One third of misdiagnosed medical cases result in serious injury or death. Moreover, 40,000-80,000 deaths occur each year in the United States alone because of misdiagnosis. This is a major clinical crisis that medical schools and hospitals have failed to adequately address. There is currently no book available that provides general clinicians with the knowledge to prevent such lethal errors in a variety of disciplines. Composed of clinical cases, the book represents seventy chapters fashioned into sixteen modules and are organized by systems, such as allergy and immunology, cardiology, neurology and rheumatology, just to name a few. Each chapter is organized with a general introduction to t...

Joe by contrast is the privileged son of a wealthy Silicon Valley hot shot with the means and foresight to construct an emergency bunker in the Antarctic as a precautionary measure. Forced to relocate there, his travels are also beset by formidable obstacles. The three finally meet up and bond on the Antarctic Peninsula where life is initially idyllic. Their new lives are soon turned upside down by the arrival of a ship whose desperate crew have turned cannibal. In a brutal finale, Carla, Joe and Sabine must fight for their lives against these ghouls. Carla celebrates their victory by her sexual conquest of Joe, sealing their union.

This edited volume advances our understanding of urban activism beyond the social movement theorization dominated by thesis of political opportunity structure and resource mobilization, as well as by research based on experience from the global north. Covering a diversity of urban actions from a broad range of countries in both hemispheres as well as the global north and global south, this unique collection notably focuses on non-institutionalised or localised urban actions that have the potential to bring about radical structural transformation of the urban system and also addresses actions in authoritarian regimes that are too sensitive to call themselves “movement”. It addresses local...
