  • Eric Bottomley’s Transport Gallery: A Journey Across the Canvas

    01
    This is Eric Bottomley’s second art book, in which he has varied both his transport themes and the mediums in which he works. The majority of paintings are in oils but also included are gouache (watercolor) and pencil sketches. However, some paintings are both gouache and pencil, together known as mixed media.Railways have always been a great passion of Eric’s, from trainspotting around the ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire system as a boy, to painting commisions for customers both private and commercial. From his lowly studio in Wimborne, Dorset, where his painting career took off, Eric never envisaged that one day he would witness his paintings being presented to the Duke of Kent, or that he would meet the Duke of Gloucester (a fellow railway enthusiast). In 1979 he joined the Guild of Railway Artists, and later became a full member.Included in this book are all four regions of Britain’s railway, but mostly the BR period from 1948, to the end of steam in 1968. Added to this are such scenes as the Trans-Siberian Express in Moscow, The Golfers Express leaving Belfast and preserved diesels in the USA.The sad demise of steam and dereliction of the canals in the 1960s, and the amazing restoration projects over the years, has provided Eric with an enormous scope of subject matter, much of which is captured in this compelling book.

This door leads to a subterranean labyrinth filled with stories, hidden far beneath the surface of the earth.

    The Night Circus:
    The circus arrives without warning. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Against the grey sky the towering tents are striped black and white. A sign hanging upon iron gates reads: Opens at Nightfall; Closes at Dawn.As dusk shifts to twilight, tiny lights begin to flicker all over the tents, as though the whole circus is covered in fireflies. When the tents are aglow, sparkling against the night sky, the sign lights up:Le Cirque des Rêves; The Circus of Dreams.

  • Erotic Vagrancy: Everything about Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor

    08

    ‘The book of the year’ SUNDAY TIMES
    ‘One of the very best biographies I have ever read’ STEPHEN FRY
    ‘A hot thunderstorm of a book’ DAVID HARE
    ‘Erotic Vagrancy gave me a week of pure joy’ CRAIG BROWN
    ‘Unputdownable’ TONY PALMER
    ‘A genius writer’ LYNN BARBER

    Thirteen years in the writing, Erotic Vagrancy doesn’t only surpass every other biography of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton yet to appear, this rich, vital and passionately articulated book, which is as extravagant and wayward as its two subjects, is also about celebrity, creativity, being flawed, being brilliant, sexuality, the intermingling of a low and a highbrow existence, pride, insecurity, attraction and repulsion, and devilry.

    We see Taylor the child actress exchanging dogs and horses for husbands. We see Burton emerging from the mists and brimstone of Wales to be the greatest theatrical animal of his generation. The pair come together in Rome during the making of Cleopatra, which gives Lewis the opportunity for a major farcical set-piece. We then enter a world of jewels and private jets, vodka, yachts and furs – the splendid vulgarity of the Sixties, where the narrative of Taylor and Burton becomes a Pop Art story.

    Then, inevitably, it all goes wrong, with alcoholism, violence, recrimination and divorce ( twice ) – with Burton, whom Lewis depicts as a Faustus figure, damned by fame, dead at fifty-eight.

    Stephen Fry has said, ‘It is one of the very best biographies I have ever read. One of the best books about fame, desire, Hollywood and mid-to-late twentieth century culture ever written. Inside which, brilliant, hilarious and sensitive insights on all manner of subjects fizz and froth. Magnificent, terrible, tragic, triumphant.’

  • Escape from Model Land: How Mathematical Models Can Lead Us Astray and What We Can Do About It

    06

    ‘A brilliant account of how models are so often abused and of how they should be used’ John Kay

    How do mathematical models shape our world – and how can we harness their power for good?

    Models are at the centre of everything we do. Whether we use them or are simply affected by them, they act as metaphors that help us better understand the increasingly complex problems facing us in the modern world. Without models, we couldn’t begin to tackle three of the major challenges facing modern society: regulation of the economy, climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet in recent years, the validity of the models we use has been hotly debated and there has been renewed awareness of the disastrous consequences when the makers and interpreters of models get things wrong.

    Drawing on contemporary examples from finance, climate and health policy, Erica Thompson explores what models are, why we need them, how they work and what happens when they go wrong. This is not a book that argues we should do away with models, but rather, that we need to properly understand how they are constructed – and how some of the assumptions that underlie the models we use can have significant unintended consequences. Unexpectedly humorous, thought-provoking and passionate, this is essential reading for everyone.

