This new edition of a successful and previously popular reference textbook covers all the relevant material in an organized fashion and to a slightly higher level than the earlier editions. The book is therefore suitable for MRCP students as well as undergraduates and can be carried forward tothe clinical years without losing the continuity between physiology and pathophysiology.  This is a comprehensive account of the general principles of endocrinology with a full physiological basis. It is fully up-to-date, covering the recent major developments and is improved with numerous additions and alterations. The clinical approach required by many courses is covered, and thenormal functioning of the glands and hormones is closely linked with a discussion of related clinical problems.  There is an increased number of line drawings and plates so that the book systematically includes clinical photographs of all important endocrinopathies and in this edition there is a small number of colour plates comprising a mini atlas.

The ocean has always been a source of inspiration for surfers, beach lovers, and sailors alike. In Surf, artist Peter Wise pairs sixty of his evocative paintings of the surf with anecdotes from surf-lovers around the world-from professional surfing legends to surfing journalists to businessmen who are surfers at heart. These original paintings are sure to inspire anyone who understands surfing to be a metaphor of personal expression.

MathWise books are specially designed to be unique and effective. 
Most math textbooks and workbooks have a mini-lecture at the beginning of each lesson, and then have pages of problems. Students often get impatient with the explanations and have difficulty knowing how to proceed to work the problems. The format looks dry and boring, and students lose interest.
MathWise books communicate with students as they work through the book. The answer boxes teach good technique, neatness, and organization. Students are guided through the steps in a friendly way, with speech bubbles giving hints and explanations.
MathWise books emphasize deeper level understanding of the material—how and why math works the way it does. The key is: “Understand more, memorize less.”
MathWise books all work together to ensure the development of strong number sense and mathematical thinking. 
MathWise Linear Equations starts with the basics of graphing and progresses to a wide range of topics, including:
<ul>
<li>Slope</li> <li>Slope-intercept form</li> <li>Solving for intercepts</li> <li>Solving for x- or y-values</li> <li>Finding equations from 2 points</li> <li>Standard-form equations</li> <li>Point Slope equations</li> <li>Linear inequalities</li> <li>Systems of equations</li>
</ul>
SPECIAL FEATURES
Tips and Tricks Students have found the tips and tricks to be helpful and memorable, and they have also found that they add interest and excitement to their math studies.
Speech Bubbles with Teacher Insights Speech bubbles are used to provide guidance, point out insights, or give helpful hints as students are solving math problems. Students learn best by doing, and the instruction given in the speech bubbles is designed to (1) sharpen students’ powers of observation, (2) increase number sense, and (3) instruct in digestible chunks.
Simplicity of Instruction Every page (excluding review pages or quizzes) has a specific focus. Most pages have generous amounts of white space to keep students focused. Movement is from the simple to the increasingly complex.
Step-By-Step Procedures Students learn best when given explicit, step-by-step instruction. When several steps are involved, the steps are numbered. This makes learning much more logical and memorable.
Logical-Sequential Instruction Carefully designed problems are presented in a logical sequence, so that previous answers contribute to students’ abilities to solve future problems. The order in which math problems are presented is critical to promoting number sense.
This edition comes with an answer key and is reproducible for single-classroom use.

MathWise Curriculum Press

MathWise workbooks are unique in that they give interactive instruction as students are working on math problems.  Speech bubbles give insights, hints, and observations in measured doses—not all at once, so that students don’t lose attention or get overloaded. Answer frames foster good technique—they ensure that students solve problems in steps and show their work. This is especially important in algebra, because the steps are essential components of the process, yet students want to solve equations mentally. Number sense and sound mathematical thinking are emphasized throughout. In addition to learning the concepts, students develop power with numbers and understand how and why math works the way it does. These books are skill-specific—not grade specific. Challenge problems are sprinkled throughout the books to stretch students’ thinking and to help them grow in their problem-solving skills. MathWise books can be used to supplement any curriculum. They can be used for remediation with higher grades, and they can be used for enrichment with lower grades. They can also be used to pre-teach concepts or to review material that was previously presented. Students often say that the MathWise books helped them to really understand the material for the first time. The layout,  explanations,  tips and tricks, sequence of instruction, and  mathematical connections presented in these books all contribute to the success of the curriculum.  The material in the MathWise books took over 14 years to create and design. These books have been used, tested, and critiqued in the classroom for over a decade.
