When experiencing medical problems in the wilderness, the dictum 'Don't do any harm until the doctor comes' is not adequate because in many cases the doctor is not coming and mere first aid becomes insufficient for addressing problems. This work, edited by Wilkerson (chairman, Continuing Medical Education Committee, Wilderness Medical society), Moore (director, Rocky Mountain Regional Trauma Center, Denver Health Medical Center), and Zafren (medical director, Alaska Mountain Rescue Group), is thus a handbook of medicine, not first aid, for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of traumas and diseases that may be encountered during wilderness expeditions. Thirty-three chapters (expanded from the last edition's 25) are organized into sections covering general principles, traumatic disorders, nontraumatic disorders, and environmental injuries.

There are rumors that Golden Cove is haunted. That's why Joe Bierden and his crew are hired to take a group of scientists to the area for a month of research. For Joe, it's easy money. He plans to do a little fishing, some relaxing and simply enjoy the easiest gig of his life. At least that's the plan. Sometimes easy money isn't as easy as you expect. There are things moving in the water, and ghostly apparitions which seem undeniably real. Joe's problems get worse when he and his crew save a drowning girl who disappears only minutes later, and the scientific team captures an aquatic monster that appears almost...human. They drag it aboard and take it back to shore for experimentation, realizing only too late that the monster has a family who wants it back. A very, very big family. All the whispers about Golden Cove and its strange inhabitants are as true today as they were when the little fishing village had a different name and a truly dark reputation. Those who thought that the horror in Innsmouth had been vanquished one-hundred years ago were wrong. And it just might cost Joe and his colleagues their lives. Deeper: Sometimes there's nowhere to go but down.

Every day you are faced with difficult new cases of pediatric neurologic disease that are uncommon and very challenging. This new addition to the DI series - written by A. James Barkovich, MD, and many of the best-known names in pediatric neuroradiology - contains many quality images and a vast amount of information about many of the most common diagnoses (and many less common diagnoses) that are encountered in the imaging of children with neurological disorders. Its user-friendly format helps you to quickly find the diagnoses you are seeking and create a small list of differential diagnoses.

• Covers the top imaging diagnoses in pediatric neuroradiology, including both common and uncommon entities.
  
• Provides exquisitely reproduced imaging examples for every diagnosis-plus concise, bulleted summaries of terminology · imaging findings · key facts · differential diagnosis · pathology · clinical issues · a diagnostic checklist · and selected references.
  
• Includes an extensive image gallery for each entity, depicting common and variant cases.
  
• Offers a vivid, full-color design that makes the material easy to read.
  
• Displays a 'thumbnail' visual differential diagnosis for each entity.
