Book excerpt: "The success of the first edition of this volume has been very gratifying to see. In my travels, I have met literally hundreds of students, nurses, physicians assistants, and physicians who have told me that they had read The Little GI Book and how much it helped them learn the fundamentals of gastroenterology and hepatology. In the years since The Little GI Book was published, much has changed in the world of gastroenterology and hepatology. This can be seen both with regard to diagnosis and treatment of many gastrointestinal disorders. The following are just a few examples: Hepatitis C is, for all intents and purposes, curable at the time of this writing. The use and role of biologics and biosimilars to treat inflammatory bowel disease have exploded. The development of transluminal stents has given rise to a whole new class of endoscopic procedures that were previously unimaginable. Endoscopic submucosal techniques have allowed endoscopic submucosal dissection, peroral endoscopic myomectomy, and gastric peroral endoscopic myomectomy to become commonplace at many institutions. Advances like these, and many others, spurred me to produce a second edition of The Little GI Book. As I have gone through each of the chapters, I have added information on new diseases, new medications, and new procedures. Many new images have been added for this edition. I have also removed out-of-date material as well. In contrast to the first edition, all of the endoscopic images in this volume are now in color, which should make them even more useful. As with the first edition, I wrote this book with the broadest readership possible in mind. I know that, for many readers, this will be the first book on gastroenterology and hepatology they ever read, so I want to keep the tone and tenor of the book as accessible as possible. I hope that you find reading this book as enjoyable as I found writing it!"--

Download or read book G.I. Messiahs written by Jonathan H. Ebel and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Ebel has long been interested in how religion helps individuals and communities render meaningful the traumatic experiences of violence and war. In this new work, he examines cases from the Great War to the present day and argues that our notions of what it means to be an American soldier are not just strongly religious, but strongly Christian. Drawing on a vast array of sources, he further reveals the effects of soldier veneration on the men and women so often cast as heroes. Imagined as the embodiments of American ideals, described as redeemers of the nation, adored as the ones willing to suffer and die that we, the nation, may live—soldiers have often lived in subtle but significant tension with civil religious expectations of them. With chapters on prominent soldiers past and present, Ebel recovers and re-narrates the stories of the common American men and women that live and die at both the center and edges of public consciousness.

Download or read book GI Jews written by Deborah Dash Moore and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2004-11-11 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether they came from Sioux Falls or the Bronx, over half a million Jews entered the U.S. armed forces during the Second World War. Uprooted from their working- and middle-class neighborhoods, they joined every branch of the military and saw action on all fronts. Deborah Dash Moore offers an unprecedented view of the struggles these GI Jews faced, having to battle not only the enemy but also the prejudices of their fellow soldiers. Through memoirs, oral histories, and letters, Moore charts the lives of fifteen young Jewish men as they faced military service and tried to make sense of its demands. From confronting pork chops to enduring front-line combat, from the temporary solace of Jewish worship to harrowing encounters with death camp survivors, we come to understand how these soldiers wrestled with what it meant to be an American and a Jew. Moore shows how military service in World War II transformed this generation of Jews, reshaping Jewish life in America and abroad. These men challenged perceptions of Jews as simply victims of the war, and encouraged Jews throughout the diaspora to fight for what was right. At the same time, service strengthened Jews' identification with American democratic ideals, even as it confirmed the importance of their Jewish identity. GI Jews is a powerful, intimate portrayal of the costs of a conflict that was at once physical, emotional, and spiritual, as well as its profound consequences for these hitherto overlooked members of the "greatest generation."
