Atlas of Anatomic Reconstruction After Skin Cancer Surgery
by Terrence A. Cronin Megan M. CroninThis atlas offers comprehensive coverage of surgical reconstruction after skin cancer surgery. There are many ways to repair surgical wounds caused by the removal of skin cancer. Different considerations are often taken into account and frequently one of the most fruitful discussions when doctors gather is seeing how other surgeons repair the same wound. These differences are intriguing, often demonstrating the artistic skill involved in the technique. This atlas will offer surgical cases with each page demonstrating a logical and reproducible method of repairing a wound at a given anatomic location. Using unique 6 paneled grids for each anatomical location covered, chapters show the variety of possibilities for closure of similar wounds. Chapters will also show the work of many invited experts within dermatology and plastic surgery and include their distinct commentary and expertise. The Atlas of Anatomic Reconstruction After Skin Cancer Surgery is written for dermatologists, facial plastic surgeons, plastic surgeons and those in training programs, residencies, and fellowships. This atlas will allow ready access for surgeons to a menu for successful wound closures and would be enjoyable and educational to new and experienced surgeons alike.

Atlas of Anorectal Anomalies: Diagnostic and Operative Perspectives
by Amr Abdelhamid AbouZeid Shaimaa Abdelsattar MohammadThis volume provides an in-depth analysis of abnormal pelvic anatomy in various forms of anorectal anomalies, often with multiple associations. The anatomy of the pelvis is one of the most complex in the body, and anatomists have provided detailed descriptions of normal anatomy based on cadaver dissections. However, congenital abnormalities present a spectrum of deviations from normal, which can be difficult to perceive with surgical practice alone. The advent of cross-sectional imaging has fortunately provided a powerful tool, allowing clinicians to study these anomalies in depth and on multiple planes. This volume will be an essential tool to better understand this spectrum of alterations in a critical region of the body, thus helping pediatric surgeons make the correct planning for a solid reconstruction of the abnormality.

Atlas of Benthic Foraminifera
by Norman Macleod Ann Holbourn Andrew S. HendersonAn up-to-date atlas of an important fossil and living group, with the Natural History Museum. Deep-sea benthic foraminifera have played a central role in biostratigraphic, paleoecological, and paleoceanographical research for over a century. These single–celled marine protists are important because of their geographic ubiquity, distinction morphologies and rapid evolutionary rates, their abundance and diversity deep–sea sediments, and because of their utility as indicators of environmental conditions both at and below the sediment–water interface. In addition, stable isotopic data obtained from deep–sea benthic foraminiferal tests provide paleoceanographers with environmental information that is proving to be of major significance in studies of global climatic change. This work collects together, for the first time, new morphological descriptions, taxonomic placements, stratigraphic occurrence data, geographical distribution summaries, and palaeoecological information, along with state-of-the-art colour photomicrographs (most taken in reflected light, just as you would see them using light microscopy), of 300 common deep-sea benthic foraminifera species spanning the interval from Jurassic - Recent. This volume is intended as a reference and research resource for post-graduate students in micropalaeontology, geological professionals (stratigraphers, paleontologists, paleoecologists, palaeoceanographers), taxonomists, and evolutionary (paleo)biologists.
