  In Ancestors in Our Genome, molecular anthropologist Eugene E. Harris presents us with a complete and up-to-date account of the evolution of the human genome and our species. Written from the perspective of population genetics, and in simple terms, the book traces human origins back to their source among our earliest human ancestors, and explains many of the most intriguing questions that genome scientists are currently working to answer. For example, what does the high level of discordance among the gene trees of humans and the African great apes tell us about our respective separations from our common ancestor? Was our separation from the apes fast or slow, and when and why did it occur? Where, when, and how did our modern species evolve? How do we search across genomes to find the genomic underpinnings of our large and complex brains and language abilities? How can we find the genomic bases for life at high altitudes, for lactose tolerance, resistance to disease, and for our different skin pigmentations? How and when did we interbreed with Neandertals and the recently discovered ancient Denisovans of Asia? Harris draws upon extensive experience researching primate evolution in order to deliver a lively and thorough history of human evolution.

  This powerful collection, depicting the events of the Great War at sea, showcases the work of the contemporary combat artists and illustrators from the Great War era. The result is a stunning and vivid graphic record of life and death on the high-seas from 1914-18, as reported to contemporary audiences at a time when the events of the Great War were still unfolding. During the Great War artists and illustrators produced a highly accurate visual record of the fleeting moments the bulky cameras couldn't reproduce. These works form a body ofwar reportage that are as valid as the written word. Today, the work of the combat illustrators and the official war artists from the Great War era is overlooked by historians in favour of photographs, but these illustrations are nonetheless important, as they provide a contemporary record of hand-to-hand fighting, trench raids, aerial dogfights, sea battles, desperate last stands, night actions and cavalry charges.

  Patients involved in major trauma frequently suffer from severe blood loss and anemia, which can be challenging to treat. Additional issues are presented in the population of Jehovah’s Witness patients, who refuse transfusions of allogenic blood or its components. We established a stable hemodynamic status in a young Jehovah’s Witness patient with major trauma by applying principles of patient blood management.  
  About the Patient Blood Management Case Report Series  
  Patient Blood Management (PBM) is a multidisciplinary, evidence-based approach to improve perioperative patient care. The concept includes preoperative screening, diagnosis and treatment of anemia and hemostasis, adequate blood product utilization and blood-sparing techniques. The use of a PBM concept will be of benefit for patients, society, doctors and hospitals. The case reports in this series will provide a case-based deeper understanding of the concept.

  As an active Forex, indices and commodities trader since 2002, whilst also coaching new and experienced traders since 2009, Alistair has put together a clear and actionable summary of what's required to make it in the world of online trading. 
  This book focuses on what Alistair describes as his "Four Pillars of Trading". 
  Many traders unknowingly operate outside these four pillars, or at best, only apply some of them to their trading process. This may mean they have some short-lived success, but when the inevitable pressure periods come about and the losing runs hit, if all four pillars in are not in place, the traders results and approach start to unravel. 
  This book is not another trading strategy, or a set of handpicked in the moment hypothetical trade scenarios. Instead it offers a clear and proven applicable trading framework that Alistair effectively uses both with his students and in his own trading.
