Lectures in Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Women's Health
by Gab Kovacs Paula BriggsIn his 35 years of teaching medical students and trainees Professor Gabor Kovacs, International Medical Director of Monash IVF, has devised a system of lectures which cover the entire core curriculum in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.

Each of the lectures have been based around highly informative diagrams and tables, and each syndrome follows a set template making each topic very understandable and easy to assimilate. This will be an invaluable text for medical students, nursing and midwifery students, trainees in obstetrics and gynaecology as well as sexual and reproductive health, general and nurse practitioners.

Leer la mente: El cerebro y el arte de la ficción
by Jorge VolpiEn este brillante y provocador ensayo, Jorge Volpi destierra la vieja idea de la ficción como entretenimiento y sostiene, por el contrario, que las novelas y los cuentos han sido esenciales para la evolución de la especie humana. Del reconocido escritor Jorge Volpi, autor de No será la Tierra y ganador del Premio Iberoamericano José Donoso por el conjunto de su obra. Un brillante y provocador ensayo, donde Jorge Volpi entrelaza ciencia y literatura y demuestra que todos somos ficciones y que la literatura es una de las claves de nuestra identidad individual y nuestras pasiones compartidas. ¿Qué pasa en mi cerebro cuando leo una novela o un cuento? ¿Cómo y cuándo aparecieron? ¿Qué parte de la mente inventa las anécdotas felices o los desenlaces trágicos? ¿Por qué sufrimos o gozamos con los personajes de los relatos y de qué forma nosotros, los lectores, nos transformamos en esos personajes? ¿No es acaso el yo nuestra mayor invención? Del descubrimiento de las neuronas espejo al origen de la conciencia y las emociones, y de las trampas de la memoria a los laberintos de la inteligencia, el autor de En busca de Klingsor y No será la Tierra, Jorge Volpi, refrenda su voluntad de entrelazar ciencia y literatura. Al final, Leer la mente demuestra que todos somos ficciones y que la literatura es una de las claves de nuestra identidad individual y nuestras pasiones compartidas.

Left at East Gate: A First-Hand Account of the Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident, Its Cover-up, and Investigation
by Larry Warren Peter RobbinsFeatured on two major television documentaries! In December 1980, Larry Warren was a member of the Air Force security police stationed at RAF Bentwaters, a NATO base in Great Britain. On the night of the 28th he was on guard duty when he was taken by truck to join other Air Force personnel to investigate a disturbance in a Rendlesham Forest about five miles away, which turned out to be a landed UFO. This was the third night of UFO activity in the area and by far the most profound. When the men were debriefed the next day, they were warned to tell no one about what they had seen-as "bullets are cheap." And so began what would turn out to be the best documented and most significant military-UFO incident in history. This remarkable story, told with the help of investigative writer Peter Robbins, was the basis of two blockbuster television documentaries.

Legal Strategies in Childhood Obesity Prevention
by Lynn ParkerSince 1980, childhood obesity rates have more than tripled in the United States. Recent data show that almost one-third of children over 2 years of age are already overweight or obese. While the prevalence of childhood obesity appears to have plateaued in recent years, the magnitude of the problem remains unsustainably high and represents an enormous public health concern. All options for addressing the childhood obesity epidemic must therefore be explored. In the United States, legal approaches have successfully reduced other threats to public health, such as the lack of passive restraints in automobiles and the use of tobacco. The question then arises of whether laws, regulations, and litigation can likewise be used to change practices and policies that contribute to obesity. On October 21, 2010, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) held a workshop to bring together stakeholders to discuss the current and future legal strategies aimed at combating childhood obesity. Legal Strategies in Childhood Obesity Prevention summarizes the proceedings of that workshop. The report examines the challenges involved in implementing public health initiatives by using legal strategies to elicit change. It also discusses circumstances in which legal strategies are needed and effective. This workshop was created only to explore the boundaries of potential legal approaches to address childhood obesity, and therefore, does not contain recommendations for the use of such approaches.
