Taylor & Francis The Constituents of Medicinal Plants An
Book SynopsisPengelly's user friendly text will encourage educators in medical science to consider using this material in the complementary medicine/nutraceuticals areas May I congratulate Andrew Pengelly for writing this text as it is going to be very popular with undergraduate students as well as more experienced readers.'D. Green, London Metropolitan University, UKThis unique book explains in simple terms the commonly occurring chemical constituents of medicinal plants. The major classes of plant constituents such as phenols, terpenes and polysaccharides, are described both in terms of their chemical structures and their pharmacological activities. Identifying specific chemical compounds provides insights into traditional and clinical use of these herbs, as well as potential for adverse reactions. Features include: * Over 100 diagrams of chemical structures* References to original research studies and clinical trials * References to plants commonly used throughout Europe, North America and Australasia.Written by an experienced herbal practitioner, The Constituents of Medicinal Plants seriously challenges any suggestion that herbal medicine remains untested and unproven, including as it does hundreds of references to original research studies and trials.Designed as an undergraduate text, the first edition of this book became an essential desktop reference for health practitioners, lecturers, researchers, producers and anyone with an interest in how medicinal herbs work. This edition has been extensively revised to incorporate up-to-date research and additional sections, including an expanded introduction to plant molecular structures, and is destined to become a classic in the literature of herbal medicine.Table of ContentsForewordPreface1.

Cambridge University Press Study Design and Statistical Analysis A Practical Guide for Clinicians
Book SynopsisThis book takes the reader through the entire research process: choosing a question, designing a study, collecting the data, using univariate, bivariate and multivariable analysis, and publishing the results. It does so by using plain language rather than complex derivations and mathematical formulae. It focuses on the nuts and bolts of performing research by asking and answering the most basic questions about doing research studies. Making good use of numerous tables, graphs and tips, this book helps to demystify the process. A generous number of up-to-date examples from the clinical literature give an illustrated and practical account of how to use multivariable analysis.Trade Review'This is not a textbook of statistics. Neither is it accurate to say that it is a mere step-by-step 'how-to' guide. Rather it falls comfortably between the two extremes combining intelligent insight and practical know-how illustrated by plenty of 'real' examples taken from fully referenced published studies. … this book is very well laid out in the sense that it helps the reader to find exactly what is needed with ease. Thus, it is very easy to delve into this book and find what is the right test one needs and with the information provided, be confident of how and why that test is appropriate. … One striking feature of this book is how 'un-mathematical' it appears. It is not a book abounding in statistical equations. Instead, where equations are presented they are worded rather than expressed in the standard (and for some off-putting) algebraic form. This and the explanations that ensue, seek to spark the reader's interest rather than encumber him or her with calculations. In these days when statistical software packages tend to obfuscate as readily as the produce output and when a greater appreciation of what statistics is really about is needed, this book is a particularly welcome aid to those who want to understand what they are doing.'

Princeton University Press The Alzheimer Conundrum
Book SynopsisBecause of rapidly aging populations, the number of people worldwide experiencing dementia is increasing and the projections are grim. This title exposes the predicaments embedded in current efforts to slow down or halt Alzheimer's disease through early detection of presymptomatic biological changes in healthy individuals.Trade ReviewShortlisted for the 2014 Mavis Gallant Prize for Non-Fiction, Quebec Writers' Federation "[T]houghtful ... convincing... Margaret Lock is an extremely sharp critic of the Alzheimer's scene."--W. F. Bynum, Times Literary Supplement "[A] diligent survey of research, literature, conferences, and interviews... Lock proves that the science of the disease is just as compelling as poignant accounts from caregivers and those suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Lock highlights just how much we don't know, from problems with Alzheimer's pathology, testing, and diagnosis to the search for a drug treatment... While science plugs away at solving the Alzheimer's conundrum, Lock's call for improved care and social support takes on a new urgency."--Publishers Weekly "[Lock] delivers key concepts in epidemiology, neuroscience and genetics in a way that is both scholarly and free of unnecessary technical details. Lock's bird's-eye view and mix of diverging sources of information is refreshing... For its wide scope and balanced critical evaluation, The Alzheimer Conundrum is an inspiring read for everyone working in the field."--Eus Van Someren, Nature "Comprehensive, cogent, and densely detailed, The Alzheimer Conundrum provides a useful antidote to media hype about 'silver bullets' that are 'just around the corner' and makes an important contribution to our understanding of an achingly tragic disease that touches virtually all of us."--Glenn Altschuler, Psychology Today "The Alzheimer Conundrum: Entanglements of Dementia and Aging is a welcome addition to a body of work that has so productively explored the historical contingencies, cultural specificities, and philosophical dilemmas that surround and shape bodies and people's understandings and inhabitances of them."--Aaron Seaman, Somatosphere "The Alzheimer Conundrum is a gem for young scientists and medical students, and it will challenge them to step back from traditional models, standardised diagnostic procedures and disease specificity to adopt a broader philosophical approach: when is a disease not a disease? ... Lock's rigorous unpacking of research studies and refusal to accept statements and conclusions from research papers at face value result in a thorough and honest appraisal of the current state of the field. It will be a great help in understanding the confusion and conflicting evidence surrounding this highly important topic."--Rose Anne Kenny, Times Higher Education "Lock's empirical account is a very welcome addition to the literature on biomedical uncertainty."--Des Fitzgerald, LSE Review of Books "[W]hether medical researchers or the general reader, this is a meaningful reading."--Liu, Economic Observer (China) "The Alzheimer Conundrum is an engaging read that, while quite granular in its detail, is never dry... Lock clearly summarizes, synthesizes, and critiques the results from research in molecular biology, genetics, neuroimaging, and epidemiology."--Jason Karlawish, Health Affairs "The Alzheimer Conundrum is an eloquently reasoned, provocative work."--Choice "The strength of this book is the in-depth detailing of the limitations of the existing science of Alzheimer's... This book is particularly relevant for researchers in the field of dementia: for those coming from a bio-medical perspective it may help them to be more reflexive about the choices they make in their studies, and for social scientists it may help to further understandings of and potential links with more medically focused research."--Jane Tooke, Journal of Ageing & Society "Lock's book is balanced, brilliant, and inspirational... The sheer travel, research, and organization that went into its creation are beyond impressive.

