With the launch of the first edition of Integrated marketing
communication (IMC) in 2001, it was the first title with this
title; currently it still is. In recent international publications
on this topic, authors have questioned the use of the concept IMC,
preferring integrated brand promotion (IBP). These authors argue
that IMC emphasises the communication effort, but that IBP goes
beyond this, and they postulate that coordinated promotional
messages need to have brand-building effects and not just
communication effects. By implication it can be deduced from that
statement that integrated marketing communication does not contain
brand-building effects - which, of course, is not true. The use of
the term promotion is also too limiting and refers to a specific
communication device, therefore the authors of this book contend
that IMC is still valid. The authors' view is that the brand is
crucial and must be the focus when the situation and strategy
require it. The central role of brand has been addressed in this
title, and the importance is frequently mentioned in the various
applications of the IMC elements. Since the publication of the
second edition in 2005, valuable comments have been received from
users. The validity of information was re-assessed, and new updates
were made in terms of theory and South African market statistics.
In addition, new cases have been included in various chapters,
measurement techniques have been added in each chapter and more
examples have been included.
This superbly illustrated work provides short accounts of the lives
and scientific contributions of all of the major pioneers of
Tropical Medicine. Largely biographical, the stories discussed
enlighten a new generation of scientists to the advances made by
their predecessors. Written by Gordon Cook, contributor to the
hugely popular "Manson s Tropical Diseases," this report discusses
the pioneers themselves and offers a global accounting of their
experiences at the onset of the discipline.
Precision oncology offers a hugely exciting opportunity to
personalise cancer treatments and prevention for the benefit of the
individual but does present great challenges at present, both
scientific and ethical. We now have the capacity to identify the
abnormalities in genes and proteins that introduce the risk of
individuals developing cancer and are responsible for the classical
behaviour of a cancer. Having done this, healthcare teams are able
to better diagnose cancer, evolve preventive strategies, and
develop and deploy targeted cancer therapies. Precision oncology
involves better prevention strategies and ensuring that therapeutic
interventions can be concentrated on those who will benefit,
reducing expense and sparing side effects for those who will not.
This new educational resource provides an overview of the latest
progress in developing precision oncology, plus a ground breaking
collection of case studies ("Problems") showing precision oncology
in practice. It includes a clear, readable summary of developments,
alongside real-life case studies, providing a valuable update for
all involved in the oncology community.
In this unique, highly detailed examination, Gordon C Cook explores
disease in the merchant navy through the history of the Seamen's
Hospital Society. From its foundation in 1812, until the present
day, the Seamen's Hospital Society has been responsible for the
physical welfare of merchant seamen and has headed many remarkable
advances in medical science. This handsome volume is ideal for all
those with an interest in the Seamen's Hospital Society, medical
and naval historians, and general readers with an interest in
maritime and naval history.
This volume holds a datelist of 882 radiocarbon determinations
carried out between 1988 and 1993 on behalf of the Ancient
Monuments Laboratory of English Heritage. It contains supporting
information about the samples and the sites producing them, a
comprehensive bibliography, and two indexes for reference and
analysis. An introduction provides discussion of the character and
taphonomy of the dated samples and information about the methods
used for the analyses reported and their calibration. The datelist
has been collated from information provided by the submitters of
the samples and the dating laboratories. Many of the sites and
projects from which dates have been obtained are published,
although, when some of these measurements were produced,
high-precision calibration was not possible for much of the
radiocarbon timescale. At this time, there was also only a limited
range of statistical techniques available for the analysis of
radiocarbon dates. Methodological developments since these
measurements were made may allow revised archaeological
interpretations to be constructed on the basis of these dates, and
so the purpose of this volume is to provide easy access to the raw
scientific and contextual data which may be used in further
research.
In this unique, highly detailed examination, Gordon C Cook
investigates the very beginnings of tropical medicine through the
work of Dr George Low (1872-1952). Widely known as the 'father of
tropical medicine', Low was a pioneering force in the study of
Caribbean diseases and the development of preventative medicine.
His work on parisitology and importance of epidemiology and ecology
was ground-breaking. This remarkable analysis contains, for the
very first time, transcriptions of the thirty-one letters from Low
to Sir Patrick Manson, Medical Advisor to the Colonial Office
during this expedition. The letters reveal Low's thought processes
and landmark discoveries in medical science. This handsome,
hardback volume is ideal for all those with an interest in tropical
medicine, medical and naval historians, and librarians.
A comprehensive survey of the natural fibers animal, vegetable and
mineral on which we depended for our textiles until comparatively
recently.
This book offers a comprehensive survey of the man-made fibers,
including rayons and other natural polymer fibers, and the true
synthetic fibers which have made such rapid progress in modern
times.
This volume holds a datelist of 1195 radiocarbon determinations
carried out between 1998 and 2003 on behalf of the Ancient

This volume holds a datelist of 476 radiocarbon determinations
carried out between 2002 and 2004 in support of research funded by
English Heritage through the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund.
It contains supporting information about the samples and the sites
producing them, a comprehensive bibliography, and two indexes for
reference and analysis. An introduction provides information about
the scientific dating undertaken, and methods used for the analyses
reported. Details of technical reports available for programmes of
luminescence dating and amino-acid racemization funded under this
scheme are also provided. The datelist has been collated from
information provided by the submitters of samples and the dating
laboratories, in order to provide easy access to raw scientific and
contextual data which may be used in further research. Many of the
sites and projects from which dates have been obtained are
published, or are in the process of publication. Full references
are given to these reports for those requiring further detail.
