Many biochemical books include a section with clinical notes, which is extremely important for medical students. And Harper's medical biochemistry is one of them. Here you can learn about all the chemical reactions and various mechanisms of the human body.

This textbook ‘Biochemistry’ has become one of the most preferred text books (in India and many other countries) for the students as well as teachers in medical, biological and other allied sciences. The book has undergone three editions, several reprints, and revised reprints in a span of 13 years. There are many biochemistry textbooks in the market. Some of them are purely basic while others are applied, and there are very few books which cover both these aspects together. For this reason, the students learning biochemistry in their undergraduate courses have to depend on multiple books to acquire a sound knowledge of the subject. This book, ‘Biochemistry’ is unique with a simultaneous and equal emphasis on basic and applied aspects of biochemistry. This textbook offers an integration of medical and pure sciences, comprehensively written to meet the curriculum requirements of undergraduate courses in medical, dental, pharmacy, life-sciences and other categories (agriculture, veterinary, etc.). This book is designed to develop in students a sustained interest and enthusiasm to learn and develop the concepts in biochemistry in a logical and stepwise manner. It incorporates a variety of pedagogic aids, besides colour illustrations to help the students understand the subject quickly and to the maximum. The summary and biomedical/clinical concepts are intended for a rapid absorption and assimilation of the facts and concepts in biochemistry. The self-assessment exercises will stimulate the students to think rather than merely learn the subject. In addition, these exercises (essays, short notes, fill in the blanks, multiple choice questions) set at different difficulty levels, will cater to the needs of all the categories of learners.

This book contains an amalgamation of the essentials of basic biochemistry along with the advanced knowledge in the frontiers of molecular biology. The first edition of the book was published in 1995, and is now running the 6th edition. The book is now accepted as a standard textbook in all the medical colleges in India and abroad.

A list of important internet addresses in the appendix will help the book's users keep abreast of cutting-edge research.

The fifth edition of Clinical Neurology, like its predecessors, offers a problem-oriented approach to neurology based on the authors' experience in teaching medical students and house staff at the University of California, San Francisco. Chapters are organized according to problems such as headache, seizures, stroke, and coma, because these are the conditions for which patients usually seek medical care. Careful history taking and neurologic examination are emphasized, as these remain the cornerstones of neurologic diagnosis, even in an era of technologic diagnostic advances. The need to update this book arises from two main sources: rapid expansion of knowledge about the molecular basis of neurologic diseases and recent innovations in the treatment of disorders such as headache, epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Accordingly, increased prominence has been given to molecular mechanisms of diseases—for example, Alzheimer's disease and the polyglutamine disorders, including Huntington's disease. Sections on treatment have been updated and expanded to reflect the introduction of new therapies for neurological disorders. The summary tables of therapeutic drugs and genetic disorders inside the front and back covers, which were introduced in the last edition, have been revised to maintain currency. Key Concepts is a new feature that has been introduced in this issue. In the beginning of each chapter, some of the major concepts are presented with numbered icons. These same numbered icons appear within the text to indicate where these specific points are discussed in the chapter. We thank our colleagues, who have contributed their expert advice to the preparation of this new edition of Clinical Neurology, especially Lydia Bayne, Megan Burns, Chadwick Christine, Paul Garcia, Alisa Gean, Cheryl Jay, Catherine Lomen-Hoerth, Neil Raskin, Tom Shults, and Norman So. The staff at McGraw-Hill have been enormously helpful in moving this book through editing and production. We hope our efforts will help to demystify clinical neurology for students and practitioners and contribute to providing patients better and more focused diagnosis and treatment.

The author introduces the concept for which he became best known: "lateral thinking"

The goal of this text is to present philosophy to newcomers as a living discipline with historical roots. While a few early chapters are historically organized, the goal in the historical chapters is to trace a developmental progression of thought that introduces basic philosophical methods and frames issues that remain relevant today. Later chapters are topically organized. These include philosophy of science and philosophy of mind, areas where philosophy has shown dramatic recent progress. This text concludes with four chapters on ethics, broadly construed. Traditional theories of right action is covered in a third of these. Students are first invited first to think about what is good for themselves and their relationships in a chapter of love and happiness. Next a few meta-ethical issues are considered; namely, whether they are moral truths and if so what makes them so. The end of the ethics sequence addresses social justice, what it is for one's community to be good. Our sphere of concern expands progressively through these chapters. Our inquiry recapitulates the course of development into moral maturity. Over the course of the text, the author has tried to outline the continuity of thought that leads from the historical roots of philosophy to a few of the diverse areas of inquiry that continue to make significant contributions to our understanding of ourselves and the world we live in.

This book has been written with an eye towards both clinical diagnosis in actual patient management, as well as clinical diagnosis in your own practical exam settings. It represents a departure from the usual physical examination teaching tools which, in their attempts to be all inclusive, tend to de-emphasize the practical nature of patient care. As a result, students frequently have difficulty identifying what information is truly relevant, why it's important & how it applies to the actual patient. By approaching clinical surgery in a pragmatic & demystified fashion, the significance of the material should be readily apparent & the underlying principles more clearly understood.

Now in its 26th edition, this textbook's traditional strengths are combined with the latest updates in effective clinical examination and soundly based surgical principles, while taking account throughout of the latest developments in surgical practice.
