Enormous progress in asthma research has been made in the past 50 years, including a greater understanding of its complex pathogenesis and new and more effective therapies. Consequently, the scientific literature has grown vast and can be difficult to integrate. With contributions from a distinguished panel of world-renowned authors, Clinical Asthma: Theory and Practice presents a comprehensive study of both the common and the more challenging problems faced by all health care personnel who treat patients with asthma. The book is divided into seven sections, starting with the basics of asthma and ending with a discussion on the approach to asthma worldwide and in the primary care setting. Reflecting a strong clinical emphasis, each chapter begins with a patient case study supported by essential background information on the basic science and clinical decision-making process. This is followed by a discussion of clinical evaluation and management. The multidisciplinary coverage explores a range of topics including genetics, inflammation, immunology, and the identification of different endotypes. Using a bench-to-bedside approach, the book links basic science to the clinical management of asthma and explores options for improvement. The carefully selected authorship from experts worldwide presents a truly global outlook.

There are extraordinary ideas inside your head but you’re blocking them. Left to it’s own devices, your brain shies away from the unfamiliar and unconventional. To grab the treasure in your mind, you have to distract your brain.

For Mark Levy, the answer is freewriting. It’s a deceptively simple technique: just start writing about something you care about. Anything. Forget about grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Set the timer and go.

But it’s far trickier than it sounds. We all have an internal editor that censors our thoughts before they hit paper. Levy shares six secrets designed to knock this editor out and let your inner genius run free. He also includes problem solving and creativity stimulating principles you can use if you get stuck seven of which are new to this edition.

Also new to this edition is an extensive section on taking your raw unfiltered freewriting and refining it into something you can share with the world. Although freewriting’s roots are as a private brainstorming technique, Mark and his clients have found that, with some tweaking, it’s a great way to generate ideas for articles, blog posts, presentations, even books.

Our first reaction to a problem is often to tackle it head-on. Mark Levy says that’s wrong your head might be the problem. Freewriting offers a way to trick your conscious mind into letting your unconscious generate more ideas than you ever thought possible.

Price review disputes have become an increasingly prominent feature in gas and LNG markets over the past decade. While the first wave of disputes were driven by the 'triple whammy' of recession, US shale gas and the liberalisation of the gas markets in Europe, further waves have followed with the development of increasingly liquid trading hubs across Europe, ongoing volatility in commodity prices and the continuing influx of liquefied natural gas (LNG) into Europe. And the trends previously seen in Europe are starting to be replicated in Asian markets. This practical second edition will cover the various aspects of international gas pricing disputes. It contains contributions from leading international arbitration practitioners and arbitrators in the field, in-house counsel and industry experts. It covers the various stages of a gas pricing dispute, from drafting the clause to triggering a review, all the way through the various stages of the arbitral process. It also builds on the first edition by containing insights into more substantive topics such as hub indexation, the impact on pricing of non-price terms like destination flexibility, and the differences between gas and LNG price reviews. Despite the large number of high-value disputes in this area, this is one of the very few publications to draw together the various strands of gas pricing disputes into one book. It is therefore an invaluable guide for practitioners, in-house counsel and anyone else with an interest in this area.
