More than sixty years ago, author Dr. Frank G. Moody began treating patients as a second-year medical student at Dartmouth Medical School-Mary Hitchcock Clinic in Hanover, New Hampshire. He was an academic surgeon for the next fifty-five years. In his memoir, Frank Reflections, he offers both a personal and professional overview of his life-his birth in 1928 in New Hampshire; his childhood during the Great Depression; his extensive schooling, both academic and medical; his military service; his experiences serving the sick as a surgical educator; the challenges of his profession; his personal joys of raising three grown children; and his love of skiing and hiking. Recalling a wide range of place, including New York, California Alabama, Utah, and Texas, this memoir communicates Moody's dedication to his craft. Recapping a long and productive, but sometimes winding and turbulent career, Frank Reflections shares insights into Moody's world, in which he tried to enjoy life while helping others get well from their illnesses.
Synchrotron radiation is today extensively used for fundamental and applied research in many different fields of science. Its exceptional characteristics in terms of intensity, brilliance, spectral range, time structure and now also coherence pushed many experimental techniques to previously un-reachable limits, enabling the performance of experiments unbelievable only few years ago. The book gives an up-to-date overview of synchrotron radiation research today with a view to the future, starting from its generation and sources, its interaction with matter, illustrating the main experimental technique employed and provides an overview of the main fields of research in which new and innovative results are obtained. The book is addressed to PhD students and young researchers to provide both an introductory and a rather deep knowledge of the field. It will also be helpful to experienced researcher who want to approach the field in a professional way.

This short book provides a concise study of the mechanics of head impact in a soccer heading manoeuvre. It describes the development and validation of finite element models of soccer ball and human head, as well as the simulation of brain dynamics after ball-to-head impact. In addition, it also presents a computational study of the efficacy of wearing protective headgear in mitigating the risk of concussion due to heading in soccer.
Granville Stuart (1834-1918) is a quintessential Western figure, a man whose adventures rival those of Wyatt Earp, Buffalo Bill, or Sitting Bull, and who embodied many of the contradictions of America's westward expansion.

But he also taught himself Shoshone, French, and Spanish, denounced formal religion, married a Shoshone woman, and eventually became a United States diplomat.In this fascinating biography, Clyde A. Milner II and Carol A. O'Connor, co-editors of the acclaimed Oxford History of the American West, trace Stuart's remarkable trajectory from his birth in Virginia, through his formative years...
