<p> I sometimes despair of the country ever becoming alive to the danger of the unpreparedness of our present position until too late to prevent some fatal catastrophe. This was the keynote of a solemn warning made in the House of Lords by Earl Roberts. His lordship, whilst drawing attention to our present inadequate forces, strongly urged that action should be taken in accordance with the recommendations of the Elgin Commission that „no military system could be considered satisfactory which did not contain powers of expansion outside the limit of the regular forces of the Crown.”</p>

<p><b>The Metal Gear series is unquestionably the pantheon of the great sagas of video games.</b><br><br>The Metal Gear Saga is one of the most iconic in the video game history. It’s been 25 years now that Hideo Kojima’s masterpiece is keeping us in suspens, thanks to its complex and deep scenario. As one of the pioneer of the stealth games, Metal Gear is its author shadow and present a varied content, a rich universe, some of the most memorable characters in video games, as well as a thorough attention to details. In this book you’ll find a complete panorama of the cult saga from Hideo Kojima, exploring all its facets: genesis of every iteration and trivia from the development, study of the scenario and analysis of the gameplay mechanics and themes.<br><br><b>This essential book offers a complete panorama of Hideo Kojima's cult saga!</b><br><br>EXTRACT<br><br>"In 1987, Kojima unveiled the first installment in the Metal Gear franchise for the MSX 2. This event would define his life forever. Before continuing with the creation of this franchise, the other works of this games designer deserve some consideration. In 1988, Snatcher was released on the MSX 2 and NEC PC-8801. This adventure game, similar to the interactive graphic novel, was inspired by Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982) and the cyberpunk movement. Kojima’s interest in dense plotlines resurfaced. The game was subsequently remade for the PC Engine CD-Rom2 in 1992, and was enlivened by its use of voice acting. Snatcher was released in Europe and the United States on the Megadrive Mega-CD two years later. Its spiritual successor, Policenauts, appeared on the NEC PC-9821 in 1994, then on the PlayStation and 3DO in 1995 and the Saturn in 1996. For Hideo Kojima, Snatcher and Policenauts were major accomplishments in his career. He has retained a particular affection for these two games, so much so that they are frequently referenced in the Metal Gear series."<br><br>ABOUT THE AUTHORS<br><br><b>Nicolas Courcier and Mehdi El Kanafi</b> - Fascinated by print media since childhood, Nicolas Courcier and Mehdi El Kanafi wasted no time in launching their first magazine, Console Syndrome, in 2004.

<p>This timely guide to communication in patient-centered medicine argues for greater clarity in explaining health risks versus benefits of an array of screening tests, procedures, and drug regimens. It reviews the growing trend toward patients' involvement in their own care, particularly in terms of chronic conditions, and details approaches physicians can use to prepare patients (and themselves) for collaborative decision-making based on informed choices and clear, meaningful knowledge. Chapters apply this lens to a wide range of common interventions as contentious as estrogen replacement therapy and antibiotics, and as widely prescribed as the daily aspirin and the annual physical. With this goal in mind, the authors also introduce an innovative decision-making tool that translates risks and benefits into a clear graphic format for fewer chances of miscommunication or misunderstanding.</p> <p></p> <p>Among the topics covered:</p> <p></p> <ul> <li>Involving the patient in decision making.</li> <li>Towards a universal decision aid.</li> <li>BRCT: the Benefit/Risk Characterization Theater.</li> <li>Breast Cancer Screening—Mammograms.</li> <li>Prostate Cancer Screening.</li> <li>Colon cancer screening with colonoscopy.</li> <li>Screening for and treating dementia.</li> <li>Statins, cholesterol, and coronary heart disease.</li> </ul> <p></p> <p>Physicians in family and internal medicine will find <i>Interpreting Health Benefits and Risks: A Practical Guide to Facilitate Doctor- Patient Communication</i> a valuable resource for communicating with patients and new possibilities for working toward their better health and health education.</p> <p></p> <p><i>This book considers several common and important situations where faulty decision-making makes overtreatment a serious risk. Clear, fair, referenced, and useful information is provided. And a powerful intuitive technique is introduced which allows patient and doctor to talk as equals as they work together in the exam room. The authors emphasize that some patients who have been fully educated will still accept high risks of harm for a small chance of avoiding premature death. But as this book is accepted and its ideas and technique are extended, I feel sure that net harm to patients will be curtailed. And what is more, the integrity of the decision-making process will be improved.</i></p> <p>—Thomas Finucane, MD, Professor of Medicine, Division of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine</p>

Seit 30 Jahren ist der Gangway e. V. auf den Straßen Berlins unterwegs und macht dort "Straßensozialarbeit" mit jugendlichen (und seit einigen Jahren auch erwachsenen) Menschen. Aber was bedeutet das eigentlich? Wie sieht unser Arbeitsfeld aus und welchen Prinzipien folgen wir? Aus Erfahrung lässt sich das am besten veranschaulichen durch Geschichten und Anekdoten aus unserem Arbeitsalltag, die es nun in Form einer Graphic Novel gebündelt in einem Band gibt. Die Illustratorin Anne Zimmermann begleitete dafür viele Kolleginnen und Kollegen in verschiedenen Stadtteilen, tauchte ein in ihre Erinnerungen und konnte theoretische Grundsätze aus dem Feld Streetwork ganz praktisch erfahren. Was bedeuten zum Beispiel Niedrigschwelligkeit oder Kontinuität und wie lassen sich diese abstrakten Begriffe in Bildsprache übersetzen? Wie fühlt sich der Gang zu Berliner Behörden für unsere Jugendlichen und uns an? Oder was für Skills muss jemand für die Soziale Arbeit auf der Straße mitbringen? All das und mehr findet Anne Zimmermann heraus und lässt die Lesenden daran teilhaben. Oft zum Nachdenken, manchmal auch zum Lachen und vor allem sehr authentisch und nah dran bietet das entstandene Werk einen runden Einblick in die Straßensozialarbeit – ganz egal, ob schon Vorwissen besteht oder nicht, ob Lesende selbst im Streetwork arbeiten möchten oder einfach nur interessiert sind.
