Venous Interventional Radiology
A state-of-the-art guide on the interventional management of venous disease from renowned experts!
The diagnosis and management of venous disorders is a core competency of interventional radiology, comprising up to 75% of an interventional radiologist's caseload in some institutions. Venous Interventional Radiology by prominent interventional radiologist Laura Findeiss and an impressive group of contributors is a highly practical vascular interventional radiology reference that covers a full spectrum of venous disease. The richly illustrated book starts with an opening chapter on venous anatomy, physiology, and epidemiology.
Disease-specific chapters cover common to complex disorders, from varicose veins and venous ulceration, to thromboembolic disease and pulmonary embolism. Each chapter presents the latest minimally invasive image-guided interventions for the diagnosis and management of a specific disease. Clinical cases provide discussion of patient presentation/symptoms, clinical evaluation, procedural and non-invasive management strategies, and follow-up, all of which are key to delivering comprehensive patient care.
Key Highlights

* A chapter dedicated to vascular/venous access provides guidance on this basic yet critical component of patient care
* The classification, evaluation, and treatment of venous anomalies and syndromes

Alabama Governors
An entirely revised and updated edition of the
best-selling 2001 original This collection of
biographical essays, written by thirty-four noted historians and
political scientists, chronicles the times, careers, challenges,
leadership, and legacies of the fifty-seven men and one woman who
have served as the state's highest elected official. The book is
organized chronologically into six sections that cover
Alabama’s years as a US territory and its early statehood,
the 1840s through the Civil War and Reconstruction, the late
nineteenth-century Bourbon era, twentieth-century progressive and
wartime governors, the Civil Rights era and George
Wallace’s period of influence, and recent chief executives
in the post-Wallace era. The political careers of these
fifty-eight individuals reflect the story of Alabama itself.
Taken together, these essays provide a unified history of the
state, with its recurring themes of race, federal-state
relations, tensions between north and south Alabama, economic
development, taxation, and education.
Alabama Governors expertly delineates the decisions and
challenges of the chief executives, their policy initiatives,
their accomplishments and failures, and the lasting impact of
their terms. The book also includes the true and sometimes
scandalous anecdotes that pepper Alabama’s storied history.
Several of the state's early governors fought duels; one killed
his wife's lover. A Reconstruction era-governor barricaded
himself in his office and refused to give it up when voters
failed to reelect him. A twentieth-century governor, an alumnus
of Yale, served as an officer in the Ku Klux Klan. This entirely
updated and revised edition includes enlarged and enhanced images
of each governor. Published as Alabama prepares for its
sixty-fourth gubernatorial election, Alabama Governors is certain
to become a valuable resource for teachers, students, librarians,
journalists, and anyone interested in the colorful history of
Alabama politics.
