Publisher:Informa HealthCare, 2007 Despite the explosion of texts in colorectal surgery over the past few years, reflecting the importance of teaching and learning the essentials of care for patients with disease of the colon, rectum and anus, the Handbook of Colorectal Surgery is being released in its second edition just six years from its first publication.
In the original preface, Dr. Beck indicated that the book was an ‘‘ideal portable reference’’ for nurses, students, and residents; time has proven this to be correct. Organizational aspects of the book include a brief outline at the outset of each chapter and a list of classic references at the end. Tables are succinct and uniformly helpful, as are the illustrations.

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Group, 2005 The area of treatment of sexual disorders has undergone an enormous expansionduring the last few decades.
The introduction of pharmacological treatment ofthese disorders (e.g., sildenafil for erectile dysfunction or antidepressants forparaphilias) rekindled the interest of physicians from different disciplines(psychiatrists, urologists, gynecologists) in sexual dysfunctions. Physicians arefinding these disorders amenable to pharmacotherapy. However, the new developmentsin the area of “sexual pharmacology” have unfortunately also led to abiological reductionism in the field.
