This book investigates the emergence of organic food and farming as
a social movement. Using the tools of political sociology it
analyzes and explains how both people and ideas have shaped a
movement that from its inception aimed to change global
agriculture. Starting from the British Empire in the 1930's, where
the first trans-national roots of organic farming took hold,
through to the internet-mediated social protests against
genetically modified crops at the end of the twentieth century, the
author traces the rise to prominence of the movement. As well as
providing a historical account, the book explains the movement's
on-going role in fostering and organising alternatives to the
dominant intensive and industrial forms of agriculture, such as
promoting local food produce and animal welfare. By considering it
as a trans-national movement from its inception, aiming at cultural
and social change, the book highlights what is unique about the
organic movement and why it has risen only relatively recently to
public attention. The author reports original research findings,
focusing largely on the English-speaking world. The work is
grounded in academic enquiry and theory, but also provides a
narrative through which the movement can be understood by the more
general interested reader.

Macleod's Clinical Diagnosis demonstrates how to apply the core
clinical skills learned from the companion textbook Macleod's
Clinical Examination to maximum advantage. Charting the course from
routine work-up to diagnosis, this book presents a modern and
realistic approach to clinical assessment and explains how to
integrate information obtained from the history, examination,
bedside tests and specialised investigations. The first section
Principles of clinical assessment examines different approaches to
diagnosis, reviews the fundamental elements necessary for accurate
patient assessment, provides a helpful template for a 'routine
workup' and describes how to adapt the assessment to fit the
clinical context. The second core section of the book Assessment of
common presenting problems contains a series of 'diagnostic guides'
that lead the reader, step-by-step through the major presenting
problems in medicine and surgery, explaining how to recognise red
flag features, eliminate life-threatening conditons and generate a
logical differential diagnosis. This book has been praised as an
invaluable resource for senior medical students and junior doctors
as they attempt to make the difficult transition from mastering
basic clinical skills to assessing patients in the real world of
clinical medicine. A unique book allowing a reader to apply the
skills of clinical examination in the formulation of a differential
diagnosis and placing a patient's symptoms in context. Takes a
problem-based approach to diagnostic reasoning, reflecting both
modern medical and current educational practices. Builds on the
clinical skills outlined in the companion Macleod's Clinical
Examination textbook. For this Second Edition the text has been
expanded with five new topics covering nausea and vomiting; vaginal
bleeding; red eye; urinary incontinence; and weight loss.
Digital technologies are becoming ever more integrated into our
daily lives. Wearable devices, big data and the Internet of Things
are poised to create a myriad of personalised services in health,
wellness, commerce and leisure. These will have the potential to
deliver huge benefits to society, but there are real and growing
concerns they could open the door to Big Brother. Starting with the
simplest atoms of behaviour, Data to Life covers a remarkable
breadth of topics: the significance of daily rituals, a taxonomy of
everyday life and tools for behaviour change. It presents a radical
new roadmap for collecting and handling personal data that protects
the interests of both individuals and businesses.
