Diabetic neuropathy is very common, affecting up to 50% of all diabetic patients. It can result in disabling neuropathic pain, lower extremity amputations and troublesome autonomic neuropathies (gastroparesis, ercectile dysfunction, sudden cardiac death, and so forth). With the rising incidence of diabetes, the prevalence of neuropathy is also likely to increase. Over recent years, there have been new advances in our understanding and treatment of diabetic neuropathies and the problems associated with the disease.

Freshwater ecosystems are under increasing pressure as human populations grow and the need for clean water intensifies. The demand for ecologists and environmental managers who are trained in basic freshwater ecology has never been greater. Students and practitioners new to the field of freshwater ecology and management need a text that provides them with an accessible introduction to the key questions while still providing sufficient background on basic scientific methods. Gerry Closs, Barbara Downes and Andrew Boulton have written a text that meets the requirements of these students. Following an introduction to scientific methodology and its application to the study of ecology, several key concepts in freshwater ecology are reviewed using a wide range of scientific studies into fundamental and applied ecological questions. Key ecological questions that are explored in a freshwater context include the role of animal dispersal and predators on freshwater community structure and the impact of pollutants and introduced species on freshwater ecosystems. This book represents the only freshwater ecology textbook that is specifically aimed at an introductory level. It will also be a useful primer for students who have not previously taken a specialized freshwater course but who require an accessible overview of the subject. <ul> <li>General reviews on the methods of science, influence of scale, and the main features of freshwater systems. 
</li> <li>Coverage of several fundamental and applied ecological questions. 
</li> <li>A logical structure in each chapter that builds from a general observation of an ecological pattern, to an exploration of the various scientific approaches that can be used to investigate such patterns. 
</li> <li>Suggested further reading lists for each chapter.</li> </ul>

As pressures on Australia’s inland waters intensify from population growth, expanding resource development and climate change, there is an urgent need to manage and protect these special areas. Understanding their ecology underpins their wise management and conservation. Australian Freshwater Ecology vividly describes the physical, chemical and biological features of wetlands, lakes, streams, rivers and groundwaters in Australia. It presents the principles of aquatic ecology linked to practical management and conservation, and explains the causes, mechanisms, effects and management of serious environmental problems such as altered water regimes, eutrophication, salinization, acidification and sedimentation of inland waters. Key features: <ul>
<li>contributions from a diverse, highly qualified team of aquatic ecologists whose expertise spans the ecology and management of standing and running waters in Australia</li> <li>
 sections covering groundwaters, biodiversity, temporary and tropical waters, climate change, invasive species and freshwater conservation</li> <li>
 numerous Australian case-studies and guest ‘text-boxes’ showing management in practice</li> <li>
 concise descriptions of ecological processes and conceptual models illustrated with original, high- quality diagrams and photographs</li> </ul>
Readable and logically structured, this text supports undergraduate and postgraduate courses in aquatic ecology and management. It is a valuable reference for consultants, restoration ecologists, water resource managers, science teachers, and other professionals with an interest in the ecology of surface and groundwaters.

Copywriting is easy. Copywriting is hard. It’s frustrating, rewarding, draining, thrilling and, in almost every way, a lot of fun.\nIt’s also the job Andrew Boulton has been doing, writing about, and teaching others to do, for more than 10 years.\nNow, he’s gathered up all the experiences, observations, lessons, fleeting successes and crushing failures he’s accumulated in that time to help copywriters, new and old, come to terms with the baffling life of an alphabet wrangler.
