Blind Oracles
In BLIND ORACLES, Bruce Kuklick examines how American presidents, at least since Roosevelt, have used scholars as learned councils to advise on policy. In his case studies, Kuklick tells who these scholars were (George Kennan, Robert McNamara, Henry Kissinger) and where they were from (Harvard, the Ford Foundation, the Rand Corporation) as he reviews major events such as the Cuban missile crisis and the war in
Vietnam. A major question is whether the advice of these specialists was given blindly without bias, or whether it was politicized, shaped to align with presidential objectives. In telling his story, Kuklick provides fascinating portraits of learned men whose powerful personalities and egos match their brainpower as he opens up revealing chapters of Cold War history.
Defiance
In this candid, moving middle-grade novel, the friendship forged between 11-year-old Toby Steiner and 94-year-old poet Pearl transforms both lives. Toby has already suffered through a difficult bout of cancer treatment, so when a lump reoccurs on his side while on vacation in the countryside, he`s determined to tell no one, least of all his overly worried mother. Instead, he spends his time with Pearl and her aging cow, Blossom, talking about all sorts of things, including the importance of personal independence. This touching, uplifting work was named a 2005 Kirkus Reviews Best Children`s Book.

Arrhythmias In Clinical Practice
Combining the in-depth coverage of a textbook with the utility of a diagnostic manual, this book provides the reader with a comprehensive resource that is also as an everyday cardiology reference. Focusing on the clinical correlates of the most common findings, the book introduces the cardiologist-in-training to the fundamental principles of the subject. It bridges the gap between the numerous manuals of ECG interpretation and more detailed specialist texts dedicated to cardiac electrophysiology. Coverage includes an introduction to cardiac arrhythmias, reviews of each of their major types of arrhythmias with incidences, causes, clinical presentations, and assessments.

Carbon Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is no longer a merely social talking point and is beginning to affect the lives of everyone. Carbon nanotechnology as a major shaper of new nanotechnologies has evolved into a truly interdisciplinary field, which encompasses chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, materials science and engineering. This is a field in which a huge amount of literature has been generated within recent years, and the number of publications is still increasing every year. Carbon Nanotechnology aims to provide a timely coverage of the recent development in the field with updated reviews and remarks by world-renowned experts. Intended to be an exposition of cutting-edge research and development rather than a kind of conference proceeding, Carbon Nanotechnology will be very useful not only to experienced scientists and engineers, who wish to broaden their knowledge of the wide-ranging nanotechnology and/or to develop practical devices, but also to graduate and senior undergraduate students who look...
