The ocean is vast and powerful, and many people enjoy sailing, fishing, and more on the open waters. But spending time on the ocean has potentially deadly risks. This title examines the experiences of people who have faced death in the ocean and survived. Readers will learn about the unique features and dangers of the ocean and discover how to prepare for and stay safe on an ocean adventure. Features include a glossary, references, websites, source notes, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Essential Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.

Published each year since 1959, The Military Balance is an indispensable reference to the capabilities of armed forces across the globe. It is used by academia, the media, armed forces, the private sector and government. It is an open-source assessment of the military forces and equipment inventories of 171 countries, with accompanying defence economics and procurement data. Alongside detailed country data, The Military Balance assesses important defence issues, by region, as well as key global trends, such as in defence technology and equipment modernisation. This analysis is accompanied by full-colour graphics, including maps and illustrations. With extensive explanatory notes and reference information, The Military Balance is as straightforward to use as it is extensive. The 2022 edition is accompanied by a fullcolour wall chart illustrating security dynamics in the Arctic.

A fully updated new edition of the only text solely focused on anesthesia of dogs and cats with co-existing disease The revised Second Edition of Canine and Feline Anesthesia and Co-Existing Disease expands and updates the only book solely dedicated to practical anesthetic techniques for dogs and cats with co-existing disease. The book now includes additional images in full color, new discussions of cutting-edge drugs and techniques, and updated chapters and information throughout. This text provides in-depth and clinically-useful information that can easily be incorporated into the progressive companion animal practice. It offers more than 200 new images and 4 new chapters focusing on urogenital concerns, genetic diseases, nociceptive disorders, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation and post-resuscitation care. It is intuitively organized by body system to allow for quick and easy reference. Key features: Presents concise, yet comprehensive anesthetic considerations and management plans for dogs and cats with co-existing disease and patients with altered physiology Explores commonly-encountered disease processes and their anesthetic management, including cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, neurologic, endocrine, and hepatic diseases, among others Highlights important physiologic alterations encountered in neonatal, pregnant, and geriatric patients and their implications for anesthetic management Includes access to a companion website with relevant clinical videos at www.wiley.com/go/johnson/canine Canine and Feline Anesthesia and Co-Existing Disease is a must-have reference for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and veterinary students seeking a one-stop resource for anesthetic techniques in veterinary patients with co-existing disease and/or altered physiology.

Scientific research on cold-adapted microorganisms (specifically polar microbes) is of great interest, since Arctic and Antarctic regions harbor diverse and active populations of microorganisms. However, these microorganisms are subject to impacts of environmental perturbations. For example, climate change will modulate the distribution and activity of many cyanobacteria and algal species in polar environments that contribute significantly to global carbon fixation and oxygen production. Moreover, many microorganisms that have remained frozen for thousands of years can revive their metabolic activity and re-join the modern microbial community. For survival in freezing environments, polar microorganisms have established specific regulatory mechanisms which are now being challenged by new, rapidly changing environmental conditions. Remarkable progress has been made to uncover microbial adaptation to anthropogenic activities such as high irradiance, nutritional deprivation, UV-B radiation, heat, cold, desiccation, and heavy metals. Studies have enabled a basic understanding of gene regulatory pathways for morphological, physiological, metabolic, and genetic adaptations to various environmental stresses. To further elucidate physiological adaptation mechanisms and molecular diversity in polar regions, this Research Topic is focused on microbes in polar regions, looking at their biodiversity, ecological adaptations, the impact of climate change on their lifestyles, and biotechnological application of microbes for a sustainable future.
