"Paul Barber and Deborah Robertson have put together a fabulous, informative and valuable book that addresses one of nursing's key roles. The text presents pharmacology for nurses in a clear and easy to read style ... Aimed primarily at nursing students, this is a book that will stimulate and motivate. However, given the current focus on clinical governance and reducing medication errors, this book would be a useful revision aid for nurses at all levels." Valerie McGurk, Nursing Standard, December 2009 "This book is great! The style of writing is easy to read and a first year student could easily read this without becoming confused by long words and unfamiliar terminology. The book includes lots of features that are useful for exam revision - including tips, calculations, multiple choice questions and learning points. A must have textbook for all nursing students." Joanne Starkes, Nursing student, Bournemouth University, UK
 "This excellent and useful book is written by two authors with a wealth of nursing and pharmacology experience between them. Expert advice is given in the form of clinical tips in boxes throughout the book providing additional specialist information. It is perfect for any pre-registration student to establish a sound base of knowledge in pharmaco-dynamics, the effect of drugs on the body, as well as pharmaco-kinetics, how drugs are absorbed, metabolised and excreted. Calculation of drug dosage is an area of pharmacology which fills many student nurses with dread and the calculation questions in each chapter provide a chance to test and improve calculation knowledge and gain confidence." Jo Parham, Nursing Student, UWE, UK
 "Each chapter has a section of both calculations and multiple choice questions. This is a great idea to allow students to test their knowledge as they go along, as well as being a good study aid when it comes to exam time ... This book is a great investment for any student nurse who is beginning their Pharmacology modules of the course!" Naomi Hanvey, Student Nurse, Queens University, Belfast, UK

Skyhorse

A seemingly insignificant, careless act can sometimes set tragedy in motion. Eight-year-old Pearl tries very hard to get things right. Attuned to her mother’s brittle moods, she watches over her younger brother while carefully guarding her private passions. But a senseless act of violence at summer camp shatters Pearl’s family, and nothing may ever be right again. In a cooler, greener suburb, Sonia is learning to live alone after the death of her husband, a furniture designer who will soon be commemorated by an exhibition of his work. At the edge of the city, the young sculptor Adam Logan is hoping that his controversial new exhibit will change his fortunes. Connected by grief and longing, and united by a shared goal to create a memorial for the city’s lost children, these characters’ lives become entangled in ways that none could have foreseen. Combining the intimacy of a family’s heartache with the suspense of a thriller, Careless is a gripping, seductive novel about the ties of caring and responsibility that are both formed and broken in today’s society and about the resilience of the human psyche.

MACADAM/CAGE.

A tragic event at her summer day camp changes eight-year-old Pearl's life forever and brings her closer to two strangers - Sonia, who is learning to live alone in the suburbs without her husband; and Adam, a young sculptor whose art tries to make sense of mortality. Timely in its references to the post-9/11 world and moving in its restrained exploration of the ways we struggle with grief and try to memorialize the dead, Careless will resonate with readers everywhere as a story about contemporary violence, family, and human connection.
