    For any sailor, in a yacht or motorboat, the passage from one place to another is relatively easy, particularly with modern navigation equipment. What can be more of a challenge (and a potential source of anxiety for skipper and crew) is the start and end of a passage – how to leave and arrive safely, particularly if it's a cramped marina or crowded anchorage. In Illustrated Seamanship, Ivar Dedekam takes you through the techniques required to achieve a safe departure and arrival. Starting with the fundamentals of ropework he then moves on to manoeuvring, berthing, making fast and then leaving. All types of berthing are covered from coming alongside, stern to, bow to, between finger pontoons and using piles and buoys. There is advice about dealing with different wind and current directions as well as using springs. Ivar then turns to anchoring and offers guidance on setting and weighing anchor in many different circumstances: under sail and under power, using one or two anchors and coping with changes in wind and tide while anchored. You probably won't experience all the scenarios that Ivar so carefully describes, but you will certainly come across quite a few. Knowing what to do when a new situation comes up could be invaluable, increasing your confidence and leading to greater enjoyment and use of your boat. With over 500 diagrams, this slim volume is a perfect reminder of frequently used techniques and could be your get-out-of-jail card when a new circumstance arises. This new edition has an improved layout and the eBook's functionality has been improved significantly.

    Fundamentals of Clinical...

    Clinical medicine is the foundation of healthcare, encompassing the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases and medical conditions. It involves direct interaction with patients, applying medical knowledge, and using diagnostic tools to provide appropriate care. Physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals rely on clinical medicine to bridge the gap between theoretical science and real-world patient care. 
    One of the primary objectives of clinical medicine is to assess and diagnose illnesses based on a combination of patient history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. This systematic approach enables healthcare providers to determine the most effective treatment options while considering patient-specific factors such as age, genetics, lifestyle, and pre-existing conditions. The process of diagnosis is both an art and a science, requiring not only medical expertise but also strong analytical and problem-solving skills. 
    Treatment in clinical medicine varies depending on the condition and severity of the illness. It may involve pharmacological interventions, surgical procedures, lifestyle modifications, or a combination of these. In addition to treating diseases, clinical medicine emphasizes preventive care, aiming to reduce the risk of illness through vaccinations, screenings, and patient education. The shift toward preventive medicine has proven to be an essential strategy in reducing healthcare costs and improving overall public health.
