Sir Lawrence Linwood is dead. More accurately, he was
murdered—savagely beaten to death in his own study with a
mediaeval mace. The murder calls home his three adopted children:
Alan, an archeologist; Roger, an engineer; and Caroline, a
journalist. But his heirs soon find that his last testament
contains a strange proviso—that his estate shall go to the heir
who solves his murder. To secure their future, each Linwood heir
must now dig into the past. As their suspicion mounts—of each
other and of peculiar strangers in the churchless town of Linwood
Hollow—they come to suspect that the perpetrator lurks in the
mysterious origins of their own birth.
Every trainee in anaesthesia requires a thorough understanding of
basic physiology and its application to clinical practice. Now in
its second edition, this comprehensively illustrated textbook
bridges the gap between medical school and reference scientific
texts. It covers the physiology requirements of the Primary FRCA
examination syllabus. Chapters are organised by organ system, with
particular emphasis given to the respiratory, cardiovascular and
nervous systems. The practical question-and-answer format helps the
reader prepare for oral examinations, while 'clinical relevance'
boxes translate the physiological concepts to clinical practice.
This new edition has been thoroughly updated and revised
throughout, and includes six new chapters, including the physiology
of the eye, upper airway and exercise testing. It provides junior
anaesthetists with an essential 'one stop' physiology resource.
Health professionals are increasingly drawn towards research in the
course of their training, often with little guidance on the skills
and techniques required. This practical text provides essential
advice to guide the beginner through the processes involved in
selecting, organizing, funding, undertaking, evaluating and
publishing a biomedical research project, and completing a
postgraduate qualification. Cartoon illustrations provide a wry
commentary on the ups and downs of life in research. This edition
contains new content on choosing supervisors, career implications,
degree structures, ethical issues and time conflicts between
research and service needs, and is fully revised and updated to
reflect changes in the structure of medical careers and degree
courses, and the use of computational and information technology in
research presentation. An invaluable guide suitable for all stages
of a medical research career, from the first stages of research,
through to professional supervisors, career counselors and
postgraduate tutors.
