Essential hypertension (EH) is the most common type of high blood pressure and is responsible for much death and serious illness, which has been the reason for the huge research effort to determine its causes. However, countless scientific articles still keep proclaiming that "the causese of essential hypertension remain unknown." In view of the number of publications that descend on the hypertension specialist like a waterfall, such proclamations seem to overlook the considerable amount of knowledge that we already have about the etiology of EH. The problem may be a lack of synthesis rather than a lack of information. This book brings together some of this knowledge into a coherent and clinically relevant account about the pathogenesis of EH. With an extremely broad reach, this book aims to give a balanced view of the causes of EH, its neural, genetic, and environmental causes.
This handbook is designed to help jobbing histopathologists jog their memory and get through more workload in any working day. Rapid access is facilitated by a bullet-point, tabular and diagrammatic style, as well as by handy anatomical diagrams, guidance on the ‘Cut-Up’ with emphasis on core ‘datasets’ and by a special index for frozen section advice, grading systems and scoring systems. The book provides, where useful, differential diagnosis lists and presents diagnostically helpful molecular and immunohistochemical findings. Information is kept up-to-date on a dedicated website www.pathbook.com. The Diagnostic Criteria Handbook in Histopathology is not designed to be an “exam cram” and neither will it serve as a basic text for beginners. Trainees, however, will still benefit from the sheer breadth of topics covered in this one small volume: from lab management and lab methods, to autopsy practice, cytology and all sub-specialties in surgical pathology. A chapter on exam technique and mnemonics makes the book also an essential companion for those revising for professional exams. So why clutter your precious desk space with multiple sets of heavy two-volume reference works? Give this handy Vade Mecum a place next to your microscope and see how much time you could save!
So – first things first – let’s address the sensational statement on this book’s front cover… ‘World Game-Changers Sharing Their Inspirational Stories Of Transformation’ A big claim on the surface of it, but one that is absolutely true! It’s a question of awareness, and embracing who we truly are Isn’t it also true that each and every one of us has the capacity to change lives – starting with our own – if we so choose? It's a question of Mastering the Game of Life and making a difference in our own totally unique way – bringing love and hope to the world…
In 1938 in the Depression with WWII on the horizon, movie-going audiences were riveted by ‘Angels with Dirty Faces’, the morality tale of a priest trying to stop a gangster from corrupting street kids. Flash forward to 1960s and 1970s Nottingham, England, the home of Robin Hood, where two lads who never met each other until later in life, grew up humbly and with many challenges. They both took paths that, like the gangster in the movie, led them to an extraordinary destiny as world game-changers. What did they decide to do next? Create a series of podcasts that became the basis for a book. Missional Architect, author, educator, podcaster, and Nottingham Forest fan Paul D. Lowe sits down with Nottingham Forest fan, author, sports figure, and former football hooligan Gary ‘Boatsy’ Clarke to compare childhoods, ponder fatherhood, share favourite music (they both jam to Sinatra), and reveal never-before shared secrets…and, of course, to talk football. Lots of it. There are life lessons and bouts of philosophy about the beautiful game of football, and the beautiful game of life. Gary and Paul are joined by a few friends as guest interviewers: Kristin Johnson, Keith Amoss, Mick Garton, Rebecca Wheele, Darryl Claypole, Jason Kehoe, and Andrew Batt. Think of it as a group of friends having a series of intimate chats over a cup of tea and a slice of cake. And along the way, the dirty faces fall away to reveal the angels underneath.

As global co-authors share their inspiring stories – based upon real-life experiences – they do so in the hope that readers will benefit. Hope – a ‘simple’ four-letter word, but what does it really mean? We could easily ask the same question about another word constructed by four letters – love. But wait! There’s another vital word that’s missing… what about that often mis-understood word – faith? Isn’t the reality, that these three short words – faith, hope and love – unite and go hand-in-hand? Surely, they are the trio of all-powerful influences that sustain us, even through the darkest of life’s challenges. * * * Through Speaking From Our Hearts, We Become World Game-Changers… 22 Inspiring Stories – Global Co-Authors Radiating Messages Of Hope Aimée Mosco | Andrew Batt | Bill & Jenni Burridge | Cherri Forsyth Colleen Williamson | Frank Clark | Gurveer Khabra | Janice Veech | Jeannette Linfoot Jennifer Hyde | Jephias Mundondo | John Batterby | John ‘Smudger’ Smith Kevin Searcey | Kimberlee Woods | Kristin Johnson | Martin Leifeld | Paul Hart Paul Kelly | Sally Hooper | Sharon Griffiths | Tony Courtney Brown
Practising Human Geography is critical introduction to disciplinary debates about the practice of human geography, that is informed by an inquiry into how geographers actually do research. In examining those methods and practices that are integral to doing geography, the text presents a theoretically-informed reflection on the construction and interpretation of geographical data - including factual and "fictional" sources; the use of core research methodologies; and the interpretative role of the researcher. Framed by an historical overview how ideas of practising human geography have changed, the following three sections offer an comprehensive and integrated overview of research methodologies. Illustrated throughout, the te

