This color atlas is a unique visual learning tool for the surgeon planning and performing orbital operative procedures. Featuring more than 500 full-color drawings and photographs and nearly 200 radiographic images, the book enables the surgeon to visualize the anatomic structures of the orbit, the pathologic changes affecting these structures, and the surgical techniques used for specific problems. The text and graphic presentation aid the surgeon in developing a thorough understanding of anatomy, pathology, and surgical technique and applying this knowledge in surgical decision-making.Emphasis throughout is on the dynamic nature of the surgical decision-making process and the reasoning the skillful surgeon uses to adapt surgical techniques to the problem at hand. The authors emphasize pathologic change both from an investigative point of view and within the surgical environment by linking drawings to actual cases.The book begins with a review of the principles of surgical management, including indications for orbital surgery, clinicopathologic concepts, general techniques, lesion-specific management, and disease-specific indications for orbital surgery. An atlas of orbital anatomy presents a complete, detailed surgeon's-eye view of the orbital and periorbital structures. An atlas of orbital surgery depicts regional approaches to the anterior orbit, mid-orbit, and apical orbit and techniques for combined orbital and periorbital lesions; exenteration; and decompression for thyroid orbitopathy.A slide set of Orbital Surgery will also be available from Lippincott-Raven.

Back to the Soil: The Jewish Farmers of Clarion, Utah, and Their World (Utah Centennial Series)

The image of the Jew solely as urbanite may stem from the period of 1880 to 1920, when two million Jews left their homes in Eastern Europe and established themselves in the urban centers of America. Lesser known are the agrarian efforts of Jewish immigrants. In Back to the Soil, Robert Goldberg focuses on the attempt of one such Jewish colony in Clarion, Utah. In 1911, eighty-one families left eastern cities to farm the Clarion tract. Jewish families funded the venture, the governor of Utah en-couraged it, and the Mormon Church financially aided the community. Despite these efforts, Clarion died as an organizational entity in 1916, with the dozen remaining families departing by the mid-1920s.
Goldberg sheds light on the values and ideals of the colonists, the daily rhythm of life, the personalities of the settlers, and the struggle for and eventual collapse of their dream. Of all the attempts to establish a Jewish colony on the land, Clarion was the largest and had the longest existence of any colony west of the Appalachians. The Clarion fragment, lost and forgotten, thus becomes a crucial part of the larger mosaic of Jewish history in the West.
Release of this new paperback edition is timed to coincide with the celebration of the centennial of the founding of the Clarion colony.

Lowell Bennion, Sterling McMurrin, and Obert Tanner were colleagues whose lives often intertwined. All professors at the University of Utah, these three scholars addressed issues and events of their time; each influenced the thought and culture of Mormonism, helping to institute a period of intellectual life and social activism. In Conscience and Community multiple scholars, family members, and others look at the private and public aspects of three lives and examine the roles they played in shaping their communities inside and out of their university and church. Lowell Bennion was founding director of the LDS Institute of Religion and professor of sociology at the University of Utah. He established multiple community service entities. Sterling McMurrin was distinguished professor of philosophy and history, dean of the graduate school, and former commissioner of education under JFK. He dismissed dogma and doctrine as barriers to a search for moral and spiritual understanding. Obert Tanner, also of the university’s Philosophy Department, excelled in teaching and business and became especially well known for philanthropy. The lives and work of these three men reveal the tensions between faith and reason, conscience and obedience. Their stories speak to us today because their concerns remain our concerns: racial justice, women’s equality, gay rights, and the meaning of integrity and conscience.