Taylor & Francis Inc Tobacco Use and Ethnicity
Book SynopsisLearn how ethnic factors affect tobacco use The addiction to smoking is remarkably resistant to intervention, bringing with it a multitude of health issues among users that can at times co-occur with psychiatric disorders. Ethnicity is increasingly recognized as often playing an important role in the prevalence of tobacco use. Tobacco Use and Ethnicity explores the various factors that impact tobacco use among ethnic groups and provides practical, culturally competent approaches to treatment. Chapters consider multiple variables that lead to use among certain groups, such as Asian American and Pacific Island youth, American Indian and Alaskan Native youth, and low-income African Americans. Tobacco Use and Ethnicity is a unique source that comprehensively reveals the intersection between nicotine and culture, constructing culturally informed and culturally competent approaches to tobacco prevention and cessation treatment.

University of Toronto Press Doctors in Canada
Book SynopsisThrough the twentieth century, the nature of medical practice has changed more quickly, more dramatically, and far more publicly than that of any other profession in Canada. In this study Bernard Blishen identifies the social and political pressures on the medical profession and assesses how it has responded to them.Among the changes doctors have confronted are third-party pressures from government and hospital bureaucracies, greater public knowledge, improved technology, recognition of patients’ rights, and legal challenges. Blishen discusses how the doctors achieved dominance in the health field, reviews demographic changes within the profession and the larger population, examines data on the changing health status of Canadians, and charts physician supply against patient demand. He finds that the chief source of his profession’s collegial strength has been the homogeneity of its membership. This homogeneity is declining with increasing numbers of women and ethn

Taylor & Francis Criminalising Coercive Control
Book SynopsisDrawing on experiences from other jurisdictions within the UK, Criminalising Coercive Control explores the challenges and potential successes which may be faced in implementing Northern Irelandâs new domestic abuse offence.A specific offence of domestic abuse was introduced in Northern Ireland in March 2021. This represents a crucial development in Northern Irelandâs response to domestic abuse. The new legislation has the effect of criminalising coercive and controlling behaviour, thereby bringing Northern Ireland into line with other jurisdictions within the UK, and also with relevant human rights standards in this regard. The book begins with a discussion regarding the offence itself and the underpinning domestic abuse policy in Northern Ireland. Subsequent chapters explore further measures which may be needed to respond effectively to domestic abuse in Northern Ireland, by drawing upon the experiences of other jurisdictions of criminalising coercive control. These reflections are considered through the lenses of policing, prosecutorial practice and frontline domestic abuse working.Criminalising Coercive Control will be of great interest to students and scholars in a variety of fields, such as criminal law, criminology, social policy, human rights, family law, gender studies and sociology. The book is also accessible beyond academia, including practitioners and those in the voluntary sector who are working in the area of combating domestic abuse.

Taylor & Francis Everyday Community Practice
Book SynopsisThis book provides a practical but sophisticated exploration of community development practice and is an accessible, relevant, and contextualised guide for those studying social work and human services in Australia. This fully revised and expanded second edition (including new insights from communities preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters) draws on the experiences of not only the authors but many current practitioners from diverse backgrounds working alongside communities to support socially just change. The perspectives of these practitioners are drawn on throughout the book as well as in the exemplary projects case studies at the end of the book. Blending practical skills and ideas with a solid theoretical foundation, each chapter includes reflective questions and examples which can be used both on the classroom and in the field.Enabling students to feel better supported in challenging dominant individualised practice frameworks, it argues strongly that only collective action (supported by community development practice) can address significant social challenges such as those created by climate change, poverty, and social exclusion.
