The Book of Everything
Faith is joy is love is hope in this novel of exquisite power and everyday miracles, reminiscent of Barbara Kingsolver's THE POISONWOOD BIBLE.Thomas can see things no one else can see. Tropical fish swimming in the canals. The magic of Mrs. Van Amersfoort, the Beethoven-loving witch next door. The fierce beauty of Eliza with her artificial leg. And the Lord Jesus, who tells him, "Just call me Jesus." Thomas records these visions in his "Book of Everything." They comfort him when his father beats him, when the angels weep for his mother's black eyes. And they give him the strength to finally confront his father and become what he wants to be when he grows up: "Happy."
Critical Rehabilitation for Partial and Total Knee Arthroplasty
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a frequently performed operation - in the U.S. alone, 5.2 million TKAs were performed from 2000-2010 - and partial (unicompartmental) knee arthroplasty (UKA) is another common operation that is done in younger, active individuals. Many patients require knee arthroplasty from osteoarthritis that develops after sports injuries or decades of participation in athletics. While much has been written regarding technical surgical details of arthroplasty, there is comparably little available on critical rehabilitation principles and guidelines that allow return to normal physical function, as well as recreational and sports activities. Filling this gap in the literatu...
Service Provision and Migration
This book investigates how liberalization of service provision related to movement of natural persons takes shape within EU and WTO law. It provides an overview and analysis of the implementation of the identified obligations derived from EU law and the GATS in the Dutch legal order and that of the United Kingdom. A thorough investigation of the chosen strategies in each legal order is provided, including a comparison of the differences and similarities between these strategies. The resulting overview leads to insight into the tension that exists between the international obligations related to service mobility of the two investigated states on the one hand, and their migration law and access to the labour market legislation on the other.
The Family and the Nation
Until recently, migration policies primarily targeted labour migrants and asylum seekers. Family migration was taken for granted. But now, many nations are restricting family migration, particularly from poorer countries. The Netherlands have even gone so far as to require family migrants to pass an integration test before being allowed to enter the country. How can this shift in policies be explained? Does it, as some suggest, indicate a new trend towards racist exclusion? This book places family migration policies in the broader perspective of changing family norms. In doing so, it shows the added value of studying immigration law not as an isolated field, but in connection with other fiel...
Primer on Multiple Sclerosis
This text provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical and basic science aspects of MS. It is designed to be of practical use to clinical neurologists, and addresses all of the major issues that may occur in the management of persons with MS.
Lower Extremity Joint Preservation
This book describes and discusses the available joint preservation techniques for maintaining the stability homeostasis of the lower extremity joints – specifically the hip, knee, and ankle – following injury. Readers will find detailed coverage of anatomy, pathology, techniques for repair, restoration, and regeneration, and rehabilitation strategies. Joint preservation is an emerging field in Orthopaedics that represents a response to the limitations of joint replacement technology. Using the techniques now available, surgeons can try to prevent or delay the onset of osteoarthritis or other degenerative conditions affecting the joints, particularly in young patients. Furthermore, modern tissue engineering offers the potential for whole-joint resurfacing, thereby achieving complete restoration. Optimal implementation of these techniques depends upon further refinement of methods and continuing improvements in knowledge of biomechanics, biology, and anatomy. Against this background, the present book is an ideal guide to the latest treatment modalities that will appeal to all who wish to learn more about indications, goals, procedures, and expected outcomes.
Fair Immigration Proceedings in Europe
Fair Immigration Proceedings in Europe deals with international minimum standards for effective and fair immigration proceedings which apply for the region of the European Union. It is the first study to analyze systematically the impact of a wide range of relevant treaties under the UN, the Council of Europe and the European Union on the quality of national immigration proceedings. As a result, a coherent picture has come to the surface, which, despite several lacunae, gives a surprising view of the acquis of binding obligations on EU Member States in this field. Special attention is given to the greater conventions like the Refugee Convention of Geneva, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights and the EC Treaty. Because of its systematic structure, the book is readily accessible for quick consultation. It constitutes an important tool for litigation practice and legislation for civil servants, judges, attorneys and researchers. It will also be of interest to academics because of its analysis of the interaction between minimum norms and equal treatment norms when implemented in municipal law.
The Bible for Unbelievers
One of Northern Europe's most popular writers, Guus Kuijer was fascinated with the Bible from an early age, but was never able to believe it, no matter how hard he tried. Now, in prose that is humorous and sometimes irreverent, Kuijer reinterprets the most popular book in the world, making it new again for the twenty-first century and for the first time rendering it accessible to "unbelievers"—that is, to people who are ready to appreciate it as something other than a sacred text. The first volume of The Bible for Unbelievers tells the story of the Book of Genesis as an agnostic novel in which man's curiosity causes creation, not God alone. Kuijer explores the nagging loneliness of the uni...
Multiple Sclerosis and Associated Demyelinating Disorders, An Issue of Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, E-Book
In this issue of Neuroimaging Clinics, guest editors Drs. Frederik Barkhof and Yaou Liu bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Multiple Sclerosis and Associated Demyelinating Disorders. Top experts in the field discuss advanced brain imaging in CNS demyelinating diseases; new imaging markers in MS and related disorders: smoldering inflammation and central vein sign; the use of AI in MS and white matter disease; optic nerve imaging in MS and related disorders; atypical demyelinating disorders; and more. Co-Editor Frederik Barkhof, MD, has received the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the American Academy of Neurology's 2018 John Dystel Prize for Multiple Sclerosis Research ...
Digital Borders and Real Rights
Since its launch in 1995, the majority of personal data held in the Schengen Information System (SIS) concerns third-country nationals to be refused entry to the Schengen territory. This study reveals why the use of the SIS (and the second generation SIS or SIS II) entails a risk to the protection of human rights such as the right to privacy and the right to data protection, but also the freedom of movement of persons and the principle of non-discrimination. This study describes the implementation of the SIS in respectively France, Germany, and the Netherlands and the available legal remedies in both data protection and immigration law. On the basis of three general principles of European law, minimum standards are developed for effective remedies for individuals registered in the SIS, but also other databases such as Eurodac or the Visa Information System.
