Headline Publishing Group The Unseen Body
Book SynopsisIn his beautifully written prose, Dr Jonathan Reisman - physician, adventure traveller and naturalist - allows readers to navigate their insides like an explorer discovering a new world.Through his offbeat adventures in healthcare and travel, Reisman discovers new perspectives on the body: a trip to the Alaskan Arctic reveals that fat is not the enemy, but the hero; a stint in the Himalayas uncovers the boundary where the brain ends and the mind begins; and eating a sheep''s head in Iceland offers a lesson in empathy. By relating his experiences in far-flung lands and among unique cultures back to the body''s inner workings, he shows how our organs live inextricably intertwined lives in an internal ecosystem that reflects the natural world around us.Reisman''s unique perspective on the natural world and his expert wielding of wit ultimately helps us make sense of our lives, our bodies and our world in a way readers have never before imagined.''An elTrade ReviewA fascinating, lyrical book . . . Reisman's experiences in other cultures bring a richness and depth to The Unseen Body. The way he thinks about the body and medicine - the rivers and tributaries, the flowing and unclogging, the top-down organisation of the brain - is extraordinary! * Mary Roach, author of STIFF *A magnificent travelogue through the human body by a truly intrepid explorer. A genuine 'must' for anyone who is even remotely curious about their own body and how it works. I really loved it. * Professor Sue Black, author of WRITTEN IN BONE and ALL THAT REMAINS *An intelligent, innovative, eclectic and accessible book in which Reisman views the human body with a remarkable degree of lateral thinking. Sometimes funny, often gruesome but always entertaining and educational. * Samer Nashef, author of THE ANGINA MONOLOGUES *The author's literary approach to this complicated subject proved excellent bedside material. [Reisman] comes across as a generous and thoughtful physician . . . [who can] make sense out of it all. -- Ms. Bone * Wall Street Journal *If you are fascinated by the human body and how it works, or you are thinking about studying medicine, or you are just a curious person you will find this book a joy to read . . . This is a great and easy read which I heartily (excuse the pun) recommend. * Professor Alex Rodgers, author of THE DEEP *Terrific, memorable, original, and full of information that informs one's understanding not only of the body but what has stopped us from knowing more. There is palpable joy at learning in Reisman's writing and readers will know him as an individual whose humility and empathy are as impressive as his adventurous, travel-hungry spirit. * Kenneth S. Brecher, cultural anthropologist and author of TOO SAD TO SING *Through his acute and extensive observations of the seen world of nature and human nature, Reisman illuminates the analogous workings of our unseen bodies. An Alexander von Humboldt of the human body, Dr. Reisman's comparisons give us an ingenious perspective from which to understand the ways in which our internal organs function alone and together. I highly recommend this book to everyone interested in understanding and appreciating the marvels of the human body. * Warren Zapol. M.D., professor of anesthesiology at Harvard Medical School, Antarctic researcher, and inventor *THE UNSEEN BODY is an elegant, elegiac, and deeply enjoyable meander through human anatomy, by way of brain-tanned buckskin, blood as the last salty remnant of life's oceanic origins, and the World Testicle Cooking Championships. The images Reisman conjures will linger long after you've devoured his delightful prose. * Nicola Twilley, co-author of UNTIL PROVEN SAFE and co-host of GASTROPOD podcast *A remarkable travel narrative that documents the author's trip through a seemingly familiar place, the human body, and with a blend of science and personal experience renders that place both strange and fascinating, so much so that the reader will feel not only delighted, but also proud to be a lifelong inhabitant of it. * Lawrence Millman, award-winning author of FUNGIPEDIA *Quirky, never-dull popular science * Kirkus Reviews *An engaging book likely to pique the curiosity of readers interested in a wide range of medical conditions or naturalistic medicine * Library Journal *Dr Reisman engagingly relates provocative stories for the fifteen body parts uncovered in this treatise, and goads the reader to re-evaluate their perception of the body * City Book Review *Physician and naturalist Reisman offers a 'behind-the-scenes look at life itself' via an odyssey through the human body . . . deep curiosity driv[es] his narrative * Publishers Weekly *

Atlantic Books The Unreality of Memory: Notes on Life in the
Book Synopsis'A work of sheer brilliance, beauty and bravery' Andrew Sean Greer, author of Less'Masterly... Her essays have a clarity and prescience that imply a sort of distant, retrospective view, like postcards sent from the near future' New York TimesWe stare at our phones. We keep multiple tabs open. Our chats and conversations are full of the phrase "Did you see?" The feeling that we're living in the worst of times seems to be intensifying, alongside a desire to know precisely how bad things have gotten.Poet and essayist Elisa Gabbert's The Unreality of Memory consists of a series of lyrical and deeply researched meditations on what our culture of catastrophe has done to public discourse and our own inner lives. In these tender and prophetic essays, she focuses in on our daily preoccupation and favorite pasttime: desperate distraction from