This pocket book is written primarily for doctors with little or no experience in the accident and emergency department and who are faced with the problem of radiological interpretation when no other help is readily at hand. Step-by-step methods for the assessment of radiographs help to answer the question "these look normal to me, but how can I be sure that I am not overlooking a subtle but important abnormality?" The book is liberally illustrated with high quality, well-annotated radiographs which assist the reader in the interpretation of abnormal/normal radiographic appearances. The focus is on common areas of injury with the emphasis being placed on the detection of those abnormalities that are most commonly overlooked or misinterpreted. Each chapter deals with the basic radiographs required, important anatomy, normal variants, a system for inspecting suggested views, types of injury and ends with a summary of key points

Ben Fogle's life has been action-packed to say the least. He has rowed across the Atlantic, walked to the South Pole, run the Sahara and ice-skated across Sweden. He has encountered isolated tribes in deepest Papua New Guinea, caused a Boeing 747 to dump GBP100k of fuel before making an emergency landing in Sao Paolo, and frequently been mistaken for Prince William along the way. So how did a cripplingly shy, geeky, perennially homesick boy end up doing all this? Ben's still not entirely sure himself, but this wonderful book tells his story and will strike a chord with anyone puzzling about life, and how to live it differently. This is a book about defying expectations, conquering fears, battling laziness and, just occasionally, winning.
Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg - an awkward maths prodigy and a painfully shy computer genius - were never going to fit in at elite, polished Harvard. Yet that all changed when master-hacker Mark crashed the university's entire computer system by creating a rateable database of female students. Narrowly escaping expulsion, the two misfits refocused the site into something less controversial - 'The Facebook' - and watched as it spread like a wildfire across campuses around the country, along with their popularity. Yet amidst the dizzying levels of cash and glamour, as silicon valley, venture capitalists and reams of girls beckoned, the first cracks in their friendship started to appear, and what began as a simple argument spiralled into an out-and-out war. The great irony is that Facebook succeeded by bringing people together - but its very success tore two best friends apart.

Many of us assume that our creative process is beyond our ability to influence, and pay attention to it only when it isn't working properly. For the most part, we go about our daily tasks and everything just "works." Until it doesn't. Adding to this lack of understanding is the rapidly accelerating pace of work. Each day we are face escalating expectations and a continual squeeze to do more with less. We are asked to produce an ever-increasing amount of brilliance in an ever-shrinking amount of time. There is an unspoken (or spoken!) expectation that we'll be accessible 24/7, and as a result we frequently feel like we're "always on." Now business creativity expert Todd Henry explains how to unleash your creative potential. Whether you're a creative by trade or an "accidental creative," this book will help you quickly and effectively integrate new ideas into your daily life.

Una nouvelle sexy y adictiva sobre las trampas del amor y la atracción. Cuando se conocen, ambos tienen pareja. Pero se gustan. O eso parece. Al menos lo suficiente como para poner en marcha un mecanismo imparable a pesar de la evidente imposibilidad. El mismo engranaje que entra en funcionamiento cada vez que la razón se nubla y el deseo o la imperiosa necesidad de gustar se impone. El accidente cuenta el vértigo de lo que ocurre en los primeros compases del enamoramiento y deja al descubierto la universalidad de ciertos rituales de seducción. Blanca Lacasa se adentra por primera vez en la ficción con este adictivo relato sobre el anhelo, la romantización del deseo y el riesgo de sucumbir a los caprichos de algunas conquistas. Una nouvelle sexy y llena de humor que funciona casi como una radiografía: difícil no reconocer en ella las tácticas a las que recurrimos para enfrentarnos a atracciones tan misteriosas como obsesivas. «Si alguna vez te han roto el corazón, esta es tu novela. Irónica y trágica, sutil y brillante.» Marc Giró «Lacasa nos arrastra como un torbellino hacia el delirio de los arranques amorosos con el ojo de quien sabe observar (y comprender) los comportamientos más absurdos y pueriles y los sentimientos más elevados del ser humano. Una joyita.» Beatriz Serrano «Un minucioso relato sobre algo que todos hemos vivido: la confusión de un enamoramiento que no llega a expandirse.» Alba Muñoz

If you read the 'business pages' of a newspaper or if you listen to the financial news on the television or radio, you will often hear terms such as 'liability', 'balance sheet' or 'earnings'.
