本書簡介

Carnivores beware! Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson is out for blood as he attacks the rationalizations people cling to in order to justify their continued consumption of meat. By emphasizing the fact that every piece of beef, pork or poultry we consume once had parents and a personality (or animality?), Masson hopes to force people to admit that decisions about their diets should be based not only on health, but also on ethics. He documents some of the more brutal practices in industrial food production, alongside scientific evidence that the pigs, calves, and chickens who are the victims of this cruelty definitively demonstrate emotional response and awareness of the torture they are enduring. One of the more intriguing (and stomach-churning) arguments Masson makes against meat consumption is the fact that animals react chemically to the stress of their impending slaughter, meaning that the steak on your plate is full of the hormonal equivalent of fear and distress.

本書簡介

For the first time, this book addresses many of the issues that are fundamental to an understanding of the real role of recreational hunting in conservation and rural development. It examines the key issues, asks the difficult questions, and seeks to present the answers to guide policy. Where the answers are not available, it highlights gaps in our knowledge and lays out the research agenda for the next decade.

本書簡介

Urban sidewalks, critical but undervalued public spaces, have been sites for political demonstrations and urban greening, promenades for the wealthy and the well-dressed, and shelterless shelters for the homeless. On sidewalks, decade after decade, urbanites have socialized, paraded and played, sold their wares, and observed city life. These uses often overlap and conflict, and urban residents and planners try to include some and exclude others. In this first book-length analysis of the sidewalk as a distinct public space, Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris and Renia Ehrenfeucht examine the evolution of the American urban sidewalk and trace conflicts that have arisen over its competing uses. They discuss the characteristics of sidewalks as small urban public spaces, and such related issues as the ambiguous boundaries of their ‘public’ status, contestation around specific uses, control and regulations, and the implications for First Amendment speech and assembly rights. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples as well as case study research and archival data from five cities - Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and Seattle - the authors focus on how the functions and meanings of street activities have shifted and have been negotiated through controls and interventions. They consider sidewalk uses that include the display of individual and group identities (in ethnic and pride parades, for example), the everyday politics of sidewalk access, and larger political actions (including Seattle’s 1999 antiglobalization protests), and examine the complex regulatory frameworks that manage street and sidewalk life. The role of urban sidewalks in the early twenty-first century depends, the authors conclude, on what we want from sidewalk life and how we balance competing interests. Top page

【作者序】

食品營養概論」在營養課程的定位是認識營養科學原理的起點，在應用方面可作為現代國民的基礎營養知識，是主修營養者的初階，或非主修者的入門通識。本書的目標是增進讀者對食物營養與健康飲食的了解，在面對琳瑯滿目的營養保健資訊和產品時，為讀者提供一個獨立判斷的參考點，也可作為吸收新知的基礎。
飲食是古老的藝術，營養是年輕的科學(1770~ 迄今)。關於營養素種類和作用的基礎知識相當恒定，但是作為一門應用科學，連結到現代生活，加上週邊相關的科技突飛猛進，都為營養科學的應用注入許多新的觀念和契機。舉例而言，食品化學對植化素(phytochemicals)的分析應用，食品微生物對益生菌(probiotics)與益生素(prebiotics)的基礎和應用研究，分子生物學對基因調節的深入了解，人類基因體計畫的成果，各種體學(omics)技術累積龐大的生物資訊等等。這些先進領域的成果都會融入飲食營養與疾病預防的應用，因此營養學有幸扮演生物科技與健康生活的橋樑。
第一版《食品營養概論》在2004年成書，並且得到許多讀者的正面響，對我而言是個意外的驚喜。不過每一本教科書都要面對一個不能逃避的挑戰－更新修訂。美國的營養學課本修訂的步伐越來越快，反映出這個領域的知識不斷地進步，其應用也快速落實。我也期許自己能善盡教科書作者的修訂責任。
作者面對的最大挑戰是如何在不變的基礎營養中，注入新的思維和資料；期望用相同的顏料和色彩，描繪新的景緻，來吸引讀者的眼光，看出充滿新意的保健遠景。營養科學的兩大基礎是生化學和生理學，因為健康是營養素的生化代謝與人體生理功能的完美配合，所以本書的章節架構以「生理功能作經，營養素作維」；這個架構是台大黃青真教授、林璧鳳教授與我開授營養概論通識課程時長期沿用的課綱，現在大膽地與讀者分享，期望有耳目一新的效益。
促成本版順利修訂並付梓的動力，我想引用一位書店前輩提出的「撞球得分」模式。撞球的規則是由母球撞擊子球，讓子球落袋以得分。我這顆子球得以落袋，衷心感謝許多寶貴的觸點：黃伯超教授和他持續修訂《營養學精要》，台大生命科學院羅竹芳院長盡心盡力兼顧專業研究與通識課程，恩師孫寶年教授以成長和蛻變以身作則精益求精，都是我最尊敬並且用心學習的典範；董氏基金會與朱英龍董事因為關心國人健康，不斷地垂詢各種有益健康的飲食策略，賦予我一份使命；台大通識課程的多位同仁，汪群從教授、張文亮教授、楊申語教授、吳煌榮教授、陳琪芳教授、楊雯如副教授等，他們的熱誠肯定是我維持熱心的最佳催化劑；臺大醫院營養部鄭金寶主任、馬偕醫院營養課趙強前課長、署立新竹醫院營養室唐威莉主任等不吝推薦拙作供營養師之參考；衛生署食品處林雪蓉處長曾經提起，我的第一版書讀來順暢沒有招引瞌睡蟲，給了作者一劑強心針；張小曼博士、許瑞芬教授、駱菲莉教授等諸位從事營養教育的好友，分享她們的教學靈感和技巧，幫助我跳脫身為資深教師的盲點；還有黃惠玲助理教授、劉奕方助理教授、趙哲毅助理教授等諸位耕耘營養的青年園丁，藉由提供有系統的本土教材，讓教學準備豐富輕省，是我對他們默默的祝福；在經濟風暴之際，時新出版社與淑娟社長仍然求變求新督促作者，這絕對是關鍵性的一擊。
最後，我祝福每一位使用本書的教師、學生、讀者，今日耕耘飲食營養，必能時時收穫健康。

