Sustainable Healthcare sets out a vision for medical care of high quality, manageable cost and low impact on the planetary systems which sustain us. In tackling the major challenges of our age, such as resource depletion, loss of biodiversity and climate change, health services can play a central role, moving from being part of the problem to becoming part of the solution. Sustainable Healthcare explores questions such as: <ul>
<li> What is the relevance of sustainability in healthcare? </li> <li> How does climate change threaten human health? </li> <li> How can we create low carbon care pathways? </li> <li> How can healthcare organizations deal better with their waste? </li> <li> How can death and dying become more sustainable? </li> <li> How can we engage ourselves and others with this agenda? </li> </ul>
Written by an international team combining clinical, educational, practical and policy expertise in sustainability and health, this book provides a synopsis of our current predicaments, and explores some of the emerging solutions. Containing case studies and resources for further information and action, Sustainable Healthcare is a practical guide to making healthcare more sustainable for all healthcare professionals, managers and students. “Once in a while one comes across a book that makes a deep impact. Sustainable Healthcare is such a book and very timely in the context of modern healthcare and developing green policies… The book is clear in ideas of critical thinking, scientific evidence and practical suggestions for transformative action… An additional strength in this book are the summary key papers and reports including key points from the chapters. In addition, there is a comprehensive list of references in each chapter… The authors cut through the jargon and challenge the rhetoric of both fear and denial… The authors give examples of how we can engage with sustainability such as, diet and exercise, prescription management, contraception management and family planning and end of life care... The book provides useful sources, references and key actions for individuals, healthcare organisations and policy making departments.” - A review by Prof Davinder Sandhu, Postgraduate Dean, Health Education South West, Severn Deanery, UK

Adriatic Pilot is the standard guide to Croatia and the neighbouring countries of Slovenia, Montenegro and Albania which is now celebrating 25 years of publication. It also provides coverage of the eastern coast of Italy and is the only guide to the Venice Lagoon and harbours adjacent to Istria. At present, this is the only book that covers the entire Adriatic region in a single volume. Trevor and Dinah Thompson's thoroughly-researched work provides all the essential navigational information for yachtsmen visiting the area. This th edition has been fully revised to include up-to-date technical information and details of new marinas and their facilities. The user-friendly charts included in the introduction to each section are now cross-referenced to the larger scale plans in the text and page referencing is more comprehensive. Each coastal section is colour-coded and identifiable by colour tabs that improve navigation around the book. This seventh edition of Adriatic Pilot is complemented by Imray's series of charts for the Dalmatian Coast. 'I have reviewed several pilot books in recent years and this is head and shoulders above them all. It is very easy to use and for anyone unfamiliar with the area it is particularly good as it not only includes all the essential general information about the countries but is subdivided with clear general maps of each area/country, with all ports and anchorages marked, plus an overall map of the entire area covered by the book. Each harbour/anchorage is dealt with in a consistent manner with the information in the order that one is likely to need it general, approach, lights, berthing, shelter, facilities, anchoring. What s more where anchoring is an option the sketch charts and navigational instructions are more than adequate to permit safe anchoring without also carrying large scale charts for every inlet, even assuming they exist which in many cases they don t. I can find nothing to criticise! If like me you have not cruised this area you will be tempted to go with this book as your guide. PGE Royal Navy Sailing Association Winter Journal
