Facial Topography
The difference in the shapes of facial structures and their relationship to one another determines the unique and distinct appearance of each individual. This anatomic information is critical to diagnosing changes in facial topography that occur with age and in determining the best approach for augmenting and rejuvenating the aging face. Facial Topography: Clinical Anatomy of the Face provides a critical roadmap for navigating the underlying anatomy of the face. It is the first work of its type that uses cadaver dissections paired with detailed medical illustrations to depict the soft tissue surface landmarks of the face-shapes, contours, creases, and lines. This beautifully illustrated semi-atlas is packed with clinical information to help improve surgical outcomes. The book places particular emphasis on describing surface landmarks to help predict the location of deeper structures. This knowledge increases the safety of any facial procedure, because the surgeon knows the course and location of blood vessels, muscles, and nerves. The book includes advice on determining the best placement of injectables to achieve a predictable and aesthetic result and to avoid complications, and also helps surgeons understand the ideal placement of fillers for facial augmentation. In addition, the basic dissections provide essential information for all residents and practitioners operating in the face. Anatomic tenets are described that can be applied to any anatomic region and key clinical points are highlighted throughout. A supplemental DVD includes video demonstrations of dissections and other clinical applications in each anatomic area of the face.

The Age of Fentanyl
Is there a way to end North America’s opioid epidemic? In The Age of Fentanyl , Brodie Ramin tells the story of the opioid crisis, showing us the disease and cure from his perspective as an addiction doctor working on the front lines. We meet his patients, hear from other addiction experts, and learn about the science and medicine of opioid addiction and its treatments. He shows us how addiction can be prevented, how knowledge can reduce stigma, and how epidemics can be beaten. Dr. Ramin brings the hopeful message that just as patients and health care workers rallied together to fight HIV one generation ago, a coalition of patients, advocates, scientists, doctors, and nurses is once again finding solutions and making plans to stem the overdose deaths, block the spread of fentanyl, and end the epidemic.
Fentanyl, Inc.
Fentanyl, Inc. is a deeply-reported investigation into the headline-making and rapidly evolving landscape of synthetic drugs, the ways they are invented, produced, distributed, the lives they destroy, and the growing efforts to counteract their damage. Fentanyl is “the deadliest drug in America” (CDC 2018), a synthetic opioid constantly in the headlines today. It can be up to 50 times stronger than heroin; some of its analogues even stronger, and a tiny amount can overwhelm the respiratory system. Of the 70,000-plus deaths from drug overdoses in 2017, over 28,000 were caused by synthetic opioids such as fentanyl (compared to 16,000 from heroin and 15,000 from prescription opioids). All major synthetic drugs originated in legitimate laboratories for proper scientific purposes, but were hijacked by rogue chemists. This is the first book to detail how illicit fentanyl is produced. Westhoff’s revelations about China’s chemical and pharmaceutical industries are headline-making—no other American has penetrated China’s chemical industry. A Congressional subcommittee concentration on the opioid epidemic has reached out to him with a view to his presenting what he knows about China. He has also been approached to give a TEDx talk and to speak at opioid conferences. Readers of other bestsellers on the opioid crisis—Sam Quinones’s Dreamland (250,000 copies sold), Beth Macy’s Dopesick (bestseller list), Johan Hari’s classic Chasing the Scream —or of Misha Glenny’s various books, are the natural audience for Fentanyl, Inc . Where Dreamland , Dopesick , and Chasing the Scream concentrate on the drug crisis in America, Fentanyl, Inc. is both a U.S. and a global story. Westhoff first learned about the scourge of synthetic drugs as a journalist covering huge music festivals that saw a sudden rise in deaths of attendees taking drugs they thought were safe. Westhoff is an award-winning and fearless investigative journalist who has written for Rolling Stone , the Wall Street Journal , the Guardian , Village Voice , Vice , among other outlets. His most recent book, Original Gangstas , illuminated the world of West Coast rap and has sold 25,000 copies in all formats. All of his writing features vivid narratives, compelling characters, and rigorous reporting.
