Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Munjed's new book is once more a journey, but this time in taking him across the world on a quest to save others rather than himself. In Munjed Al Muderis's bestselling memoir Walking Free, he described his experience as a refugee fleeing Saddam Hussein's Iraq, his terrifying sea journey to Australia and the brutal mandatory detention he faced in the remote north of Western Australia. The book also detailed his early work as a pioneering orthopaedic surgeon at the cutting edge of world medicine. In Going Back, Munjed shares the extraordinary journey that his life-changing new surgical technique has taken him on. Through osseointegration, he implants titanium rods into the human skeleton and attaches robotic limbs, allowing patients genuine, effective and permanent mobility. Munjed has performed this operation on hundreds of Australian civilians, wounded British soldiers who've lost legs in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a survivor of the Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand. But nothing has been as extraordinary as his return to Iraq after eighteen years, at the invitation of the Iraqi government, to operate on soldiers, police and civilian amputees wounded in the horrific war against ISIS. These stories are both heartbreaking and full of hope, and are told from the unique perspective of a refugee returning to the place of his birth as a celebrated international surgeon. Munjed's new book is once more a journey, but this time in taking him across the world on a quest to save others rather than himself.

Paperbound. Condition: Good. Description: Figure illustrations. From the introduction: The need for understanding the regional aspects of the Cascade Range is particularly important to the USGS Geothermal Research Program. Although identified geothermal resources in the Cascade Range are modest, substantial undiscovered geothermal resources have been inferred, owing primarily to the favorable volcanic and tectonic setting but also to the high regional heat flow known to exist along the Cascade Range. As a first step in the integration of a wide spectrum of regional geological, geophysical and geochemical investigations into a comprehensive understanding, the USGS Geothermal Research Program sponsored a Conference in Monterey, California in December of 1988. The geographic scope of the conference was the Cascade Range as a whole, from Northern California through Oregon and Washington and into British Columbia. The intellectual scope was as broad and interdisciplinary as possible and was organized around three major themes. 1) Variation in tectonics, geophysical signature, and magmatism along the length of the Cascade volcanic arc. 2) Relationship of the Cascade Range to the subduction tectonics to the west and to the continental tectonics to the east. 3) Controls on the location, composition and rates of magmatism in the Cascade Range.''

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. I'm going to call this a first edition (NAP) because there are no additional printings and because, once listed, this will be the Only copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. I couldn't find any references in any year to this publication when I googled The School of Visual Arts, so this may be really unique. There are 126 pages of very interesting black and white illustrations. A dozen or so of them have accompanying text. I googled the names of each of the artists and all of them went on to have careers as illustrators. They are: Philip Stanton, Eric Dinyer, Kevin McCloskey, Gil Ashby, Julie Lieberman, Jeff Smith, Patrick Pigott, Howard Coale, Beth Bartholomew, John Ruggeri, Mickey Paraskevas, and Janelle Cromwell. The 'Guest Art Director' is Robert Weaver. You can see his statement on the front cover. It says: 'To put illustrators to work doing the thing they do best-- showing us what the world looks like-- perhaps all that is necessary is to give them enough space to move around in. Instead of defining the page as a display wall, I suggest with this issue, that the pages of the magazine constitute a single, if discontinuous surface. The fixed point of view gives way to a temporal as well as spatial composition. Just as blue paint mimics sky, so, a succession of pages replicates the obliteration of the previous moment by the present one.' The book is in very good condition. You can see the covers in the photos. They have minimal wear and are very clean. The same can be said for the interior the book. There's a very light and small bottom corner crease on the first and last couple of pages. Much of anything. Other than that I'm not seeing any creasing. I don't see any soiling at all. The pages are very clean. There are no markings. There are no attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. That covers the condition. Philip Stanton, Eric Dinyer, Kevin McCloskey, Gil Ashby, Julie Lieberman, Jeff Smith, Patrick Pigott, Howard Coale, Beth Bartholomew, John Ruggeri, Mickey Paraskevas, and Janelle Cromwell (illustrator).…
