Denny LeVett grew up the proverbial farm boy in Iowa, but that didn't last long. In his first seventy-plus years, he has lived an extraordinary life as a student storming Europe, an entrepreneur, a successful real estate developer, hotelier, collector of classic cars and Paterson Colts, a pilot, a friend, and a raconteur extraordinaire.
The only official, authorized book of Denny LeVett's life story. Who is Denny LeVett? As at home in the plains of Iowa, as in the fairytale cottages of the idyllic Carmel-by-the-Sea, Denny LeVett is a true Renaissance man in every sense of the word. A groundbreaking real estate maven, comedian, pilot, antiquarian, philanthropist, trusted political advisor, and so much more, Denny LeVett is a man who has spent a lifetime following his passions. Early signs of the burgeoning businessman first surfaced as a youth in Iowa Falls when he earned his own money mowing lawns, washing cars, and buying and selling his collection of guns. "My grandfather taught me never to act like I had more than $25 in my pocket," he says. A trip to Europe as a college student awakened him to the rich architectural beauty of the centuries old buildings. One might say that the seeds had been planted when at 21 years of age, he began purchasing properties of old-world charm in the up-and-coming Palo Alto, California, the birthplace of Silicon Valley. "Being in an area like this, when it was first taking off, was the luckiest thing that ever happened to me," says Denny. His real estate holdings would soon expand to residential units and boutique inns in the storybook village of Carmel-by-the-Sea; and to a partnership with the legendary actress, Doris Day, in the elegant and dog-friendly Cypress Inn. A lifelong love of history prompted a lifelong collection of antiquities; including classic cars, toy soldiers, and Colt Paterson firearms (he owns the largest collection in the world). And an ardent passion for aviation has afforded him more flying adventures than the Wright Brothers and Jimmy Doolittle combined! Now here, in this no-holds barred, first-person narrative, Denny LeVett recounts his journey from a modest childhood in Iowa Falls, all the while speaking with startling candor about the friends, mentors, and adversaries he has met along the way. A fascinating memoir of an extraordinary life told in his own words, and in his own inimitable style. Denny LeVett is the co-creator of "The Paterson Colt Book: Featuring the Dennis A. LeVett Collection" by R.L. Wilson and Dennis A. LeVett, published in 2001.
This book is a concise manual on debriefing techniques in a clinical educational context. It presents the most popular debriefing techniques and, hence, can be used as a reference manual by educators to help them achieve their intended debriefing objectives. The overarching objective of debriefing is to promote reflection and improve patient safety awareness at an individual and a team level. This book provides clear explanations of what constitutes a valuable and effective debriefing, and presents the various approaches that can be used and how debriefing differs from feedback. It includes key recommendations on aspects that directly or indirectly impact debriefing with different populations of learners such as students or qualified healthcare professionals of various levels of seniority. This book can also be used as a survival guide for both simulation educators and clinicians during debriefings. It includes several useful sections explaining the different phases of a debriefing session, which help learners develop and consolidate their knowledge, and identify potential knowledge or performance gaps and near misses. The underlying philosophy of this book is to also promote profound respect for the trainee by using a non-offensive debriefing approach. Debriefing facilitators will appreciate the several key sentences that will help them lead and engage their learners in the various phases of expressing their emotions and analyzing their experience and actions.

Anesthesiologist, intensive care expert, and NASA adviser Kevin Fong explores how physical extremes push human limits and spawn incredible medical breakthroughs Little more than one hundred years ago, maps of the world still boasted white space: places where no human had ever trod. Within a few short decades the most hostile of the world’s environments had all been conquered. Likewise, in the twentieth century, medicine transformed human life. Doctors took what was routinely fatal and made it survivable. As modernity brought us ever more into different kinds of extremis, doctors pushed the bounds of medical advances and human endurance. Extreme exploration challenged the body in ways that only the vanguard of science could answer. Doctors, scientists, and explorers all share a defining trait: they push on in the face of grim odds. Because of their extreme exploration we not only understand our physiology better; we have also made enormous strides in the science of healing. Drawing on his own experience as an anesthesiologist, intensive care expert, and NASA adviser, Dr. Kevin Fong examines how cuttingedge medicine pushes the envelope of human survival by studying the human body’s response when tested by physical extremes. Extreme Medicine explores different limits of endurance and the lens each offers on one of the systems of the body. The challenges of Arctic exploration created opportunities for breakthroughs in open heart surgery; battlefield doctors pioneered techniques for skin grafts, heart surgery, and trauma care; underwater and outer space exploration have revolutionized our understanding of breathing, gravity, and much more. Avant-garde medicine is fundamentally changing our ideas about the nature of life and death. Through astonishing accounts of extraordinary events and pioneering medicine, Fong illustrates the sheer audacity of medical practice at extreme limits, where human life is balanced on a knife’s edge. Extreme Medicine is a gripping debut about the science of healing, but also about exploration in its broadest sense—and about how, by probing the very limits of our biology, we may ultimately return with a better appreciation of how our bodies work, of what life is, and what it means to be human.

As an academic field in its own right, the topic of border studies is experiencing a revival in university geography courses as well as in wider political commentary. Until recently, border studies in contemporary Southeast Asia appeared as an afterthought at best to the politics of interstate rivalry and national consolidation. The maps set out all agreed postcolonial lines. Meanwhile, the physical demarcation of these boundaries lagged. Large slices of territory, on land and at sea, eluded definition or delineation. That comforting ambiguity has disappeared. Both evolving technologies and price levels enable rapid resource extraction in places, and in volumes, once scarcely imaginable. The beginning of the 21st century's second decade is witnessing an intensifying diplomacy, both state-to-state and commercial, over offshore petroleum. In particular, the South China Sea has moved from being a rather arcane area of conflict studies to the status of a bellwether issue. Along with other contested areas in the western Pacific and south Asia, the problem increasingly defines China's regional relationships in Asia, and with powers outside the region, especially the United States. Yet intraregional territorial differences also hobble multilateral diplomacy to counter Chinese claims, and daily management of borders remains burdened by a lot of retrospective baggage. The contributors to this book emphasize this mix of heritage and history as the primary leitmotif for contemporary border rivalries and dynamics. Whether the region's 11 states want it or not, their bordered identity is falling into ever sharper definition, if only because of pressure from extraregional states. This book aims to provide new ways of looking at the reality and illusion of bordered Southeast Asia.
