What Critics Say: "A tour de force for lovers of fairy tales. For those of us in the West, tales from Russia and other Eastern European countries have not been as abundantly available as we might wish. The Pilkingtons remedy this with a far-reaching, well-organized collection sure to tempt any folklore lover. There are even stories of the undead! In addition, there is an excellent glossary, a fine bibliography that will be truly useful to those who want to know more, and an excellent introduction about Slavs." Kate Wolford, Editor of Enchanted Conversation: A Fairy Tale Magazine. "I have only praise for their choice of stories, and for their organization." D. L. Ashliman, noted folklorist, author of Folk and Fairy Tales: A Handbook. "Fairy Tales of the Russians and Other Slavs reminds us that the stories that inform our ideologies are old, insightful, and significant. It is the kind of book that anyone interested in Eastern European cultural traditions simply must have." Matthew Wilhelm Kapell, anthropologist, historian, Editor of Star Trek as Myth. "The resources in the back show careful and sophisticated scholarship. As I look through the text, I keep thinking, 'This is a book that was destined to be for these writers, a work of love and enjoyment.'" Professor Ed Reber, English and Folklore, Dixie State University. Publisher's Description: This book has the best Russian fairy tales plus stories from the other Slavic countries, from Ukraine and Poland, Slovakia and Serbia, Belorussia and the old Yugoslavia, from all those places where the Slavs lived and worked and sang epic songs and told impossible tales that were somehow true. It also has stories from the Kiev Cycle, legends about great warriors and warrior princesses, about dragons and dragonslayers, about wars won against impossible odds, and loves found in the most dangerous places. This is a collection for people who like fairy tales and even for those who don't. The book contains the broadest selection of Slavic fairy tales and legends currently in print with sixty-eight stories, ten newly translated. Even those who have read all of the Afanasiev collection of Russian Fairy Tales will find something new-four stories never before published in English. Though the book is not designed for scholars, it does include a detailed glossary, an introduction, and a comprehensive bibliography for those who want to find out more.

2011 | 342 Pages | ISBN: 1405185341 | PDF | 4 MB
Evidence-based, peer reviewed, best practice management guidelines for neurologists Diagnosis is only part of the puzzle. Effective treatment is what your patients really want. The European Federation of Neurological Societies has been publishing management guidelines in the European Journal of Neurology for many years. Developed by a consensus approach, using graded evidence, and then fully peer reviewed, these guidelines provide gold-standard, best-practice guidance to the treatment of neurological disorders. They help bridge the gap between what is done and what should be done for patients with neurological disorders. The basic guidelines have been expanded with 'Recommendations' based on strong evidence and 'Good Practice Points' where only weaker evidence is available. The Guidelines in this volume include, amongst others: Neurostimulation therapy for neuropathic pain Molecular diagnosis for a range of neurological conditions Intravenous immunoglobulin in the treatment of neurological diseases Sleep disorders in neurodegenerative disorders and stroke Management of low-grade gliomas Treatment of miscellaneous idiopathic headache disorders The European Handbook of Neurological Management provides a thoroughly rounded and grounded approach to best-practice neurological management using evidence-based principles.

Alexis, MD, FAAD, Director Skin of Color Center, Department of Dermatology, St Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, New York, NY, USARichly pigmented skin is the most common skin type internationally Historically, dermatology has focused on white skin.

Essentials of Western Veterinary Acupuncture By

The field of pain research is rapidly expanding in both human and veterinary medicine, and has helped increase our understanding of acupuncture. However, many are still highly sceptical about the use of acupuncture and prefer for it to remain far from orthodox veterinary practice. This book seeks to challenge common misgivings by showing how veterinary acupuncture works (for small and large animals), and why it should be established as an orthodox form of treatment. Written from a Western approach, rather than a traditional Chinese Medicine approach, it explains the background and history of acupuncture and includes key information on safety aspects, understanding pain and how acupuncture can help, practical aspects such as types of needles and methods of restraint, and related techniques. Not intended as a techniques manual, this book is a preparatory text for those considering taking an acupuncture course and those wishing to gain a solid understanding of the subject.Content: Chapter 1 Modern Veterinary Acupuncture (pages 1-16): Chapter 2 An Historical Perspective (pages 17-32): Chapter 3 Acupuncture ?
