At the International Conference Centre in Geneva, Hannah Rossier,
formerly Annie Price, comes face to face with Neville Weir, someone
from her childhood whom she never expected, or wanted, to meet
again. As Neville's reasons for attending the conference become
clear, the dark waters of Hannah's past start to rise. Hannah is a
psychotherapist, with a specialist interest in memory and how
connections are made between past and present. She has reinvented
herself successfully, moving from a small northern town in England
to Lucerne, Switzerland, with her husband, Thibaut. Nobody, not
even Hannah, knows the full truth about herself. Her 'memories'
consist of glimpses of the place where she played in childhood,
known simply as 'The Wild'. Over the three days of the conference
she has to decide whether she can avoid Neville, or whether she
should submit to an encounter with him and with her past. And in
her keynote lecture about the neuroscience of memory, how much to
conceal or reveal. But can her specialism save her from drowning?

Revised and expanded for the third edition, this book is both a
guide for your first ENT job and a tried and tested revision guide
covering all aspects of the MRCS (ENT) OSCE. Written by a team of
ENT specialists, the accessible text follows a step-by-step
approach with each OSCE station based on the style of past
questions. Recent changes in the structure of the examination,
together with the nature of the examination in both COVID and
post-COVID contexts are included. With over 120 colour images, the
guide remains unrivalled as a tool with which to prepare for ENT
exams. It is essential reading for candidates of the MRCS (ENT)
OSCE and will also aid trainees in preparation for specialty
registrar national selection interviews. It is highly recommended
for GPs wishing to refresh their knowledge of how to assess common
ENT problems and will also be an ideal reference for any junior
doctor learning to take histories and examinations in their first
ENT post. Finally, it is an invaluable resource for medical
students undertaking their ENT attachment and in preparation for
final examinations.
Livy (Titus Livius), the great Roman historian, was born at
Patavium (Padua) in 64 or 59 BC where after years in Rome he died
in AD 12 or 17. Livy’s history, composed as the imperial
autocracy of Augustus was replacing the republican system that had
stood for over 500 years, presents in splendid style a vivid
narrative of Rome’s rise from the traditional foundation of the
city in 753 or 751 BC to 9 BC and illustrates the collective and
individual virtues necessary to achieve and maintain such
greatness. Of its 142 books, conventionally divided into pentads
and decads, we have 1–10 and 21–45 complete, and short
summaries (periochae) of all the rest except 41 and 43–45;
11–20 are lost, and of the rest only fragments and the summaries
remain. The third decad constitutes our fullest surviving account
of the momentous Second Punic (or Hannibalic) War, and comprises
two recognizable pentads: Books 21–25 narrate the run-up to
conflict and Rome’s struggles in its first phase, with Hannibal
dominant; Books 26–30 relate Rome’s revival and final victory,
as the focus shifts to Scipio Africanus. This edition replaces the
original Loeb edition by Frank Gardner Moore.
In addition to Valerie Warrior's crisp, fluent translation of the
first five books of Livy's Ab Urbe Condita , this edition features
a general introduction to Livy and his work, extensive
foot-of-the-page notes offering essential contextual information,
and a chronology of events. Three appendices--on the genealogies of
the most prominent political figures in the early Republic, Livy's
relationship with Augustus, and Livy's treatment of religion--offer
additional insight into the author and the early history of Rome.
