Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book outlines the evolution of surgical techniques used for fracture management. It details how, in addition to simple manipulation and manual assistance, in the past, the aid of the pulley was invoked often to the detriment of soft tissues, which frequently increased the volume o…f shock. Anesthesia, antisepsis, and the use of the electro-static ray are described as factors that have materially changed the results of fracture management. The author discusses how today each practitioner is securing a more accurate diagnosis than of yore, and that the treatment is more simple and intelligent. The book emphasizes that a complete history of the injury and how it was received is important along with observation of normal landmarks and movements of the parts affected. The author notes that depending on the location of the fracture, advanced techniques such as operative measures under aseptic conditions may be indicated to provide a successful result. The author concludes by acknowledging that surgical judgment is critical when dealing with fractures, especially in the aged when a seemingly minor injury can induce immediate disability and untold suffering. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

It examines the teaching of language, reading, writing, spelling, grammar, and poetry from a modern perspective, with an emphasis on the importance of a solid understanding of phonetics and the use of a phonetic alph…abet.

Condition: Fine. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original grey cloth covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 9'' x 5½''. Contains [xxviii] 272 printed pages of text. This is a most important new work on Emperor Hirohito by one of Japan's leading historians, Ikuhiko Hata. Following the untimely d…eath of Marius B. Jansen (Emeritus Professor, University of Princeton) in December 2000, who had been actively collaborating with the author and translator of the original Japanese edition ("Hirohito Tenno itsutsu no ketsudan", first published in 1987 and republished in 1994), it was inevitable that there would be a delay in publication of the English edition, which is finally now available. In his extended Foreword as editor, referring to the nature of Hirohito's power, Jansen states: 'We are left with puzzles that will probably never be resolved. Clearly, as Professor Hata and others have shown, the Emperor Hirohito had immense power, but the condition of retaining it was judicious restraint in exercising it'. In offering a view on the merits of Hata's research, Jansen points to the hitherto unknown plots (in parallel but unrelated) by both the Army and Navy to preserve, and if necessary resuscitate, the imperial line in the event the victors decided to depose Hirohito. Jansen also points to the merits of Hata's particular focus on the contribution Hirohito made to Japan in its post-war relations with the United States. Jansen added substantive notes to help place the author's material in historical and historiographical perspective. The book, which is not a biography or a general history of the Showa era, focuses on five decisions taken by Emperor Hirohito, which the author considers the key turning points of his reign: these concern the 26 February 1936 insurrection of young army officers, the termination of the Pacific War, the post-war constitution, the issue of abdication and the San Francisco Peace Treaty.
