The life and alarming death of acclaimed professional wrestler Chris Benoit are explored in this timely and exhaustive biography. In June 2007 Benoit committed suicide after killing his wife and son, and the media coverage surrounding this event—as well as the facts of the case and its effects on professional wrestling—are all extensively addressed. Benoit’s life prior to and during his pro wrestling career is examined, as is his significant impact on the wrestling world and widespread popularity. This close-up look at one of pro wrestling’s greatest and most lamented figures also presents the place of his tragedy in the darker side of wrestling’s history.

Der Dachverband Osteologie (DVO) hat mit seinen Konsensusleitlinien zur Osteoporose ein allgemein akzeptiertes Versorgungskonzept für die immer noch stiefmütterlich behandelte "Volkskrankheit Osteoporose" entwickelt.
Anhand von Fallbeispielen aus dem klinischen Alltag kann der Einsatz der DVO-Leitlinien systematisch geübt werden. In dieser Ergänzung werden die in dem Buch Peters/Deuss: Osteoporose - Leitliniengerechte Diagnostik und Therapie, Steinkopff, 2005, dargestellten 25 Kasuistiken im Hinblick auf die DVO-Leitlinien 2006 überarbeitet. Dadurch ist ein direkter Vergleich der diagnostischen und therapeutischen Konsequenzen nach alten und neuen Leitlinien möglich. Aus diesem Grund ist diese Aktualisierung nur in Verbindung mit dem Buch zu verwenden.

Los cursos académicos que Heidegger impartió como asistente de Husserl entre 1919 y 1923 en Friburgo han permanecido inéditos durante más de medio siglo. Su publicación hasta la fecha han aparecido todos excepto uno, ha abierto nuevas perspectivas a la investigación a las que quiere contribuir EL PRESENTE TRABAJO. La pretensión fundamental de Heidegger en sus lecciones es elaborar una ciencia de la vida considerándola como un fenómeno. Al estudio del concepto de "vida" (leben), central en todo este periodo, está dedicada la primera parte del trabajo. Por otro lado, el planteamiento general de la actividad filsófica como una hermenéutica de la vida incluye la acuñación de dos elementos fundamentales que tendrán una larga vida en las obras posteriores de Heidegger: la "indicación formal" (formale Anzeige) y la "destrucción fenomenológica" (phanomenoligische Destrktion). Dedicando una parte a cada uno de estos conceptos para estudiar con detenimiento su génesis y su evolución, hemos mostrado que su papel es esencial para comprender el proyecto de la hermenéutica fenomenológica de la facticidad.

The material is lucid and concise but also has sufficient technical depth to be useful and challenging for all students in the tertiary sector' Dr Paul Compston, Australian National University"

Offering a systematic approach to evidence-based assessment and planning for children living with trauma and family violence, this practical book shows how to assess and analyse the needs of the child, make specialist assessments where there are continuing safeguarding concerns (using the Assessment Framework) and plan effective child-centred and outcome-focused interventions. The authors analyse the impact of exposure to a climate of trauma and family violence on a child's bioneurological development and on their capacity to form attachments and to develop and reflect on relationships through childhood and adolescence into adulthood. They bring together the assessment of children in need with the evaluation of significant harm and risk, and potential for rehabilitation, and also explore the application of evidence-based approaches to intervention. This book is an essential tool for all front-line practitioners working with child protection, including social workers, child and adolescent mental health practitioners, police officers, probation workers and domestic violence organizations. It is also suitable for undergraduate, postgraduate and post-qualifying students. The titles in the "Best Practice in Working with Children" series are written for the multi-agency professionals working to promote children's welfare and protect them from harm. Each book in the series draws on current research into what works best for children, providing practical, realistic suggestions as to how practitioners in social work, health and education can work together to promote the resilience and safety of the children in their care.
