Although we now know that ontogeny (individual development) does not actually recapitulate phylogeny (evolutionary transformation), contrary to Ernst Haeckel's famous dictum, the relationship between embryological development and evolution remains the subject of intense scientific interest. In the 1990s a new field, evolutionary developmental biology (or Evo-Devo), was hailed as the synthesis of developmental and evolutionary biology. In From Embryology to Evo-Devo, historians, philosophers, sociologists, and biologists offer diverse perspectives on the history of efforts to understand the links between development and evolution.

The scope of dental practice has evolved enormously since the era of the barber surgeon. Oral surgery remains, however, not only a traditional skill in dentistry but also a core skill for all dental surgeons regardless of their area of specialism, and therefore it is an important part of the undergraduate curriculum and general professional training. Over the years, as the medical status of the population has become more complex and surgical expertise has increased, oral surgery has evolved into identified subspecialties. These include maxillofacial surgery, which, in the UK, is a specialty of medicine; oral surgery, which embraces maxillofacial trauma and orthognathic surgery; and dentoalveolar surgery, which is designated surgical dentistry by the General Dental Council in the UK. The first two - maxillofacial surgery and oral surgery - are the remit of specialists, whereas all dentists are expected to be competent in dentoalveolar surgery. A sound knowledge of basic surgical principles is a prerequisite to the practice of any of these areas of surgery.

The practice of general and trauma surgery frequently involves a broad range of emergency situations. Surgeons must be familiar with diagnosis and operative management principles in the fast-paced environment of the emergency setting. Acute Care Surgery: Principles and Practice comprehensively presents the full spectrum of surgical emergencies, including trauma and non-traumatic acute surgical diseases of the abdominal, pelvic, and cardiothoracic organs as well as the extremities, skin and soft tissue, and head and neck. Management of surgical infections is also discussed. Edited by an internationally renowned trio of experts, Acute Care Surgery is the ideal reference text for surgical trainees as well as practicing surgeons. Authoritative, comprehensive, and user- friendly, the text features over 40 chapters complete with case studies as well as question and answer commentaries. Every chapter begins with a box highlighting the key points and current areas of controversy. In addition to clinically focused discussions on surgical emergencies in all the major organ systems, the editors include chapters on basic principles of initial assessment and early resuscitation, anesthesia and emergency surgery, the intensive care unit, pharmacology and pharmacokinetics in the emergency setting, and management of the hemodynamically labile patient. In addition, a timely section on ethics and legal issues discusses the challenges of providing care in the emergency setting with chapters on advanced directives, informed consents, and organ procurement. The text is augmented by more than 500 tables and illustrations. emergency surgery is destined to be the gold-standard reference for surgeons faced with split-second decision making in the acute setting.

This 59th volume of the series Advances in Oto-Rhino-Laryngology is dedicated to the evolving area of inner ear pharmacology. Sudden hearing loss, progressive hearing loss, presbycusis, noise trauma, Ménière’s disease, ototoxicity and tinnitus are examples of inner ear disorders that often cannot be treated sufficiently. Although a wide range of interesting new concepts in basic research on inner ear physiology, pathophysiology and therapy have been published over the last years, only few have been adapted to the medical management of inner ear diseases. This might be due to a still deficient exchange between experts in basic research and clinicians in the field of otology and inner ear diseases. The present volume is a compilation of reviews and reports dealing with all aspects of inner ear research (physiology, anatomy, neurotransmission, vascular system, differentiation, regeneration and immunology) as well as reports on experimental inner ear therapy and clinical trials on new inner ear treatment strategies. It provides an overview on recent knowledge on inner ear pharmacology by some of the experts in this field.

Uniquely integrative and authoritative, this volume explores how advances in social psychology can deepen understanding and improve treatment of clinical problems. The role of basic psychological processes in mental health and disorder is examined by leading experts in social, clinical, and counseling psychology. Chapters present cutting-edge research on self and identity, self-regulation, interpersonal processes, social cognition, and emotion. The volume identifies specific ways that social psychology concepts, findings, and research methods can inform clinical assessment and diagnosis, as well as the development of effective treatments. Compelling topics include the social psychology of help seeking, therapeutic change, and the therapist–client relationship.
