How did the organ become a church instrument? In this fascinating investigation Peter Williams speculates on this question and suggests some likely answers. Central to the story he uncovers is the liveliness of European monasticism around 1000 and the ability and imagination of the Benedictine reformers.

This book is designed to be a conceptual review for medical students during their preclinical years. It contains tremendous, high yield summaries in each chapter, followed by 201 board-relevant questions that challenge the student on many levels. All 12 chapters focus on concepts that are pivotal for passing board exams, and consist of high yield tables, flowcharts, and mnemonics. All questions are written with the goal of strengthening pathophysiologic relationships. They are written in a clinically-based, vignette-style in order to best simulate the questions seen on many course exams and the USMLE Step I exam. At the end of each section is an answer key with detailed explanations. Medical school involves innumerable hours of memorization, and therefore the goal of this book is to allow for more logical comprehension rather than brute memorization. This book lays the foundation in understanding pathophysiology as future practicing physicians.

Rates of organ donation lag far behind the increasing need. At the start of 2006, more than 90,000 people were waiting to receive a solid organ (kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, heart, or intestine). Organ Donation examines a wide range of proposals to increase organ donation, including policies that presume consent for donation as well as the use of financial incentives such as direct payments, coverage of funeral expenses, and charitable contributions. This book urges federal agencies, nonprofit groups, and others to boost opportunities for people to record their decisions to donate, strengthen efforts to educate the public about the benefits of organ donation, and continue to improve donation systems. Organ Donation also supports initiatives to increase donations from people whose deaths are the result of irreversible cardiac failure. This book emphasizes that all members of society have a stake in an adequate supply of organs for patients in need, because each individual is a potential recipient as well as a potential donor.
