Book Description
Written by one of the world's most respected authorities on Tibetan breeds, Juliette Cunliffe, a British native living in Tibet, this introductory guide to the Tibetan Terrier offers a rare look into this mystical canine from Land of Snows. Unlike any other dog, the Tibetan Terrier, a member of the AKC Non-Sporting Group, is not a terrier, but rather a fun-loving companion dog prized for his snowshoed feet, his hardy constitution, and his profuse coat covering his deep brown eyes, giving him an expression that reveals his true exuberant personality. With years of experience as an international judge and owner of the Tibetan breeds, the author provides a complete historical overview of the breed in its native land, where it was regarded as a talisman of great value, as well as in the United Kingdom and the United States. The extensive coverage of the breed in America is accompanied by historical photographs of the dogs that made the most lasting impact on the breed in this country. Filled with color photographs that capture the heart and spirit of this exceptional companion breed, this Comprehensive Owner's Guide provides up-to-date and informative chapters on the breed's characteristics, puppy selection, care, house-training and positive-motivational obedience training, healthcare, and much more.

Book Description
The WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care provide health-care workers (HCWs), hospital administrators and health authorities with a thorough review of evidence on hand hygiene in health care and specific recommendations to improve practices and reduce transmission of pathogenic microorganisms to patients and HCWs.

Definitions of health-care settings are proposed in Appendix 1. These Guidelines and the associated WHO Multimodal Hand Hygiene Improvement Strategy and an Implementation Toolkit (http://www.who.int/gpsc/en/) are designed to offer health-care facilities in Member States a conceptual framework and practical tools for the application of recommendations in practice at the bedside. While ensuring consistency with the Guidelines recommendations, individual adaptation according to local regulations, settings, needs, and resources is desirable.

China's Influence and American Interests

Author: Larry Diamond
Publisher: Hoover Press
ISBN: 0817922865
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 223

Book Description
While Americans are generally aware of China's ambitions as a global economic and military superpower, few understand just how deeply and assertively that country has already sought to influence American society. As the authors of this volume write, it is time for a wake-up call. In documenting the extent of Beijing's expanding influence operations inside the United States, they aim to raise awareness of China's efforts to penetrate and sway a range of American institutions: state and local governments, academic institutions, think tanks, media, and businesses. And they highlight other aspects of the propagandistic “discourse war” waged by the Chinese government and Communist Party leaders that are less expected and more alarming, such as their view of Chinese Americans as members of a worldwide Chinese diaspora that owes undefined allegiance to the so-called Motherland.Featuring ideas and policy proposals from leading China specialists, China's Influence and American Interests argues that a successful future relationship requires a rebalancing toward greater transparency, reciprocity, and fairness. Throughout, the authors also strongly state the importance of avoiding casting aspersions on Chinese and on Chinese Americans, who constitute a vital portion of American society. But if the United States is to fare well in this increasingly adversarial relationship with China, Americans must have a far better sense of that country's ambitions and methods than they do now.
