This fourth edition expands on the success of the best-selling third edition to create the most practical and accessible ophthalmology manual for trainees, ophthalmologists, and optometrists. With its succinct, practical text, profusion of clinical photos and descriptions of procedures, the Moorfields Manual of Ophthalmology has established itself as one of the most popular and recognisable clinical resources available. The new edition has been extensively revised by internationally renowned experts to incorporate the latest advances in ophthalmic care while retaining its practical approach and compact design. Comprising 15 chapters, the book comprehensively covers a vast array of eye conditions offering step by step guidance on how to perform common ocular procedures from intravitreal injections to cataract surgery. Descriptions of procedures appear in discrete boxes, making them more prominent and accessible. Each chapter tab is colour coded to improve navigation. All content has been updated in line with current best practice. Key studies sections summarise landmark trials and their relevance to clinical practice. The triage chapter provides multiple diagnostic decision-making algorithms based on common signs and symptoms, and then refers readers to the relevant sections on management, explaining specific treatment regimens covering all important eye conditions. More than 100 additional and replacement photographs show better, clearer examples of clinical signs and new colour diagrams depict anatomic structures and procedures, further aiding diagnosis. The manual includes selective inclusion of less common diseases and treatments and provides general practitioners and optometrists with guidelines to help determine referral urgency. A comprehensive appendices section includes topics such as anaphylaxis, use of an operating microscope, surgical instruments, ophthalmic drug use in pregnancy, and much more.

This book, first published in 2001, presents a portrait of Jean Sibelius as composer and man, a figure of national and international significance, patriot, husband and father. Three introductory articles explore Sibelius's reception in Finland, performance practice and recording history, and Sibelius's aesthetic position with regard to modernity. The second group of essays examines issues of ideology, sexuality and mythology, and their relationship to musical structure and compositional genesis. Studies of the Second, Fourth, Sixth, and Seventh Symphonies are presented in the concluding section. Collectively, these articles address historical, theoretical and analytical issues in Sibelius's most important works. The analyses are supported by investigations of Sibelius's compositional process as documented by the manuscripts and sketches primarily in the Sibelius Collection of the Helsinki University Library. Exploring Sibelius's innovative approach to tonality, form and texture, the book delineates his unique brand of modernism, which has proven highly influential in the late twentieth century.

Tchaikovsky's final symphony has fascinated generations of music lovers, amateur and specialist alike, since its first performance just over a century ago. Timothy L. Jackson explores sensitively and without prejudice the question of the Pathétique's program and its relation to Tchaikovsky's homosexuality and death. The book covers the work's conception, genesis, and reception, and presents an in-depth analysis of its remarkable formal structure. The reception chapter investigates the Pathétique's impact on Tchaikovsky's younger contemporaries, most notably Mahler and Rachmaninov, and on more recent Russian composers like Shostakovich and Schnittke. Also explored is the dark side of the symphony's political interpretation in the twentieth century, especially its transformation into a cultural icon of the Third Reich.

The book contains twenty-two essays on Sibelius, written by scholars from seven countries across the Atlantic. Most of the articles were originally papers read at the Fourth International Jean Sibelius Conference, held in January 2005 at the University of North Texas, in Denton. The book is divided into four sections: Historical and Cultural Studies, Analytical Studies, Source Studies, Reception and Interpretation. The chapters in this book reflect, in their contents and standpoints, the different musicological and music analytical trends current in Europe and the North America; they thereby offer a compelling cross-section of the manifold approaches to Sibelius studies.
