Global Femicide: Indigenous Women and Girls Torn from Our Midst (Anderson, Pete, Kubik, and Rucklos-Hampton)
Brenda Anderson, Shauneen Pete, Wendee Kubik, and Mary Rucklos-Hampton · University of Regina
This book underscores the common, interlocking effects of racism and sexism on Indigenous women. Family members, scholars and researchers, artists, activists and policy-makers provide their decade-long perspectives, providing testimony and evidence that sexualized and racialized violence is not only a product of historic colonization but continues to manifest in entrenched systems of colonization and global femicide. The analysis and the heart of all the authors is generously shared.

Acid-base pHysiology
Kerry Brandis · Gold Coast Hospital
A particular aim of this book is to develop the subject gradually and systematically, and to lead you to a practical structured approach to analysis of blood gas results which you can use in your clinical practice. Because of the interaction of acid-base physiology with respiratory, cardiovascular, and renal systems and substrate metabolism, in particular, a set of blood-gas results can be a very useful teaching aid.
