DOWNLOAD EBOOKA masterpiece. Hurst (The heart, 6th ed. McGraw--a primary selection in Brandon-Hill) has included contributions to his classic text and has brought in Anderson, Wilcox, and Becker to provide illustrations. Begins, briefly, with normal anatomy (20 p.), then follows the course charted in The heart: congenital and valvar heart disease, myocardial and coronary heart disease, lung and pulmonary, endocarditis, trauma, and surgery for arrhythmias. The work ends with attention to other conditions: hypertension, neoplasia, collagen vascular disease, athletes' heart, aging, obesity, and alcohol. Illustrations are largely gross anatomical photos in color (and of a quality we associate with the copublisher, Gower). Other illustrations are images by various modalities and good drawings (none of these are up to the artistry of Springer V's Comprehensive manuals of surgical specialities). Every serious collection in cardiology will have this admirable reference. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe overthrow of the regime of President Ben Ali in Tunisia on 14 January 2011 took the world by surprise. The popular revolt in this small Arab country and the effect it had on the wider Arab world prompted questions as to why there had been so little awareness of it up until that point. It also revealed a more general lack of knowledge about the surrounding western part of the Arab world, or the Maghreb, which had long attracted a tiny fraction of the outside interest shown in the eastern Arab world of Egypt, the Levant and the Gulf. This book examines the politics of the three states of the central Maghreb--Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco--since their achievement of independence from European colonial rule in the 1950s and 1960s. It explains the political dynamics of the region by looking at the roles played by the military, political parties and Islamist movements and addresses factors such as Berber identity and economics, as well as how the states of the region interact with each other and with the wider world. -- Provided by publisher.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen mass protests erupted in Algeria in 2019, on a scale unseen anywhere in the region since the Arab Spring, the outside world was taken by surprise. Algeria had been largely unaffected by the turmoil that engulfed its neighbours in 2011, and it was widely assumed that the population was too traumatised and cowed by the country’s bloody civil war to take to the streets demanding change. Michael J. Willis offers an explanation of this unexpected development known as the HirakMovement, examining the political and social changes that have occurred in Algeria since the ‘dark decade’ of the 1990s. He examines how the bitter civil conflict was brought to an end, and how a fresh political order was established following the 1999 election of a dynamic new leader, Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Initially underwritten by revenue from Algeria’s substantial hydrocarbons resources, this new order came to be undermined by falling oil prices, an ailing president, and a population determined to have its voice heard by an increasingly corrupt, out-of-touch and opaque national leadership. Exactly twenty years passed before Bouteflika’s presidency was brought to an end by the Hirak protests—this book is an authoritative account of them.
