A practical, approachable and accessible guide to total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) for novice to experienced practitioners.

Recently, nostalgic, "whitened" versions of música tropical have gained popularity as part of government-sponsored multiculturalism. Wade's fresh look at the way music transforms and is transformed by ideologies of race, nation, sexuality, tradition, and modernity is the first book-length study of Colombian popular music.
