Книга Пирса Брендона и по названию, и по содержанию перекликается с эпохальным трудом Эдуарда Гиббона "История упадка и разрушения Римской империи". И это не случайно: британцы, стремясь к завоеванию мира, всегда оглядывались на Древний Рим. Они нашли ключ к обретению истинного могущества на руинах Рима. Но там же следует искать и причины падения Британской империи. Об этом и многом другом автор размышляет на страницах данной книги и рисует многоплановую картину упадка и разрушения Британской империи между 1781 и 1997 годом.

Jasper & Abby and the Great Australia Day Kerfuffle follows the adventures of the Prime Minister's pet cat and dog, as they try to avert one disaster after another during Australia Day celebrations at The Prime Minister's Residence. The Prime Minister receives many letters and emails from children asking about Jasper and Abby, and he often tells his friends, colleagues and staff stories of the antics of his family pets. Having heard these stories, Rhys Muldoon -- who has been friends with Kevin Rudd for many years -- encouraged the Prime Minister to write a children's book. The Prime Minister's wife, Therese Rein, is very committed to promoting children's literacy and the Prime Minister shares this passion. It is hoped that in writing a book for children, the Prime Minister will be able to highlight the importance of books and reading for children.

This is one of the first books to deal specifically with imaging in percutaneous musculoskeletal interventions. In the first chapter, the basic procedures and different guidance techniques are presented and discussed. Ensuing chapters describe in exhaustive detail the abilities and uses of imaging in guiding procedures ranging from biopsy and joint injection to management of pain and tumors. The third part of the book documents the different indications for vascular interventions in musculoskeletal lesions. The final chapter focuses on ultrasound-guided interventions, as they are more common and tend to be fashionable. The book is well illustrated with carefully chosen and technically excellent images. Each of the 18 chapters is written by an expert of international repute, making this book the most current and complete treatment of the subject available. It should be of great interest to interventional radiologists and also musculoskeletal and general radiologists.
