Patophysiology of Disease - An Introduction to Clinical Medicine 2nd ED.Patophysiology of Disease - An Introduction to Clinical Medicine 2nd ED.

The book does an excellent job of integrating basic science concepts with clinical medicine. Each of the organ system chapters reviews the normal anatomy, physiology and histology, then follows with the pathophysiology, clinical findings, and pathology of the more commonly encountered disorders. Additionally there are chapters on genetic diseases, immune diseases and neoplasia which similarly link basic science principles with clinical disease entities. Each chapter contains periodic "checkpoint" questions which guide the reader to the most important concepts. Each chapter also ends with several case studies with questions and discussions, similar to those encountered on board examinations.

Switching from the frequentist to the subjective approach requires that some fundamental concepts be rethought and suitably redefined.

The Antonio Gramsci Reader: Selected Writings 1916-1935The Antonio Gramsci Reader: Selected Writings 1916-1935

with a new introduction by ERIC J. HOBSBAWM
"Very usefully pulls the key passages from Gramsci's writings into one volume, which allows English-language readers an overall view of his work. Particularly valuable are the connections it draws across his work and the insights which the introduction and glossary provide into the origin and development of some key Gramscian concepts."
--Stuart Hall, Professor of Sociology, Open University
