Content: Over 450,000 individuals in the United States have multiple sclerosis. A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis poses potential concerns related to all aspects of life and plans for the future. One of the first responses is usually an active search for information about the disease itself and its potential long-term effects.What Nurses Know . . . Multiple Sclerosisanswers all of those questions and more. Carol Saunders has been an MS nurse and educator for over 25 years, and throughout all of it, she has learned what people need to know and how effectively to communicate it. With education and proper care, most people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis will lead full and productive lives. Special features include numerous sidebars and call-out boxes with "Nurse Notes," as well as definitions of common terms. Also included are resources, online tools, lists of support groups, and specific websites to help those living with MS.

Content: In the course of the twentieth century, no war looms as profoundly transformative or as destructive as World War II. Its global scope and human toll reveal the true face of modern, industrialized warfare. Now, for the first time, we have a comprehensive, single-volume account of how and why this global conflict evolved as it did. A War To Be Won is a unique and powerful operational history of the Second World War that tells the full story of battle on land, on sea, and in the air. Williamson Murray and Allan R. Millett analyze the operations and tactics that defined the conduct of the war in both the European and Pacific Theaters. Moving between the war room and the battlefield, we see how strategies were crafted and revised, and how the multitudes of combat troops struggled to discharge their orders. The authors present incisive portraits of the military leaders, on both sides of the struggle, demonstrating the ambiguities they faced, the opportunities they took, and those they missed. Throughout, we see the relationship between the actual operations of the war and their political and moral implications. A War To Be Won is the culmination of decades of research by two of America's premier military historians. It avoids a celebratory view of the war but preserves a profound respect for the problems the Allies faced and overcame as well as a realistic assessment of the Axis accomplishments and failures. It is the essential military history of World War II-from the Sino-Japanese War in 1937 to the surrender of Japan in 1945-for students, scholars, and general readers alike.