disaster by way of a desperate obsession with the disastrous.Moving from public trauma to personal tragedy, from the Titanic and Chernobyl to illness and loss, The Unreality of Memory alternately rips away the facade of our fascination with destruction and gently identifies itself with the age of rubbernecking. A balm, not a burr, Gabbert's essays are a hauntingly perceptive analysis of the anxiety intrinsic in our new, digital ways of being, and also a means of reconciling ourselves to this new world.'One of those joyful books that send you to your notebook every page or so, desperate not to lose either the thought the author has deftly placed in your mind or the title of a work she has now compelled you to read.' Paris ReviewTrade ReviewA work of sheer brilliance, beauty and bravery. * Andrew Sean Greer, author of Less *Moves fluidly from disaster to dislocation to political upheaval, offering a kind of literary road map to our tumultuous era. * Kirkus, starred review *With poetic precision, The Unreality of Memory lays bare the truth, beauty, and pain of living in our era. Examining disasters both manmade and natural, Gabbert's essays perform a beautiful autopsy of our fears, showing us what it means to exist in a time of eternal apocalypse. Breathtaking in its scope and thought and captivating prose, Unreality is a necessary and vital handbook for anyone experiencing the existential dread of everyday modern life. * Lyz Lenz, author of Belabored *Wildly fun and casually brilliant, this book will make you feel happier while you're reading it and smarter once you finish. * Sandra Newman, author of The Heavens *Amid impending disasters too vast even to be perceived, what can we do-cognitively, morally, and practically? Gabbert, a tenacious researcher and a ruthless self-examiner, probes this ultimate abstraction in her essays, goes past wordless dread and comes up with enough reasoned consideration to lead us through. Do you feel-and how can you not-as if your emotional endurance is exhausted by horrors already well underway? Then you should read this book. * Sarah Manguso, author of 300 Arguments *Elisa Gabbert is one of my favorite writers, but how I wish her new book wasn't so timely! I mean this as the highest praise: I had to go lie down in between essays. * Austin Kleon, bestselling author of Steal Like an Artist *Whatever the chosen topic, Gabbert's essays manage to be by turns poetic, philosophical, and exhaustively researched. This is a superb collection. * Publishers Weekly *Elisa Gabbert's essays are always worth reading ... Not necessarily uplifting, but personally, I find reading the meditations of a brilliant writer, particularly meditations about the dread I can't shake, both soothing and invigorating. * Lit Hub *Elisa Gabbert's The Unreality of Memory is one of those joyful books that send you to your notebook every page or so, desperate not to lose either the thought the author has deftly placed in your mind or the title of a work she has now compelled you to read. The essays encompass sickness and trauma, anesthesia and memory, politics and political apathy, but owing to the force of Gabbert's attention, the book remains determinedly cohesive. Written before COVID-19 altered all our lives so irretrievably, it is also a work of uncanny prescience. * Paris Review *[A] searing essay collection that takes place at the intersection of devastation, technology, and memory. In shattering essays, Gabbert explores if and how and why certain threats register more than others, and how even seemingly immutable facts are subject to spin from our imprecise recollections. * Vulture *The true mark of a timeless book is that it feels timely no matter when you read it; Elisa Gabbert's new essay collection - full of provocative, prescient meditations about politics and illness and memory and identity- has just that kind of exquisite urgency. Gabbert looks at both the past and present to contemplate and probe at what may become our future. Unafraid to explore the darkest reaches of our minds and behaviors, Gabbert still offers a glimmer of hope amid all the anxiety and terror of our age. After all, if there's writing like this to keep us company, maybe things aren't so bad after all? * Refinery 29 *Absolutely stunning... a book for our times. * BookPage *Masterly... Her essays have a clarity and prescience that imply a sort of distant, retrospective view, like postcards sent from the near future * New York Times *The worst thing about neverending eschatological dread is how lonely it makes you feel. This book by Elisa Gabbert is like having a calm, brilliant, clear-eyed companion to talk you through your end-times horror. (I needed it.) * Lauren Groff, via Twitter *Poet and essayist Elisa Gabbert's voice is calm, playfully engaging and clear - a voice for our anxious, wired times, if ever there was one. This second book of nonfiction functions as a field guide to digital anxiety, its subjects ranging from computer-animated recreations of the sinking of the Titanic to "mirror delusions" and a history of psychosomatic disorders. Each diligently researched essay seems to evolve organically and if she doomscrolls her way down a rabbit hole, you know it will lead somewhere not just pertinent, but poetic and philosophical too. * Observer *Table of Contents1: MAGNIFICENT DESOLATION 2: DOOMSDAY PATTERN 3: THREATS 4: BIG AND SLOW 5: THE GREAT MORTALITY 6: THE LITTLE ROOM (OR, THE UNREALITY OF MEMORY) 7: VANITY PROJECT 8: WITCHES AND WHIPLASH 9: SLEEP NO MORE 10: TRUE CRIME 11: I'M SO TIRED 12: IN OUR MIDST 13: EPILOGUE: THE UNREALITY OF TIME

Taylor & Francis Ltd The New DRCOG Examination: Sample Questions with
