Bridging the gap between the multitude of advanced research articles and the knowledge newcomers to the field are looking for, this is a timely and comprehensive monograph covering the interdisciplinary topic of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). The book not only covers the fundamentals and physico-chemical background of the ICT process, but also places a special emphasis on the latest experimental and theoretical studies that have been undertaken to understand this process and discusses key technological applications. After outlining the discovery of ICT molecules, the authors go on to discuss several important substance classes. They present the latest techniques for studying the underlying processes and show the interplay between charge transfer and the surrounding medium. Examples taken from nonlinear optics, viscosity and polarity sensors, and organic electronics testify to the vast range of applications. The result is a unique information source for experimentalists as well as theoreticians, from postgraduate students to researchers.

This easy-to-read Handbook offers clinicians a practical system for interpreting emergency head CT. This image driven book covers a wide spectrum of conditions likely to be encountered in everyday clinical practice. Practical tips for recognizing subtle pathology, through to the more obvious, are supplemented by easy-to-interpret diagrams. New topics have been added since the first edition, including trauma CT cervical spine interpretation, and an up-to-date section on acute stroke. In addition to the clinical chapters, this Handbook provides simplified technical details, and a brief historical background, making it an excellent reference manual and learning aide for all clinicians with an interest in emergency CT head interpretation.

A comprehensive, systemically organised 'film viewing' book designed specifically for FRCR candidates but equally useful to all trainee and junior radiologists as an 'aide memoire' and to medical undergraduates and MRCP candidates as a useful means of self-testing their level of knowledge. It is fully illustrated with high-quality, clearly labeled black and white illustrations throughout and the text closely mirrors the way that questions are asked in the FRCR film viewing examination, so as to provide as real an examination experience as possible. Each section of the book contains 20 representative questions, and model answers, providing 200 cases altogether. First published in 2000.

A-Z of Musculoskeletal and Trauma Radiology is an invaluable reference to the key aspects of imaging for all conditions of bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments. It provides the clinician with practical guidance on the key presenting characteristics, clinical features, diagnosis and management. The description of each condition is provided in a standard template of Characteristics, Clinical Features, Radiology and Management, enabling the reader to find the relevant information quickly. All diagnostic modalities are included and a separate section is dedicated to musculoskeletal trauma. Written by a multidisciplinary team of radiologists and an orthopaedic surgeon, A-Z of Musculoskeletal and Trauma Radiology is an invaluable resource for radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists and all clinicians managing musculoskeletal conditions.

A-Z of Abdominal Radiology provides a concise, easily accessible radiological guide to the imaging of the common disorders of the abdomen and pelvis. Organised by A-Z, each entry gives easy access to the key clinical features of the condition. Section 1 reviews the relevant radiological anatomy of the abdomen and pelvis. This is followed by over 80 abdominal disorders, listing characteristics, clinical features, radiological features and relevant clinical management. Each disorder is highly illustrated to aid diagnosis. A-Z of Abdominal Radiology is an invaluable quick reference for the busy clinician and aide memoir for exam revision in both medicine and radiology.
