The principles of chemical oceanography provide insight into the processes regulating the marine carbon cycle. The text offers a background in chemical oceanography and a description of how chemical elements in seawater and ocean sediments are used as tracers of physical, biological, chemical and geological processes in the ocean. The first seven chapters present basic topics of thermodynamics, isotope systematics and carbonate chemistry, and explain the influence of life on ocean chemistry and how it has evolved in the recent (glacial-interglacial) past. This is followed by topics essential to understanding the carbon cycle, including organic geochemistry, air-sea gas exchange, diffusion and reaction kinetics, the marine and atmosphere carbon cycle and diagenesis in marine sediments. Figures are available to download from www.cambridge.org/9780521833134. Ideal as a textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduates in oceanography, environmental chemistry, geochemistry and earth science and a valuable reference for researchers in oceanography.
The diagnosis of mental illness is frequently accompanied by sleep problems; conversely, people experiencing sleep problems may subsequently develop mental illness. Sleep and Mental Illness looks at this close correlation and considers the implications of research findings that have emerged in the last few years. Additionally, it surveys the essential concepts and practical tools required to deal with sleep and co-morbid psychiatric problems. The volume is divided into three main sections: basic science, neuroendocrinology, and clinical science. Included are over 30 chapters on topics such as neuropharmacology, insomnia, depression, dementia, autism, and schizophrenia. Relevant questionnaires for the assessment of sleep disorders, including quality-of-life measurement tools, are provided. There is also a summary table of drugs for treating sleep disorders. This interdisciplinary text will be of interest to clinicians working in psychiatry, behavioral sleep medicine, neurology, pulmonary and critical care medicine.

This title is the first comprehensive book on sampling and modern sample preparation techniques and has several main objectives: to facilitate recognition of sample preparation as both an integral part of the analytical process; to present a fundamental basis and unified theoretical approach for the professional development of sample preparation; to emphasize new developments in sample preparation technology; and to highlight the future impact of sample preparation on new directions in analytical science, particularly automation, miniaturization and field implementation. Until recently, there has been relatively little scientific interest in sampling and sample preparation, however this situ...
The leading reference text entirely devoted to this increasinglysignificant condition This text is dedicated to Barrett’s esophagus and providesrecent evidence and current approaches to patient management. Ithas been completely revised, updated and extended to include thelatest research findings and describes how these affect day-to-dayclinical practice. It includes seven new chapters and even more color images thanthe last edition. Each chapter, written by the leadinginternational experts in the field, provides clear, didacticguidance on diagnosis, treatment and management of thiscondition. Barrett’s Espohagus gives an extensive overviewcovering epidemiology, screening, pathology, gastroenterology andsurgery. It looks at the precursor lesions leading to thedevelopment of Barrett’s epithelium, the uniquecharacteristics of Barrett’s esophagus, and the consequencesof malignant degeneration. All aspects of diagnosis, secondaryprevention, multimodality, and medical and surgical treatment areclearly explained. This is a complete guide on the latest thinking on diagnosis andtreatment of Barrett’s esophagus which can be referred toover and over again.
