Surgery of the Esophagus
While a surgeon many decades agotreated diseases from headtotoe, this concept has evolved, and today some degree of specialization is the rule worldwide. In many countries various boards for sub-specializations are designed, and after a broad training in general surgery, many young surgeons move on further into a specific field. Knowledge of anatomy and precise surgical technique remain the foundation of high quality surgery. A knowledgeable surgeon, equipped with excellent theore- cal and clinical skills, will only be accomplished when he or she masters the - erative techniques of the practice of surgery. The legacy of an academic surgeon or a surgical teacher relies in great part onthe tra...
Dead Light
During a violent September thunderstorm, a man's body falls from the Sabakina Tower, and crashes into the garden outside the Kremlin walls. Colonel Vladimir Antonovich from the SID, Special Investigations Department, rushes to the scene with his partners, Kulick and Frunze. At the wall, they discover that the man has no identification, but he does have a note in his hand, badly smudged from the rain. Since there's a hole in the man's head, and no gun is found, interesting questions arise. Did the man shoot himself and someone picked up the gun and ran off with it, or did someone else shoot him, and then push him over. As Colonel Antonovich investigates, he finds that there have been other suicides recently, most handled by the Militia. Strangely, the families of all of them are missing. Soon, he discovers that the family of the man found outside the Kremlin wall is missing, too. Antonovich also finds a trail of illegal exit visas, evidence of laundered money, multiple cases of unlawful death, and the questionalbe disposition of nuclear waste. Now, he must find out who is reponsible before anymore "suicides" are found, or somebody makes a bomb from waste.

Die Liebe ist der Dichtung Stern
Archäologische Funde legen nahe, dass die Geschichte der Juden in Augsburg wenigstens bis ins dritte Jahrhundert der christlichen Zeitrechnung zurückreicht, als der Ort Distrikthauptstadt der römischen Provinz Rätien war. Im 9. Jahrhundert gibt es erste Berichte über eine Synagoge direkt neben dem Sitz des kaiserlichen Vogts. Eine städtische Urkunde aus dem Jahr 1298 berichtet vom Ausbau der Bischofsstadt, zu welchem die Augsburger Judenschaft sich verpflichtete, einen etwa 450m langen Abschnitt der Stadtmauer zu errichten, binnen vier Jahren aus eigenen Mitteln, der sogleich auch den bereits existierenden jüdischen Friedhof miteinschließen sollte. In den Jahrhunderten nach der Auswe...

The Genetics of Alcoholism
This volume provides an in-depth look at the genetic influences that contribute to the development of alcoholism. Part I: Epidemiologic Studies contains five chapters that examine the various approaches employed in the study of the genetics of alcoholism. It provides a historical perspective and details all the essentials of this subject. Part II: Selective Breeding Studies highlights the results of research involving the selective breeding of rodents. This type of research has produced homogenous strains exhibiting specific behavioral responses considered significant in the development and maintenance of alcohol dependence. The studies presented in Part III: Phenotypic Studies investigate and analyze phenotypic markers that serve as correlates to the genotypic determinants of alcoholism. Through its broad scope, this volume provides for the first time a panoramic view of the knowledge available on the hereditary influences of alcoholism.
