The field of surgery has enchanted students for as long as it has
existed, and today's medical students are no exception. Despite
surgery being vital to our healthcare system, very few students are
exposed to surgical teaching at a level of detail approaching that
of their instruction in medicine or critical care. This textbook
seeks to excise the mystery around the operating theatre and to
equip students with a thorough understanding of the principles of
common operations. The Unofficial Guide to Surgery: Core Operations
is a practical guide to common surgical operations, and it would be
a useful resource for any medical or nursing student undertaking a
rotation in surgery. Whether you're a surgeon-to-be at the cutting
edge of your cohort and hoping to wow your senior colleagues, or a
budding psychiatrist unexcited about standing in theatre for hours
on end, this textbook has something for you. It is detailed enough
to serve as a study resource for the Christina Yangs of tomorrow,
but organised and concise so that even the least surgically
inclined student can feel more prepared for their obligatory stint
in theatre after reading through an operation report while changing
into their scrubs. The textbook features an introduction to the
principles of surgery, followed by detailed operation reports for
an extensive array of common procedures, organised in chapters
based on speciality. Helpfully, each operation report includes the
definition of the procedure being performed, its indications,
high-quality illustrations of relevant anatomy, a step-by-step
guide to the procedure at a level appropriate for students and
junior doctors, and interesting trivia on the operation or
associated condition. Students will be prepared for a niche
question from even the most esoteric consultant!

The story, which has its roots with the racing 'Freres Renault' and
their extraordinary technical advances at the end of the nineteenth
century, follows the Renault F1 team through its heyday from 1977
to 1997. It begins at the turbulent days of 'The Yellow Teapot' (a
popular reference to the groundbreaking yet temperamental cars
which kept breaking down) through the team's rise to dominance of
the racing world in the 1990s. The story reaches a climax with
Villeneuve and Williams-Renault's 1997 triumphs - as this was also
in this year that Renault were to take an extended break from the
circuits. Many great drivers have graced the team's distinctive
yellow-liveried cars, and the team's engines powered the majority
of winners during the end of the period covered by the book,
including Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher, Damon
Hill and Jacques Villeneuve.
