Book Description

Beginning by eliminating many of the misconceptions people have regarding deaf people and communication with them, this book explains and illustrates basic American Sign Language for medical purposes. True situations are included to emphasize the problems which arise with miscommunication and a lack of knowledge of deaf people and their culture. The word deaf is inclusive of any and all hearing impairments because of the language barrier and the cultural pride involved. Cultural aspects that have a direct bearing on medical treatment and understanding of the deaf patient are given so the reader may gain insight into this special group of people. Information is given for assistance in obtaining qualified interpreters in accordance with the laws and the guidelines for health care facilities. The glossary gives the reader clear and precise definitions for many terms used in working with the deaf.

Customer Reviews:

Read it from the library, but don't buy it.......2000-10-08

The most useful part of this book is the author's anecdotes based on her experience an a medical sign language interpreter. She offers very valuable insights for medical professionals caring for deaf patients. However, the book also tries to be an introduction to signing for professionals wishing to carry on more basic exchanges in sign language. Here it fails, as the illustrations are not professionally done and are extremely hard to understand. There is no coherent educational theme, either -- it skips around from the most basic to the more advanced concepts without covering any thoroughly.

Book Description

Curious minds of all ages will love exploring the ever-expanding universe in CHAOS TO COSMOS: A SPACE ODYSSEY.

Learn how scientists are leading the search for life beyond Earth, and what they hope to find.

Book Description

Here is the first historical and sociological account of the formation of an interdisciplinary science known as genetic toxicology, and of the scientists' social movement that created it.

After research geneticists discovered that synthetic chemicals were capable of changing the genetic structure of living organisms, scientists began to explore how these chemicals affected gene structure and function. In the late 1960s, a small group of biologists became concerned that chemical mutagens represented a serious and possibly global environmental threat.

Book Description

This volume highlights major contributions that identify new developments and directions in the field over the past decade, as well as challenges for the foreseeable future. An integration of information from laboratory and epidemiological studies, male reproduction and teratology can be found throughout the volume. The range of topics include parental legacies and genomics, lifestyle, occupational and therapeutic paternal exposures and effects; effects on the gamete-packaging of human sperm; role of DNA repair and germ cell apoptosis; stem cells, epigenetics and closing; model systems and implications to clinicians and general counselors.

Book Description

Germ-line and somatic mutations are recognized as significant causes of human disease, and so the detection, identification and study of mutagens in the environment is of increasing mutagenesis.
Environmental Mutagenesis describes our current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of mutagenesis and assesses the role of mutagens in cancer and inherited disease. Full details are also provided on all the major in vivo and in vitro methods of mutagenecity testing, including recently developed methods such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), the use of genetically engineered cells, and transgene technology.
This book presents a unique overview of the current status of mutagenecity research and genetics toxicology in the form of reviews by leading researchers in the field. It is essential reading for all with an interest in genetic toxicology and molecular carcinogenesis, including molecular geneticists, genetic counselors and clinicians.

Book Description

A legendary bestseller for more than forty years, this is the classic survey to the field from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century.

With 274 authors, the Eighth Edition deepens its representation of essential works in all genres, ranging from Seamas Heaney's award-winning translation of Beowulf, Milton's Paradise Lost, and More's Utopia to the great poets and prose writers of the nineteenth century—Blake and Austen, Wordsworth and Byron, Tennyson and Barrett Browning—to twentieth-century classics of a truly global English literature—Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Woolf's A Room of One's Own, Achebe's Things Fall Apart, and Friel's Translations, to name but a few. Color plates—over 75 in all—and thematic clusters of brief and historically significant texts bring to life the cultural concerns of each period. Concise glosses and annotations, period introductions, biographical headnotes, timelines, and selected bibliographies help readers understand and enjoy the rich diversity of English literature.

Incredibly but True.......2007-03-10

I bougth this book out of necessity, because is obligated for my English class this semester. It turn out to be pretty good. It is all poetry from the romantic period to our time. It has great writers, so as T. S. Eliot and more. I got to admmit it thought it will be dull but I was wrong. It is a great book. One thing is for sure, half the poems that I read so far are all related to death, for some reason.

It's Required.......2007-03-09

I needed this book for a college British Literature Class. There's a lot of poetry and great footnotes. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the romantic and victorian periods.

A very complete guide to English literature.......2006-12-07

This anthology provides lots of samples of the English literature from Romanticism to our days. In addition, it includes essays on some relevant literary topics, and an excelent appendix that contains information about rhetorical figures, poetic forms, etc.

Norton Anthology of English Literature.......2006-11-03

My professor was very concerned with background info of the time period and author and this text gives an introduction to each author with exactly that.

Better for Grads Than Under.......2006-11-01

This is a terrific volume, however, I would change some content to give a wider appeal. Right now, the volume is great for grad students, but limited for undergrads. Example: undergrads will like Waiting for Godot more than Endgame. I believe the choice was space-determined: Endgame is shorter. However, it would be better to do with a little less Wordsworth and a little more Beckett.

However, these are nitpicks. Good move including Mary Robinson, and the intros are terrific.

Book Description

This book focuses on the legal implications of how assets are held on behalf of investors by other parties (such as brokers, investment managers, specialist custodians and central depositaries) and in particular how the chosen method affects the legal rights of the investor over the assets in question. The impact of immobilisation, dematerialisation, fungible holdings and settlement practices are all considered. The book also covers the effect of the use of custody assets for security, the duties of custodians, the remedies of investors, cross-border custody and the regulatory response to custody business. An authoritative work for practitioners, academics and reference libraries specializing in financial services, banking and investment law, both in the UK and internationally, it provides one of the clearest and most up to date analyses of these subjects available.
