Preface

Vascular surgery is an evolving specialty which has to embrace the current

developments in endovascular surgery while looking to future changes in
training that may encompass more of the ‘medical’ aspects of vascular dis-
ease. Nevertheless, open surgical techniques still play a large role in the
management of the vascular patient and will do so for some time to come.
The vascular surgeon needs to be a physician who can operate but who also
knows when to operate.
This book is designed to give detailed guidance on the work-up, peri-
operative management, and operative details for patients undergoing vas-
cular surgery. These details reflect the practice of the chapter authors; they
are not intended as the only possible approach, and, in many cases, there
are alternatives. The book includes both endovascular and open proce-
dures for each condition where they are available and gives advice on the
use of each. OPCS 4.7 (204) codes are included for each procedure so
that they become familiar to the surgical team in an environment where an
accurate recording of activity is becoming essential.
The book is designed primarily for the training grade doctor to carry in
their pocket on the ward, in clinic, and in the operating theatre. It is designed
for quick reference and rapid reading and will help resolve uncertainties on
the ward and prepare the trainee for their role in theatre, whether as prime
operator or as assistant. It should also be helpful to F and F2 doctors
involved in the care of vascular patients by providing background on the
disease, details of ward management, and an idea of what happens in the-
atre. The trainee vascular anaesthetist will find useful detail of anaesthetic
management but also of what is going on at the other end of the table.
Similarly, trainee interventional radiologists, vascular nurses, and vascular
technologists will all find that a broader appreciation of vascular patient
management can be obtained from this book.

Gerold, a young bell founder on his way from Italy to his home
in Bavaria encounters Gatterer, a noted bell founder of the Tyrol
and stops to work in his foundry. Thru a series of rough and
bloody incidents it is discovered that Gatterer and his workmen
are a gang of villains who plunder and murder all who travel thru
 their forest. As a result of this discovery Elizabeth, who has
passed as his daughter, is restored to the name and position of

7–13004.

Mr. Dennett writes out of the fulness of a wide experience

among the Bavili both as a private resident and as an official.
About three-quarters of the book under review deals with the
hierarchy of kings and chiefs, the laws, social organization,
marriage, birth, and death customs, psychology and philosophy
of the Bavili; the remainder of the book treats with much the
same subjects as they have been observed by the author in
Benin. Finally, there is a valuable appendix by Bishop James
Johnson on the religious beliefs and social laws of the Yoruba
people.

“The evident sincerity of the writer and his sympathetic appeal

on behalf of a better understanding of the black man must
commend him both to those whose interest in the backward
races of mankind is purely scientific and to those who desire to
understand the negro for his own sake.”
+ Ann. Am. Acad. 29: 634. My. ’07. 380w.

“Not the least interesting part of this curious book is the

Dr. Densmore’s theories are based upon the teachings of

evolution. The book teaches that women are more intuitive,
refined, unselfish and spiritual than men, but are inferior to them
in initiative, resource, power and breadth of view; that these
mental differences are not fundamental nor the result of sex but
are caused by environment and heredity. The book makes a
strong plea for extending democracy into all phases of human
life.

“Beverley Teruel, nicknamed Girlie because of his lack of
sophistication, shortly after leaving Oxford marries the girl of his
father’s choice.” (N. Y. Times.) “Beverley flies into a morbid
suspicion of the purity of his perfectly healthy passion. He seeks
solace in a platonic affection for a literary woman, finds it
difficult to exist without her, disobeys her by rushing to London
to see her, and, when severely snubbed, falls an easy victim to
the wiles of a woman of the town. During his absence Eva has
been making discoveries which impel her towards a whole-
hearted bid for her husband’s vanished affection. But it is too
late. Innocence has given place to morbidity, and everything
ends as, granting the premisses, it must end, miserably.” (Acad.)

“In ‘The strongest plume’ Mr. de Selincourt tackles in

phrase ‘goes wrong’ before her marriage.... The man to whom
she is engaged is a very ordinary, common-place prig, quite
incapable of understanding the real nature of the girl who has
given herself to him. He is perfectly ready, indeed anxious, to do
‘the right thing’ and marry her as soon as possible, but he is at
no pains to disguise his personal feeling that Joan is really a
‘fallen’ woman. She resents his attitude ... comes gradually to
the realisation that it has all been a terrible mistake. She comes
to see that she has no love for him at all, and that marriage, so
far from setting everything right, will only be an added wrong.”—

“In brief, the volume is largely a note-book of observations on
the various species of game, their habitat, appearance, size,
color, habits, and head measurements, jotted down in the curtest
and most uninteresting terms imaginable. Should any hunter of
big game anticipate a sporting pilgrimage to Africa, however,
Captain Dickinson’s book will offer him some additional
information on the rarer kinds of game in the East African
country.”—Dial.

“It is all written in a straightforward, sensible way, without any

Dickinson, Goldsworthy Lowes. From king to

 7–12876.

For this American edition the work appearing in England in

1891 has been rewritten and revised. “Aims at presenting ‘The
tragedy of the Puritan revolution’ in a series of dramatic scenes
or dialogues. ‘The pages that follow,’ writes Mr. Dickinson in his
reprinted preface to the first edition, ‘contain an attempt to
state, in a concrete form, certain universal aspects of a particular
period of history. The tragedy lies in a conflict of reforming
energy with actual men and institutions; and it has been the
object of the author to delineate vividly the characters of leading
actors in the struggle, their ideals and the distortion of these, as
reflected in the current of events.’” (N. Y. Times.)

“All criticism of the work must return to the question of the

success of the dramatic dialogue as an essay form. On the
whole, one finds himself inclined to decide that the experiment is
successful; for the dialogue has enabled our author to realize his
hope of effectively setting forth the clash of the individual with a
movement. And yet there is a little reserve about one’s
commendation of the book as a whole. In the first place, it can
appeal only to a much narrower circle than most of Mr.
Dickinson’s other productions. In the second place, there are
occasional suggestions of the cold literary exercise.” F. B. R.
