This is a very specialized book devoted to the clinical features of mechanically induced neuropathies. It deals particularly with localized injury and inflammation in a peripheral nerve in relationship to specific sites where a nerve becomes entrapped in a fibrous or osseofibrous tunnel or courses in a fibrous band.It is a book which will be of interest ot the neurologist, neurosurgeon and orthopedic surgeon, who will find within its pages a lucid description of the several chronic peripheral neuropathies which can easily be mistaken for a central type of lesion. The text, photographs, and in particular the line drawings, are clear and well laid out, allowing for easy reading and ready reference.Monographs of this nature are becoming increasingly numerous and inevitably have a limited field of readers, but it is important that the profession be aware of their existence for in such a book the simple answer to a baffling problem may be easily found.Jame O.

In the early months of 1942, the United States government assembled and shipped off to concentration camps 112,000 men, women, and children -- the entire Japanese-American population of the three Pacific Coast states of California, Oregon, and an Washington. This book is an attempt to tell their story. It is the story of a national calamity commonly referred to as 'our worst wartime mistake.' This tendency to write off the evacuation as a 'mistake' is to obscure its it true significance. The legal atrocity which was committed against the Japanese-Americans was the logical outgrowth of over three centuries of American experience which taught Americans to regard the United States as a white man's country, in which nonwhites 'had no rights which the white man was bound to respect' (Dred Scott decision). Although it affected only a tiny segment of our population, it reflected one of the central themes of American history -- the theme of white supremacy.

PrefaceThis book is intended for use in an introductory course in fluid mechanics. The student is expected to have completed two years of college mathematics and to be familiar with ordinary differential equations, partial differentiation, multiple integrals, Taylor series, and the basic elements of vector analysis.

Introduction to Fluid Mechanics

Whitaker, Stephen

Appropriate for both students and professionals, this volume starts with the first principles of topology and advances to general analysis. Three levels of examples and problems, ordered and numbered by degree of difficulty, illustrate important concepts. A 40-page appendix, featuring tables of theorems and counter examples, provides a valuable reference.From explorations of topological space, convergence, and separation axioms, the text proceeds to considerations of sup and weak topologies, products and quotients, compactness and compactification, and complete semimetric space. The concluding chapters explore metrization, topological groups, and function spaces. Each subject area is supplemented with examples, problems, and exercises that progress to increasingly rigorous levels. All examples and problems are classified as essential, optional, and advanced.
