Written by biomedical scientists and clinicians to disseminate the fundamental scientific principles that underpin clinical medicine, this new edition of the Oxford Handbook of Medical Sciences provides a clear, easily digestible account of basic cell physiology and biochemistry, and an investigation of the traditional piers of medicine (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology and pharmacology) integrated in the context of each of the major systems relevant to the human body. Cross-referenced to the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine, and thoroughly illustrated, it is the ideal introduction to the basic medical sciences for junior medical students, and a perfect revision guide for senior students.

This book has been written as an introduction to behaviour modification for psychiatric nurses and all other professionals whose jobs frequently entail them giving advice to parents about children's behaviour problems. The book eschews jargon and aims to be a practical guide which can be readily understood by parents. The majority of the text is given over to orthodox approaches used in behaviour modification, but there is also consideration for more unusual and paradoxical therapies.

The Doctor's Quotation Book: A Medical Miscellany

Literature & Fiction

This book chronicles the influence of diseases on individuals, nations and the course of history. Despite the fact that a man's health often dictates his actions, scant reference has been made by historians to the pernicious effects wrought by mad monarchs and syphillitic statesmen throughout history. Parallels are drawn between the human responses to the major epidemics of history, the ravages of the Black Death, the cholera outbreak and AIDS. Common to all are ideas of retribution, reliance on quack remedies, the search for scapegoats, and ostracism by family and friends. Certain diseases were even thought to be beneficial. Victorian women regarded TB as sexually alluring, and it was thought that TB, syphillis, epilepsy, morphine addiction or madness increased the chances of being a genius.
