Orthopaedic Examination Techniques comprehensively covers the basic
examination skills and key special tests needed to evaluate the
adult and paediatric musculoskeletal system. Chapters are presented
in a clear and logical way to allow readers to understand then
master the techniques of orthopaedic clinical examination. Written
by a diverse group of chapter authors with extensive experience in
teaching clinical examination and who use a uniform system that is
taught on national courses, every aspect of musculoskeletal
examination is covered in the adult and paediatric patient.
Numerous illustrations and new clinical photographs help readers to

at the end of the book demonstrate the value of clinical
examination through more than 80 clinical case examples.
Easy-to-follow throughout, this book is invaluable reading for
trainee orthopaedic surgeons, especially those preparing for the
FRCS (Tr&Orth) postgraduate examination, practising orthopaedic
surgeons, medical students, physiotherapists, and rheumatologists.

Edward Payson Weston's 3,100-mile walk from California to New York,
completed on 3 May 1910, was one of his great achievements, but
only one. It took him just 77 days. He was 71 years old. For half a
century Weston was one of the most famous people in the
English-speaking world, as the first age of international celebrity
unfolded. The godfather of the pedestrianism movement, he
criss-crossed Britain and America on foot earning fame, fortune and
notoriety in an athletic career that saw him complete some of the
most amazing endurance feats ever witnessed. In this entertaining
and wide-ranging book, co-authors Nick Harris, Helen Harris and
Paul Marshall, skillfully recreate a vanished world to tell one of
the most amazing stories in sporting history. Part social history,
part biography, part exposition of the seedy underbelly of
Victorian society, this is a work that draws in elements of
sporting genius, high stakes gambling, drug abuse, and marital
scandal. A Man in a Hurry is one man's flamboyant athletic journey
from the Gold Rush to the Jazz Age, the story of a dreamer, schemer
and ladies man who met with Presidents and royalty, crooks and
knaves. With its colourful detail, historical context and readable
style, this groundbreaking work is an important addition to the
sports literature canon.
When you're feeling disappointed or just a little blue, there's

With all-time classic subjects such as bankers, the battle of the
sexes and Doctor, Doctor, as well as cheeky wordplay and
one-liners, Nick Harris has collected together a bumper crop of
mirth to turn that frown upside down!
This is a new release of the original 1933 edition.
Vibration-based energy harvesting is one of the attractive
solutions for powering autonomous microsystems, due to the fact
that, vibration sources are ubiquitous in the ambient environment.
Basically, the vibration-to-electricity conversion mechanism can be
implemented by piezoelectric, electromagnetic, electrostatic, and
magnetostrictive transductions. In this book, piezoelectric
transduction is investigated due to its high electrical output
density, compatibility with conventional thick-film and thin-film
fabrication technologies and ease of integration in silicon
integrated circuits. A three dimensional thick-film structure in
the form of a free-standing cantilever incorporated with
piezoelectric materials is proposed in this work. The advantages of
this structure include minimising the movement constraints on the
piezoelectric, thereby maximising the electrical output and
offering the ability for integration with other microelectronic
devices.
