In September 2009, the format of the written Radiology FRCR Part 2A
examinations changed. The previous negatively-marked true-false
MCQs have become obsolete, replaced by 'single best answer'
(SBA)questions, with candidates selecting 1 of 5 options, without
negative marking. The author team have themselves recently
successfully sat the FRCR exam, and have prior experience in the
SBA format, making them ideally suited to write such a book, and
have produced an excellent revision guide for the new format exam.
There are 750 stem questions covering all 6 modules, including a
separate section with a 75 questions-per-module 'mock' examination
which readers can use to test themselves against the clock, under
examination conditions, to hone their technique. The questions have
been extensively researched and cross-checked, with relevant topics
being drawn from major radiology textbooks, as well as current
radiological journals such as Clinical Radiology and Radiographics.
Answers are given with detailed explanations and references are
provided, which can also be used for further reading as
appropriate. As a bonus the authors pass on their own proven exam
tips and techniques. Key Points - Authors recently sat exams

Alongside burgeoning global business, which asserts its legality,
ethics and social responsibility, there exists a dark side of
shadow trades manifesting various shades of legitimacy. Not only do
the latter's corrupt practices, dubious supply chains and other
illicit operations run in tandem with global business, these
borderless trades intersect with economic structures and contribute
to systems adopted by corporations, endorsed by neoliberal
capitalism, that are often condoned by governments and unwittingly
sustained by consumers. In a very real sense, all of us may be
implicated in shadow trades through our work, consumption and
citizenship. Even before we can begin to confront and constrain
shadow trades, their business models first need to be identified
and analysed in all their networked complexity, interconnectivity
with global business and embeddedness within the world economy.
Numerous hard questions need to be raised around enabling
circumstances and responsibilities of stakeholders, as well as the
winners and losers resulting from business globalisation and
socio-economic inequities within and between countries. Providing
background, evidence and analysis on select exemplars of shadow
trades, this book provides graduate students of business, plus
scholars in the social sciences, together with practitioners and
policymakers, consumer groups and civil society, with an
indispensable resource for critical engagement. Only through
knowledge gained by research and advocacy for transparency can we
begin to shed light on this dark side of global business, enabling
all of us to grapple with activism against and collaborative action
towards undermining all shadow trades. Amos Owen Thomas was a
Docent / Reader in Marketing and International Business at
Stockholm University until his recent retirement

For generations, conventional wisdom stated that you could never
sell a book with 'penis' in the title - until Quirk's "Penis Pokey"
shattered all of the rules, racking up 100,000 in net sales in just
18 months. In this same tradition comes "How to Live with a Huge
Penis" - a gift every man will cherish, regardless of whether or
not he actually needs it. Frankly, it's enough for someone to think
he needs it. This hilarious self-help parody is full of
compassionate advice for men afflicted with Oversized Male
Genitalia (OMG).Far too often, these men are banished to the
fringes of society, victims of their own freakish length and girth.
But Dr. Richard Jacob and Rev. Owen Thomas are here with a message
of tolerance and hope, along with hilarious advice on 'coming out'
to your family, sharing your assets with a partner, and avoiding
injury in the workplace. Complete with a daily affirmations journal
and inspiring quotes from leading self-help experts, "How to Live
with a Huge Penis" will send an uplifting message to men around the
world.
