This book describes the diagnoses; staging and management of patients with colorectal liver metastases initially considered unresectable and portrays the different strategies to increase resectability along with their tactics and tricks. Colorectal carcinoma is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world and according to recent cancer statistics around 1.23 million patients are diagnosed each year. Of these patients, approximately 50% will develop liver metastases during the course of their disease and around 15-25% are found to have stage IV disease at diagnosis. Liver resection has been recognized as the treatment of choice for these patients, offering overall 5-year survival rat...
"A book that examines how structural inequalities directly influence undergraduate life. Universities love to talk about diversity. They spend millions of dollars advertising just how diverse they, offering diversity statistics that are personalized with pictures. But Anthony Jack argues that this is a superficial approach. He calls it a "gift shop" approach that displays groups like trinkets and fails to truly serve students from underrepresented groups. Moreover, social class is almost entirely absent from the conversation. Never before have the platitudes of diversity left universities ill-prepared to support their students--especially those who are lower-income and/or first generation--t...

Trager and her coauthors focus on migration not as a single event but as a dynamic process that responds to and is shaped by broader economic, cultural and social forces. Individual essays consider issues of international and internal migration, of voluntary migration and forced movements due to civil conflicts and environmental degradation, and of macro-level forces and micro-level institutions. The authors investigate a wide variety of types of mobility, describe transnational and multilocal networks through which remittances and other flows take place; focus on migrants as active agents; and examine the impacts of ethnicity and assimilation. They offer original studies on Mexico, Puerto Rico, West Africa, Kazakstan, and Mozambique. This new volume will be a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in development anthropology, migration studies, and international planning and policy.

En este volumen se aborda la filosofía de Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), la cual consuma una revuelta contra los ídolos y valores que ha legado la tradición occidental, tales como "la verdad", "el bien", "Dios" y "la razón". La tarea y el desafío nietzscheanos nos interpelan a sospechar de las verdades absolutas y a recordar el carácter situado y finito de nuestras perspectivas, valoraciones y conceptos. Su perspectivismo, sintetizado en la sentencia: "no hay hechos sino sólo interpretaciones", articula de este modo la "filosofía del martillo" y su potencia crítica con la posibilidad intempestiva de construir otros modos de pensar y de ser en el mundo.
