JOHN HALL

La 11ª ed. del Compendio de Fisiología de Guyton & Hall se presenta como una herramienta de gran utilidad que contiene los aspectos mas relevantes de la gran obra de referencia presentándolos de una forma muy concisa y de fácil y rápido acceso permitiendo así el conocimiento de los aspectos fundamentales de la disciplina. Esta obra aúna dos esfuerzos ya que reúne en un solo volumen una obra con el contenido básico y fundamental para el estudiante y un material que por su tamaño y extensión es muy cómodo de llevar y consultar. No obstante, en ningún momento pretende ni puede sustituir al gran tratado de referencia. El libro sigue el mismo modelo organizativo que el texto de referencia, con el mismo índice de contenidos y para cada tema abordado se ofrecen las referencias cruzadas del tratado. La obra cubre todos los sistemas de órganos enfatizando en cuestiones como la interacción entre sistemas, la homeostasis y la fisiopatología Resulta de gran interés para el estudiante de Medicina y también para el estudiante de Farmacia y Fisioterapia, ya que usado complementariamente al tratado le proporcionará un conocimiento muy amplio de la fisiología, entendiéndola como la disciplina 'puente' entre las básicas y la clínica.

In this first biography of Theodore Paleologus, new documentary evidence exposes him as a hardened mercenary and killer in the pay of the wicked Earl of Lincoln but also supports his imperial pretensions long dismissed by historians. Yet despite his black record, memorial services are still conducted with imperial honours at Theodores grave in Cornwall and he now enjoys a new lease of life in fantasy fiction. Award-winning author John Hall traces the extraordinary real lives of Theodore Paleologus and his three sons from contract killings throughout Europe to fighting one another in the English Civil War, and from buccaneering on the Spanish Main to a pioneering role in the Caribbean slave trade. Their true story is contrasted with parallel lives on the wilder shores of literature which link Theodore to the bloodline of Christ, the biblical End of Days, and a claim to the throne of England. Here, Hall finally separates fact from fable in the patchy history of this legendary but elusive villain.
