Ghosts in My House

Almost a decade and a half after crash-landing on Earth in See Otto (2002), Milgrim's lovable robot is back and thinking about returning home. "See Otto." Readers see Otto looking at a family portrait of two adult robots and one child robot. "See Otto look at his home" reveals the robot peering through a telescope. An expansive, wordless double-page spread following shows Otto looking up at the stars, the family picture clamped in one "hand," before getting to"work, work, work" in subsequent spreads. "No, Otto, no!"readers may well protest as they watch the robot hammering and welding scrapmetal into a booster-rocket backpack, and it's clear that's what his animal pals are thinking as they bid him adieu. But although Otto goes "up, up,up," with an "uh-oh," Otto goes "down, down,down"&#8212;then left and right, and then "here" (through a desert)and "there" (past some penguins), ultimately only to get"nowhere." As in the earlier installments in the Adventures of Otto, Milgrim combines very few words arranged in easy-to-decode patterns with a perfect balance of laugh-out-loud slapstick and honest emotion&#8212;here, real pathos&#8212;for a rich, complete story readers just taking baby steps toward literacy can manage. When Otto looks up from the wreckage to see his jubilant friends and realizes he's "looking at his home" and his found family,readers will feel the complexity of his emotions. Welcome back, Otto. Glad you're here to stay. (Early reader. 4-8)

“This book covers general concepts in football
injuries, football injuries by tissue type and anatomic site, and new
developments in sports medicine. … The apparent audience is sports medicine
practitioners, but the book also would be an excellent resource for residents
with an interest in sports medicine or football coverage responsibilities.” (Melody
Hrubes, Doody’s Book Reviews, November, 2015)

From the reviews:“Volume I covers set theory, the foundations of mathematics and pure mathematics … . The papers are presented in their original language together with English translation on the opposite page, each one preceded by an introductory note commenting on the historical background, motivations, accomplishments, and influence. … All in all, the volume is remarkable and a very welcome addition to the literature of collected papers in mathematics, of great interest also to philosophers, logicians, and historians of science.” (José Ferreirós, Metascience, April, 2011)“The book under review is the first volume of a complete edition of the published works of Ernst Zermelo. It includes also selected correspondence and unpublished manuscripts. The edition appears in two volumes. … papers have been published in languages in which they were originally written together with parallel English translations. They are proceded by introductory notes written by experts in the appropriate fields. Those notes are a crucial part of the edition. … The volume has been published in a beautiful and careful way.” (Roman Murawski, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1185, 2010)

Aus den Rezensionen:“… hat viele verschiedene Abbildungen, Tabellen und wirkt sinnvoll gegleiedert. ... Die Abbildungen werden gut in den Text eingefügt. ...

Januar 2015)“... Auffallend sind viele hilfreiche Tabellen, Grafiken und Zusammenfassungskästen. ... vorallem für Studenten und auch Famulanten und PJler geeignet. ... Vor allem didaktisch sehr gelungenes Buch, das vermutlich am besten für Leute die sich in der Zukunft auch einen praktischen Bezug zu Arbeitsmedizin wünschen/ vorstellen können, empfehlenswert ist.“ (in: Fachschaft Medizin Tübingen, fachschaftsmedizin.de, 18. November 2014) “... Sehr gut geschriebenes Buch das seinem Anspruch voll gerecht wird. Es ist zur Klausurvorbereitung und späterem Arbeitsleben empfehlenswert“ (in: Fachschaft Medizin Marburg, fs-medizin.de, 14. November 2014)
