Following the familiar, easy-to-use "at a Glance" format and in full-colour, "Pathology at a Glance" is an accessible introduction and revision text for medical students. Reflecting changes to the curriculum content and assessment methods employed by medical schools, this "at a Glance" provides a user-friendly overview of pathology to encapsulate all that the student needs to know.

"Pathology at a Glance: "Addresses the key principles of pathology that are central to medicineContains full-colour artwork throughout, making the subject easy to understandPresents schematic diagrams on the left page and concise explanations on the rightIs divided into three sections, covering general and systematic pathology and clinical case examplesContains self-assessment material, including 10 structured case study questionsCovers general pathology mechanisms and the clinical pathology of body systemsProvides key information on the epidemiology, pathogenesis and clinical features of the major diseases

This book is an invaluable resource for all medical students, of equal benefit for those starting their study of pathology or approaching finals; for junior doctors approaching their membership exams and anybody who needs a handy reference.

Understanding Human Ecology offers a coherent conceptual framework for human ecology - a clear approach for understanding the many systems we are part of and for how we frame and understand the problems we face. Blending natural, social, and cognitive sciences with dynamical systems theory, this key text offers offer systems approaches that are accessible to all, from the undergraduate student to policymakers and practitioners across government, business, and community. In the first edition, road-tested and refined over a decade of teaching and workshops, the authors built a clear, inspiring and important framework for anyone approaching the management of complex problems and the transition to sustainability. Fully updated for the second edition, the book now goes further in using systems-thinking principles to explain fundamental processes of change in social-ecological systems. Revised case examples provide a working application of these principles, whilst a new discussion of the hierarchical structure of complex systems is included to guide practical policy making. This new edition is essential reading for students and scholars of human ecology, environmental ethics, and sustainability studies.

We are facing hugely complex challenges - from climate change to world poverty, our problems are part of an inter-related web of social and natural systems. Human ecology promises an approach to these complex challenges, a way to understand these problems holistically and to start to manage them more effectively. This book is the first to offer a coherent conceptual framework for Human Ecology - a clear approach for understanding the many systems we are part of and for how we frame and understand the problems we face. Blending natural, social and cognitive sciences with dynamical systems theory, the authors offer systems approaches that are accessible to all, from the undergraduate student to policy-makers and practitioners across government, business and community.
