"The Anatomy Quizbook Volume 2 contains questions and answers pertinent to the head and neck, vertebral column, and upper and lower limbs.Built on a series of carefully selected questions, AQV2 addresses core learning in clinically relevant anatomy, and provides the opportunity for both pre-med and medical students to improve their knowledge of anatomy, as well as their performance in tests and examinations.This form of self-testing has many benefits: it is proven to aid retention, it is a useful method to apply at regular intervals to ensure robust knowledge, and it is extremely useful to determine what is known before rather than after a test or exam.The previous volume (Anatomy Quizbook Volume 1) contains questions and answers applicable to anatomical terms and the thorax, abdomen and pelvis."--Publishers website.

En 1924, dans ses fameux Rois thaumaturges, Marc Bloch, entre autres choses, lança un difficile défi aux historiens que ces derniers peinent aujourd’hui encore à relever. Car si, comme le remarqua bien plus tard Jacques Le Goff, ce grand livre contient aussi « l’ébauche d’une histoire du corps », il faut prendre soin de souligner que Bloch, fidèle à sa vision du métier, concevait le corps en un sens bien particulier : non comme un objet d’histoire en soi, mais bien plutôt comme le lieu d’organisation des formes organiques, sociales et symboliques qu’il prenait pour objet de son histoire (le toucher des écrouelles), et dont le sens menaçait de demeurer incompréhensible hors d’une saisie exacte et circonstanciée des formalités historiques de la mise en jeu des corps. Le tableau de Bernard Van Orley (Un roi de France communie, 1515-1520), qui ouvrait l’ouvrage, prévenait à sa façon le lecteur : ce qui importe, à ce seul sujet, ce n’est pas le corps ; mais le corps en tant qu’il est rendu opératoire dans la scène qu’il contribue à faire exister. La distinction n’avait rien d’une broutille.

Le sang fascine. Encore aujourd’hui, il renferme une charge d’émotion et de mystère, qui trouve ses racines dans les anciens systèmes de représentation, de la fin du Moyen Age au XVIIIe siècle. L’ancienne médecine inscrit le sang dans le système des quatre humeurs et en fait un véritable «trésor de vie». Elle l’associe aux «esprits» -qui constituent l’interface entre l’âme et le corps-, au cœur, aux émotions. Le sang est également relié aux questions de genre et d’identité sexuelle. Le sang féminin ne vaut pas le sang masculin. Le sang menstruel, objet d’une véritable mythologie, est associé la souillure, au déchet et au poison. Mais le sang est aussi à la base d’un aliment aussi essentiel que symbolique, le lait, évoqué dans les discours dédiés à l’allaitement et au choix des nourrices. Le sang ne relève pas uniquement du domaine sanitaire : sa représentation convoque des notions-clés comme l’articulation entre le corps et l’âme, la définition et la transmission de l’identité. Il intervient dans la construction d’un véritable « déterminisme hématologique » -dans lequel les caractéristiques physiques et morales se transmettent par le sang-, dans des pratiques d’exclusion, mais aussi dans des discours de tolérance et de la solidarité. Cette rapide évocation des perceptions et des enjeux du sang révèle la densité et la complexité des représentations qui y sont associées. C’est cet héritage ancien, mais jamais oublié, que cet ouvrage se propose d’explorer.

This book looks at the changing continuum that links individuals, communities and society. An outline of Aspirational Algorithms (AA) and Valuable Wearables is presented as tools to shift from an AI culture to the cultivation of Augmented Humanity (AH). The human mindset that is behind the design and use of technology determines the outcomes of technology. If the intended outcome is the common good, then the preceding human aspiration must be geared toward that goal. Only technology that is conceived with the aspiration of a society that lifts individuals to fulfill their potential can be a game-changer for good. Seeing the constant interplay between the four levels of human existence soul, heart, mind, body, expressed as aspirations, emotions, thoughts and sensations, how technology may serve to systematically sway individuals from inspiration to desire, from informing to the ignition of tangible transformation. This transition is explained in the book along the scale of influence. Two convergent and mutually influencing dynamics are analyzed: first, the influence of values and aspirations on the impact of technology, and second, the influence of technology on the attitude and action of users. Both assess how hardware and software can serve a maximum of people to live a meaningful happy life. Cornelia C. Walthers experience combines practice and research. As a humanitarian practitioner she worked for UNICEF and the World Food Program (WFP) for almost 20 years, operating as the head of communication in large-scale emergencies in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. She collaborates as a coach and a researcher with the Center for Humanitarian Leadership, Deakin University, Australia, and as a lecturer with both the Fachhochschule Muenster, Germany, and the University of Law, Aix-Marseille, France. She is part of the network of humanitarian assistance, and holds a Ph.D. in Law.
