In Londoners, acclaimed journalist Craig Taylor paints readers an epic portrait of todays London that is as rich and lively as the city itself. In the style of Studs Terkel (Working, Hard Times, The Good War) and Dave Isay (Listening Is an Act of Love), Londoners offers up the stories, the gripes, the memories, and the dreams of those in the great and vibrant British metropolis who love it, hate it, live it, left it, and long for it, from a West End rickshaw driver to a Soldier of the Guard at Buckingham Palace to a recovering heroin addict seeing Big Ben for the very first time. Published just in time for the 2012 London Olympic Games, Londoners is a glorious literary celebration of one of the worlds truly great cities.

Описание: Mario D'Arrigo transports his readers across time to life in war-torn 1940's Sicily as seen through the eyes of a young boy. In Mario's village the invasion of Sicily began with a wave of American warplanes dropping bombs indiscriminately. He recounts his parents' struggle with poverty and a passing War, and his mother's tenacious pursuit to emigrate to America to educate and improve the lot of her children. But how does a family in poverty raise the funds to pay for the passage of six on a ship to America? Was it even possible?While he recounts the struggle of his parents, Mario reveled in the freedom that the time and place afforded him of days filled with adventures in a countryside unchanged for generations.Through it all shines the loving bond that Mario shares with his father and the strength that he admires so much in his mother. Waterfall in the Heavens, so named for the image that is conjured by the river of lava seen against the night sky during the eruption of Mount Etna, is a story of a young boy's adventure in an ancient and beautiful land, of a family's struggles of living in poverty in a small Sicilian village, and of a conviction to begin anew. But above all else, this is a story of the strength of a family and its pursuit of the American Dream.
Автор: Stefano DArrigo, Daria Riva, Enza Maria Valente Название: Paediatric Neurological Disorders with Cerebellar Involvement: Diagnosis & Management ISBN: 2742008357 ISBN-13(EAN): 9782742008353 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 87210.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This book provides an update on paediatric neurological disorders with cerebellar involvement. The opening section of the volume is dedicated to the structure and function of cerebellum: the specific development of the cerebellum, unlike other structures of the central nervous system, begins at a later stage of foetal development and lasts longer, even after birth, thus making the cerebellum particularly vulnerable to a wide range of insults, both genetic and acquired. Of particular interest are chapters that focus on cerebellar disorders, which may occur in isolation, or else as part of more complex malformations of the posterior fossa or in association with other supratentorial anomalies. Such conditions may be encountered both as part of static congenital encephalopathies as well as in the frame of neurodegenerative or neurometabolic disorders. The recent advances in neuroimaging and genetics have enabled us to characterize and define the genetic basis of an increasing number of paediatric cerebellar disorders. The last part of the volume is dedicated to care and rehabilitation in cerebellar diseases: their correct diagnosis is pivotal in order to address patients to the appropriate genetic testing, plan clinical management and therapeutic strategies, and provide adequate genetic counselling. Contents: The Cerebellum: Structure & Function; Cerebellar Congenital Malformations: Neuroimaging & Neuropathology; Cerebellar Congenital Malformations: Syndromes; Acquired Cerebellar Disorders; Assistance & Rehabilitation in Cerebellar Disorders.
