`General practitioners are in the front line where viral diseases are concerned, and they may sometimes need support in what is a rapidly developing field. The twenty-first century has seen a revolution in the speed and range of laboratory diagnosis as well as a new phase in viral immunisation and antiviral treatment. Advances in clinical medicine have led to new susceptibilities to viruses, and pandemic viral diseases as well as expanding travel to the developing world, have led to viral exposures that were rarely encountered in the past. This useful book is based on case vignettes that describe situations often seen in general practice. It is based on plentiful references to the current literature and brings the latest knowledge on laboratory diagnostics, infection control/public health measures and antiviral treatments to the attention of general practitioners and trainees in medical microbiology and public health medicine. It can also serve as a primer for postgraduate examinations in medicine. It can be read with interest and referred to with benefit.'

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The Book of Lies is a complex work of occultism. Deciphering its many layers of hidden meaning requires a little patience and more than a beginner's knowledge of Thelema. For those interested in passing beyond the initiate stage, the reward offered by a deeper understanding of this challenging text is well worth the effort.

Inspired by Psychopathia Sexualis, Richard Krafft-Ebing's controversial study of sexual perversity, White Stains purports to be "the literary remains of George Archibald Bishop, a neuropath of the Second Empire." Aleister Crowley's book of provocative verse was clandestinely published in 1898 and of the hundred copies that were originally printed, only a handful were spared destruction by Her Majesty's Customs.
