ISBN: 9789390095452 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The equilibrium and understanding between India and China that was built on the premise that both were at the same level of development, and hence need to give full play to their complementarities and potentialities, has seemingly shifted, owing to the balance of power favouring China.

The Introduction of Coronary Care Units (1960-1985): An Unparalleled Triumph
ISBN: 9781527582408 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book recapitulates the discussion on the worth of Coronary Care Units (CCUs), introduced with unprecedented speed between 1965 and 1975. Did they really substantially lower death from myocardial infarction, as was said by their proponents? Did the 'before and after'-research prove its value, being scientifically sound enough to justify the enormous investments in it? These are some of the questions explored here, as the book considers leading medics such as CCU-defender Bernard Lown or CCU-critic Ivan Illich.
