This engaging illustrated history, full of photographs, maps, and bird's-eye views, captures Madison's early history from its first days as a city to the Great Depression. Biographical vignettes tell the stories of early movers and shakers in the city. The volume includes many archival images of Madison that have never been published or have not been seen for a century or more.


"Every page and every illustration selection bears the stamp of Levitan's passionate and opinionated affection for his adopted hometown. Using a multitude of published and unpublished sources and the magnificent collections of photographs and illustrations available for Madison research, Levitan informs, entertains, engages, surprises, and, in some instances, will outrage. Historically informed Madison readers will have 'I never knew that' moments, and newcomers to the Madison area will be astounded to see the transformations wrought since Madison struggled into being in 1837 as a hamlet/capital. Madison historians who now refer offhandedly to Parks, Thwaites, and Mollenhoff have a new name to add to their list: Levitan."–Jack Holzhueter, historical consultant and retired editor, Wisconsin Magazine of History


2006 marks the 150th anniversary of the city of Madison.


Stuart Levitan has been a mainstay of Madison media and government since 1975. An award-winning print and broadcast journalist, he has written extensively for local and national programs on radio and television. A former county supervisor, he is the only person in Madison history to chair all three of the city's primary land use and housing committees. Since 1987, he has also been a labor mediator/arbitrator for the State of Wisconsin.




This is the 21st Volume in the series Memorial Tributes compiled by the National Academy of Engineering as a personal remembrance of the lives and outstanding achievements of its members and foreign associates. These volumes are intended to stand as an enduring record of the many contributions of engineers and engineering to the benefit of humankind. In most cases, the authors of the tributes are contemporaries or colleagues who had personal knowledge of the interests and the engineering accomplishments of the deceased. Through its members and foreign associates, the Academy carries out the responsibilities for which it was established in 1964.


Under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering was formed as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. Members are elected on the basis of significant contributions to engineering theory and practice and to the literature of engineering or on the basis of demonstrated unusual accomplishments in the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology. The National Academies share a responsibility to advise the federal government on matters of science and technology. The expertise and credibility that the National Academy of Engineering brings to that task stem directly from the abilities, interests, and achievements of our members and foreign associates, our colleagues and friends, whose special gifts we remember in this book.

While age comes with many positives, such as wisdom and experience, it also leads to an older appearance. Over time, the face loses its youthful plumpness, creating hollow areas throughout the face. If you are interested in restoring facial volume, consider injectable treatments to improve your appearance. Dr. Avron offers a range of filler options to his patients; learn more below.


Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that are designed to plump up areas of the face that appear volume-depleted, such as the cheeks and below the eyes. Filler can also be used to enhance the lips, giving them more definition and fullness. Because filler increases facial volume, it has a smoothing effect on the skin, which helps reduce the appearance of unflattering creases and lines. At Athena Plastic Surgery, Dr. Avron uses fillers that are composed of either hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite.


No downtime required: A major draw of these treatments is the fact that patients can see significant improvement in their appearance without incisions, recovery, or extensive downtime. For this reason, fillers are often the go-to for patients with important events coming up.


Convenient treatments: Getting injectable treatments can take as few as 15 minutes. Coupled with the fact that there is no recovery period, patients can get back to their favorite activities after treatment without missing a beat.


Juvderm: Juvderm is a collection of dermal fillers, each of which is designed to address a specific cosmetic concern. This popular filler option is made up of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. Depending on your choice, Juvderm fillers can add volume to the area under the eyes, smooth deep facial lines near the mouth, redefine the chin area, and more.


Radiesse: The Radiesse family of fillers offers immediate wrinkle-reducing results. This filler option is used to treat the lower facial region, including smile lines and corners of the mouth. Radiesse is also ideal for improving the jawline and jowls, which often contribute to a sagging facial appearance if not addressed.

Background: Little is known about the amount and availability of surgical care globally. We estimated the number of major operations undertaken worldwide, described their distribution, and assessed the importance of surgical care in global public-health policy.


Methods: We gathered demographic, health, and economic data for 192 member states of WHO. Data for the rate of surgery were sought from several sources including governmental agencies, statistical and epidemiological organisations, published studies, and individuals involved in surgical policy initiatives. We also obtained per-head total expenditure on health from analyses done in 2004. Major surgery was defined as any intervention occurring in a hospital operating theatre involving the incision, excision, manipulation, or suturing of tissue, usually requiring regional or general anaesthesia or sedation. We created a model to estimate rates of major surgery for countries for which such data were unavailable, then used demographic information to calculate the total worldwide volume of surgery.


Interpretation: Worldwide volume of surgery is large. In view of the high death and complication rates of major surgical procedures, surgical safety should now be a substantial global public-health concern. The disproportionate scarcity of surgical access in low-income settings suggests a large unaddressed disease burden worldwide. Public-health efforts and surveillance in surgery should be established.


"But Athens the Mother of elegance and politeness, whose magnificence scarce yielded to that of Rome, and who for the beauties of a correct style must be allowed to surpass her; has been almost entirely neglected. So that unless exact copies of them be speedily made, all her beauteous Fabricks, her Temples, her Palaces, now in ruins, will drop into Oblivion; and Posterity will have to reproach us, that we have not left them a tolerable Idea of what was so excellent, and so much deserved our attention; but that we have suffered the perfection of an Art to perish, when it was perhaps in our power to have retrieved it....We have therefore resolved to make a journey to Athens; and to publish at our return, such Remains of that famous City as we may be permitted to copy, and that appear to merit our attention."


With an easing of diplomatic relations in the mid-eighteenth century, it became possible for an intrepid traveler to visit Greece, which then was part of the Ottoman Empire and largely had been closed to Europeans since the destruction of the Parthenon by the Venetians in 1687 and their expulsion the next year. In 1751, the English architects James Stuart and Nicholas Revett announced a proposal that they had conceived of several years earlier in Rome. Their intention was to systematically survey the principal monuments of Athens in three folio volumes, with engraved plates and a descriptive text in hope that "a performance of this kind might contribute to the improvement of the Art [of architecture] itself" (p. i). Stuart made notes and picturesque gouache paintings of the ruins, and Revett their systematic measurements. By the beginning of 1755, they were back in London, where Stuart spent much time supervising the engraving, preparing the text, designing the bindingand marrying his housekeeper. To the increasing impatience of subscribers (and Revett himself), the first volume of The Antiquities of Athens did not appear until 1762, more than a decade after its authors first had left for Greece and seven years after their return. Publication was so delayed that, the year before, William Hogarth had lampooned the fact in a satirical print entitled the Five Orders of Perriwigs, "measured Architectonically"which was to be completed in about seventeen years.
