This is a book about what it means to be a doctor, how doctors should be educated, and how doctors should strive to continue to educate themselves day by day throughout their careers. Much has been written about the technical aspects of the practice of medicine, but in this book Eugene Stead speaks to the more difficult subject of the art of the practice of medicine. A Way of Thinking reflects on how Dr. Stead saw the world of medicine and society in general during his long and productive career. The book provides a source for Stead's "way of thinking" for doctors, health care workers and patients. Most importantly, Haynes tells in clear and simple language what a doctor should be and how the doctor-patient relationship can survive and flourish--no matter what the health care system, no matter what the age.
Many children are doomed to grow up in abusive homes, whether it is living with one or more alcoholic parents or something else that provides an extremely dysfunctional home life. Some children dont know what it is like to live in a loving home environment. They might even have to fend for themselves or take on the responsibilities of an adult to help raise their neglected younger siblings while they are not yet even a teenager. The author grew up in such a home. She lived a childhood of neglect and one filled with trauma. It was a childhood full of fear and psychological abuse. When she came home from school, she often wondered whether the house would still be there or burned to the ground ...
Family. That single word can stir up strong emotions and memories. We swell with pride as we think of where we came from and contemplate the accomplishments and sacrifices of our ancestors. The ties that bind families together stretch over hundreds of years, shaping who we are today. Mary Ellen New White has accomplished a feat that most people only dream of—writing her family’s life story. Dating back to Jamestown, she chronicles the New family history all the way down to her siblings. Full of facts, dates, and stories, this volume will be treasured by all who are connected to the family.
Most components of the biosphere are continuously ex posed to oxygen from the atmosphere. Accordingly, the inex orable deterioration of all organic compounds by the slow attack of oxygen must occur. Despite this eventuality, a definitive treatment of oxygen-dependent decomposition of any single important natural product has not heretofore been made. The instant monograph attempts to provide a complete description of the autoxidation of one such impor tantnatural product, cholesterol, as the matter is currently understood. The autoxidation of cholesterol in Nature has been a matter of interest to others since the close of the nine teenth century and to me for the past three decades. In this m...

The Isoquinoline Alkaloids: Chemistry and Pharmacology presents an overview of the chemistry, biogenesis, spectroscopy, and pharmacology of the isoquinoline alkaloids. This book examines the significant and interesting aspects of alkaloids. Organized into 32 chapters, this book starts with a discussion of the biogenesis of the isoquinolines and the various pharmacological effects of simple tetrahydroisoquinolines that have stimulant and convulsive properties. This text then explores the infrared absorptions, with emphasis on wavelength and frequency. Other chapters include topics on synthesis, degradation, reactions, absolute configuration, as well as on ultraviolet and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. This book further explores the various methods available for the preparation of simple tetrahydroisoquinolines, including the Bischler–Napieralski, Pictet–Spengler, and phenolic cyclization, as well as the Friedel–Crafts acylation. The last chapter deals with ancistrocladine, which is the first isoquinoline alkaloid found to possess a methyl group. Biochemists and biophysicists will find this book useful.
