COMING SOON: 'The Secret Diary of Chumleigh the Cat'

Behind a thin veneer of respectability, life in a small English village is not all it may seem. Through the eyes of Chumleigh the cat, the rural goings on are recorded in this funny and poignant diary.

From a cat’s perspective, Chumleigh tells all about life in his house and the antics of his neighbours. From domestic disharmony to a cannabis farm in next door’s garden shed, he sees it all and shares it all in his diary.

This is a cat who enjoys the finer elements of feline existence like tuna, sleeping in the warm and cat treats. But life doesn’t always pan out the way he would like.

Supported by a rich cast of locals, as odd and individualistic as still found in many small villages, Chumleigh charts a year in his life. Traumatic visits to the vet, turf wars with the local ginger tom and a desire to eliminate a neighbour’s yappy dog are all set down with great humour and insight.

If you’ve ever lived in a village or owned a cat, this will make you laugh. If you’ve never lived in a village and never owned a cat, this will be a wonderful insight into what you have been missing.

'The Secret Diary of Chumleigh the Cat' is full of adult humour covering a year in the life of a cat who never ceases to be amazed at just what goes on around him!

COMING SOON… The back pain manual — A guide to treatment

Back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide; the World Health Organization regards back pain as a condition for which the greatest number of people may benefit from rehabilitation. It is estimated that low back pain alone affects 619 million people globally and this is estimated to rise to 843 million people by 2050. Up to 60% of the adult population will have low back pain at some point in their lifetime; 5-7% of adults over 45 years of age are estimated to have chronic low back pain.

Healthcare professionals see people with back pain routinely in their clinical practice and so education and awareness of back pain and the various treatment options are vital for an effective outcome in these situations. Research has shown that healthcare professionals have a considerable and enduring influence upon the attitudes and beliefs of people with back pain. This book will help clinicians to positively influence the outcome of people suffering from back pain.

This book will discuss back pain in great detail and is written in an easy-to-understand style, while keeping an evidence-based approach. Doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, medical students, and other healthcare professionals will find this book informative. People who suffer with back pain will also find the information useful to expand their knowledge in order to successfully manage the condition.

This book will be of immense use to candidates preparing for examinations conducted by the Faculty of Pain Medicine of the Royal College of Anaesthetists, UK (FFPMRCA), American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA), Royal College of General Practitioners, UK (MRCGP), College of Anaesthesiologists of Ireland (FFPMCAI), American Board of Pain Medicine (ABPM), European Pain Federation (EFIC) (European Diploma in Pain Medicine [EDPM]), Faculty of Pain Medicine of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (FPM), and the World Institute of Pain (FIPP/CIPS).

The authors are both senior consultants in pain medicine practising in the United Kingdom and are consulted by thousands of patients every year. They have lectured at many international, national and regional meetings and are invited lecturers to public and patient groups on various health topics. They have organised workshops, meetings and seminars for the national anaesthetic and pain societies. They have published many articles, research and textbooks on pain medicine. Their aim is to create an awareness of chronic pain conditions among other healthcare professionals and the public.

The advance copies of 'Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery', 2nd edition, have arrived hot off the press from the printer!

This is the second edition of 'Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery', which has become the must-read book for all cardiac surgical practitioners and is part of the revolutionary ‘Key Questions’ series of cardiothoracic surgical textbooks. The first edition was an international bestseller, for many years being the most popular cardiac surgical book.

'Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery' provides a systematic overview of the important topics in contemporary adult cardiac surgical practice. The text is evidence-based, incorporating current literature and has been updated from the first edition with the most recent American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology guidelines. The main chapters have also been refreshed describing contemporary surgical techniques and management philosophies, with additional chapters on statistics and pulmonary embolism.

This illustrated concise text is a practical and clinically focused book that covers all the key questions in cardiac surgery. Whilst being an ideal reference for cardiac surgical trainees and residents, especially when undertaking their cardiothoracic surgery board examinations, this book is also of great value to other specialties involved in the care of cardiac surgical patients, including cardiologists, cardiothoracic intensivists, nurses and physiotherapists.

SPECIAL PRE-PUBLICATION OFFER – SAVE £10

Normal price: £35 plus £5 postage and packing

Copies will be dispatched in mid-January 2024

• The definitive story of this epic rally
• Hard-back, full colour book with over 300 pages
• Every rally reported in detail, including the 2023 event
• 500 photographs covering many competitors
• Full results for each event with complete entry lists

This is the story of Britain's most challenging special stage rally for a generation. The initial idea was to run a ‘proper rally’ and that has certainly been achieved through the dedication and determination of Colin Heppenstall, his family and a fantastic team of volunteers.

Across 20 years, the Roger Albert Clark Rally has run 15 times. It is an event that has no rival as it recreates a golden era of rallying in the UK when Roger Clark was at his peak, and the original RAC Rally was a multi-day test for every competitor.

Since it first ran in 2004, the Roger Albert Clark Rally has grown in stature and following and now has huge competitor interest, big crowds and a vast online following. It is a rally like no other in terms of atmosphere, challenge and sense of achievement for those who get to the finish.

This book, with over 500 photographs, many of which have never been seen before, tells the story of each rally and looks at some of the people involved; both competitors and organisers. It details how the organisers coped with heavy snow in 2010 and Storm Arwen in 2021.

The 2023 event will be the biggest and toughest yet, covering 350 special stage miles in the forests of England, Scotland, and Wales.

For anyone who has been involved in this rally, this book will bring back fabulous memories and will serve as the definitive record of the rally’s first 20 years.
