	Bioethics and the New Embryology: Springboards for Debate by: Scott Gilbert publisher: WH Freeman and Sinauer Associates, published: 2005-06-24 ASIN: 0716773457 EAN: 9780716773450 sales rank: 253655 Designed for freshman seminars, adult education courses, and ethics units in biology classes, this book presents enough science so that readers can make an informed analysis of the issues and know what factual data are consistent (or are not consistent) with their ethical views.   The two-chapter units address specific questions, juxtaposing the scientific "facts" (in the initial chapter) with the ethical questions (in the second chapter). While the science has been simplified and explained at the level of an introductory biology course, it successfully conveys the essential information for useful discussions. The final unit contains information and discussion about three topics-the definition of "normal," the question of genetic determinism, and the use of animals in scientific research-that predate the "embryological revolution" but remain important issues for scientists and concerned citizens alike to consider.   This book is available on its own and packaged with other W.H. Freeman titles. If you are interested in packaging it, please contact your local W.H. Freeman Representative.

	Exploring Essential Embryology by: Gerard Ahern publisher: Dartos Contractors, published: 2011-08-27 ASIN: B005JN8HBC sales rank: 181229 General practitioners are under enormous pressure to perform adequately in all areas. This is the most stressful job in medicine, as one must have a certain level of knowledge in medicine, surgery, psychiatry, orthopaedics, paediatrics, ENT… and so on. Surprisingly, (or perhaps not so), they tend to get ignored in the development of specific educational programs. We wondered how we could correct this in some small way, in appreciation for this devoted group. Instead of being a watered down general medical program, we sought the latest report into GP consultations in Australia. We then selected the most common conditions seen, as reported by the GP’s themselves. The medical conditions explored are limited to these common (or important) conditions encountered. This is an exploration of many of these topics. It is not a reference text.
