Veterinary medicine: small animals (pets)January 2012Small Animal Soft Tissue Surgery
by Donald Yool
Small Animal Soft Tissue Surgery provides an introduction to the fundamentals of small animal soft tissue surgery, covering the core principles that underpin all surgery, and key areas of general soft tissue surgery undertaken in general small animal practice. Emphasis is placed on current veterinary practice, the application of basic principles and the importance of patient assessment and appropriate decision making. With a practical focus, the book provides a clear, well-illustrated description of a readily applicable technique for each of the potential problems that face new graduates within non-specialist practices. The learning outcomes at the start of each section define the key areas for undergraduates to focus on and self-assessment MCQs at the end of each section help re-inforce learning outcomes. The text also contains information to enable newly qualified graduates to assess more complex conditions that are frequently encountered in small animal practice. For many practitioners who do not develop a strong interest in more advanced surgery, this text will provide a solid surgical text to last throughout their veterinary career. To enhance accessibility to undergraduate students, the text will emphasise the application of a small number of key principles and limit detailed descriptions to a reduced number of key procedures.

Biography & True StoriesSeptember 2024Bedsit land
The strange worlds of Soft Cell
by Patrick Clarke
A rich and revealing examination of the legendary pop duo Soft Cell. Soft Cell are not your average pop band. Marc Almond and Dave Ball may be best known for the string of hits they released in 1981, but the powerful first phase of their collaboration embraced a staggering array of sounds, influences and innovations that would change the face of music to come. In Bedsit land, Patrick Clarke plunges into the archives and interviews more than sixty contributors, including the band members themselves, to follow Soft Cell through the many strange and sprawling worlds that shaped their extraordinary career. They lead him from the faded camp glamour of the British seaside to the dizzying thrills of the New York club scene. From transgressive student performance art to the sleaze and squalor of pre-gentrified Soho. From the glitz of British showbiz to the drug-addled chaos of post-Franco Spain. He emerges on the other side with the most in-depth, innovative and entertaining account of the duo ever written.

September 2002Die Sprache der Leidenschaft
by Mario Vargas Llosa, Ulrich Kunzmann, Mario Vargas Llosa
Mit 14 Jahren veröffentlichte Mario Vargas Llosa seinen ersten Artikel, und seitdem ist er als Redakteur, Reporter und Kolumnist dem Journalismus verbunden geblieben. Zu ihm bekennt er sich als dem »treuen Schatten« seiner schriftstellerischen Arbeit – ein glanzvoller Schatten, nach diesem Buch zu urteilen.Eindringlich zeigen die Texte, die er zwischen 1992 und 2000 für El País geschrieben hat, das Interesse und Engagement des weltberühmten Romanciers für bedeutende und beunruhigende, doch auch für amüsante und skurrile Zeitereignisse: vom Karneval in Rio bis zur Intifada in Hebron, Probleme der Dritten und der Ersten Welt, die Debatte über Sterbehilfe und der Selbstmord der venezolanischen Nation, das elisabethanische Theater oder die Malerei der Impressionisten, die französische Hochkultur ebenso wie eine herzergreifende englische Trivialautorin ...Im Vorwort erklärt Vargas Llosa: »Als Titel benutze ich die überschrift meiner kleinen Laudatio auf Octavio Paz – doch nicht deshalb, weil ich diese Texte in einer leidenschaftlich kämpferischen Haltung geschrieben hätte. Tatsächlich versuche ich immer, so leidenschaftslos wie möglich zu schreiben, denn ich weiß ja, daß ein hitziges Temperament, klare Ideen und eine gute Prosa unvereinbar sind, wenn mir solche Nonchalance auch nicht immer gelingt. Jedenfalls ist den Artikeln die Leidenschaft nicht fremd, gehe ich nach den heftigen Erwiderungen, die sie bei den unterschiedlichsten Leuten hervorgerufen haben. Solche Reaktionen zeigen, denke ich, die Unabhängigkeit und Freiheit, mit der ich derartige Texte schreibe.«

Business, Economics & LawJanuary 2023What a waste
Outsourcing and how it goes wrong
by Andrew Bowman, Ismail Ertürk, Peter Folkman, Julie Froud, Colin Haslam, Sukhdev Johal, Adam Leaver, Mick Moran, Nick Tsitsianis, Karel Williams
This is the first ever book to analyse outsourcing - contracting out public services to private business interests. It is an unacknowledged revolution in the British economy, and it has happened quietly, but it is creating powerful new corporate interests, transforming the organisation of government at all levels, and is simultaneously enriching a new business elite and creating numerous fiascos in the delivery of public services. What links the brutal treatment of asylum-seeking detainees, the disciplining of welfare benefit claimants, the profits effortlessly earned by the privatised rail companies, and the fiasco of the management of security at the 2012 Olympics? In a word: outsourcing. This book, by the renowned research team at the Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural Change in Manchester, is the first to combine 'follow the money' research with accessibility for the engaged citizen, and the first to balance critique with practical suggestions for policy reform.
