Anatomical Terms and What They Mean

£16.50

Nowadays, medical, dental and science undergraduates in English-speaking countries lack the basics in Latin and Greek - the languages from which all anatomical terms derive. The glossary presented in this book takes the word-root of key anatomical terms, explains their meanings and gives examples of their use in anatomical and other contexts, including everyday English usage.

Anatomists and Eponyms: The Spirit of Anatomy Past

£14.99

The medical curriculum teaches the barest essentials of human anatomy. The policy of eliminating all eponyms from the anatomical nomenclature is depriving both students and teachers of the incentive to learn the history of the great anatomist or physician who discovered the structure associated with his or her name. This book aims to address this.

Electromagnetism: Nature's Force That Shapes Our Lives (eBook)

The Human Rights Act and the Assault on Liberty: Rights and Asylum in the UK (eBook)

£12.49

A major objective of the Human Rights Act (HRA) was to bring about a culture of rights in the UK. Its introduction fore-grounded questions about the use of rights to advance social justice issues and was the impetus for this research. At about the same time as the Act came into effect another law, Section 55, an antithesis of what the HRA promised, was passed which forced thousands of asylum-seekers into destitution.

The Physics of Cricket

£20.00

Fans around the world are used to seeing the infrared technology of “Hotspot”, the acoustics of “Snicko” and the ballistics of “Hawkeye”, but how many people actually understand how these aids work and what their applications and limitations are? Is there any scientific reason why a white ball should behave differently to a red one? Why do we use a red or a white ball anyway?

The Physics Of Rugby

£20.00

Nominated as one of the Top Ten Physics Books by "Physics World". Physics is not mathematics. It is not about blocks of mass M sliding down inclined planes. True physics is the process of coming up with a model. For example, Shane Williams dives for the corner on a muddy day and his momentum carries him over. How far out can he dive and still score? The answer is given by the same equation as those dull sliding blocks.
