By: Nicholas Karolides

Frontline Cardiology

An Off-the-fence Guide for Those who Need a Definitive Answer to "what Do I Do Next?"

By: Nicholas G. Fisher,Nick Fisher

This title is edited by a British author from chapters written by cardiologists working in the UK. This handbook - which has been formally adopted by the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Trust - is a homunculus of cardiology knowledge, based on the experience of the authors with the sole aim of helping the reader make a decision when faced with the daily challenges of cardiology. Living in an age where access to the latest trial data is immediate, for many people lack of knowledge is not the problem, instead it is inadequate experience that holds them back from making a decision based on that knowledge. The Editor calls this 'evidence based paralysis'- sometimes you don't want to know what a group of experts decided in the latest trial but simply want to know what to do next. Obviously there is no substitute for experience but to help you along the way this book will help you 'get off the fence' and indicate what the authors have done in similar situations. Written by a doctor involved in every day real life cardiology, designed for all junior doctors, primary care physicians and nursing staff involved with cardiological problems Sorts the 'wheat from the chaff' and says it how it really is Designed to cure people who suffer from 'evidence based paralysis'! Content approved and adopted by two NHS Trusts Material based on national and international guidelines Deals not only with the prevailing evidence regarding 'best practice', but highlights common misconceptions and well known 'short-cuts' to try to resist! Covers ACS and first line treatment for MI in the emergency room Includes diagnostic angiography and angioplasty Addresses the primary and secondary management of MI Includes practical discussion of lipid disorders, hypertension and risk stratification Addresses heart failure, chronic valve disease and cardiomyopathies Discusses the use of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators, heart transplant and VAD Includes common drug interactions Addresses the management of adults with congenital heart disease

Protein NMR Spectroscopy

Principles and Practice

By: John Cavanagh,Nicholas J. Skelton,Wayne J. Fairbrother,Mark Rance,Arthur G. Palmer III

Protein NMR Spectroscopy, Second Edition combines a comprehensive theoretical treatment of NMR spectroscopy with an extensive exposition of the experimental techniques applicable to proteins and other biological macromolecules in solution. Beginning with simple theoretical models and experimental techniques, the book develops the complete repertoire of theoretical principles and experimental techniques necessary for understanding and implementing the most sophisticated NMR experiments.

Terrae-filius, Or, The Secret History of the University of Oxford, 1721-1726

By: Nicholas Amhurst

Although Amhurst was often dismissed by nineteenth-century historians of Oxford as a bitter "slanderer of his university," his work stands as the single most important and reliable contemporarily published account of life in early eighteenth-century Oxford. The Terrae-Filius essays, despite their satirical bent, also demonstrate that Amhurst had a deep respect for the institution and a clear vision of the intellectual ideas it should embody. This modern critical edition reprints all fifty-three Terrae-Filius essays (including the three omitted from the 1726 collected editions) and provides an introduction and extensive explanatory notes that set the essays in their historical and cultural context."--BOOK JACKET.

David Bowie, Enid Blyton and the sun machine

By: Nicholas Royle

In this one-of-a-kind book, novelist and academic Nicholas Royle brings together two remarkably different creative figures: Enid Blyton and David Bowie. His exploration of their lives and work delves deeply into questions about the value of art, music and literature, as well as the role of universities in society. Blending elements of memoir and cultural commentary, Royle creates a tender and often hilarious portrait of family life during the pandemic, weaving it together with musings on dreams, second-hand bookshops and unpublished photos of Bowie taken by Stephen Finer. He also shares previously unrecorded details about Blyton’s personal life, notably her love affair with Royle’s grandmother. David Bowie, Enid Blyton and the sun machine offers a singular perspective on the cultural significance of two iconic figures. In doing so, it makes a compelling case for the power of storytelling and music to shape our lives.

History of Men's Fashion

What the Well Dressed Man is Wearing

By: Nicholas Storey

“Anyone aiming for timeless elegance, rather than temporary chic, will benefit from Storey’s authoritative, but readable book.” —Esquire Everything you ever wanted to know about men’s clothing—and so much more—from the exact hour Nelson lost his right eye to the type of palm needed for a Panama hat, what Cary Grant’s tailor had to do to his shoulders—and those all-important questions of what to where, when and why, including when to wear a bow tie (surely never is the only answer?). A quirky book full of facts that you never realised you needed to know, including the exact thickness of animal hair used to create must-have fashion items, including suits. Provocative, and controversial at times but always very well dressed. “Mr. Storey, a barrister, offers a compendium of correct garments for all occasions, plus the best places to bespeak them, as well as anecdotes from films, books, royalty, and the beau monde . . . He solves every quandary, from proper ‘full-fig’ (white tie) to the right (grey) topper for Ascot, to where to get and wear tweed. It is all here. Hats off.” —Country Life “Leaders of fashion all share one thing in common: a discerning penchant for the English sartorial standard. This book covers all the main areas rather well, just how Beau Brummell would have specified.” —Maxim “Pokes gentle fun at men’s fashions through the last two centuries . . . This is popular history at its very best, amusing, entertaining, enlightening, and very, very funny . . . It’s a brilliant book!” —Books Monthly

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

iBauhaus

The iPhone as the Embodiment of Bauhaus Ideals and Design

By: Nicholas Fox Weber

A rich, wide-ranging meditation on the iPhone as direct descendant of the 1930s Bauhaus, one of the twentieth century's most influential schools of art and design (summed up in Mies van der Rohe's dictum, "less is more") whose principle aim was to connect art and industry. From one of the leading authorities on the Bauhaus and modernism. Nicholas Fox Weber, in this deft, entertaining, and brilliant rumination on art and technology, writes of the iPhone as the essence of the Bauhaus principles of form following function--of honesty of design and materials that reflect the true nature of objects and buildings, favoring linear and geometrical forms; adhering to line, shape, and colors; synthesizing art to modern times; the fusion in design of art and technology. Weber, an authority and celebrant of twentieth-century modernism, ranging from the paintings of Balthus to the architecture of Le Corbusier, was a close associate of Anni and Josef Albers, the last living giants of the Bauhaus, and absorbed firsthand its truest beliefs. The Alberses emphasized their passion for "good design over bad art." Anni, a groundbreaking textile artist and printmaker, and Josef, a painter and color theorist and influential art teacher, stuck to "what was taught at the Bauhaus: the right use of materials, good technique, a purpose that serves all." Weber writes that the Bauhaus was not a style but an attitude: clear design and visual acuity as the embodiment of morality and honesty. And in iBauhaus, Weber explores how the iPhone, with its effective design and its versatility, honors these deepest beliefs, as well as the values that the Bauhaus sought to give to the world.
