On Liberty
John Stuart Mill
5.0
Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9780140432077
Published in 1859, John Stuart Mill's On Liberty presented one of the most eloquent defenses of individual freedom in nineteenth-century social and political philosophy and is today perhaps the most widely-read liberal argument in support of the value of liberty. Mill's passionate advocacy of spontaneity, individuality, and diversity, along with his contempt for compulsory uniformity and the despotism of popular opinion, has attracted both admiration and condemnation.
…
Recommended by A C Grayling, Anne Heller, Brink Lindsey, and 8 others.
On Liberty is a very important document, and one which, because of the clarity with which one can read it and its brevity, is slightly passed over. [source]
Anne Heller
Imagine how John Stuart Mill would feel if he were made to wear a seatbelt because the federal government tells him so. [source]
Brink Lindsey
I think liberals, of both a libertarian, classical, liberal stripe and a more modern egalitarian stripe, see John Stuart Mill as a common ancestor. [source]

On Liberty and Other Essays
John Stuart Mill and John Gray
4.7
Collected here in a single volume for the first time are John Stuart Mill's On Liberty, Utilitarianism, Considerations on Representative Government, and The Subjection of Women. These essays show Mill applying his liberal utilitarian philosophy to a range of issues that remain vital today--the nature of ethics, the scope and limits of individual liberty, the merits of and costs of democratic government, and the place of women in society. In his Introduction John Gray describes these essays as applications of Mill's doctrine of the Art of Life, as set out in A System of Logic. Using the resources of recent scholarship, he shows Mill's work to be far richer and subtler than traditional interpretations allow. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Now renamed Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease, the new, 7th Edition of this classic text delivers a host of improvements that make it an even clearer choice for students and practitioners!
Pelvic congestion syndrome is one of the most misunderstood and least well-known medical conditions today. Because doctors most do not look for it, nor treat it:
1 in 3 (30%) of women with chronic pelvic pain get misdiagnosed and no treatment 1 in 6 (16.7%) of women and 1 in 30 (3%) of men with leg varicose veins get incomplete treatment and a higher risk of recurrence Women with intimate varicose veins of vagina, vulva, and labia do not get offered curative treatment However, research over the last 20 years has led us to know how we can investigate it and cure most people who have it.
Moreover, research is showing how hemorrhoids (piles), varicocele in men and some erectile dysfunction are also due to pelvic venous disorders, and how new treatments are being developed for each.
Pelvic Congestion Syndrome - Chronic Pelvic Pain and Pelvic Venous Disorders explains the concepts, the veins, how they go wrong to cause the problem - and how specialists at The Whiteley Clinic have spent 20 years developing the optimal investigations and treatments for this condition.
This book is aimed at both the public and health care professionals who want to know more about this fascinating condition that affects millions of women and men in the world today.

The Joy of Science
Jacquelyn L. Banasik PhDARNP
4.6
Science is humanity's greatest achievement. It ranges from the study of the universe itself to the smallest particles of matter contained within it - and everything in between. It explores everything from the big bang to theories about the end of the universe. If you want to better understand our physical world, as most of us do, gaining a basic understanding of science itself is profoundly important - yet many are intimidated by the breathtaking scope of such an endeavor. Now an award-winning science teacher has taken out the intimidation, harnessing that breathtaking scope into a series of 60 exciting, comprehensive, and accessible lectures that let you explore and understand the wealth of ideas, discoveries, and principles in all of the physical and biological sciences. You learn that understanding science comes from understanding not only its component disciplines - each of which has its own theories, pioneers, problems, and fundamental questions - but of knowing how these disciplines work with one another to create an entire mosaic of human knowledge. The lectures have been crafted to make those relationships crystal-clear, with an integrated approach that takes you through all of the major disciplines that fall under the umbrella of "science," including physics, chemistry, Earth science, geophysics, and biology. Each lecture covers one of the 60 fundamental principles of the scientific world - offering you new knowledge and insight into topics such as the scientific method, gravitation, atoms, the big bang, plate tectonics, volcanoes, proteins, ecosystems, and electricity.