Book SynopsisThe Diploma of Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (DRCOG) examination recognises a doctor's interest in women's health. Recent changes to the exam now require that candidates answer extended matching questions, single best answers and multiple choice questions. This comprehensive revision guide provides three full papers covering the entire DRCOG syllabus. Each paper is specifically designed for practice under exam conditions. To aid general revision, a detailed subject index enables a more focused approach to individual topics, and the explanatory answers have been fully referenced to assist further study where necessary.Trade Review'Following on from the success of our first book nMRCGP Applied Knowledge Test Study Guide - Sample Questions and Explanatory Answers, and as the format of the DRCOG had changed, we felt that we were in a great position to produce another excellent study guide. The DRCOG is an examination that recognises a doctor's interest in women's health, rather than being a specialist qualification. It tests knowledge of both community and hospital based medicine. Holding the Diploma has enabled us to improve our clinical knowledge and made us more capable of providing a high standard of care in women's health. Our study guide will help focus your revision on relevant subjects, particularly important as the exam has a significant failure rate. We are sure that this book will prove an invaluable aide for exam preparation.' Aalia Khan, Ramsey Jabbour and Almas Rehman summarised from the PrefaceTable of ContentsPreface. About the authors.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Dignity in Healthcare: A Practical Approach for
Book SynopsisDignity in the care of patients and clients of all ages, whether in hospital or community settings, is an area of increasing national and international importance and concern. However, a comprehensive, accessible resource for nurses and midwives on the theory and practice of dignity in care has until now been lacking. Dignity in Healthcare provides a practical approach, underpinned by up-to-date theory, to this crucial issue for those providing care to people in all stages of life, including those with mental illnesses or learning disabilities. Care in areas such as maternity, community, palliative and acute care and others is explored in depth. Approaches to education and practice development for promoting dignity in care are also outlined clearly and accessibly, with each chapter combining an evidence-based theoretical underpinning with practical application through scenarios. Pre-registration nursing and midwifery students and their teachers will find this book essential reading, but it will also be of interest to practising nurses, midwives and other health professionals seeking clear insights into the principle of care that is central to all healthcare professions.Trade Review'As I read it I noticed that there are some major challenges to providing care to people in a dignified way - adequate resources in terms of staff levels and the environment and adequate appropriate practices. While resources may not be within an individual's control their individual practice is. I feel this book probably achieved its aim in encouraging me to think about dignity.' - Philip James, Clinical Nurse Specialist in Adolescent Substance Use, Mental Health and Substance Use 2012Table of ContentsDignity in healthcare: setting the scene.

CRC Press Handbook Of Medicinal Herbs 2Ed Pb 2013 Special
Book SynopsisStill considered the definitive work on medicinal herbs and their uses after two decades, the Handbook of Medicinal Herbs has undergone a long-anticipated revision. In the second edition, world-renowned ethnobotanist James A. Duke provides up-to-date data on over 800 of the worldâs most important medicinal plant species. The book contains more species, phytochemicals, proven indications, folk indications, and dosage data than the first edition in a new easier to use format. The in-depth content, the addition of color plates and over 200 black and white illustrations makes this book the most comprehensive resource on medicinal herbs available.NEW IN THE SECOND EDITION: Over 100 color plates, 4 color maps Over 200 black and white illustrations Over 800 medicinal plants â more than twice as many as the previous edition organized alphabetically by common name More herbs from the African, Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Jamu traditions EASY ACCESS TO INFORMATION YOU NEED Designed to give you fast access to the information you need on a regular basis, this new edition is organized more systematically than any other medicinal herb publication. The entries are now arranged alphabetically by common name with the scientific name in parenthesis. Major synonyms are also provided. It has become increasingly clear that there are hundreds of biologically active compounds, often additive or synergistic, in all our plants, foods, spices, herbs, medicinal, and poisonous plants. The debate continues on how these plants work and how they should be used. Blending scientific fact with folk uses and the authorâs personal experience, Handbook of Medicinal Herbs, Second Edition provides the most well rounded discussions of safety, efficacy, toxicity, and rational use found in any herbal reference.Trade Review"Of interest to those who involved in the use of herbs in the medicinal environment…A fine reference work." —J. Elliot, Southeastern Naturalist, 2002 “…the perfect herbal reference. This is a tall order but it is one that James A. Duke, Ph.D., et al, filled quite well…describes most herbs concisely and, in an equally concise manner, evaluates the scientific research on their use. …The extensive references and their convenient coding contribute greatly to the overall value of the new edition…Dr. Duke commented in his introduction that he meant to create a resource to parallel the PDR® for Herbal Medicine. In fact, this updated handbook accomplishes much more. There is no other modern desk reference that combines such a comprehensive materia medica with as much scientific source material. …the botanical reference that most practitioners have been looking for and it comes highly recommended by this practitioner.”