Synopsis
Featuring 300 full-colour photographs, this atlas provides an expert guide to visual diagnosis and management in paediatric medical and surgical emergencies. It's an indispensable visual reference in the emergency department, or in the paediatric clinic where rapid diagnosis depends on accurate physical observations. Each chapter begins with a brief overview that offers a general discussion of the issues relevant to a particular type of emergency - including signs and symptoms and algorithms to aid differential diagnosis. Heavily illustrated descriptions of specific emergencies follow, comprising the bulk of each chapter. Features - Full-colour images throughout - Presents both medical and surgical emergencies in a visual format - Logically organised by body system or region - Standardised chapter template makes information retrieval eas, ~Farming in Nature's Image provides, for the first time, a detailed look into the pioneering work of The Land Institute, the leading educational and research organization for sustainable agriculture. The authors draw on case studies, hands-on experience, and research results to explain the applications of a new system of agriculture based on one unifying concept: that farms should mimic the ecosystems in which they exist. They present both theoretical and practical information, including: a review of the environmental degradation resulting from current farming practices a critical evaluation of the attempts to solve these problems a detailed description of the ecosystem perspective and the proposed new agricultural system a case study illustrating how this new system could be applied to temperate grain production using perennial seed crops and the prairie as a model an examination of the potential savings in energy and water use, as well as potential contributions to ecological experiments and yield analysis work from The Land Institute. Written in clear, non-technical language, this book will be of great interest to soil and agricultural scientists, academics, policymakers, environmentalists, and other concerned with finding long-range solutions to agricultural problems., Farming in Nature's Image provides, for the first time, a detailed look into the pioneering work of The Land Institute, the leading educational and research organization for sustainable agriculture.The authors draw on case studies, hands-on experience, and research results to explain the applications of a new system of agriculture based on ......, Farming in Nature's Image provides, for the first time, a detailed look into the pioneering work of The Land Institute, the leading educational and research organization for sustainable agriculture.The authors draw on case studies, hands-on experience, and research results to explain the applications of a new system of agriculture based on one unifying concept: that farms should mimic the ecosystems in which they exist.
