You’re bundled against the Arctic chill. You’re loaded with equipment. And that big white bear who’s just slashed your tires has a toothache. Where is that helicopter? Norbert Rosing leads young readers into the wintry world of the dangerous polar bear, who has good reason to be angry at man’s intrusions. Let this National Geographic expert show you the bears’ playful side; learn how they make nests for hibernation, why their coats are so white, and how you can help to protect their environment from the effects of global warming.

In recent years, CT and MRI have provided powerful new tools for diagnosing lesions of the globe and orbit. At the same time, the great variety and distribution of these lesions-many of which are seen rarely in the clinic-have continued to make diagnosis difficult for most general radiologists.Combining the experience of both radiologists and ophthalmologists, this important work offers the most complete coverage of globe and orbit imaging available today. Practically organized by anatomical region, the book features hundreds of high-quality radiographic images, and will enable correct diagnos

Spinal disorders are among the most common medical conditions with significant impact on health related quality of life, use of health care resources and socio-economic costs. Spinal surgery is still one of the fastest growing areas in clinical medicine. The increasing age of the population will require an increased need for the treatment of degenerative spinal disorders particularly spinal stenosis. Basic knowledge on the state of the art in diagnosis and treatment of spinal disorders is required not only for spine specialists but also for general orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, neurolo

Unfortunately, French architecture normally dominates discussion (and works published on) Gothic architecture, missing some of the most beautiful buildings constructed in medieval Europe. Unlike the Gothic buildings in France and England, royalty or the church did not commonly fund Germanic architecture. It was a product of the towns, whose parish churches reflect the distinct style of the area- creating an almost incomprehensible richness of forms, types and decorative system not confined by a monarchy bent on self-representation, yet building of some of the same ideals of the better known

A detailed analysis of the response to the Yugoslav crisis by one of America’s key allies in NATO. The author focuses on the question of how a Western bureaucracy faced up to the most complex foreign policy challenge of the 1990s. The Netherlands, as a ’pocket-sized medium power’, is an interesting case study. While the margins for Dutch foreign policy are limited, fate had it that the Netherlands occupied the European presidency during the second half of 1991, when the recognition issue divided the West and the parameters for the subsequent international intervention in the
