In a world gripped by an ever-worsening ecological crisis there are
present and increasing genocidal pressures on many culturally
distinct social groups, such as indigenous peoples. This is where
the genocide-ecocide nexus presents itself. The destruction of
ecosystems, ecocide, can be a method of genocide if, for example,
environmental destruction results in conditions of life that
fundamentally threaten a social group's cultural and/or physical
existence. Given the looming threat of runaway climate change, the
attendant rapid extinction of species, destruction of habitats,
ecological collapse and the self-evident dependency of the human
race on our bio-sphere, ecocide (both "natural" and "manmade") will
become a primary driver of genocide. Through nine chapters of
cutting-edge research, this book examines specific case studies in
geographical settings such as Iraq, Sudan, Nigeria and Brazil, to
highlight and analyse the crucial connections and vectors of the
genocide-ecocide nexus. This book will be of great value to
scholars, students and researchers interested in the ecological
crisis, Environmental Justice, the political economy of genocide
and ecocide as well as environmental human rights. The chapters in
this book were originally published as a special issue of The
Journal of Genocide Research.

Whether you are following a problem-based, an integrated or a more
traditional medical course, clinical biochemistry is often viewed
as one of the more challenging subjects to grasp. What you need is
a single resource that not only explains the biochemical
underpinnings of metabolic medicine, but also integrates laboratory
findings with clinical practice. You will find all this, and more,
in the eighth edition of Clinical Biochemistry and Metabolic
Medicine. This well-respected text provides comprehensive and
measured guidance to this complex area, reflecting the ongoing
changes in our understanding of clinical biochemistry while
preserving the acknowledged strenghths of previous editions:
readability, a firm basis in the underlying science and a clear
focus on clinical applicability.
Notes On Clinical Biochemistry shows how the details of molecular
architecture and metabolic pathways which every biochemistry
student has to learn can be summarised and made applicable to a
wide range of clinical problems. This is done partly by a
theoretical discussion of the links between the basic biochemistry
and corresponding medical scenarios, and partly by the discussion
of case histories. In this way, a very wide range of medical
problems is discussed economically.This book is aimed at all those
studying clinical chemistry, and medical students in the middle
period of their course, that is the 2nd - 4th years. This is when
the knowledge of basic sciences gained in the earlier period comes
to be applied to clinical situations, and the book attempts to
show, with respect to biochemistry, how this continuum is achieved.
