<p>This work draws together ideas from algebraic topology, functional analysis and geometry. It is a tool - a means of conveying information among these three subjects - and it has been used with success to discover theorems across a wide span of mathematics. The purpose of this book is to acquaint the reader with the essential ideas of analytic K-homology and develop some of its applications. It includes a detailed introduction to the necessary functional analysis, followed by an exploration of the connections between K-homology and operator theory, coarse geometry, index theory, and assembly maps, including a detailed treatment of the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem. Beginning with the rudiments of C* - algebra theory, the book should lead the reader to some central notions of contemporary research in geometric functional analysis.</p>

The concept of risk in primary care is one which has previously been misunderstood by practitioners. Risk has only been defined in relation to clinical malpractice; until recently the inherent risks involved in running a practice have not been considered. Most risks can be assessed and managed, even if they are not preventable, and Risk Management: health and safety in primary care offers guidance on best practice procedures. Effective management of risk results in decreased cost of risk to both practitioner and patient.This book is written by a practising primary care practitioner. It encompasses all the current laws and recommendations concerning health and safety at work, including discussion of controlling substances hazardous to health (COSHH) as well as looking at appropriate training of staff employed in primary care. Where appropriate, each section includes a detailed policy on the management of the risks under discussion, which can be adapted for use in individual practices.Risk Management: health and safety in primary care should be an essential purchase for all medical and allied health practitioners, as well as practitioners of complementary therapies. Every practice involved with primary care should have a copy of this book on the shelf.
