This book is for any clinician who wants to write. It is for the physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner who sees patients and also wants to contribute to the medical literature. It is for the assistant professor aspiring to promotion and the clinician in private practice seeking personal enrichment. Loaded with practical advice and real-world examples, this text benefits readers who are new to medical writing and those who have authored a few articles or chapters and want to improve. Readers relate to this book because it is written by someone who has been in their shoes. Dr. Robert B. Taylor is a leader in the field of family medicine. Unlike the authors of many other books who have little experience outside of academia or publishing, writing is just one component of his career. He wrote this book to share what works and what doesn’t in medical writing. Clinicians learn how to translate observations and ideas from their practices into written form and eventually into print.

History

The exciting history of the Los Angeles Police Department is told through all those who have headed the department since 1850. This story begins with the founding of a dusty town in the rough and tumble west and concludes with a modern city facing many contemporary challenges. The period between its founding and the modern era are filled with tales of political influence, corruption, and professional modernization. The story is presented as a biographical sketch of each chief and highlights the many events of each chief. Obviously, not every event in the history of Los Angeles is covered, but the book has hundreds of links for those who are interested in further studying history or the LAPD. The book also contains more than 900 images, including newspaper articles to help weave this fascinating story. This is the first book to undertake a history of LAPD chiefs and it is presented as a historical guide rather than an editorial. Readers can choose to read a section at a time, read the entire book or use it as a reference guide to the CIty of Los Angeles and its police department. The history of the two is interwoven, threads of the same cloth.
