"A must-read for anyone interested in the intrigue of politics in the most dangerous country on earth" (The Sunday Times)Read the unique insider's view of a country unfamiliar to a Western audience, seen through the eyes of the man set to become Pakistan's new Prime Minister.Born only five years after Pakistan was created in 1947, Imran Khan has lived his country's history. Undermined by a ruling elite, and unable to protect its people from the carnage of regular bombings from terrorists and its own ally, America, Pakistan has for years suffered from instability. Now Imran Khan and his own political party, the Tehreek-e-Insaf, offer a real political alternative for the people of Pakistan at a time when tension between Pakistan's government and the powerful military has reached dangerous new levels. How did this flashpoint of volatility and injustice come about?Pakistan: A Personal History provides a unique insider's view of a country unfamiliar to a western audience. Woven into this history we see how Imran Khan's personal life - his happy childhood in Lahore, his Oxford education, his extraordinary cricketing career, his marriage to Jemima Goldsmith, his mother's influence and that of his Islamic faith - inform both the historical narrativeandhis current philanthropic and political activities. It is at once absorbing and insightful, casting fresh light upon a country whose culture he believes is largely misunderstood by the West.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers tremendous opportunities to transform healthcare by reducing human error, supporting medical professionals, and providing continuous patient services. With ongoing advancements, AI has demonstrated significant potential in medical imaging, such as interpreting X-rays, scans, and other diagnostics, as well as assisting in disease identification and treatment planning. Beyond clinical applications, AI is streamlining healthcare operations—from managing patient interactions and answering queries to analyzing population-level health data and predicting emerging health trends.The book, Artificial Intelligence in Biomedical Sciences and Healthcare, will serve as a comprehensive collection of current research on AI and its applications across diverse areas of biochemical and medical sciences. It will not only present recent advances in AI but also introduce the foundational concepts of biomedical sciences and machine learning, enabling students and professionals to better grasp these interdisciplinary fields.Furthermore, the book will address real-world challenges in healthcare—such as diagnostics, treatment, and disease management—and illustrate how AI-driven techniques can provide innovative solutions. This volume aims to serve as a valuable reference for students, researchers, academicians, and professionals engaged in biomedical sciences and AI.

Clinical Scenarios in Adult Cardiac Surgery bridges the gap between conventional casebooks and real-world surgical decision-making to offer a realistic picture of the challenges faced by cardiac surgeons. Formatted to emphasize strategic thinking and problem-solving when dealing with more complex patients, it will help enhance decision-making abilities with thought-provoking cases and explanations of surgical concepts in routine practice.Surgeons are increasingly required to manage more high-risk patients, navigate unpredictable intraoperative findings, and keep abreast of the evolving evidence, and adult cardiac surgical patients often pose challenges. With a focus on scenarios that are not straightforward, this book encourages critical analysis and multifaceted approaches to patient management, to help prepare cardiac surgeons for real-world practice and aid residents when preparing for their exit examinations.Addressing both the core concepts and complex situations that demand higher-order thinking, Clinical Scenarios in Adult Cardiac Surgery is an effective resource for cardiac surgeons and those training in adult cardiac surgery, as well as cardiologists and nurses involved in the care of cardiac surgical patients.

AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES Addressing the current challenges, approaches and applications relating to autonomous vehicles, this groundbreaking new volume presents the research and techniques in this growing area, using Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This book provides and addresses the current challenges, approaches, and applications relating to autonomous vehicles, using Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, deep learning, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. Several self-driving or autonomous (“driverless”) cars, trucks, and drones incorporate a variety of IoT devices and sensing technologies such as sensors, gyroscopes, cloud computing, and fog layer, allowing the vehicles to sense, process, and maintain massive amounts of data on traffic, routes, suitable times to travel, potholes, sharp turns, and robots for pipe inspection in the construction and mining industries. Few books are available on the practical applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and autonomous vehicles from a multidisciplinary approach. Further, the available books only cover a few applications and designs in a very limited scope. This new, groundbreaking volume covers real-life applications, business modeling, issues, and solutions that the engineer or industry professional faces every day that can be transformed using intelligent systems design of autonomous systems. Whether for the student, veteran engineer, or another industry professional, this book, and its companion volume, are must-haves for any library.
