Highway to Hell

Present-day Iraq is a crucible of torture and Islamic terrorism, swamped with insurgents pitched against the mighty US Army and its allies…but there’s another wetner army in Iraq that dwarfs the British contingent and is second only in size to the US Army itself. It’s a disparate and anarchic multi-national force gathered from twenty or more countries numbering some 30,000, a mercenary army of men and a few women with guns for hire earning an average of $1,000 dollars a day. They are in Iraq to provide security for the businessmen, surveyors, building contractors, oil experts, aide workers and, of course, the TV crews who have flocked to the country to pick over the carcass of Saddam’s regime and help the country rebuild.

Psychiatry introduces medicine students to the subject in a concise, innovative and memorable way. Its patient-centred approach blends a discussion of the theoretical basis of different psychiatric disorders with an explanation of the management of these disorders in everyday clinical practice, using genuine case histories to place the content in a realistic context.

Having undergone an extensive revision for this fourth edition, and covering all the major psychiatric conditions in a logically-structured way, the book is an invaluable guide to all individuals who are likely to encounter those with psychiatric problems, including students of medicine, healthcare, and social work.

The 'New Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry' is one of the leading reference works in this field. Bringing together over 200 chapters from the leading figures in the discipline, it presents a comprehensive account of clinical psychiatry, with reference to its scientific basis and to the patient's perspective throughout. In the 8 years since publication of the first edition, many new and exciting developments have occurred in the biological sciences, which are having a major impact on how we study and practise psychiatry. In addition, psychiatry has fostered closer ties with philosophy, and these are leading to healthy discussions about how we should diagnose and treat mental illness. This new edition recognises these and other developments. Throughout, accounts of clinical practice are linked to the underlying science, and to the evidence for the efficacy of treatments. Physical and psychological treatments, including psychodynamic approaches, are covered in depth. The history of psychiatry, ethics, public health aspects, and public attitudes to psychiatry and to patients are all given due attention. The 'New Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry' will continue to serve the profession as an authoritative and comprehensive reference.

For the first time a private military contractor delivers a frontline report on life as a hired gun in Iraq. "Anyone entering Iraq must travel the road from Amman to Baghdad along the Fallujah bypass and around the Ramadi Ring Road. It's the most dangerous trunk route in the world, used as a personal fairground shooting gallery by insurgents and Islamists with rocket-propelled grenades and Kalashnikovs. For newcomers to the country it's terrifying but hell only really begins when that first journey ends." Amidst the ongoing controversy over the widespread employment of private military contractors in Iraq,Highway to Hell is a mercenary's graphic, first-person expose of life in "the second biggest army in Iraq

Lecture Notes: Psychiatry takes a novel and common sense approach to psychiatry. It is written mainly for medical students and junior doctors, although anyone wanting a concise account of the principles of clinical psychiatry will find the book a useful resource. The book emphasizes how psychiatry is not only a specialty, but an essential part of general medical practice. It starts with a clear description of psychiatric assessment, followed by brief but comprehensive accounts of all the important disorders, their causes and treatment. It provides an up-to-date and evidence-based approach that integrates the three core elements of psychiatry: biology, psychology and sociology.  Each chapter ends with summary points for revision, and the book includes a series of multiple-choice questions with answers.  “…I found this book useful because of its relative simplicity: I was able to use it to understand the core course content in its simplest terms without getting lost in the enormousness of the speciality.” Barts and The London   Pre-publication reviews  "…an essential read for medical students and mental health trainees”  “…concise, readable…altogether a much better read than the usual dense texts of psychiatry,”  "...the chapter on the clinical appraisal of patients is excellent. I will use it in exams as well as in the clinic"
