Peter R. Auer's first book, Flight from Vienna, recounts the courtship of Lili Gruen and Rudi Auer and their life in early-thirties Vienna before the rise of anti-Semitism and the rise of Hitlerism drives them from their beloved homeland. Its sequel, Exiled in Palestine, finds Rudi and Lili married and attempting to build a life in Palestine, where they are exiled under British Mandate. War soon spills over-the pair is interned, and Lili gives birth to their first child while in the camp. With the closing of the mandate, the young family is sent to a distant land. Trapped in Tatura picks up the tale-based on the true story-of the Auer family as they find themselves interned once more-in Tatura, in faraway Victoria, Australia. The anti-Semitism so prominent in Europe has spread even to these far reaches, and Rudi, Lili, and their young son, Peter, face mistreatment and prejudice wherever they turn. A daughter, Liselotte, is added to the family during internment in Tatura. Life is di

Written by more than 90 well-known experts, this volume provides complete coverage of the musculoskeletal aspects of sports medicine. The book offers detailed, authoritative guidelines on the diagnosis, evaluation, conservative care, and surgical treatment of every sports-related musculoskeletal injury, from head to toe. More than 900 illustrations complement the text. The book is organized according to anatomic parts that support the differential approach that clinicians use when evaluating an injury. Because specific sports place unique demands on the musculoskeletal system, the text also discusses aspects of injury within the most common sports. "Principles and Practice of Orthopaedic Sports Medicine" is part of a three-volume series. The other volumes focus on exercise and sport science and primary care aspects of sports medicine. This book is a Brandon-Hill recommended title. Product details

Mechanics of Solids and Materials intends to provide a modern and integrated treatment of the foundations of solid mechanics as applied to the mathematical description of material behavior. The 2006 book blends both innovative (large strain, strain rate, temperature, time dependent deformation and localized plastic deformation in crystalline solids, deformation of biological networks) and traditional (elastic theory of torsion, elastic beam and plate theories, contact mechanics) topics in a coherent theoretical framework. The extensive use of transform methods to generate solutions makes the book also of interest to structural, mechanical, and aerospace engineers. Plasticity theories, micromechanics, crystal plasticity, energetics of elastic systems, as well as an overall review of math and thermodynamics are also covered in the book. Product details

Whittaker Chambers and Elizabeth Bentley shocked America in 1948 with their allegations that Communist spies had penetrated the American government. The resulting perjury trial of Alger Hiss is already legendary, but Chambers and Bentley also named Harry Dexter White, a high-ranking Treasury official. (Hiss himself thought that White had been the real target of the House Un-American Activities Committee.) When White died only a week after his bold defense before Congress, much speculation remained about the cause of his death and the truth of the charges made against him. Armed with a wealth of new information, Bruce Craig examines this controversial case and explores the ambiguities that have haunted it for more than half a century. The highest ranking figure in the Roosevelt and Truman administrations to be accused of espionage, White played a central role in the founding of the United Nations' twin financial institutions, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
