Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Easter Island is a popular exotic tourist destination, and you can find many of the modern amenities we take for granted. There's also a growing population of several thousand, mostly mainlanders. But a mere 55 years ago, Easter Island had none of these. In 1952, Darío Verdugo-Binimelis, an idealistic Chilean physician, and his wife, Adriana, pulled up stakes and brought their four young sons to Easter Island for what would become an incredible adventure and educational experience for the family. Appointed by the Chilean Ministry of Health to serve a two-year stint as the island's sole physician, Dr. Verdugo had the responsibility for the health of the island population of about eight hundred, and he also affectionately ministered to the patients isolated in the islands leper colony. Dr. Verdugo has written a lyrical memoir of culture shock melting into affection for the native "Pascuenses" and their simple, carefree culture. He reflects on the day-to-day struggles amid stunning natural beauty and on strengthened family ties and deep friendships reinforced by the profound isolation of this tiny island sitting by itself in the middle of the vast South Pacific. Life and Solitude in Easter Island adds a unique personal and family perspective to the growing body of Easter Island literature, and complements the material found in scholarly texts or in tourist guides. This is an updated English edition of the original Spanish-language memoir, Vida y Soledad en Isla de Pascua, published in Chile in 1999.

Book excerpt: The pancreas is important because of the digestive enzymes it releases to aid in your dog's digestion. When functioning normally, the pancreatic enzymes are activated when they reach the small intestine. Dog pancreatitis occurs when the digestive enzymes activate upon release, which causes inflammation and damage to not only the pancreas, but the surrounding tissue and organs.Although canine pancreatitis can occur in dogs of any breed, sex, or age, the majority of dogs who suffer from this disease are older and overweight. Breeds at increased risk for chronic pancreatitis are Boxers, Collies, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Regardless, it doesn't mean this type of dog will automatically be diagnosed with pancreatitis. It simply means pet owners will want to be extra cautious and diligent with preventative care.Pancreatitis is painful, uncomfortable, and potentially fatal for your pet. Find out what symptoms to watch out for and what can be done to prevent this medical condition from happening to your dog.
