Ann Scott – författare

Sir William Richard Gowers was one of the pre-eminent clinical neurologists of the nineteenth century. He is best remembered for his discovery of the eponymous 'Gowers' sign', for his invention of the patella hammer, and for authoring the classic two-volume neurology textbook Manual of Diseases of the Nervous System. To date Dr Gowers has been the subject of only one published biography, while some aspects of Gowers' work have been chronicled in historical works regarding the history of neurology. This book goes into greater detail than ever, presenting the life story behind a great Victorian brain. Generously illustrated throughout with family photographs and original sketches, the authors cover Gowers' early years, his clinical work at Queen Square, his accolades, and friendships with explorers and famous authors. Co-authored by an academic with special access to the Gowers family archives and two leading neurologists, this book is the first definitive reference work on the life of William Richard Gowers, and will be of great interest to neurologists, neuroscientists, medical historians, and laypersons with an interest in neurology and mental illness.

Reflecting the latest research and practices, BODY STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS – Anatomy and Physiology, 14th edition, provides a thorough overview of the basics required for the study of the human body and how it functions. With an all-new Chapter 1: Scientific Foundations and Lab Practices, the 14th edition is aligned to National Healthcare Foundation Standards as well as NGSS Next Generation Science Standards to meet the needs of future health professionals as well as scientific laboratory requirements. The text walks students step-by-step through a general introduction to life functions, terminology and phonetic pronunciations used to describe body parts, and a review of human development and body processes. The One Body feature describes the interrelationship between all body systems while career Profiles give students insight into growing health care professions. In addition, Diverse Artwork has been added to update photographs, drawings, and figures to showcase diverse patients to offer a more realistic view of human body varying in age, race, weight, height and gender.MindTap, the online solution for Career and Technical Education, includes a full, interactive eBook, annotation and study tools, videos, practice and auto-graded assessment as well as Learning Lab simulations for Anatomy & Physiology, designed to immerse and engage students in real-world scenarios with health care professionals and patients as they describe symptoms across the body systems and engage in learning activities to understand anatomy basics and clinical applications.

Written and designed specifically for allied health students, BODY STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS UPDATED, 13th edition, equips you to the basics required for the study of the human body and how it functions. It provides a clear introduction to life functions, medical terminology and phonetic pronunciations as well as a thorough review of human development and body processes. Diseases and disorders are integrated within each body system chapter to link physiology with anatomy. A media link feature connects you to 3-D anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology animations that bring chapter concepts to life, while detailed Career Profiles give you an inside look at the many health care professions available today. In addition, hands-on activities and case studies emphasize clinical applications, giving you a realistic view of situations you will face on the job.

They can make it their own with notes, highlights and links to their wider reading. Perfect for supporting revision activities. Student Book 1 supports a standalone AS course and provides the first year of a two-year A level course; Student Books 1and 2 together support the full A level course. A cumulative approach to learning constantly builds on what has previously been learnt.  Each topic is introduced within a wider context. Concepts are revisited and developed in later topics. Integrated math sand stats support directs students to online maths resources. Thinking Bigger spreads require students to use knowledge in new contexts and think about connections and  develop essential assessment skills throughout course. Real-life articles engage students with current biological writing and develop scientific literacy skills needed for A level and beyond. Checkpoints consolidate knowledge through summarizing tasks Practical activities provide opportunities for students to practise their skills and develop understanding of practical requirements. Material has been updated to reflect revisions, additions and deletions to changes in the subject content.

 

Paris, late 90s: at the centre of the city's queer techno scene, musician Louise lives in a haze of parties, drugs and hooking up.

Pulled between her ex-boyfriend Nikki and her old life in rock bands and a volatile new crush in her techno world, Louise begins careening off the rails, leaving chaos in her wake.Raw, caustic and pulsing with the music that enraptured a generation, Superstars is an electrifying immersion in Paris's 90s rave scene by a cult author who lived it all.
