 2005 | PDF | 1451 pages | 25,4 mb

In a statement immediately preceding the introduction, the publisher states clearly that this encyclopedia is "is intended to supplement, not replace, consultation with a physician or other healthcare professional."

The frank and rather clinical-sounding treatment discussion includes staging, standards, and, when appropriate, alternative therapies, anticipated side effects, and even questions for the doctor.

The Encyclopedia of Stress And Stress-related Diseases

The Encyclopedia of Stress And Stress-related Diseases Summary:

Facts on File | 2006 | ISBN: 0816059373 | 438 pages | PDF | 1,7 MB

Stress is the human body's internal response to stressors--the feelings, situations, events, and other happenings that occur in our daily existence. Labeled the "epidemic of the eighties" by Time magazine (June 6, 1983), stress became recognized as the top health killer in America. According to more recent information from the American Institute of Stress, it remains a primary leading cause in medical mortalities.

The second edition of The Encyclopedia of Stress and Stress-Related Diseases differs little in format from the first edition. Entries are listed alphabetically. At the end of longer entries are cross-references, bibliographic listings, and, where appropriate, organizations to contact for further information. New entries for stressors relating to technology, the workplace, aging, fear, social situations, and crime have been added. Electronic devices (including cell phones, handheld personal assistants, and messaging systems), Identity theft, Parental after-school stress (PASS), Road rage, and Terrorism are just a few of the new items found here. The entry on Dating has been expanded to include Internet dating. Avian flu, Mad-cow disease, and SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) are covered. Airport screening machines are discussed at length. The appendix and index have been expanded to include the new topics. Author Kahn explains that "the key to healthy living is how one adapts and copes with everyday and ongoing stressors." Every effort has been made to provide as much information as possible to assist readers in recognizing, defining, and coping with twenty-first-century stressors and stress. This concise encyclopedia is suitable for general readers and professionals working in related fields and is recommended for consumer-health collections in academic and public libraries. Ann Cohen

Macmillan Technical | ISBN: 0028656717 | 2002 | PDF | 424 pages | 13.01 MB

This volume, with one hundred new articles, supplements the award-winning 10-volume Encyclopedia of World Cultures, which was also organized and prepared by the Human Relations Area Files (HRAF) at Yale University, and published by G. K. Hall/Macmillan Library Reference between 1991 and 1996. The volume includes three kinds of entries. One kind is an important culture that was not included, for one reason or another, in the original encyclopedia. These new cultures are located in most regions of the world, but especially in Africa and North America. For example, Rwandans and Barundi are now included. New or updated articles on cultures that have been strongly affected by recent political events are a second kind of entry here. For example, the wars in the former Yugoslavia required expansions and updates of the articles on the Bosnian Muslims, Albanians, and Serbs, and the Afghanistan war called for revisions of the articles on the Tajiks and Uzbeks. Finally, there originally were only short entries on some important cultures, including some that are of classic interest in anthropology (for example, Crow, Zulu). These have now been expanded and updated.
