Breast Cancer: A Guide for Every Woman

This book, written by two leading medical experts and a medical journalist, gives full and up-to-date information about all aspects of breast cancer. Intended as a guide for all women, it will be particularly useful for those who have been diagnosed with, or are at risk for breast cancer. It explains in non-technical language early symptoms, tests, and treatment options, and how to cope with the disease and its treatment. The authors of Breast Cancer explain all these different aspects of the disease clearly and with minimal use of jargon, while still providing all the detailed information about diagnosis, treatment, and care afterwards. They also explain what is now known about he causes of breast cancer - what factors put one at greater risk of developing breast cancer and what factors make it less likely that one will ever develop it.

The book starts by considering mankind’s role in the complex ecological system of our planet and then considers the place of mankind in the cosmos while also looking inward at our own microcosm. It then explains how these scientific insights lead to the ontological search for God. The good, the bad, and the ugly sides of religious beliefs are considered and it is suggested that we are looking for “God” in the wrong place. The book then explains a justification for the author’s apparent cognitive dissonance of retaining a Jewish identity whilst denying the existence of a God with the attributes of man. The author then argues that we should look for “God” in the infinitely small spaces within ourselves instead of the infinitely large spaces of the universe. His “God” would not mind whether individuals believed in “him” or not, so long as they practiced their life as the author practices his medicine: in a never-ending quest to improve the length and quality of the lives of his patients. This book should improve the reader’s knowledge of the philosophers who wrote on the ontology of God. It also rediscovers that Baruch Spinoza had already reached the conclusions of modern-day thinkers more than 350 years ago.

There is no sound archaeological evidence for the biblical story of the exodus from Egypt, but this work of fiction revisits the Bible story using clues from Egyptology and molecular genealogy of three mysterious mummies discovered nearby the Saqqara step pyramid. A group of English and Egyptian archaeologists and geneticists working together discover that one of the mummies carried a gene that confirms he was from the tribe of the Cohanim, and one of the mummies must be that of Nefertiti, the wife of the monotheist pharaoh, Akhenaten. From this they deduce the identity of Moses from the Bible and then follow clues for the route taken by the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land. Along the way they are able to discover rational explanations for the ten plagues and the parting of the Red Sea. These observations are not welcomed by the extreme orthodox community of Jews intent on rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem and ultimately end up in a battle on the Temple Mount. For this the army of the modern Israelites find common purpose with the Palestinian militias to protect the ground that is holy to both Muslims and Jews.

Michael Baum is recognised as a world authority on breast cancer and surgery. In 2007 he was awarded the St Gallen prize, the most prestigious award worldwide for breast cancer research. This book is the story of his life, his work and his mission. Part autobiography, part anti-establishment polemic, part scientific empirical dialogue, Breast Beating recounts the story of Michael's extraordinarily gifted family, his attachment and adherence to the Jewish faith, and on a wider scale his profound love for human kind. He propounds his appreciation for the arts, music and the finer things of life. Michael is a man of science and medicine. Having qualified as a surgeon and reached the top of his profession, his career path also led him into battle against breast cancer wherein with colleagues he developed a number of clinical trials that changed the way breast cancer patients were treated. His research, operations and knowledge have contributed to the improvement in care for cancer sufferers worldwide, and have saved many lives. Michael's steadfastly scientific way of thinking with his knowledge firmly grounded in fact and not hypothesis has recently led him into confrontation with Prince Charles and other proponents of homeopathy and alternative medicine. In this book he explains just how and why he holds such strong opinions and beliefs both from a professional and personal point of view.

The purpose of this text, therefore, is to sort out the facts from the fancies and fallacies, and to provide the busy clinician or clinical nurse specialist with rapid access to information that will make their difficult and sensitive task that much easier.

All subjects have their canon of literature that should be studied before serious students can advance in their chosen fields. Containing papers carefully compiled not merely for their historical importance but also for their contemporary relevance, Classic Papers in Breast Disease is that resource. A team of experts shares their experience in researching, diagnosing, and treating breast disease. Each chapter contains not just a compilation of papers, but a critical commentary on the papers, their strengths and weaknesses, and their relevance to current practice and research. The commentary, always insightful and straightforward, ranges from theory to practice, from physical to psychological. Each chapter also has a brief introduction to set the scene as the author sees it. All the papers share in common their place as building blocks, as judged by the refraction of history, in the current knowledge base or in current research.
