It is unfortunate but true that many misconceptions exist regarding
teaching English to non-English speakers. Just as one who can read
is not by that criterion alone capable of teaching reading, knowing
a particular language does not ensure that one can effectively
teach it. It is an error to assume that "common sense" can guide
one in this regard. True "common sense" is simply not as common as
many may believe. What may appear a sensible thing to do in
teaching ESOL, may in fact (as one who reads the book will see)
prove counter-productive and in turn detrimental to the learning
process. This book focuses on subject matter which includes the
question of what language actually is (it's components, skills and
traits), the history of the English language, past and current ESOL
teaching techniques and culture as a factor in language learning.
The book is designed to be of value to ESOL teachers and
administrators, students preparing to teach ESOL, volunteers in
need of learning more about the field and individuals who may
simply be interested in the history of the English language and/or
ESOL methodology. The book's information is expected to increase
the knowledge of readers as well as to help some strengthen and
others develop a solid foundation upon which to rely in whatever
approach they choose to teach ESOL.
The average physician and even cancer care-givers are not
knowledgeable about the effects of cancer treatment on sex and
reproductive life. They are even less aware of the options
available for treatment of such patients. "Cancer and Sexual
Health" fills a great need for a reference work devoted to the link
between cancer and human sexuality. The volume is designed to give
a comprehensive and state-of-the-art review of the sexual and
reproductive consequences of cancer diagnosis and treatment. It
will prove an invaluable resource for those clinicians caring for
cancer patients as well as acting as a reference text for the
sexual medicine clinician who may not see a large number of cancer
patients.
The first, definitive text on female sexual dysfunction, this major
new book summarizes the current body of knowledge in the field,
traces the history of developments in the area, and identifies work
still needed in the future. Reflecting a multidisciplinary approach
to the subject, the book details the methods and materials for
ensuring the appropriate management of women with sexual health
problems, and concentrates on the presentation of evidence-based
data concerning the physiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and
treatment of sexual function and dysfunction in women. The
inclusion of 'difficult cases' also enhances the use of text as a
practical guide to all disciplines concerned with the field of
female sexual dysfunction. This important work will become a key
resource for basic science researchers, endocrinologists,
gynecologists, psychologists, urologists, health care clinicians,
and anyone else interested in women's sexual health. All proceeds
are donated to the International Society for the Study of Women's
Sexual Health.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects 20-30 million American men, most
of whom are over 50 years of age. In a UK-based study, 32% of
British men had difficulty obtaining an erection, 20% with
maintaining an erection. In recent years the physiology and
pathophysiology of ED have changed our understanding of what ED is
from a purely psychological-based disorder to a multifactorial one,
with neurological, endocrinological, psychological factors and the
role of the vascular system. Recently identified risk factors
include diabetes, cardiovascular disease, spinal cord injury,
smoking, depression, atherosclerosis, hypertension, pelvic surgery
and trauma, pharmacological medications, arthritis, peripheral
vascular disease, substance abuse, endocrine abnormalities and
peptic ulcer disease. Many ED patients have a combination of these
risk factors, thus exacerbating ED further. The treatment of ED was
revolutionized in 1998 with the introduction of sildenafil. Beside
these oral treatments, newer injectable agents are being
investigated as are topical preparations. However, not all patients
are tolerant of oral agents, many patients still require penile
reconstruction with penile implants, an option with low
complications and morbidity. There are options for all patients and
this excellent, updated text, edited by some of the world's leading
authorities - Culley Carson, Roger Kirby and Irwin Goldstein -
discusses them all.
