Barry's Introduction to Construction of Buildings
This new edition of Barry’s Introduction to Construction of Buildings adds considerable new material but remains based on the original concept of explaining construction technology through key functional/performance requirements for the main elements common to all buildings. Of particular note in this new edition are a fully integrated approach to environmental issues and construction sustainability. The rest of the material has been updated as required, with particular attention paid to the illustrations. With over 150 new photographs and many revised figures, plus a supporting website at www.wiley.com/go/barrysintroduction, students learning the fundamentals of building and construction on undergraduate and other NQF level 5 - 6 courses will find this the ideal introduction to the subject.

One Child
'The Cartesian split of human creatures into "psyche" and "soma" has had a profoundly bad influence on the medical care of children.' In fact the concept of psychosomatic disease as a separate entirely false one, there being on illness that does not in some way affect behaviour, and no behaviour which is not in some way mediated by physiological factors. However, the subtleties of our understanding of child illness have gone much further than simply unmasking this false dichotomy. This book will now unveil the parts played by other features of the broader environment - the family, stress, socioeconomic factors - and other predicaments, including that of loving and being loved. To understand the child within these wider terms, the professionals involved in helping the child and the parents must in some way be given a new perspective, a broader view. One Child provides this perspective, stepping outside conventional presentations into the more exciting possibilities of reassessing the influences and rôles of the disease itself and the environment in which it arises. This represents challenge and will inevitably cause controversy, which should itself push the perspectives further.
Bits and Pieces of a Psychiatrist’s Life
Gathered like flotsam from an ocean of experience, Bits and Pieces of a Psychiatrist's Life is a memoir told in thought-provoking essays, poems, short stories, and scientific articles chosen for lay readers. An innovative format provides thirty-one pieces covering personal and professional themes which include "bits" of differing lengths and styles. Barry Blackwell creates a mosaic from some of the most exciting moments in the history of psychiatry and melds them in kaleidoscopic fashion with his various professional and personal roles.

Naked Poems
This slim volume is an innovative, thought-provoking, encouragement of the art and joy of reading poems. Its author is an internationally well-known psychopharmacologist who, at age eighty-two, revisits seventy-six poems derived from his personal and professional life, beginning at age fifty. The book opens by exploring the metaphor behind the title, the way in which words in poems mirror clothes in couture—each covering yet enhancing and revealing what lies beneath. In a preparatory exercise, this metaphor is expressed in four poetic forms—haiku, sonnet, classical, and free form—each examined to establish the sources of impact on the aesthetics, emotion, and intellect of the reader.