Pathophysiology: A Clinical Approach
Carie Braun and Cindy Anderson
4.6
Emphasizing application of knowledge, active learning strategies, critical thinking, and evidence-based practice, this updated 3rd Edition of Applied Pathophysiology: A Conceptual Approach to the Mechanisms of Disease explores pathophysiology through the lens of body function concepts and what happens when function is altered through injury or disease.
This novel approach helps students understand that diseases are rarely confined to one body system and challenges them to apply what they’ve learned to a range of diseases, rather than trying to memorize facts about specific conditions. In the process, they learn to think about pathophysiology in the same way practioners do in a clinical setting—by working from symptoms to the cause, rather than the other way around.
The 3rd Edition features much that is new including a new chapter on mental illnesses, new case studies in every chapter, and a wide range of new clinically-focused features.
Updated Clinical models provide real-world examples of how pathophysiological concepts manifest themselves in the human body to help prepare students for practice.
New Just-in-time reviewsections refer students to online student resources and remediation to refresh their understanding of prerequisite A&P and Microbiology material.
New chapter-ending Case Studies (2-4 in every chapter) and related questions help students build critical thinking skills as they apply chapter material to real-world clinical scenarios.
New! Pathology Up Close features provide more detailed coverage of the cellular and tissue changes that accompany disease.
New! Clinical Practice features show students how they will apply what they are learning in real-world practice.
A new Chapter 11 on altered mood, attention, and behavior disorders prepares students for the mental illnesses they will encounter in practice.
Concept maps visually illustrate important interrelationships of key concepts, making it easy for students to visualize how things fit together.
End-of-chapter learning tools include summaries, practice exam questions, and links to general web resources and chapter references.
From the Lab boxes help students understand common laboratory procedures and results.
Stop and Consider prompts challenge students to think beyond the information presented in the textbook.
Discussion and Application sections in every chapter help students gauge their understanding of what they’ve studied.
New! Links to online student resources are called out as appropriate to provide additional practice and review.
Full-color figures and illustrations throughout the book clarify important concepts.An integrative case study at the end of the book helps students apply the complex pathophysiologic concepts they’ve learned to a common condition—diabetes mellitus.

Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ...been in part suggested. As other observations to the same effect are to be described, however, a brief restatement of the experiments previously mentioned will not be out of place, and will serve to bring all the evidence together. 1. Acid in the duodenum inhibits gastric discharge. In 1893, Hirsch, as already noted, found that inorganic acids left the stomach slowly. When he isolated the stomach, however, the acids departed as rapidly as any other fluid. He explained this difference by assuming that the stomach is controlled by acid reflexes from the duodenum. Serdjukow modified Hirsch's experiment by introducing through a duodenal fistula small quantities of acid solutions or pure gastric juice. By repeated injections it was possible to prevent discharge from the stomach for an unlimited time. Tobler's observations were closer to the normal conditions. He allowed a dog with duodenal fistula to eat 100 grammes of lean beef. The chyme as it emerged was caused to leave the duodenum through the artificial opening. The stomach was thus emptied in about two hours and fifteen to thirty minutes. The next day the dog was given the same amount of the same kind of food, but whenever a portion of the chyme came through the fistula from the stomach, a similar portion of the chyme of the day before was injected through the fistula towards the intestines. The result was that the chyme left the stomach at considerably longer intervals, and was more thoroughly digested. The time of digestion thus became lengthened to three hours and three hours and a half. Tobler's observations have been completely confirmed by Lang.34 The experiments of Hirsch, Serdjukow, Tobler, and Lang prove definitely that acid chyme in the duodenum checks the outgo from the...

Pathophysiology: Clinical Concepts of Disease Processes
Sylvia A. Price RN PhD
4.3
The new edition of this well-respected text uses a body system approach to studying diseases. This comprehensive textbook, with its traditional presentation of content, integrates basic science with clinical practice and focuses on the alterations in biologic processes that affect the body's equilibrium. Highly readable, it includes shorter, more focused chapters, and end-of-chapter study questions. A body systems approach presents the material in a logical order. Introductory chapters are included on concepts that affect all body systems to provide a foundation for understanding disease processes. Anatomy and physiology are reviewed for each body system to provide a basis for understanding the alterations in function affecting that system. Eighty-two short chapters break content into more manageable sections and make a difficult subject easier to teach and learn. Outlines with page numbers at the beginning of each chapter help students focus on the most important concepts and provide easy access to chapter content. Study questions are provided for every chapter to help students review material and assess their knowledge and understanding. Answers are included for immediate feedback. About 725 illustrations clarify difficult concepts and demonstrate normal and disease processes. 70 full-color plates depict disease manifestations and enhance the text descriptions of these conditions. - Comprehensive Key Concepts reviews at the end of each chapter help students review material. - Completely revised chapters on Heredity, Environment, and Disease (Ch. 2); Cerebrovascular Disease (Ch. 53); Adrenal Insufficiency (Ch. 62); and Infections of the Genital Tract (Ch. 66). - Extensive chapter rewrites on White Blood Cell and Plasma Cell Disorders (Ch. 18); Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System (Ch. 28); Physiology of the Cardiovascular System (Ch. 29); Cardiac Mechanical Dysfunction and Circulatory Support (Ch. 33); Seizure Disorders (Ch. 55); Pancreas: Glucose Metabolism and Diabetes Mellitus (Ch. 63); and Female Reproductive System Disorders (Ch. 64). - MERLIN website featuring Student Resources and Instructor Resources. Students will be able to access additional study questions, chapter objectives, key terms with definitions, and web links. Faculty can obtain the Instructor's Resource Manual, Test Bank, and Case Studies online. Instructor Resource materials will also be available on a CD-ROM. - Numbered boxes help students find information quicker and easier. - Additional 16 full-color plates featuring such illustrations as acute hemorrhagic gastritis (stress ulcer), appendicitis, acute pancreatitis, primary, secondary and congenital syphilis, and primary herpes, brings the total to 70 full-color plates. - Over 40 new 2-color line illustrations augment the text description of concepts and processes. - Integrates the most up-to-date research findings, diagnostic procedures and preventive measures, and current treatments throughout to demonstrate clinical application of knowledge.
