Stillwater by Sarah Anne Moore
This volume is the first truly international text to take the practitioner from the history, the physical basis, and the rationale of brachytherapy through to the techniques, the results, and the management of complications. It is also the first truly comprehensive and complete textbook of brachytherapy. The chapters on the physics of brachytherapy and the technical planning of internal and surface radiotherapy are designed to enhance the practitioner's knowledge base and capabilities in this demanding specialty field. Disease site-specific chapters cover a wide range of applications, including ocular tumors, soft tissue sarcomas, cancers of the head and neck, skin, breast, lung, esophagus, and prostate, and gynecologic and anorectal malignancies. Each chapter incorporates the American and European guidelines and the text has been written from both perspectives by many of the most noted global experts in the field. A concluding chapter is devoted to brachytherapy quality assurance.
Annie Moore C. D. (Dianne) Phillips, is Full professor of Science and Mathematics at Northwest Arkansas Community College, in Bentonville, Arkansas, where for sixteen years she has been teaching geology, honors geology, environmental geology, astronomy, physical science, and undergraduate design and technology in STEM. Before that, she was an adjunct professor and lecturer in Physics and Geology at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and Fort Smith, AR.
Her life-experience, including her roles as wife, mother, grandmother, scientist, field geologist, science communicator, mentor, and educator have provided the knowledge base for her writing of this novel. She has written and published several articles in her field of study and has participated in and supervised geology field trips for over thirty years.
A very important factor reflected in this book is her involvement in the community where she promotes social justice, women's issues, and an awareness of needed educational reform for equal status of other women in the Sciences. Her strong belief system and well-developed survival skills are expressed in the adventures and experiences of the characters of her book. Over and over again the inspiration she receives from her students reinforces her will to achieve her goals, for this inspiration is the means by which her dreams soon become her reality. Stillwater is only the first installment of this series, with more to come.
