Psychopathology is a complicated subject, and "Symptoms in the Mind" has become one of the standard texts in the field both in Europe and Worldwide. The new edition continues to provide a concise and comprehensive introduction to descriptive psychopathology - the basis of clinical psychiatry. New developments in this area , in particular in neuro-imaging, have resulted in the linking of psychopathological symptoms to specific brain changes and these findings are included in the book. In addition there is increased coverage of the controversial area of multiple personality syndrome. "Symptoms in the Mind 3e" links classical description with more modern work in psychopathology. It is also complementary to the US Standard DSM-IV. Written primarily for psychiatrists, particularly those in training, this book will also be of interest to those working in related mental health professions such as clinical psychology, psychiatric nursing, mental health social work and occupational therapy.

The determination of skeletal maturity (bone age) has an important place in the practice of paediatrics, particularly in relation to endocrinological problems and growth disorders. It is frequently used in diagnosis (eg short children with growth delay) and in monitoring treatment in conditions such as hypothyroidism and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. This is a comprehensive and practical guide to assessing skeletal maturity and predicting adult height in children. It takes the reader through the main scoring systems and illustrates, by way of radiographs, the main stages of bone maturity in both sexes. A free CD-Rom containing a growth height prediction programme is included so that predictions of growth height can be made automatically for each patient. Data can be also stored for comparison as the patient grows.

It is the ideal resource for those interested in equine exercise physiology: undergraduate and post-graduate students in exercise science, comparative physiology, biology and veterinary science; veterinary students; horse trainers and owners of sport horses; journalists writing in equine specialty magazines; and interested lay persons.

This colour atlas is designed as a reference for the morphologic aspects of veterinary hematology of common domestic animals. It covers a variety of species, including dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and llamas. The atlas is divided into two sections: the first covers blood, while the second discusses bone marrow. Techniques for the collection and preparation of blood and bone marrow spears and bone marrow core biopsies are covered, in addition to the morphology of the tissues collected. Often, multiple examples of a cell type or abnormal condition are shown to illustrate the variance in morphology.
