Trees of Western North America
Covering 630 species, more than any comparable field guide,Trees of Western North Americais the most comprehensive, best illustrated, and easiest-to-use book of its kind. Presenting all the native and naturalized trees of the western United States and Canada as far east as the Great Plains, the book features superior descriptions; thousands of meticulous color paintings by David More that illustrate important visual details; range maps that provide a thumbnail view of distribution for each native species; \"Quick ID\" summaries; a user-friendly layout; scientific and common names; the latest taxonomy; information on the most recently naturalized species; a key to leaves; and an introduction to tree identification, forest ecology, and plant classification and structure. The easy-to-read descriptions present details of size, shape, growth habit, bark, leaves, flowers, fruit, flowering and fruiting times, habitat, and range. Using a broad definition of a tree, the book covers many small, overlooked species normally thought of as shrubs, as well as treelike forms of cacti and yuccas. With its unmatched combination of breadth and depth, this is an essential guide for every tree lover.

Symptom burden guiding invasive electrophysiological study in paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia: The believe SVT registry
Patients with palpitations clinically suggestive of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) are often managed conservatively until ECG-documentation of the tachycardia, leading to high impact on life quality and healthcare resource utilization. We evaluated results of electrophysiological study (EPS), and ablation when appropriate, among these patients, with special focus on gender differences in management.
BELIEVE SVT is a European multicenter, retrospective registry in tertiary hospitals performing EPS in patients with palpitations, without ECG-documentation of tachycardia or preexcitation, and considered highly suggestive of PSVT by a cardiologist or cardiac electrophysiologist. We analyzed clinical characteristics, results of EPS and ablation, complications, and clinical outcomes during follow-up.
Six-hundred eighty patients from 20 centers were included. EPS showed sustained tachycardia in 60.9% of patients, and substrate potentially enabling AVNRT in 14.7%. No major/permanent complications occurred. Minor/transient complications were reported in 0.84% of patients undergoing diagnostic-only EPS and 1.8% when followed by ablation. During a 3.4-year follow-up, 76.2% of patients remained free of palpitations recurrence. Ablation (OR: 0.34, P < .01) and male gender (OR: 0.58, P = .01) predicted no recurrence. Despite a higher female proportion among patients with recurrence, (77.2% vs 63.5% among those asymptomatic during follow-up, P < .01), 73% of women in this study reported no recurrence of palpitations after EPS.
EPS and ablation are safe and effective in preventing recurrence of nondocumented palpitations clinically suggestive of PSVT. Despite a lower efficacy, this strategy is also highly effective among women and warrants no gender differences in management.

كل شيء وأكثر : تاريخ موجز للانهائية /
يعد هذا الكتاب دليلا مشوقا إلى ترويض حديث لفكرة «اللانهائية»، التي هي إحدى أشهر الأحجيات في تاريخ الرياضيات أجمع، وهو كذلك بمثابة جولة تنويرية في تاريخ هذه الفكرة؛ جولة تجمع بين التاريخ والفلسفة ورسائل في عشق دراسة الرياضيات. يأخذنا المؤلف «ديفيد فوستر والاس» بفضوله المعدي، وجمله الرنانة، وتعبيراته النارية في جولة ممتعة يطوف بنا خلالها بين أفكار كل من «أرسطو»، و«نيوتن»، و«لايبنتس»، و«كارل فايرشتراس»، وصولا إلى «جورج كانتور» ونظرية المجموعات، ما يجعل الكتاب مقدمة مثالية إلى جمال عالم الرياضيات، أو بالأحرى، إلى الغرابة التي لا سبيل إلى نكرانها لفكرة «اللانهائية» بطبيعتها المتناقضة ظاهريا.

“The Severity of This Service…” Canadien Inland Mariners in the Early Post-Conquest Era, 1760 to 1817
Beginning just a long decade after New France became part of the British Empire in 1763, a half-century of major crises engulfed British North America; the American Revolutionary War (1775-83), the postwar forced migration and resettlement of thousands of destitute and hungry British-American Loyalist refugees (1784-86), and the War of 1812 (1812-1814). In order to surmount, indeed, just to survive these crises, the British colonial regime in Quebec found it necessary to seek and retain the services of thousands of skilled, native-born, French-Canadian (Canadien) inland mariners in the newly acquired colony. For more than half a century, the Canadiens were needed to fulfill a variety of essential roles. Small boat (batteau) crews hauled virtually all the necessary supplies, including food, to sustain war and resettlement efforts west of Montreal for British soldiers and sailors, Loyalist settlers, militiamen, Indigenous allies and refugees. Canadien mariners also constructed, commanded, and crewed British warships on the Great Lakes. Some men were disabled in combat or became prisoners-of-war. Others died in shipwrecks or drowned on the river. The mariners left few personal records, but their actions were critically important for the successful defense and retention in the British Empire of the colonies that would eventually form central Canada. The contributions of Canadien inland mariners deserve serious consideration when examining the relationships between the people of the former New France and their new British rulers during the challenging, early transitional years of the British colonial regime.
