Especially designed for chiropratic practitioners and students, though it will be used by others in medicine, this text presents analysis for all aspects of skeletal radiology, accompanied by a wealth of radiographic images. The 18 chapters describe topics that include normal skeletal anatomy and radiographic positioning, measurements in skeletal radiology, scoliosis, skeletal dysplasias, arthritic disorders, infection, and hematologic and vascular disorders. New to this edition is a chapter called "masqueraders of musculoskeletal disease," on the images of conditions and parts of the body that can mimic musculoskeletal complaints.

Twentieth-century capitalism and socialism propped each other up. Both belonged to the modern industrialized period of human history when the powerful interest groups of business and state dominated people, and Euro-American culture and power dominated the world. An emerging post-modern worldview foreshadows possibilities for a new path of progress, more deeply concerned for people and nature. Based on articles and lectures, this collection explores what this new path of progress could mean for politics, work, welfare, health, energy, the life of families and neighborhoods, the world role of today's rich countries, and other aspects of the human predicament today.
