By adhering to these standardized protocols, mammographers can improve the accuracy of their diagnoses and reduce the risk of missed malignancies. The textbook is meticulously structured to serve both novice and experienced mammographers. It begins with foundational concepts, such as the importance of comparing current imaging with previous studies to identify new densities. It then progresses to more advanced topics, including the differentiation between benign and malignant conditions. The detailed descriptions of imaging criteria for benign conditions, such as being oval, well-rounded, well-encapsulated, large, bilateral, and unchanged from prior imaging, provide mammographers with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about patient care. Intended primarily for mammographers, this textbook serves as a valuable resource for medical students, technologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in breast imaging. By providing a comprehensive guide to breast imaging, it addresses a critical gap in the field. The clear, structured content ensures that readers can apply the latest imaging techniques and criteria to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. In summary, the aims and objectives of creating this mammography textbook are to provide a unique, structured resource for mammographers, ensuring they have the tools and knowledge necessary to enhance their practice and improve patient care.

Movement and Identity
This trauma-informed approach to counselling and bodywork explores the ways in which varying facets of identity and culture manifest in the body, allowing a much more nuanced, person-centred approach to client care. Marcia Bonato Warren, MA, MA, LPC describes how our bodies interpret our identities, often informed by cultural norms, communication styles, trauma, and systems of power and oppression. Therapists and bodyworkers reading this book will have the opportunity to engage personally and professionally, learning to build on their own somatic awareness in order to engage with compassionate curiosity rather than resistance when confronted with identity-based differences. Each section uses the SIA Loop, a mechanism representing three entry-points we use to process information: Sensation, Interpretation, Action, which supports the deeper work offered by the Identity Expression Infinity Loop, where identities are invited to move with strength and skill. These pioneering tools allow readers to examine their own somatic experiences, beliefs, behaviours, and choices, all of which is supplemented with journal prompts and questions. In guiding readers in how to interpret the body's expression of identity, this unique guide maximises the potential of therapists to foster change, increase empathy, and nurture connection through trauma-informed, somatically aware bodywork.
Healing Through Working
From the foreword: "It appears that many clients first need to become physically stronger and healthier before being able to handle the psychological processes of change. One important aspect in the vision of the treatment is the accent that is placed on 'doing.' Living and working together in a community where more emphasis is placed on the healthy, rather than the ill aspect of the human being is central to the therapy as conceived by these therapeutic communities for persons with psychiatric problems."

What Radiology Residents Need to Know: Abdominal Radiology
This book provides first year radiology residents an easy to digest, image rich book with key information necessary to learn and succeed on their first abdominal rotations. Current generation learners prefer just in time learning of high impact material, presented in small, quick to assimilate formats. This book is not intended to provide an exhaustive overview of abdominal pathology; rather, it serves to provide foundational knowledge and approaches to imaging of common diseases. Each chapter focuses on an organ system and covers commonly encountered diseases or disorders. Each topic discusses the imaging findings on different imaging modalities, allowing the leaner to see how the same disease process will appear on each modality. This is of benefit even if the trainee has not yet rotated through that modality as it will allow them to build knowledge that can then be more critically applied as they reread the information on that disorder when they rotate on thatmodality. This is an ideal guide for all first-year radiology residents.
