Conquering High Blood Pressure: The Complete Guide to Managing Hypertension is a remarkably comprehensive account of a common chronic illness affecting adults and children. Dr. Wood, a family and occupational medicine physician, and Mr. Griffith, a family medicine physician assistant, team up to clearly address many important issues, in particular the patient's role in co-managing his or her high blood pressure with a physician or other health care attendant; the important physical or emotional concerns of special at-risk groups (e.g., the elderly, African-Americans, children, and pregnant women); the potentially hazardous side-effects or interactions of the drugs used to treat high blood pressure; the tips to follow to become a savvy consumer of medications or devices to cope with hypertension; the invaluable role of family members and friends in helping the person cope with hypertension; and the relationship between high blood pressure and other chronic diseases (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, and high cholesterol). Supported by compelling case histories and helpful appendixes, the authors' lucid explanation of the many facets of hypertension will enlighten and empower the millions of adults and children who suffer from this disease.

Politics Monographs The Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) has been widely regarded as the locomotive for major economic and, increasingly, political developments in Europe. Germany's political leaders consistently justified its integrationist policy direction and provision of around 60 per cent of net transfers to the European Union (EU) by reference to a consolidation of peace and security, and to its trade interdependence with EU states. The EU has undertaken its largest ever enlargement to include eight and later at least two more countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Focusing on the period leading to these states formal accession, this book examines relations between Germany and, principally, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary. These three comprise East-Central Europe (ECE). The book incorporates political-diplomatic, economic-commercial, and socio-cultural fields, and correlated bilateral and multilateral contexts. Whilst aiming for topicality it also is mindful of powerful historical influences on contemporary European politics. It pursues the following enquiries: What were the motivations for German policies towards these countries and EU enlargement? What developments or forces assisted or countered them? What characterises popular attitudes to common themes in Germany and ECE? What effects do different sectors and actors have on processes of integration and on bilateral relations? What reciprocal effects are there with wider international affairs? What benefits and costs does enlargement present for Germany?

(This book is about the real Scottish soldier. Long before the idea of Scotland as a nation was born, the men who lived in the poor lands north of the Cheviot Hills were soldiers - not through their own choosing but because they had to be in order to survive. While wars on the continent absorbed generations of Scottish mercenaries it was the wars against England which finally welded the nation together)
