Synopsis

Gnomologia is a book best suited to be kept on a coffee table and strives to explain many gnomological expressions. It comes from an ancient Greek word, known to have been used by Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Hippocrates and others.

It was a popular literary genre in the Middle Ages and Late Antiquity.

In Simplified English: Word/s used to convey something other than the true meaning of the word/s.

Does that 'tickle your fancy'?

The book is written primarily for teenagers about to join the world of work and for anyone else who may be interested in learning more about the English language. Packed with wit, wisdom, and a dash of nostalgia, Gnomologia is a brilliant conversation-starter and a vital key to the heart of British vernacular.

    Dr Liz O’Riordan is a breast cancer surgeon who has battled against social, physical and mental challenges to practise at the top of her field. Under the Knife charts Liz’s incredible highs: performing like a couture dressmaker as she moulded and reshaped women’s breasts, while saving their lives; to the heart-breaking lows of telling ten women a day that they had cancer. 
     
    But this memoir is more than just an eye-opening look at the realities of training to be a female surgeon in a man’s world. In addition to this high-powered, high-pressured role, Liz faced her own breast cancer diagnosis, severe depression and suicidal thoughts, in tandem with commonplace sexual harassment and bullying. And by revealing how she coped when her life crashed around her, she demonstrates there is always hope.

    Obesity is becoming one of the preeminent public health concerns, with prevalence increasing throughout the world.
    Covering many aspects of contemporary obesity research, this timely book by some of the leading experts in the field explores issues relating to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obesity, including childhood obesity. The work is attuned to the needs of those living with obesity, with a chapter devoted to
    the harm caused by weight stigma and false narratives around lifestyle choices.
    'Obesity, the other pandemic of the 21st century' reviews the available evidence to prove that obesity should be considered not just as a key contributor towards other comorbidities, but as a disease by itself. Importantly, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on obesity is addressed, which raised the complexity and severity of the obesity and should be a call to action for the prevention and early treatment of this disease. This book has been developed by World Obesity Federation collaborators, and is aimed at healthcare practitioners, academics, policymakers, students, patients living with obesity and all those impacted by the issue.
    The research covered in these pages goes some way towards proving that obesity is quickly becoming 'the other pandemic' of the 21st century. Much like any major pandemic, the consequence of inaction is truly alarming.

    No Secrets in a Small Town -...

    A young physician finishes residency and begins practice in a small rural town. 
    Early in his career as an attending, a death certificate lands on his desk. 
    It looks ordinary—boxes, signatures, causes of death. But the name on the page is someone he knew. Someone whose story had unfolded in exam rooms and hospital hallways. With one signature, he acknowledges a life that has ended. 
    Medicine had trained him to diagnose and treat. 
    It had not prepared him for the weight of finality. 
    That moment stayed. 
    Through emergency department nights, nursing home rounds, leadership struggles, insurance barriers, staffing shortages, and quiet home visits at the end of life, he began to write—not from theory, but from experience. 
    Readers responded. Patients saw what happens behind the curtain. Clinicians recognized their own unspoken burdens. Medical learners encountered lessons not found in science textbooks. 
    No Secrets in a Small Town grows from that first signature. 
    Told through the mind of a rural doctor, it reflects on trust, professionalism, stewardship, burnout, and the moral responsibility of caring for neighbors in a place where medicine is personal. 
    In a small town, every decision carries a name. 
    And nothing is anonymous.
