Gli Unni, popolo di cavalieri nomadi originari delle grandi steppe eurasiatiche, alla fine del IV secolo d.C. si affacciarono nelle terre a nord del Danubio, ai confini del mondo romano. Negli anni successivi, soprattutto sotto il loro re Attila, "il flagello di Dio", le scorrerie dei guerrieri unni divennero un pericolo sempre più incombente e temibile, persino per una grande potenza quale era allora l'impero romano. Solo nel 451 un'ampia coalizione formata da Romani, Visigoti, Burgundi, Franchi e da diverse altre tribù riuscì a impegnare gli Unni in una vera e propria battaglia, ai Campi Catalaunici, infliggendo ad Attila una cocente sconfitta. Da quel momento gli Unni escono dalla storia politica, per sopravvivere però nell'immaginario collettivo come l'emblema stesso dei barbari. Il volume offre una ricca sintesi di tutto quanto si sa sugli Unni: origini, tradizioni, strutture politiche, rapporti con l'impero romano, vicenda politico-militare.

This classroom-tested textbook is an introduction to probability theory, with the right balance between mathematical precision, probabilistic intuition, and concrete applications. Introduction to Probability covers the material precisely, while avoiding excessive technical details. After introducing the basic vocabulary of randomness, including events, probabilities, and random variables, the text offers the reader a first glimpse of the major theorems of the subject: the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. The important probability distributions are introduced organically as they arise from applications. The discrete and continuous sides of probability are treated together to emphasize their similarities. Intended for students with a calculus background, the text teaches not only the nuts and bolts of probability theory and how to solve specific problems, but also why the methods of solution work.

Featuring comprehensive coverage of the latest developments and technology in the field, Case-Based Interventional Neuroradiology provides a thorough review of commonly encountered neurovascular diseases, as well as detailed background information on the rationale for each treatment choice. Cases center on real life scenarios with high-quality images, and offer readers a concise, practical, and up-to-date approach to the diseases neurointerventionalists face. Each case describes the clinical presentation, the non-invasive imaging studies, and the treatment, including equipment used and a step-by-step description of the intervention. The authors then thoroughly discuss the case and provide background information on the disease, differential diagnoses, and a description of the non-invasive workup, including the physical exam and required imaging studies. A separate section in each case contains alternate treatment options -- including medical, surgical, or radiosurgical treatment options -- in order to broaden the reader's understanding of the benefits or disadvantages of treatments provided by related disciplines. Clinicians can rapidly refresh their knowledge on the success and complications rates of the different treatment options using the up-to-date literature review and a literature review featuring the latest references. Features: *72 clinical cases enhanced by over 750 high-quality radiographs cover the full range of vascular and nonvascular neurointerventional diseases * Interpretations of clinical and imaging findings help readers to fully understand the reasons for the treatment choice and the specific goals to be achieved * Presents tips on how to avoid complications, as well as how to recognize and manage complications when they occur * Examples of both successful and unsuccessful cases offer a well-rounded perspective * Readers are brought quickly up to speed with practical information on imaging findings, the physical exam, epidemiology, differential diagnoses, treatment modalities, the risks of alternate treatments, and current studies This cutting-edge compendium is an essential resource for both the beginning interventionalist and the seasoned practitioner in radiology, interventional radiology, neuroradiology, and vascular neurosurgery. Residents will find the succinct presentation of cases an invaluable learning tool.

The era of therapeutic nihilism in dementia has ended, with the emergence of agents for symptomatic treatment, those that delay the course of the disease or prevent the onset of dementia, and new methods to manage symptoms. This work collects information on new therapies, distills what is relevant and reliable, and presents it in a format that is useful to clinicians who manage and treat people with dementia. It brings together evidence on all aspects of the disease and its management, from diagnosis and therapy to social and ethical considerations.
