In a statement immediately preceding the introduction, the publisher states clearly that this encyclopedia is quot;is intended to supplement, not replace, consultation with a physician or other healthcare professional.quot; That said, this second edition of a work first published in 2001 is an excellent resource for anyone seeking a greater understanding of cancer. Specific cancers, diagnostic procedures, treatments, and much more are discussed thoroughly and in straightforward lay language. Cancer biology, Carcinogenesis, Cancer prevention, Clinical trials, and other cancer-related topics are among the 450 or more entries presented in A-Z format. Uniform entries on specific types of cancer begin with a definition, a description, and demographic and statistical information before focusing on the detailscauses, symptoms, diagnosis (including tests and procedures), e-treatment, prognosis, patient coping, home care, prevention, and special concerns. The frank and rather clinical-sounding treatment discussion includes staging, standards, and, when appropriate, alternative therapies, anticipated side effects, and even questions for the doctor. Key terms used in the discussion are identified and explained; clinical trials are noted.

Human rights are the basic freedoms, liberties, and protections to which all persons are entitled. Human rights are not specilic to one government or religion. They do not differ in times of war or peace. Human rights are constant and inalienable rights, possessed by all people.

Secrets of Voodoo traces the development of this complex religion (in Haiti and the Americas) from its sources in the brilliant civilizations of ancient Africa. This book presents a straightforward account of the gods or loas and their function, the symbols and signs, rituals, the ceremonial calendar of Voodoo, and the procedures for performing magical rites are given. “Voodoo,” derived from words meaning “introspection” and “mystery,” is a system of belief about the formation of the world and human destiny with clear correspondences in other world religions. Rigaud makes these connections and discloses the esoteric meaning underlying Voodoo’s outward manifestations, which are often misinterpreted. Translated from the French by Robert B. Cross. Drawings and photographs by Odette Mennesson-Rigaud. Milo Rigaud was born in Port au Prince, Haiti, in 1903, where he spent the greater part of his life studying the Voodoo tradition. In Haiti he studied law, and in France ethnology, psychology, and theology. The involvement of Voodoo in the political struggle of Haitian blacks for independence was one of his main concerns.

В книге ("неофициальное" руководство пользователя) полностью описаны языки программирования С и C++. Уделено особое внимание описанию языка C++ и интегрированных средах разработки программ TURBO C++ и Visual С. Язык программирования C++ - это С, расширенный введением классов, inline-функций, перегруженных операций, перегруженных имен функций, константных типов, ссылок, операций управления свободной памятью, проверки параметров функций. Этот язык, сохранив средства ставшего общепризнанным стандартом для написания системных и прикладных программ языка С (процедурно-ориентированный язык), ввел в практику программирования возможности нового технологического подхода к разработке программного обеспечения, получившего название "объектно-ориентированное программирование".

Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), or Army of Jhangvi, is an extremist organization active in Pakistan. It allegedly has an agenda of liberation and communism. Lashhar-e-Jhangvi believes that the entire nation of Pakistan should only be comprised of a Sunni Muslim population, thus making the group a part of the overall Sunni deobandi movement.
