First published in 1954, Farquharson's Textbook of Operative General Surgery has become firmly established as a classic textbook for trainee surgeons throughout the world. Basic surgical techniques, including the reasons for their application, are discussed. General surgical operations are described and the indications for them are covered. Techniques are described in sufficient detail to allow a surgeon who has limited experience of a particular operation to proceed with confidence and safety. The text is thus also valuable for surgeons practising in smaller hospitals worldwide where specialised advice may not otherwise be available. This ninth edition has been fully updated with many chapters entirely rewritten. New contributing authors in the subspecialties of general surgery bring their own particular expertise to the book. Separate surgical specialties such as plastic, orthopaedic and urological surgery are covered in those areas where there is potential overlap with general surgery. Selected operative techniques in cardiothoracic, gynaecological and neurosurgery are also described as a general surgeon must occasionally operate in an emergency in the absence of the relevant surgical specialist. Advice from surgeons practising in other surgical disciplines has been extensively utilised in these sections. Key features: Fully revised edition of this classic text An unrivalled source of practical advice and information Covers all operations commonly performed by the general surgeon Practical coverage of trauma and emergencies in all surgical specialties Preserves the readable and accessible style so popular in earlier editions Illustrated throughout with over 650 high-quality operative line illustrations and photographs Combining the extensive experience of Margaret Farquharson, daughter of the original author, and Brendan Moran, both practising general surgeons at an acknowledged centre of teaching excellence, the ninth edition of Farquharsons will continue to be an essential addition to the bookshelves of trainee and practising surgeons everywhere.

First published in 1924, Muir's Textbook of Pathology has set a standard in this subject by linking the scientific aspects that underlie pathological processes, relating these to pathological changes specific to the various organ systems, and placing it all in context for students of clinical medicine and surgery. Subsequent editions have retained this popular approach, while introducing novel concepts and taking into account the evolution in the teaching of general pathology that has occurred. This fully-revised fourteenth edition maintains its clearly defined and easy-to-follow structure and includes new photographs and explanatory line diagrams, all in full color. It also retains its applicability to both systems-based and problem-based undergraduate courses. Focusing on core material presented in sufficient detail, this book is a key text for students and has significant appeal for pathology trainees. Divided into two main sections, the text opens with a series of introductory chapters on the mechanisms of general pathology before progressing to a discussion of pathology in relation to specific body systems. The emphasis on the clinical application of pathology is enhanced in this new edition through the use of clinical case studies that relate pathological mechanisms to patients, problems, and prognoses. Useful directions for further inquiry are suggested by the special study topics that appear in each chapter, while other reader-friendly aids enhance the value of the text during exam preparation. Medical students new to the topic and postgraduates looking for a ready reference to the subject will find the 14th edition of Muir's Textbook of Pathology an invaluable tool during study and in clinical practice.

This book, first published in the U.K. by T&T Clark, expands on the authors' prestigious Glasgow Gifford Lectures of 1995-6. Brooke and Cantor herein examine the many different ways in which the relationship between science and religion has been presented throughout history. They contend that, in fact, neither science nor religion is reducible to some timeless "essence"--and they deftly criticize the various master-narratives that have been put forward in support of such "essentialist" theses. Along the way, they repeatedly demolish the clichés so typical of popular histories of the science and religion debate, demonstrating the impossibility of reducing these debates to a single narrative, or of narrowing this relationship to a paradigm of conflict.
