For decades, the legions of World War II buffs interested in Allied and Axis naval history were limited to expensive, multi-volume works written for specialists. No longer will this be the case. Fleets of World War II, packed with data and illustrated throughout, is not a simple list of ships but a fascinating and often pungent appraisal of those ships and the fleets they served. Japan built the world's largest battleships with guns bigger than anything in the Allied arsenal-but was bigger in fact better? The British engaged in a wartime flurry of ship production-but did they build the ships they needed for victory? Fleets of World War II dispels the clutter, providing a straightforward appraisal that is nothing short of revelatory.A complete resource, the book includes every nation that took part in the war, along with the key neutrals. Each fleet is surveyed in totality, from the mighty battleships to the humble motor launches. The systematic, plain-English presentation makes for easy reference: nation by nation, ship by ship, with a multitude of details on design, strategy, and combat available nowhere else.

The aim of the 100 Cases series is to provide a novel learning and revision tool that works by guiding students through clinical cases, imitating those that students and house officers are likely to meet in accident and emergency and outpatient departments, and in general practice. The cases are written to interest students in clinical problems and to help them develop their skills of clinical reasoning, with each scenario providing details of a patient's medical history and the key findings of a clinical examination, together with initial investigation results data for evaluation. Key questions then prompt students to evaluate the patient, and reach a decision regarding the patient's condition and the possible treatment plan; while the answer pages will help students to understand the processes that a clinician or surgeon goes through in such situations. Designed with the student in mind, this volume includes features to aid self-directed learning, clinical thinking and problem-solving. 100 Cases in Surgery covers common and more unusual complaints presented, in the following surgical specialty areas: vascular, breast, endocrine, urology, orthopedic, neurosurgery, upper GI, lower GI, anesthesia, and post operative complications.
