Over the years I have shared anecdotes with friends and colleagues from the times that I worked in mental hospitals. My daughters Elizabeth and Catherine have encouraged me to put down in writing the stories that seemed to capture their attention and others who have heard them. Like many people I have talked about writing a book and now with their encouragement I have done it. I have worked in six mental hospitals in different capacities over the years. Nowadays most mental hospitals have been closed or in a few cases reduced in size leaving only a few beds on what were massive sites often with their own farms creating a self-sufficient community.

Does every event have a cause? The question seems innocuous enough; hardly expected to lead directly into all kinds of trouble. It should have an easy straightforward answer. Except it doesn''t. And the proposition that the answer challenges every other belief we hold in our ethics, our politics, and even our personal theologies, is downright preposterous. Except it does. Through a progression of short connected essays and soliloquies, this provocative book explores the profound psychological, moral, and spiritual implications that follow from this one simple (yes or no) question, weaving the most intriguing perplexities of neuroscience and modern physics into the three paramount (life and death) concerns of every thoughtful human being: The existence of God, the prospect of immortality, and finding meaning in our present lives. Moving succinctly from sensible neurophysiology and basic chaos theory, to the baffling enigma of consciousness and the bewildering weirdness of quantum theory, it bravely confronts the inescapable corollary question: Do we have free will?This bold venture into trustworthy determinism and uplifting secular humanism might be unsettling, maybe even upsetting, for some good people, including loyal patients and faithful friends. Hence the author, a primary care physician in southwestern Wisconsin, has taken a pen name. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin Medical School, Fellow of the American College of Physicians, and UW Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine from 1982 to 2011, his professional writings have appeared in a wide variety of national journals, including JAMA, Archives of Internal Medicine, Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, and Annals of Internal Medicine.

Statistics is a topic that generates a range of emotions: from unmitigated joy at making sense of reams of data to sheer fright at the very mention of a word that sounds eerily like ''sadistics''. Data Analysis for Business: Statistics in a Brave New World aims to lessen the fear of this much-maligned science by introducing a range of practical applications and examples to fit a range of scenarios. Gone are the formulaic, number-crunching examples that dominate most textbooks, to be replaced by real-life examples. Each chapter includes instructions on how to convert data into easily interpretable output. Data Analysis for Business: Statistics in a Brave New World focuses on a mixture of descriptive and inferential statistics, including which graph best fits which dataset, which numbers are best used to summarise this dataset, how probability dictates our lives without consciously thinking of it in such terms, how the knowledge of relationships between variables can aid in prediction, and techniques to forecast key performance indicators. This book also explains why the median house price is not always an accurate guide to average house prices, how odds are calculated and how games like roulette use this to protect against ''losing runs'', why false positives in medicine produce an unnecessary ''scare factor'', how the law''s ''innocent until proven guilty'' dictum applies to statistics, and how a tool like multiple regression can be used to help you forecast the margin in a game of football.

Imaging Science is the essential textbook for all undergraduate students and others training in diagnostic radiography, providing unique integrated coverage of physics, photography and equipment. Imaging Science shows the reader the principles of achieving maximum diagnostic image quality while minimising the potentially harmful effects of exposure to ionising radiation. The first five chapters explain X-ray imaging, from conventional procedures through to computed tomography (CT). Then, three chapters cover the imaging modalities based on gamma radiation (RNI), ultrasound and nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI). For readers whose previous science study has been limited, chapters 1 - 4 are accompanied by commentary notes which draw out and define key scientific terms.

Figure de l''architecture du XXe siècle, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) a réalisé certains des bâtiments les plus emblématiques de l''époque contemporaine, comme le Seagram Building, la Neue Nationalgalerie de Berlin, les appartements de Lake Shore Drive et la Farnsworth House. Mies van der Rohe au travail est un document unique sur les principes qui régissent l''architecture de Mies, la manière dont il travaillait et sa méthodologie rigoureuse en tant qu''enseignant. Cet ouvrage est l''édition française de Mies van der Rohe at work publié pour la première fois en 1974. L''auteur, Peter Carter, propose un examen approfondi des ouvrages majeurs de l''architecte, en s''appuyant sur de nombreux documents, informations techniques, photographies et dessins. Phyllis Lambert, directrice et fondatrice du Centre canadien d''architecture (CCA) et commissaire d''une exposition consacrée à l''œuvre de Mies, a rédigé l''avant-propos. Peter Carter a étudié puis travaillé avec Mies van der Rohe pendant treize ans. Il a commencé la rédaction de cet ouvrage alors qu''il était associé dans l''agence de l''architecte. Les concepts spatiaux et structuraux de Mies van der Rohe sont analysés à travers ses trois grands types de bâtiments: le bâtiment à ossature, sous sa forme élevée et sous sa forme basse, et le bâtiment à portée libre. Peter Carter examine enfin ses plus grands projets, les analysant d''abord isolément, puis dans leur contexte urbain. Mies van der Rohe apporta également une contribution essentielle à l''enseignement de l''architecture, d''abord avec le Bauhaus, au début des années trente, puis plus tard, aux Etats-Unis, en tant que directeur de l''école d''architecture et d''urbanisme de l''Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). Un chapitre est consacré à l''architecte en tant qu''enseignant et est illustré d''exemples de travaux réalisés par ses étudiants de L''IIT Enfin, la dernière partie retrace son parcours, du fils de tailleur de pierre au maître de l''architecture du XXe siècle excellant dans l''utilisation de l''acier et du verre. Le texte de Peter Carter est ponctué de témoignages de Mies van der Rohe lui-même et de ses confrères.
