attributable to specific agents -- for example, how exanthem subitum is
attributable to human herpesvirus 6, erythema infectiosum to parvovirus B19, and
infectious mononucleosis to Epstein-Barr virus. Similarly, Lyme disease, caused
by Borrelia burgdorferi, must be added to the tick-bite fevers associated with
rash.
Like earlier editions, this edition of Krugman's Infectious Diseases of Children
should be a useful resource for students. The editors and contributors have
accomplished the difficult task of balancing breadth and detail. Several
chapters include original diagrams of the typical course of common childhood
infections. Some readers might prefer more modern graphics, but these
illustrations indicate the "kinetics" of the illness, which is helpful in
recognizing the disease in different phases and understanding pathogenesis and
immunity. Students can learn what the rash of scarlet fever looks like from the
picture of the solemn boy of the 1950s whose photograph educated their
predecessors.
General pediatricians will appreciate the chapters about clinical syndromes,
such as gastroenteritis and neonatal sepsis. These chapters present information
about the many bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic agents implicated in each
syndrome — representing 27 distinct pathogens in gastroenteritis, for example —
and provide current recommendations for management. Specialists will value the
thorough reviews of new pathogens, notably HIV, and reemerging threats, such as
that posed by tuberculosis. In the late 1950s, hospital-acquired infections
caused by penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus constituted a new problem.
Now, complex protocols for diagnostic evaluation and antimicrobial regimens are
necessary to manage infections that may be caused by resistant organisms in
hospitalized or chronically ill infants and children, who often have progressive
diseases such as cystic fibrosis. Specialists in pediatric infectious disease,
other specialists in pediatrics or surgery, and general pediatricians often care
for these children together and can share the information provided by experts on
these issues.
An appendix catalogs 26 "emerging agents," including HIV, which appears to be a
new pathogen in humans, as well as agents recently identified as the cause of
recognized illness, such as parvovirus B19, and those not yet associated with
any childhood disease, such as human herpesvirus 8. Infectious causes have also
been discovered unexpectedly in the case of some syndromes, such as infant
botulism. At this pace, the value of this classic textbook is not likely to
diminish.

John Milsom, "Field Geophysics" (3rd edition)
John Wiley & Sons | ISBN 0470843470 | 2003 Year | PDF | 2,57 Mb | 244 Pages
“ "...a valuable addition...recommend it to all those involved...a mine of
readily accessible information..."
(Archaeological Prospection, Vol 11(2), April-June 2004)
“…well produced…”
(The Leading Edge, Vol.23, No.8 August 2004)
This book is a chance to update new advances, technics, and methods in
geophysics. I rather think this is focused for professionals (on Geology or
Geophysics) who have been dealing with a specific area for some years and need
to know about the state of the art on Geophysical methods. New developments in
GPR, Gravimetry, Magnetometry, Seismic and Electrical exploration is a pretty
good chance to take an updated overview on Geophysics.
I recommend such issue as an overview of modern Geophysics, it is not necessary
to get involved in hard math develops to understand the goal of the book.
