"Just as the title says this book is an essential 'must have' for any student healthcare professional or even those who are qualified and want to refresh their calculation skills. It is very easy to read, being clearly laid out and aided with illustrations and photographs throughout. There is also a variety of worked examples and practice questions which I feel makes this book stand out from the crowd, as you can assess yourself as you go along to check that you are on the right track.
 As a child branch nursing student, I particularly loved how this book covers specific scenarios in paediatrics, from the use of graphs when plotting growth charts to infant fluids, including all types of infant feeds (bolus, continuous or intravenous). There are also worked examples and practice questions for more specialist areas such as high dependency, neonates and paediatric intensive care unit. " Cheryl McCullough, Student Nurse, Queens University Belfast, UK

Literary Essays

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)