— Kathy Abascal, B.S., J.D., Herbalist, Alternative and Complementary Therapies, October 2002“…879 pages of valuable information about more than 800 useful and rarely used medicinal herbs. …the use of shortenings and evaluations and the concise descriptions makes the use of the handbook as a reference book easy.”— Journal of Medicinal and Spice PlantsTable of ContentsAlphabetical listing of herbs by common name.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Transition to Parenthood after IVF
Book SynopsisThis book explores how experiences of IVF can affect the transition to parenthood for non-donor infertile couples.Drawing on empirical research and the broader social sciences literature, the book sets out the context of complex modern family building and discusses how infertility and IVF continue to shape parenthood and family building after successful IVF conception. It looks at how stigma, disclosure, loss, and gender affect the transition to parenthood, as well as what happens when parents start thinking about trying for siblings. We highlight the key roles for health care professionals (nurses, midwives, and health visitors) when caring for these new parents, in providing social support and facilitating good communication to foster emotional well-being.Ideal for nurses and midwives working in reproductive health as well as primary care nurses and health visitors, this applied text is a key reference for all healthcare professionals who meet people at any point on their journey to achieving pregnancy through IVF, during maternity care, and through the first few years of parenthood.Table of Contents1.Foreword - Lorraine Culley. 2.Preface - Jane Denton. 3.Acknowledgements. 4.Chapter 1 Introduction to the book. 5.Chapter 2 The context of infertility services and assisted reproduction (AR). 6.Chapter 3 Transition to parenthood. 7.Chapter 4 Sex, gender, and parenthood after IVF. 8.Chapter 5 Stigma and disclosure in infertility and IVF parenthood. 9.Chapter 6 Anxiety and loss in the transition to parenthood. 10.Chapter 7 IVF parents: family building in IVF parenthood. 11.Chapter 8 Conclusions: developing person-centred nursing, midwifery, and health visiting practice.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Orthodontic Treatment of Impacted Teeth
Book SynopsisThe new edition of the gold-standard clinical reference on addressing common, complex, and multifactorial clinical scenarios Orthodontic Treatment of Impacted Teeth integrates the latest developments and scientific evidence to provide authoritative coverage of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment, radiographic methods, surgical access, treatment strategies, and more. This new edition incorporates recent advances in research and presents up-to-date treatment recommendations for clinical practice. New and expanded chapters address topics such as abnormal root growth associated with tooth Impaction, improvements in the diagnosis of pathologic entities using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), root and crown resorption, and treating abnormal incisor root development caused by past trauma. Throughout the text, readers gain valuable insight into the management of impacted teeth in real-world practice, illustrated by updated cases from the author''s own clinic.Trade Review"Prof Adrian Becker is a true connoisseur of dental impaction...Every chapter in this book is generously illustrated with clinical photographs and radiographic images, and the latest scientific research is referenced.The reader can also access the companion website, where video case presentations with animated CBCTs are available. Overall, this is an indepth, indispensable source of knowledge that you will return to again and again."- Alex Ditmarov, DDS, Published in Journal of Clinical Orthodontics (June 23) Every chapter in this book is generously illustrated with clinical photographs and radiographic images, and the latest scientific research is referenced. The reader can also access the companion website, where video case presentations with animated CBCTs are available. Overall, this is an indepth, indispensable source of knowledge that you will return to again and again. "The text is supplemented with first-rate animations of clinical photographs and diagnostic imaging. There is a plethora of cases illustrating routine clinical situations but also a chapter on less common cases where difficult decisions have to be made. There are separate chapters dedicated to the root form of impacted teeth, the special challenges of treating impacted teeth associated with dentigerous cysts and caring for patients with Cleidocranial dysplasia. There is also an excellent chapter entitled ‘The Anatomy of Failure’ on patient- and clinician-dependent reasons for unfavourable treatment outcomes. Many of the chapters give an excellent historical perspective on how treatment has changed over the recent decades"- Prof David P Rice, University of Helsinki and Editor of European Journal of Orthodontics.
