This book approaches the ACL deficient knee from a different perspective than those of the previous classical ways. The common approach is the analysis of closed compartments; anatomy, biomechanics, physical findings, imaging, surgical treatment and rehabilitation. The approach of this book is completely opposite, focusing on questions, controversies, problem analyses and problem solving, besides analyzing the possibility of prevention. Therefore, in each chapter, the biomechanics, anatomy, and other areas that are relevant to the topic are reviewed. There are chapters where highly specialized surgical techniques are presented (acute ACL repair, double bundle reconstruction, chondral lesions treatment or meniscal transplant). These chapters are written by internationally renowned specialists that are pioneers in the topic analyzed. Another interesting aspect of this book are the step by step surgical techniques videos, that will allow a knee specialist to perform the technique presented by the author. Moreover, the videos will include anatomy and physical therapy techniques.

Robert Thorson's subject is Thoreau the rock and mineral collector, interpreter of landscapes, and field scientist whose compass and measuring stick were as important to him as his plant press.

Organized Jewish musical activity in Nazi Germany developed because of the prohibition of Jewish performers from appearing before the general public. In Saxony, new Jewish ensembles formed, at first, under the auspices of the religious communities, the only Jewish organizations permitted to function by the Saxon authorities; only with the formation in 1935 of the Reichsverband der jüdischen Kulturbünde, under the supervision of Hans Hinkel, did Saxony also consent to autonomous Jewish Kulturbünde as they existed elsewhere in the Reich. Hinkel protected the Kulturbünde as his fiefdom, but imposed restrictions: Aryans were not allowed to attend or participate in performances; music by composers like Beethoven, who expressed the German soul, could not be performed by Jews. Nevertheless, Jewish musical life flourished, not only in the big cities (Leipzig, Dresden, Chemnitz), but also in the smaller towns - an affirmation of the German Jews' identification with German and European culture. Includes many facsimiles of documents, concert programs, and calendars of performances.
Da die Komplexität gegenwärtiger Stadtentwicklungskonflikte in Quartieren wie Hamburg-St. Pauli etablierte diskurstheoretische Zugänge mit ihrem Fokus auf sprachliche Diskurse herausfordert, entwirft Katharina Wischmann ein an Michel Foucault anschließendes Diskurskonzept, das Visualität und Materialität als Dimensionen des Diskursiven konzeptualisiert. Die Autorin zeigt, auf welche Weise spezifische Architekturen, Hochhausquartiere und Altbaubestände, Abrisse und Neubauten gesellschaftliche Machtverhältnisse konstituieren. Mit einem stadtphotographischen Zugang wird die Rolle dieser Visualitäten und Materialitäten erforscht und diese als Kristallisationspunkte stadtteilpolitischen Argumentierens und Positionierens herausgearbeitet.
