Principles and Practice of Palliative Care and Supportive Oncology
Unlike other textbooks on this subject, which are more focused on end of life, the 4th edition of Principles and Practice of Palliative Care and Supportive Oncology focuses on supportive oncology. In fact, the goal of this textbook is to provide a source of both help and inspiration to all those who care for patients with cancer. Written in a more reader-friendly format, this textbook not only offers authoritative and up-to-date reviews of research and clinical care best practices, but also practical clinical applications to help readers put everything they learn to use.

Irwin and Rippe's Intensive Care Medicine
Virtually every chapter has been extensively rewritten and updated to reflect contemporary principles, protocols, and techniques. Sections related to all aspects of surgical intensive care have been expanded, and sections on shock and trauma, coronary care, neurologic problems, rheumatologic and immunologic problems, and psychiatric issues have been fundamentally rewritten. The toxicology and pharmacology sections have been combined into a 38-chapter section entitled Pharmacology, Overdoses, and Poisonings, which represents a complete ICU textbook on these topics. The popular opening section -- a 30-chapter atlas of procedures and techniques -- has been updated with new illustrations and descriptions of state-of-the-art techniques.
Overlapping Pain and Psychiatric Syndromes
Chronic pain seldom presents alone. Pain patients frequently have comorbid psychiatric conditions and those suffering from mental illness often experience pain. Nonetheless, pain conditions and psychiatric disorders have customarily been understood and treated as different and separate clinical entities, to the detriment of patients' wellbeing. This book will describe the complex and striking relationships between pain and psychiatric disorders, offering the first comprehensive review of the challenging and neglected intersection between pain medicine and psychiatry. Written by world-renowned experts in the fields of pain and psychiatry, chapters contribute a valuable array of clinical and theoretical perspectives and include illustrative case examples throughout.

Aging and the Life Course
Aging & the Life Course: Social & Cultural Contexts provides an accessible, up-to-date introduction to the study of aging and the life course from a distinctly sociological perspective. It explores the sociocultural dimensions of aging while encouraging critical thinking about the diversity of aging experiences, societal attitudes toward older adults, the politics and economics of growing old, and end-of-life resources. Throughout the text, Deborah Lowry emphasizes the relevance of the material for working with older populations, understanding social policy and policy debates, improving communities, relating to others, and understanding ourselves. Organized into four major sections, Part I introduces students to fundamental demographic, sociological, and life course concepts; part II explores the experiences and conditions of aging, especially in particular groups; and part III presents current research on older adults’ engagement in work, family, social networks, and sex. Finally, Part IV addresses themes of aging and social change.
