Abstract

An important part of the New Deal, the Modernization Credit Plan helped transform urban business districts and small-town commercial strips across 1930's America, but it has since been almost completely forgotten. In Modernizing Main Street, Gabrielle Esperdy uncovers the cultural history of the hundreds of thousands of modernized storefronts that resulted from the little-known federal provision that made billions of dollars available to shop owners who wanted to update their facades. Esperdy argues that these updated storefronts served a range of complex purposes, such as stimulating public consumption, extending the New Deal's influence, reviving a stagnant construction industry, and introducing European modernist design to the everyday landscape. She goes on to show that these diverse roles are inseparable, woven together not only by the crisis of the Depression, but also by the pressures of bourgeoning consumerism. As the decade's two major cultural forces, Esperdy concludes, consumerism and the Depression transformed the storefront from a seemingly insignificant element of the built environment into a potent site for the physical and rhetorical staging of recovery and progress.

Abstract

Atlas of Staging in Gynecological Cancer gives a practical approach to the topic and is designed to be used in conjunction with diagnostic procedures between the surgeon and the radiologist. This book describes the two common staging regimes used by all units across the world, namely, the FIGO and TNM systems. The landscape format allows each chapter to open on the left hand side and read across the double page, enabling the reader to see FIGO and AJCC staging together at the same time. Each chapter also has a separate section on Epidemiology, Diagnosis, Management, and a Summary section highlighting key points. The content of Atlas of Staging in Gynecological Cancer takes the reader through each gynecological cancer with a short text accompanying clear radiographic images with explanatory legends. Staging is also shown in pictorial form to aid clarity, with many tables further explaining suggested approach and workflow. The book will be of particular interest to the multi-disciplinary team that looks after this group of patients namely, clinical and radiation oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, radiologists and specialist nurses, all with their respective trainees.
