Paperback. Condition: New. Why are some constitutions amended more frequently than others? Studies of amendment rates have been plentiful but have not generated much theoretical or empirical consensus because the extant literature rests rest on a strong and unwarranted assumption that social capacity to navigate amendment rules is constant across space and time. By contrast, the authors of this Element argue that this social capacity varies by civic connectedness. Drawing upon previous studies that find social capital mitigates transaction costs, this Element outlines the myriad ways in which social capital helps elites, social movements, and ordinary citizens solve the collective action problems associated with constitutional reform. The authors find evidence for their theory using a variety of measures, methods, and units of analysis.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This comprehensive manual, born from the urgent need for effective treatment of war-induced fractures, presents a synthesis of the author's extensive experience in treating such injuries. The book provides a clear and concise overview of the mechanisms and varieties of gun-shot fractures, classifying them according to the nature and severity of the injury, and the complexity of the surgical intervention required. The author emphasizes the distinctive characteristics of war-induced fractures, including the greater incidence of comminution, infection, and extensive soft tissue damage, and how these factors influence both the initial treatment and the long-term recovery of patients. The book details operative techniques for treating these fractures, highlighting the importance of early intervention, meticulous wound management, and the use of appropriate surgical approaches to minimize infection and optimize healing. It also covers the management of infected fractures and bone sequestra, emphasizing the need for thorough removal of necrotic material to prevent chronic infection and facilitate healing. The author stresses the importance of mechanical treatment, particularly traction and suspension, in maintaining proper alignment and preventing complications such as joint stiffness and muscle atrophy. Various methods of traction and suspension are described, along with practical tips for their application. Overall, this book offers a valuable resource for medical professionals involved in the management of war-induced fractures, providing a comprehensive guide to the latest techniques and best practices for achieving optimal patient outcomes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Hardback. Condition: New. The complexity of ovary and fallopian tube pathology is striking, with dozens of tumor types. There is a greater appreciation now of the importance of hereditary cancer syndromes in ovarian and tubal malignancies, as two common autosomal dominant hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes include carcinomas of ovary or fallopian tube. This book is organized following the structure and terminology of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of Female Genital Tumors, 5th edition. It includes some new entities that have been described since that book's publication in 2020 and provides detailed discussion of differential diagnosis, relevant ancillary tests, and strategies to approach diagnosis. In addition, discussions of the underlying biology of these tumors, as it relates to their diagnosis, are also presented. This fascicle provides an opportunity for deeper reading and quiet reflection about the progress that has been made in our understanding of tumors of the ovary since the previous landmark edition was published in 1998, as well as a respect for the numerous challenges that remain. Free digital access available with every print purchase. See inside the book for more details.…
