22881Geometric methods in the elastic theory of membranes in liquid crystal phases
Contains a comprehensive description of the mechanical equilibrium and deformation of membranes as a surface problem in differential geometry. Following the pioneering work by W. Helfrich, the fluid membrane is seen as a nematic or smectic - a liquid crystal film and its elastic enegy form is deduced exactly from the curvature elastic theory of the liquid crystals. With surface variation, the minimization of the energy at the fixed osmotical pressure and surface tension gives a surface equation in geometry that involves potential interest in mathematics. This text presents the results of the investigation into the solution of the equation that have been carried out by the authors.

22888Geriatric mental health disaster and emergency preparedness
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the essential information that everyone working, or hoping to work in the field of aging, should know about disasters, emergencies, and their effects on the mental health and well-being of older persons. It provides the reader with evidence-based approaches for identifying and classifying mental health problems, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, and substance use disorders in older adults, which may occur during and post disasters/emergencies.
22889Geriatrics at your fingertips 2013 : 15th ed.
This is one of the best quick references for taking care of geriatric patients in the primary care setting. It is not too bulky and perfect size to fit in a lab coat pocket. Covers all of the major concerns for geriatric patients including many assessment tools. One of the few things I wish it did include is a Dementia assessment tool. It does however discuss the tool. Suggest it for anyone caring for geriatric patients.
22890German aces of the Russian front
Luftwaffe pilots of the Russian Front were the highest scoring aces of any aerial conflict in history. This book traces the careers of the pilots who flew the Fw 190 and the Bf 109 in the skies over Russia, and reveals how they achieved their remarkable successes. The Bf 109 was the most commonly used fighter on the Front, and saw action from Operation Barbarossa through to the Defence of the Reich in 1945. The Fw 190, meanwhile, proved itself to be arguably Germany's best piston-engined fighter, with many of its aces scoring over 100 kills.
