First published in 1939, this is the definitive text on patient positioning for the diagnostic radiography student and practitioner. The experienced author team appreciates that there is no substitute for a good understanding of basic skills in patient positioning and an accurate knowledge of anatomy to ensure good radiographic practice. This 12th edition retains the book’s pre-eminence in the field, with hundreds of positioning photographs and explanatory line diagrams, a clearly defined and easy-to-follow structure, and international applicability. The book presents the essentials of radiographic techniques in a practical way, avoiding unnecessary technical complexity and ensuring that the student and practitioner can find quickly the information that they require regarding particular positions. All the standard positioning is included, accompanied by supplementary positions where relevant and illustrations of pathology where appropriate. Common errors in positioning are also discussed.
Concludes the story of the 134-year history of the U.S. government's relations with Alaska's Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut peoples that the authors first book began. The culmination of that story occurred in 1971 when Congress enacted the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, the most generous settlement of aboriginal land claims in the nation's history. The insightful and exhaustively researched work also tells the never before told story of the political history of the Last Frontier during the first decade of Alaska statehood. It is an adventure story that reaffirms the age-old truths that history is made by the men and women who live it, that the law of unintended consequences produces outcomes that do not necessarily match intentions, and that, if they care enough, individuals can make a difference.
