What Do the Doctors Say?
The medical world creates its own culture. This culture, however, would not continue if it were not for our participation. As consumers of health care, the way in which we talk, too, maintains the medical culture as it is. This culture frequently dismisses the wisdom of parents and talks them out of their own sense. We, as parents, co-create a culture that continually diminishes us. This collaboration has disastrous consequences for our children. How many times have you heard about a parent having a particular insight into his/her child only to be dissuaded from the truth by the doctor? What Do the Doctors Say? provides stories from the authors own experience as a mother. As a scholar of communication, she has identified twelve language patterns that are used to create medical culture. The book is written particularly for parents of children with disabilities but may be a useful tool for all consumers of health care.
The Expanding Earth
Developments in Geotectonics, 10: The Expanding Earth focuses on the principles, methodologies, transformations, and approaches involved in the expanding earth concept. The book first elaborates on the development of the expanding earth concept, necessity for expansion, and the subduction myth. Discussions focus on higher velocity under Benioff zone, seismic attenuation, blue schists and paired metamorphic belts, dispersion of polygons, arctic paradox, and kinematic contrast. The manuscript then ponders on the scale of tectonic phenomena, non-uniformitarianism, tectonic profiles, and paleomagnetism. Concerns cover global paleomagnetism, general summary of the tectonic profile, implosions, fl...

The Current Challenges Underlying Hepatitis D Virus Infection
The Human Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is one of the smallest human RNA viruses (22 nm), characterized by the peculiarity to require Hepatitis B virus (HBV) for its replication. Indeed, HDV utilizes HBV surface glycoprotein (HBsAg) for viral entry, assembly and release, implying the need for a intrahepatic transcriptionally active HBV to ensure HDV replication. Chronic HBV/HDV coinfection is associated with a high risk of developing liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma within 5–10 years, resulting in high fatality rate. Recent estimates suggest that 9-60 million individuals may be infected with HDV worldwide. However, these fluctuating estimates highlight a huge uncertainty about the real prevalence of HDV infection, mostly related to the lack of robust data on large populations of HBsAg positive patients undergoing HDV screening. This highlights the need of accurate screening programs that finely trace the circulation of HDV.

Rough-Hewn Land
"Rough-Hewn Land tells the geologic story of the American West--the story of its rocks, rivers, mountains, earthquakes, and mineral wealth, including gold. It tells it by taking you on a 1000-mile-long field trip across the rough side of the continent from the California coast to the Rocky Mountains. This book puts you on the outcrop, geologic hammer in hand, to explore the evidence for how the spectacular, rough-hewn lands of the West came to be. When North America broke free from Eurasia and Africa some 200 million years ago, it triggered a cascade of violent geologic events that shaped the West we see today. As the west-moving continent crunched across the seabed of the ancient Pacific, i...
