Newdasses of pharmaceutical agents have been developed, tested, and used to treat millions of patients; education and early detection programs have been instituted around the world; and bone densitometry has received widespread recognition by healthcare agencies as being central to the preven tive health strategy necessary to care for an aging population. With all these advances, scientists continue to explore new methods to understand and treat this disease. The field of orthopaedic surgery has a great opportunity to bring this new information to its dinics and operating rooms.

Joan Delano Aiken MBE (4 September 1924 4 January 2004) was an English writer specializing in supernatural fiction and children's alternative history novels. Her father was the American Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Conrad Aiken (18891973). In 1999 she was awarded an MBE for her services to children's literature. For The Whispering Mountain, published by Jonathan Cape in 1968, she won the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize, a book award judged by a panel of British children's writers, and she was a commended runner-up for the Carnegie Medal from the Library Association, recognizing the year's best children's book by a British writer. She won an Edgar Allan Poe Award (1972) for Night Fall. Aiken produced more than 100 books, including more than a dozen collections of fantasy stories, plays and poems, and modern and historical novels for adults and children. Susan Obrant is an American artist, illustrator, fashion designer and costume designer. She was educated at the Parsons School of Design. In her illustrative work, she was nominated for the 1971 Grammy Award for Best Album Cover for The Music of Erik Satie: Through A Looking Glass. She has illustrated a number of books, including the American edition of Aiken's The Cuckoo Tree. Obrant has exhibited her painting widely, and has designed for film and theater. The Cuckoo Tree is a children's novel by Joan Aiken, first published in 1971. Taking place in an alternate history, the story presents the further adventures of Dido Twite, a teenage Victorian tomboy, in southern England. The novel is chronologically the fifth of the Wolves Chronicles, a series of books set in a fictional 19th century in which the Stuart kings had not been ousted by William of Orange; a key plot driver (from Black Hearts in Battersea) is the efforts of "Hanoverians" to overthrow "King James III" and his heirs. The Cuckoo Tree was published before its prequel, The Stolen Lake. 'The Cuckoo Tree' is also a sequel to 'The Whispering Mountain', with Captain Hughes of HMS 'Thrush', (the ship is also mentioned in the Felix series) eventually reunited with his son, Owen, the hero of the previous book, who takes part in the coronation, but is otherwise only briefly mentioned in 'The Cuckoo Tree'. Captain Hughes and Dido Twite are traveling by stagecoach from the port of Chichester with important dispatches for the Admiralty in London when the carriage is upset and Captain Hughes is injured. While looking for help, Dido encounters a group of men who direct her to Teagleaze Manor; the men turn out to be smugglers who use the local canal system to transport their wares to London. At Teagleaze Manor, Dido encounters several characters including Lady Tegleaze, who sends her servants and personal physician to the aid of Captain Hughes. Hughes is settled in an abandoned tenant cottage to recover, under the care of a local nurse, the unpleasant Mrs. Lubbage. Unwilling to trust the local postman and needing to get the dispatches to London, Dido goes to "the Cuckoo Tree," a local landmark used as a rendezvous by the smugglers. There she encounters Cris, a mysterious child who proves to be a key element in a plot to swindle Lady Tegleaze out of her property. However there is another plot afoot; Lady Tegleaze's lawyer, Mr. Fitzpickwick, is in league with a Hanoverian agent planning to kill the young king at his coronation. With the aid of Cris and the Wineberry smugglers, Dido must rescue Lady Tegleaze' grandson Sir Tobit and race the Hanoverian plotters to St. Paul's Cathedral, where her old friend Simon is now Master of the King's Garlandries. From a review found on-line by Rebecca Fisher: In many ways The Cuckoo Tree is quite different from the previous books in the series, despite the traditional story of the Hanoverian plot and its increasingly dubious means of putting Prince George on the throne. But the cast of characters in The Cuckoo Tree is much more vast than usual, to the point where it got difficult to keep track of them all, and certain parts were a little darker than usual, with the use of witchcraft and attempted murder. Furthermore, some ideas, such as Aswell, Tante's eventual fate, and Dido's increasing loneliness are more suited to an older audience than the light-heartedness of the former books. But for me anyway, these deeper levels only make the books more fascinating. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
