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
* Angiographic and cross-sectional imaging findings enhance knowledge of disease processes
* 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
* The authors discuss pitfalls and complications, including their own pearls of wisdom and unanswered questions
This highly practical guide is a must-have resource for trainee and veteran interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons.

A handbook of neurological investigations in children
Neurological disorders in children are common: families want to know what is wrong, why it happened, and whether it will happen again. Management and treatment depend on establishing the diagnosis, which usually requires investigations, but the number of possible neurological investigations is now very large indeed, and uncritical investigations may be seriously misleading and often costly.This book, based on the authors' vast combined personal experience, gives practical guidance on how to target any specific condition with the minimum of tests. Part 1 is a brief distillation of advice on clinical history and examination, introducing the problems that beset those who deal with neurological disorders in childhood. Part 2 outlines the investigations available to solve these diagnostic problems. Part 3 takes a problem-oriented approach to the most appropriate investigations in the various clinical scenarios that may present to the practitioner: the starting point is the patient's presentation, not the diagnosis.Throughout, vignettes of real cases help to illustrate the use of the tests in different clinical situations.The authors co-wrote the hugely popular Handbook of Neurological Investigations ('the Blue Book') 20 years ago. This new book, while closely following the highly successful approach of the earlier title, is thoroughly up to date, with fresh material, new case vignettes, and additional investigations covered.

Animating difference
Animating Difference studies the way race, ethnicity, sexuality, and gender are portrayed in recent animated films from 1990 through the present. Ranging from Aladdin to Toy Story to Up, these popular films are key media through which children (and adults) learn about the world and how to behave. While racial and gender stereotypes may not be as obvious as they may have been in films of decades past, they often continue to convey troubling messages and stereotypes in subtle and surprising ways.

How Schools and Districts Meet Rigorous Standards Through Authentic Intellectual Work
Meet challenging standards by promoting students’ authentic intellectual work Educators have long called for more rigor and engagement in classroom work, alongside calls for enhancing equity. Yet classroom practices and student outcomes have been slow to change. A promising solution is the research–backed, real world-tested potential of the Authentic Intellectual Work (AIW) framework to meet intellectually challenging standards including Common Core. This book provides • Richly detailed case studies of successful AIW implementation at the statewide, districtwide, and individual school levels • Illustrations of collaborative teaming to advance higher-order thinking, disciplined inquiry, and value beyond school • Exemplars of how AIW transforms professional development and evaluations and increases coherence and alignment of initiatives There is no such thing as a simple formula for school improvement, but the AIW approaches presented in this book will help school– and district–based teams improve the quality of instruction, assessment, and curriculum for more rigorous and more equitable student learning “It is inspiring to read these educators’ testaments to the profound personal and professional impact of their efforts to promote students’ authentic intellectual work.” —Fred M. Newmann, Emeritus Professor University of Wisconsin-Madison “AIW is an instructional game changer. It has brought coherence across our district’s schools as we help our teachers help students become 21st-century learners.” —Michael Duncan, Superintendent Pike County Schools, GA

Selected writings
Marguerite de Navarre (1492–1549) was the sister and wife to kings and a pivotal influence in sixteenth-century France. An astute politician and diligent humanist, she was a champion of gender equality and the evangelical reform movement, which recognized that the clergy was more concerned with maintaining the church’s power than ministering to the faithful. As the years passed and the glitter of life at court waned, however, Marguerite came to realize her true vocation: writing. Selected Writings brings together a representative sampling of Marguerite’s varied writings, most of it never before translated into English, enabling Anglophone readers to enjoy the full breadth of her work for the first time. From verse letters and fables to mythological-pastoral tales, from spiritual songs to a selection of novellas from the Heptameron, the wide range of works included here will reveal Marguerite de Navarre to be one of the most important writers—male or female—of sixteenth-century France.

Team Spirits
A growing controversy in recent years has arisen around the use and abuse of Native American team mascots. The Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves, Washington Redskins, Kansas City Chiefs, Florida State Seminoles, and so forth—these are just a few of the images and names popularly associated with Native Americans that are still used as mascots by professional sports teams, dozens of universities, and countless high schools. This practice, a troubling legacy of Native–Euro-American relations in the United States, has sparked heated debates and intense protests that continue to escalate. Team Spirits is the first comprehensive look at the Native American mascots controversy. In this work activists and academics explore the origins of Native American mascots, the messages they convey, and the reasons for their persistence into the twenty-first century. The essays examine hotly contested uses of mascots, including the Washington Redskins, the Cleveland Indians, and the University of Illinois's Chief Illiniwek, as well as equally problematic but more complicated examples such as the Florida State Seminoles and the multitude of Native mascots at Marquette University. Also showcased are examples of successful opposition, including an end to Native American mascots at Springfield College and in Los Angeles public schools.