書評：
This comprehensive reference details both the medical and surgical management of complex revision sinus surgery patients in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods. The book aims to be a comprehensive source of information on all aspects of revision sinus surgery patient management. As the first book dedicated to this rapidly growing topic, it is a welcome and necessary contribution. With chapters ranging from radiology to the role of allergy and CSF leak management, the book provides a truly exhaustive and accessible source of information. Written for a general otolaryngology audience, the book is useful for skill levels ranging from the junior resident to the advanced sinus surgeon. The book not only provides a comprehensive discussion of surgical techniques ranging from revision dacryocystorhinostomy to CSF leaks, it also discusses the science behind preoperative and postoperative medical management. With 274 figures and 41 tables in 346 pages, almost every page has color illustration. The figures are of excellent quality and include relevant endoscopic photos and CT scan pictures. The book excels with clarity, organization, and presentation. Each chapter begins with a core message highlighting the learning points of the chapter as well as a chapter outline. Color headings, subheadings, and page tabs create an organizational structure that is not only esthetically pleasing, but also translates into easy reading and text navigation. This is an essential reference for surgeons caring for advanced and revision sinus surgery patients. In contrast to other books in the field of sinus surgery that focus on one aspect of surgery or medical management, this single reference contains the input from the field’s experts on comprehensive revision sinus surgery patients.

內容簡介：
Editors Felder (pathology, U. of Virginia), Alwan (director of the Center for Aging Services Technology) and Zhang (biomedical engineering, U. of Tennessee, Knoxville) present this guide to medical automation, underlining the need for additional engineering research in this emerging field. This volume explains how computer software and data warehouses are replacing traditional medical record storage methods at a rapid pace, and that modern technologies have become standard for scheduling health care staffing and services, maintaining lean and profitable operations and even solving difficult diagnostic issues. Professionals in all types of health care environments such as hospitals, pharmacies and billing offices can employ much of this information to reduce operating costs while increasing responsiveness to patient care.

內容簡介：
These relatively new technologies have raised the bar for dental and oral/facial surgery practice, in part because so many osseointegration and dental implant procedures can produce spectacular results. However, as the contributors explain, procedures can fail just as spectacularly and practitioners must be prepared to repair those failures. Although the contributors call this a monograph the range is comprehensive, addressing such topics as realistic treatment outcomes, local and systemic health considerations, materials designs, related diagnostic imaging, soft tissue aesthetic considerations, prosthodontic, osseointegration failure and means of care, and future directions. Contributors also consider the effects of co-morbidity, including other trauma and infection, case planning, and even administration of the surgery and front office. The information on materials is especially thorough and the clinical photographs, line drawings and medical imagery are superior.