Apparently, there are very few certainties in life, other than one day we will die. Add-in too, the certainty that change surrounds each and every one of us, every single moment of every single day. But wait, there is a third absolute certainty too! Something that has been with us all from our earliest childhood, and been responsible for creating so much darkness and desperation in our lives - FEAR! What if we became aware though, there is an antidote to this life-limiting emotion? What if we became aware that ‘solution’ starts with the stories we tell, and most importantly, tell ourselves? * * * Through Speaking From Our Hearts, We Become World Game-Changers…

This wonderful book is filled with inspirational stories of real people doing real things to make a profound difference. If there was ever a book to inspire a new age of optimism and to catalyse a renaissance for our precious planet then this is it.” Dr Richard Gerver, Educator, Author, Speaker
Whenever we set-off on a journey, ever thought about why the vehicle always starts off and then finishes back in neutral? Perhaps we as humans, are exactly the same – we are constantly looking to reset, before embarking upon another phase of our life voyage. As the winds of change currently continue to blow throughout the world, there is an ever-increasing awareness of the all-important need for reflection upon life’s experiences and lessons learnt – to stop racing ahead uncontrollably – and get back to basics, and neutrality. In getting back to basics, maybe the time is long overdue for humans to revert back to their natural gift of being storytellers – helping each other grow, by sharing inspirational insights and words of wisdom. Maybe it’s also time to return to core values and unite as one world-wide family… ***** Through Speaking From Our Hearts, We Become World Game-Changers…
Embracing uncertainty – on the surface of it, two apparently straight-forward, stand-alone words, but what thoughts do they conjure up within us, once they are combined? Perhaps it’s fair to say – for the vast majority of people – the combination of those two ‘simple’ words contribute towards filling our hearts and minds with all kinds of dread-fuelled reactions. As humans, isn’t it true that we have a great need for certainty? This book is littered with compassionate co-authors that have dared to look at things a little differently; dive-in and be inspired! * * * Through Speaking From Our Hearts, We Become World Game-Changers…
The past – it is often said – cannot be changed. Maybe not, but we can certainly learn from it, and contribute towards co-creating a better future. Enter our mind-chatter straight away, as it defiantly bites back and defends: ‘Ah, but it’s not that easy!’ The reality is though, it is. Let’s put this into some kind of context. Everything becomes easier, once you know how. It’s a question of learning and adapting; sharing experiences and lessons learnt; built on that vital, all-important starting point – awareness. Managing change can be as simple as ABC – representing Awareness, Beliefs, and Creativity – something that is powerfully reflected in this book, as a result of compassionate co-authors from around the world sharing their own awareness and experiences. So, let’s all embrace change – and uncertainty – as life continues to present many new opportunities… * * * Through Speaking From Our Hearts, We Become World Game-Changers…
The purpose of this book – as it is with its sister World Game-Changers podcast – is to share inspirational insights and words of wisdom, so that people who are looking for self-empowering change, feel inspired to take action. So let’s start with four life-changing words: Identity – Who Am I? Ever stopped to think about how many times throughout our life, we ask ourself that timeless question? As monumental as it is, perhaps there’s an even more powerful self-serving question we can be asked: Who (On Earth) Do You Think You Are? The two words in brackets start to take on particular significance, as a group of compassionate co-authors share their own personal, life-enhancing experiences … ***** Through Speaking From Our Hearts, We Become World Game-Changers…
The light of love is an omnipotent force revered in all corners of the Universe. Attuning yourself to the frequency of love in all forms puts you in touch with a limitless and benevolent power.

They hold the keys that unlock your heart and let the divine power of love flow through you with complete freedom. This power ultimately brings you to your higher ground.
