This book provides a concise guide to the management of common cardiac emergencies including, in particular, the management of a full cardiorespiratory arrest. As well as dealing with cardiac arrest associated with ischemic heart disease, details are given of the management of cardiac arrest from less common causes, including asthma, pulmonary embolism, anaphylaxis and drug overdose. A chapter on pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation, written by Dr. David Zideman, is also included. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a hospital is a team task, and a description of how the team should be organized is given, together with the recommended allocation of roles to individual team members. Considerable attention is given to the practical management of acute myocardial infarction as its early recognition has become even more important with the advent of thrombolysis.

Syrian feminist activist Bouthaina Shaaban revisits Both Right and Left Handed, her widely admired book based on interviews with Lebanese, Syrian, Palestinian, and Algerian women (IUP, 1991). Arab women from varied social and economic backgrounds express a wide range of opinions on the traditions and institutions that shape their lives. Themes include the impact of war and the emancipating role of women as freedom fighters, the misinterpretation of Islamic laws and social values that underlies male-dominated institutions in Arab countries, the sacrifices of Arab women to keep the family unit together, and such previously taboo issues as lesbian relationships and premarital sex. In her new introduction, Shaaban recounts the significant progress that Arab women have made in pursuing opportunities for education and professional and political advancement during the last 20 years. Equally passionate is Shaaban's personal account of her journey from childhood in an obscure Syrian village to representing her country as a top-ranking political figure while continuing to fight for female equality.
