Hardcover. New. Publication scheduled for January 2011. The Second Atlas brings knowledge of the area's nesting birds into the twentyfirst century and identifies those species and habitats most in need of conservation. Species accounts, each with a stunning color photograph, provide detailed coverage of the habitats, biology, and relative abundance of MidAtlantic nesting birds. Uptodate maps reflect changes in their breeding ranges and distributions over the past two decades. Of perhaps greatest value, the atlas provides comparative analyses with data from the first statewide survey done in the 1980s. Treasured by birders -- and an invaluable reference for ornithologists, conservationists, and landuse planners -- this book will significantly influence our understanding and management of avian species in the region for the next decade., The John Hopkins University Press, 2010, 6, Exeter, UK: University of Exeter Press, 2000.

New. Nobutaka Yoshioka, MD, PhD and Albert L. Rhoton Jr., MD have created an anatomical atlas of astounding precision. An unparalleled teaching tool, this atlas opens a unique window into the anatomical intricacies of complex facial nerves and related structures. An internationally renowned author, educator, brain anatomist, and neurosurgeon, Dr. Rhoton is regarded by colleagues as one of the fathers of modern microscopic neurosurgery. Dr. Yoshioka, an esteemed craniofacial reconstructive surgeon in Japan, mastered this precise dissection technique while undertaking a fellowship at Dr. Rhoton's microanatomy lab, writing in the preface that within such precision images lies potential for surgical innovation. Special Features: Exquisite color photographs, prepared from carefully dissected latex injected cadavers, reveal anatomy layer by layer, with remarkable detail and clarity. An added highlight, 3-D versions of these extraordinary images are available online in the Thieme MediaCenter. Major sections include intracranial region and skull, upper facial and midfacial region, and lower facial and posterolateral neck region. Organized by region, each layered dissection elucidates specific nerves and structures with pinpoint accuracy, providing the clinician with in-depth anatomical insights. Precise clinical explanations accompany each photograph. In tandem, the images and text provide an excellent foundation for understanding the nerves and structures impacted by neurosurgical-related pathologies as well as other conditions and injuries. An exceptionally stunning anatomical reference, this book is a must-have reference for residents, and advanced clinicians specializing in neurosurgery, facial plastic surgery, otolaryngology, maxillofacial surgery, and craniofacial surgery., 6, Toronto, Buffalo, London.

Even though the gorilla is our closest living relative, information about its anatomy, and particularly its musculature, is scarce. This book is the first photographic and descriptive musculoskeletal atlas of the gorilla. It includes high-quality photographs of musculoskeletal structures from most anatomical regions of the body, along with textual information about the attachments, innervations, and weight of the reported muscles. The atlas is an up-to-date review of the anatomical variations within gorillas as well as an extensive list of the synonyms used in the literature to designate the structures covered in the book. It also contains dissection observations of other primates and vertebrates, which are crucial for examining and understanding the homologies between the muscular structures of gorillas, humans, and other taxa., 6, Paperback / softback. New. Compact, visually instructive, practice-oriented guide to colposcopy - revised and updated edition Like the successful first edition, the great strength of this completely revised and updated second edition of Burghardt's Primary Care Colposcopy is its oversized, high-quality color colposcopic photographs. Novice and experienced examining practitioners will appreciate the utility of these diagnostic quality images in making confident assessments regarding the appearance of the cervix as seen in colposcopy. All requisite information for the successful implementation of this standard gynecologic procedure - histopathologic processes, fundamentals of colposcopic technique and examination, equipment, terminology, documentation, and standard guidelines - is encompassed in this concise and practical textbook and atlas. Augmentations and highlights of the second revised and updated edition: More than 350 oversized, high-quality color colposcopic photographs and technical illustrations - 20% of which are new to the second edition Updated information on the central role of the human papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical cancer and the development of preventative HPV vaccines Essential new chapters on colposcopy of the vulva, vagina, and perianal region and the common etiology of lesions at these sites Cohesive concept, organization and presentation - produced and authored by a working team of three experts with decades of experience in gynecology and histopathology Current international guidelines and updated nomenclature formulated by the International Federation for Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy (IFCPC) with the International Society for the Study of Vulvar Disease (ISSVD) and the 2014 WHO Classification of Tumors of Female Reproductive Organs Primary care practitioners, nurse practitioners, residents/fellows-in-training in gynecologic oncology programs, and gynecologists and obstetricians in practice will prize Burghardt's Primary Care Colposcopy as an indispensable partner in accessing colposcopic findings, in reaching the right differential diagnosis, and in achieving the best possible treatment outcomes with assurance and efficiency., 6, Chicago: Chicago Historical Society, 1928.

