Lung Function in Health and Disease: Basic Concepts of Respiratory Physiology and Pathophysiology

Camillo Peracchia, Nasr H. Anaizi

Beschreibung

This reference presents basic concepts of respiratory function in normal and diseased states. The volume stresses a quantitative approach to physical parameters used as indicators of normal and diseased respiratory functions. The contents of this reference encourages medical students, residents and fellows to become “clinical detectives”, by presenting information aimed at enhancing their understanding of how normal respiratory mechanisms are altered by diseases that affect pulmonary ventilation and/or blood perfusion, tissue oxygenation, acid-base balance, respiratory mechanics, oxygen and carbon dioxide transport, control of breathing, and so on. 
This book is intended for first and second year medical students as well as for residents and fellows, especially in disciplines such as anesthesiology and pulmonary medicine. In addition, the unique mechanistic approach of this book also provides a useful reference for teachers of respiratory physiology who are not involved in respiratory research or have not been specifically trained in organ-system physiology; this book fills this gap by providing modern physiology faculty some tools for learning the “nuts-and-bolts” of lung physiology and pathophysiology.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Shining," by Stephen King, tells the story of Jack Torrance, a struggling writer and recovering alcoholic, who takes a job as the winter caretaker at the remote Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies. He brings his wife, Wendy, and their young son, Danny, with him. The hotel, with its dark history and isolation, begins to exert a malevolent influence over Jack. As the family becomes snowbound, Jack's sanity deteriorates, and he becomes increasingly violent. Danny, who possesses psychic abilities referred to as the “shining”, senses the evil presence in the hotel. The story explores themes of isolation, the corruption of power, and the battle between good and evil, as the family fights for survival against both supernatural forces and Jack's growing madness. The Overlook itself is a character, with a history of violence and despair that fuels the events of the novel.

Homeschooling - You're Doing It...

Ginny Yurich

Be encouraged! You're already "doing it right" just by doing it. 
 
· a must-have resource for parents who homeschool or who want to start 
· from the founder of the 1000 Hours Outside Movement  
· equips parents with the confidence and tools they need to give their children the education they dream of and deserve 
 
During the past five years, homeschooling rates have been on the rise and show no signs of slowing. But many parents lack confidence, questioning whether they are doing it right (or whether they should take the plunge at all). With so many voices offering conflicting advice, it's hard to know where to start and where to go from there. 
 
A homeschooling mother of five and founder of 1000 Hours Outside, Ginny Yurich draws from her years of experience and research, as well as her master's degree in education from the University of Michigan, to encourage and equip parents who want to give homeschooling a try or want to improve their experience.  
 
Starting from the standpoint of "you're doing it right" instead of "you're doing it wrong," Ginny helps parents understand that just by choosing to homeschool they are 
· learning through living 
· allowing for individual timelines 
· leaving space for boredom 
· providing multiage experiences 
· teaching self-reliance 
· offering freedom 
· slowing down 
· and more 
 
If you've been on the fence about homeschooling or wondering if you're doing it all wrong, let Ginny encourage you in all you've already accomplished and equip you for even greater things ahead.

Deschooling Society - Why we...

Iván Illich

This recording has been digitally produced by DeepZen Limited, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. DeepZen uses Emotive Speech Technology to create digital narrations that offer a similar listening experience to human narration.  
 
Schools and universities support misleading notions of 'progress' and development, fostered by the belief that ever-increasing production, consumption and profit are proper yardsticks for measuring the quality of human life. Our universities are the recruitment centres for the personnel of the consumer society, certifying citizens for service, while at the same time disposing of those judged unfit for the competitive rat race. In this bold and provocative book, Illich suggests some radical and exciting reforms for the education system.
