Our personal and political worlds are rife with arguments and disagreements, some of them petty and vitriolic. The inability to compromise and understand the other side is widespread today. What can we do to change this? In Think Again philosopher Walter Sinnott-Armstrong draws on a long tradition of logic to show why we should stop focusing on winning arguments and instead argue in a more constructive way. Based on a hugely popular online course with more than a million followers around the world, Think Again explains how to analyse, evaluate and make better arguments while also spotting bad reasoning and avoiding certain fallacies. Through lively, practical examples from everyday life, politics and popular culture, Walter Sinnott-Armstrong offers brilliantly straightforward, wise advice that we can all use at work, at home and online.

This workbook has been specifi cally designed for foreign students of Russian medical schools who study pharmacology. It is supposed to be used as an aid for better preparation for pharmacology practical classes. The content of the workbook corresponds to the pharmacology course program approved for the third year students by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. Part 1 of the Workbook consists of 16 units, of which 3 units are grouped under the heading of General pharmacology, and the remaining 12 units are included in the Particular pharmacology division. The units begin with topics to be discussed to familiarize students with particular questions they will be asked at the lesson. Students will fi nd it helpful to review background information (brief description of basic pharmacological processes and characteristics of particular drug groups) and key terms provided in each unit. The units dealing with Particular pharmacology include classifi cations of drugs. As the name workbook implies it contains a variety of tasks for self-training, the tasks being presented in the form of multiple choice questions, tables, pictures, and diagrams as well as clinical cases. In general, the book aims at better comprehension of major pharmacological topics including understanding of mechanisms of drug action, which determine both their main therapeutic and side eff ects. Students will also fi nd answer keys to check their progress. The 2-nd edition is designed to provide advanced and modern information in regard to the subject matters covered, with the understanding that knowledge and medical practice constantly evolve. The main textbooks: D.A.Kharkevitch “Pharmacology”, 2-nd edition, Moscow; B.G.Katzung “Basic and Clinical Pharmacology”, 14-th edition, NY. The authors hope this kind of training may be of interest not only for foreigners but also for other medicine and pharmacy students.

Jauhar weaves his own personal and family story into his history of the heart...very effectively... This gives a certain dramatic tension to the book, as it tells the fascinating and rather wonderful history of cardiology. Henry Marsh, New Statesman A Mail on Sunday Book of the Year The heart lies at the centre of life. For cardiologist Sandeep Jauhar it is an obsession. In this fascinating history he interweaves gripping scenes from the operating theatre with the moving tale of his family s history of heart problems from the death of his grandfather to the ominous signs of how he himself might die. Jauhar looks at the pioneers who risked patients lives and their own careers, and confronts the limits of medical technology, arguing that how we live is more important than any device or drug we may invent. Heart is the all-encompassing story of the engine of life.
