Delivering the facts to your fingertips, the Oxford Handbook of Tropical Medicine provides an accessible and comprehensive, signs-and-symptoms-based source of information on medical problems commonly seen in the tropics. A handy guide which can fit in the coat pocket and be used easily at the bedside, it has been designed to be as practical as possible with illustrations of blood films and stool smears, which are useful for diagnosis, as well as clinical features, diagnosis, and management. Medical conditions are ordered by system except for the five major tropical conditions - malaria, HIV/STIs, tuberculosis, diarrhoeal diseases, and acute respiratory infections - and fevers. In this new edition the sections on malaria, cardiology, chest medicine, gastroenterology, mental health and dermatology have undergone major revision, and there is new material on altitude sickness, heat stroke, avian flu and fuller poisoning. There is a greater emphasis on pediatric medicine and public health throughout, and new illustrations and photographs have been included to aid with diagnosis. Small enough to throw in your rucksack, this unique handbook is the ultimate quick reference guide for all those working in the tropics.

Seale, Anna

Growth can be the most important attribute that any business can have, and yet is commonly the least well-managed area of a business' operations. Explaining why this is, The Growth Director's Secret examines the structural/cultural factors that hold many conventionally-organized companies back. The book explores important new insights from neurological research, which reveal near-universal misunderstandings about consumer motivations, shopping behaviour and brand choice. Andy Brent shows how these flaws lead many businesses to develop bland, undifferentiated consumer propositions and wasteful commercial/marketing plans, which condemn them to year upon year of stagnant growth. The book challenges much current commercial and marketing thinking, and introduces important new ideas such as: * The Big Growth Mistake that almost all companies make; * Shopping on Auto-pilot; * the crucial Moments of Maximum Emotional Impact (MoMIs) where all brand choice decisions are made; and * Marketing at Open Minds - a challenging new way to think about building growth-orientated marketing plans. The Growth Director's Secret is essential reading for business owners and managers,  proposing a challenging and innovative Growth Paradigm for companies who want to break the constraints of conventional business thinking and set themselves up for significant, sustained, profitable growth.

GARDNERS VI BOOKS AMS006

This book is not a novel one reads from the beginning to the end. It is a series of essays on contemporary subjects from as popular a subject as an intimacy between sexes to as sublime as an entropy of civilizations. The text is interspaced with a few short poems or verses, a few illustrations and some jokes to lighten the mood. The essays do not stray from controversy. Just the opposite, most of them could be qualified as politically incorrect. The author subscribes to the view that political correctness is a scourge of our times and that it was forced upon us for somebody's benefit and/or protection.
