The introduction of these new chapters provides excellent clinical relevance for readers while this book continues to provide accessible up-to-date explanations of neuroscience.All in all, the second edition of "Neuroscience at a Glance" provides students with an invaluable review of this complex subject. '"Neuroscience at a Glance" gives you just the right amount of information presented in a student-friendly format...There is also a free online companion to the book containing glossaries and relevant further reading signposts which I found useful.
In my opinion, it gives the student everything needed to learn about and understand the working of the brain and spinal cord without bogging you down by over-complicating things. 'Neuroscience'.. would have been much easier to understand if I had this book' - "Barts and the London Chronicle".

Shiatsu for Midwives
Suzanne Yates , Tricia Anderson
editore: Books for Midwives
pagine: 208
This book provides an in-depth guide to how shiatsu can form part of modern maternity care. Based on traditional Chinese and Japanese approaches to health, shiatsu can be used to alleviate many of the chronic symptoms of pregnancy, such as backache, insomnia and morning sickness. It can also help during labour and birth, as well as relieve postnatal problems, such as heavy postpartum bleeding or difficulties with lactation. A shiatsu treatment simply encourages the body to balance its own natural energy by gentle stimulation of its energy pathways, the meridians - the same pathways used in acupuncture. The age-old midwifery skills of touching and stroking are an intrinsic part of nurturing and cherishing - the essence of 'being with woman'. Shiatsu takes this simple healing technique one stage further. You will find tips on how to use core midwifery skills of touch, gentle pressure and massage in a more systematic and focused way. The authors also discuss the actions necessary to establish its use in a maternity unit, including training and professional issues. Suzanne Yates is the leading shiatsu teacher world-wide to have made maternity work her main focus.
She has been working with midwives and pregnant women for the last 13 years and developed a course of applied shiatsu for midwives that fulfils NMC requirements for training. Tricia Anderson, midwife lecturer and supervisor and past editor of "Practising Midwife", has collaborated with her to ensure the content is appropriate to midwives' "Code of Practice". This is a key text for anyone wishing to explore this new area.
