Health economics is concerned with the evaluation of the effectiveness of health care, particularly by examining the social opportunity costs of alternative forms of treatment. The peculiar nature of the market for health care – that doctors have a major influence on both supply and demand -.has attracted attention, as has the study of the options available for financing such services. 
Economic Analysis in Health Care provides a comprehensive coverage of both the economics of health care systems and the evaluation of health care technologies. It has been written as a core textbook for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students with knowledge of economic analysis and will appeal to an international audience. <ul>
<li>Adopts an international perspective, using examples and case studies from the UK, the rest of Europe, and other countries.</li> <li>Contains detailed exposition of the economic theory alongside relevant examples and applications</li> <li>Focuses on both market-related and economic evaluation aspects of health economics (some books focus purely on market-related aspects)</li> <li>Strong author team with very broad experience of writing and teaching health economics</li> </ul>

In its sixth edition, The Reorganized National Health Service impartially examines the United Kingdom's National Health Service and its context. Previous editions are established as the leading texts on the subject and the work assumes little prior knowledge in the area. This text covers why the NHS is how it is, its needs and problems, how it works and what it achieves.

Long before Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, and Black Bart terrorized the Caribbean, the seas around the British Isles swarmed with pirates. Thousands of men turned to piracy at sea, often as a makeshift strategy of survival. Although the young Francis Drake became the most famous pirate of the period, scores of little-known pirate leaders operated during this time, acquiring mixed reputations on land and at sea. Captain Henry Strangeways earned notoriety for his attacks on French shipping in the English Channel and the Irish Sea, selling booty ashore in southwest England and Wales. John Callice and his associates sailed in consort with others, including another arch-pirate Robert Hicks, plundering French, Spanish, Danish, and Scottish shipping, in voyages that ranged from Scotland to Spain. The first British pirates led erratic careers, but their roving in local waters paved the way for the more aggressive and ambitious deep-sea piracy in the Caribbean.
