ISBN: 9780306463273 / Angielski / Twarda / 443 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Early Thoughts on Creating Comprehensive Trauma Centers This volume has been many years in writing.

Interviewing the centers in this book has taken years-to get responses, to summarize those responses, and to return the summaries for further comment. Many centers have been created in that time; others have suspended operation. This volume does not claim to present even a majority of those centers. However, the ones contained herein are...

It so happened that all three of us had been entertaining the notion of writing a book on state and local population projections.

But as far as we can tell from this vantage point, the virus continues, albeit a bit hobbled by a few drugs here and there, but moving forward nonetheless. Predictions are that over 100 million people will be infected with HIV by 2005. It is also clear that the number of people living with HIV in the US and other developed countries will...

Elements including social and economical inequalities, gender discrimination, political violence and malnutrition and poor physical health all...

Peace of mind is a most precious resource, without which neither rich nor poor can know happiness. Yet mental health is undervalued and routinely taken for granted. Moreover, we allow war, torture, violence, poverty, d- ease, discrimination, and domestic abuse to undermine it. The wounds inflicted by these great human ills sicken the individual psyche, tear f- ilies apart, and send shock waves through society. Natural disasters, too, can cause sudden and acute trauma.
