Trauma is the most common cause of death for individuals under the age of forty, and the third most common cause of death at all ages. Prompt, appropriate care for these patients can save lives and shorten the recovery time from devastating injury. These patients are frequently young and resilient, and if optimally treated, many will return to their normal lives. The first few hours of care is crucial to obtain this outcome, but paradoxically in many countries, the most seriously ill or injured patients are frequently dealt with by the most junior and inexperienced staff. This is the first of a series of handbooks on Accident and Emergency Medicine. It reflects the growing interest and concern about trauma care and the important role of accident and emergency specialists in the early care of their patients.

"Geographic Information Systems helps students understand how GIS enables us to digitally represent the forms, patterns and processes of Earth. The text demonstrates how the special qualities of spatial geographic data require new methods and theories, and how these new methods and theories embody the field of GIScience that underlie the technology of GIS. Designed for users already familiar with GIS, it takes students beyond the surface of the technology by explaining methods and algorithms in enough detail for students to get an intuitive grasp of the underlying ideas while also demonstrating how those ideas are applied to geographical information. In order to help students become more effective users of GIS technology, the book highlights many of the common research challenges of GIS and invites the reader to think broadly about the assumptions embedded in GIS practice today. The authors stress a critical approach throughout by describing selected aspects of the field in sufficient depth to scrutinize the formalisms underlying the simple user-interfaces that greet new GIS users. Geographic Information Systems serves as an indispensable gateway to higher study in GIS by readers interested in the fundamental research challenges facing the field today."--

As an export-oriented nation, Canada has always seen trade as inextricably connected to its political and social identity. In particular, the quest for free trade with the United States has, from pre-Confederation days, been a dominant theme in Canadian history. Decision at Midnight is the story of the achievement of that goal, as told by three insiders intimately involved with the free-trade negotiations. On 2 January 1988, Canada and the United States signed what was then the most comprehensive free-trade agreement that the world had seen. This book is the story of the FTA negotiations themselves, the preparations for and conduct of the negotiations, as well as the ideas and issues that were behind them. From their unique perspective as participants, Hart, Dymond, and Robertson capture the drama and the personalities involved in the long struggle to make a free-trade deal. They describe the extensive consultations, the turf-fighting among insiders, the innate caution of both politicians and bureaucrats, and the need to cultivate powerful constituencies in order to overcome the inertia of conventional wisdom.