Photos and maps "The make-up[ of this book is somewhat in the nature of an atlas, with accompanying text, for, with but ninety-eight pages of reading matter, there are ten original surveys, eight maps and thirty-four photographs. The photographs, being made to show the topographical features of the Mud Lake region, are invaluable to students, for many conditions have been altered since these views were secured. It is not too much to say that without the discovery of certain of these surveys the story of Chicago's early history could not be definitely known, and that this volume is the key to the first chapter of Chciago's history - Foreword."

NEW. . Cyprus offers the butterfly enthusiast, whether amateur or professional, an opportunity to study species not encountered elsewhere in the Mediterranean basin. Included in this book are details of endemic species and subspecies, all commonly found on the island. Present, too, are various species of eremic origin, one of which (<i>Apharitis acamas</i>, Levantine Leopard) has its westernmost European presence in Cyprus. The proximity of Cyprus to the Middle East and North Africa encourages the appearance of migrant butterfly species, with mass migrations occasionally occurring. It is anticipated that climate change and range expansion will see the arrival of other species and these, along with the 54 butterfly species currently listed for the island are also discussed. Additional sections include: A review of butterfly research in Cyprus Biogeography of Cyprus' butterflies Life-history of the butterfly (with illustrated observations of predation) Habitats Butterfly behaviour (including migration, aestivation and adult nutrition) Biodiversity and endemics Well-illustrated species' entries also provide information on: Distribution - where, for the first time, comprehensive distribution maps for each of Cyprus' butterfly species at 5 x 5 km square resolution are presented Flight periods Larval hostplants relevant to Cyprus Ecology and behaviour Descriptions/key identification aids Conservation status of butterflies in Cyprus A chapter on the status of butterflies in Cyprus includes local guidance on collecting restrictions and conservation, and a closing chapter explains the planned Butterfly Monitoring Scheme under the auspices of Butterfly Conservation Europe and the Cyprus Butterfly Study Group. Content includes many citations complemented by supporting Bibliography, with emphasis on butterflies of the eastern Mediterranean region. The book will appeal to those simply seeking to identify the island's butterflies, and to the more academically inclined researcher. Key points to note: the first comprehensive review and guide to the butterflies of Cyprus, a vital habitat for migrating and endemic species includes over 50 detailed, full colour distribution maps beautifully illustrated with over 300 colour photographs of the butterflies and their habitats The intended audience is professional entomologists, butterfly experts, insect conservation biologists, amateur entomologists, lepidopterists and naturalists..

Rob Hornstra and Arnold Van Bruggen have been working together since 2009 to tell the story of Sochi, Russia--site of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. They have returned repeatedly to this region as committed practitioners of slow journalism, establishing a solid foundation of research on and engagement with this small yet incredibly complicated place before it finds itself in the glare of international media attention. As Van Bruggen writes, Never before have the Olympic Games been held in a region that contrasts more strongly with the glamour of the event than Sochi. Hornstras approach combines documentary storytelling with contemporary portraiture, found photographs and other visual elements collected during their travels. Since the beginning of the authors collaboration, The Sochi Project has been released via installments in book form and online. The highlights are brought together for the first time in this volume.

The index's grid system for locations of place names is supplemented by latitude and longitude coordinates --a feature not found in most other atlases--so that points can be located within half a mile. Extensively redesigned front matter. The Seventh edition's preliminary matter, totally rewritten and updated, contains many new elements. There are seen new full-color maps of the physical earth, as well as photographs and diagrams of the universe, galaxies, solar system, and planets, which incorporate the latest in space photography. The graphs, charts, diagrams, maps and index reflect the then most recent data in climatology, world food productions, and trade, population distribution,world energy production and consumption, and world vegetation and temperature. An atlas is a collection of maps; it is typically a bundle of maps of Earth or of a region of Earth. Atlases have traditionally been bound into book form. In addition to presenting geographic features and political boundaries, many atlases often feature geopolitical, social, religious and economic statistics. They also have information about the map and places in it. The first work that contained systematically arranged maps of uniform size representing the first modern atlas was the collection of maps Theatrum Orbis Terrarum by the Brabantian cartographer Abraham Ortelius printed in 1570. Atlases published now are quite different from those published in the 16th-19th centuries. Unlike today, most atlases were not bound and ready for the customer to buy, but their possible components were shelved separately. The client could select the contents to their liking, and have the maps colored/gilded or not. The atlas was then bound.
