This is a new reference edited by two leading authorities in the field of minimally invasive surgery that differentiates itself from other similar titles by providing a stronger emphasis on incorporating newer technologies.

This volume presents the first full-scale biography of Daniel Jones, a preeminent scholar and leading British phonetician of the early twentieth century, and the first linguist to hold a chair at a British university. This book, richly illustrated with partly unpublished material traces Jones's life and career, including his contacts with other linguists, and with figures outside the linguistic world notably Robert Bridges and George Bernard Shaw.
The book provides a comprehensive, practical review of the latest advances in minimally invasive modalities employed in general surgery. Most importantly, it includes the latest NOTES-based procedures which allow the surgeon to pass an endoscope through a natural orifice thereby avoiding external incisions or scars. The text takes a disease- and technique-based approach, including chapters on a range of disorders such as peptic ulcer disease and inguinal hernia; these focus on patient selection, relevant techniques and clinical pitfalls and pointers. Other technique-based chapters such as obesity surgery, NOTES and advanced therapeutic endoscopy summarize the indications for use, technology, set up, techniques and pitfalls. With the use of minimally invasive techniques becoming more and more widespread, Minimally Invasive Surgery: Laparoscopy, Therapeutic Endoscopy and NOTES offers a timely review for all surgeons, gastroenterologists, residents and fellows wishing to improve the perioperative and operative care of their patients.

These confrontational poems about sex and boredom, drugs and suicide, document Jones' depressive, alcoholic years as an enfant terrible.
Lean Thinking was launched in the fall of 1996, just in time for the recession of 1997. It told the story of how American, European, and Japanese firms applied a simple set of principles called 'lean thinking' to survive the recession of 1991 and grow steadily in sales and profits through 1996. Even though the recession of 1997 never happened, companies were starving for information on how to make themselves leaner and more efficient. Now we are dealing with the recession of 2001 and the financial meltdown of 2002. So what happened to the exemplar firms profiled in Lean Thinking? In the new fully revised edition of this bestselling book those pioneering lean thinkers are brought up to date. Authors James Womack and Daniel Jones offer new guidelines for lean thinking firms and bring their groundbreaking practices to a brand new generation of companies that are looking to stay one step ahead of the competition.