    ESL Sentence Builders is a workbook aimed at beginner to pre-intermediate students co-authored by four modern languages educators with over 50 years of extensive classroom experience between them, in the UK, France and internationally. It is aimed at Spanish language students who are learning English as an additional language.

    This ‘no-frills’ book contains 10 units of work on very popular themes, jam- packed with graded vocabulary-building, reading, translation, retrieval practice and writing activities. Key vocabulary, lexical patterns and structures are recycled and interleaved throughout.

    Each unit includes:
    • a sentence builder modelling the target constructions;
    • a set of vocabulary building activities;
    • a set of narrow reading texts exploited through a range of tasks focusing on both the meaning and structural levels of the text;
    • a set of retrieval-practice translation tasks;
    • a set of writing tasks targeting essential micro-skills such as spelling, lexical retrieval, syntax, editing and communication of meaning.

    Based on the E.P.I. principle that learners learn best from comprehensible and highly patterned input flooded with the target linguistic features, the authors have carefully designed each and every text and activity to enable the student to process and produce each item many times over. This occurs throughout each unit of work as well as in smaller grammar, vocabulary and question-skills micro-units located at regular intervals in the book, which aim at reinforcing the understanding and retention of the target grammar, vocabulary and question patterns.

    • Clear, step-by-step guides to each examination, including useful things to say to the patient (or an examiner), detailed descriptions of special tests, etc.
    • In a separate column is a collection of key information: potential findings, differential diagnoses of clinical signs and practical tips.
    • On the following pages there are facts relating to that particular examination and, in many sections, there are also tips on how to present your findings succinctly – a skill which is crucial to master for exam success.

    If you are learning how to examine patients, or preparing for an OSCE, then you need Essential Examination!

    Over FIVE HUNDRED five-star ratings of the second edition, including the following:

    “I LOVE this book: it has all the key examinations with each fitting on a single double page spread.”
    “Best preparation for OSCEs. Learn to do these steps within the time limits and you will pass!”
    “I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend and it is the most comprehensive, logical, and concise summary of examination technique I have found presented in a clean and legible bullet point format. It even includes additional information (e.g. differential diagnoses, physiological changes in pregnancy) to help you answer the questions OSCE examiners like to ask to determine which candidates deserve the ever-elusive ‘marks for excellence’. Perfect for OSCEs, clinical years, and beyond.”
    “Has everything you could possibly need in an examination textbook/revision guide, no need for any others. One of the best purchases I’ve made in med school. Highly recommended.”
    “The book is well presented for learning examinations; using a table format, explanations are given without detracting from the process of the examination. It is far more than a checklist, it provides essential information without cluttering walls of text between one step and the next.”
    “Pretty much THE essential text book for clinical examinations for all medical students. Good price and will take you from day one to qualifying as every colleague who has just graduated swears by this book for clinical OSCEs.”

    • Essential Medical Statistics (Essentials): 11

      08
      Blackwell Publishing is delighted to announce that this book has been Highly Commended in the 2004 BMA Medical Book Competition. Here is the judges’ summary of this book:

      “This is a technical book on a technical subject but presented in a delightful way. There are many books on statistics for doctors but there are few that are excellent and this is certainly one of them. Statistics is not an easy subject to teach or write about. The authors have succeeded in producing a book that is as good as it can get. For the keen student who does not want a book for mathematicians, this is an excellent first book on medical statistics.”

      Essential Medical Statistics is a classic amongst medical statisticians. An introductory textbook, it presents statistics with a clarity and logic that demystifies the subject, while providing a comprehensive coverage of advanced as well as basic methods.

      The second edition of Essential Medical Statistics has been comprehensively revised and updated to include modern statistical methods and modern approaches to statistical analysis, while retaining the approachable and non-mathematical style of the first edition. The book now includes full coverage of the most commonly used regression models, multiple linear regression, logistic regression, Poisson regression and Cox regression, as well as a chapter on general issues in regression modelling. In addition, new chapters introduce more advanced topics such as meta-analysis, likelihood, bootstrapping and robust standard errors, and analysis of clustered data.

      Aimed at students of medical statistics, medical researchers, public health practitioners and practising clinicians using statistics in their daily work, the book is designed as both a teaching and a reference text. The format of the book is clear with highlighted formulae and worked examples, so that all concepts are presented in a simple, practical and easy-to-understand way. The second edition enhances the emphasis on choice of appropriate methods with new chapters on strategies for analysis and measures of association and impact.

      Essential Medical Statistics is supported by a web site at www.blackwellpublishing.com/essentialmedstats. This useful online resource provides statistical datasets to download, as well as sample chapters and future updates.
