Latest New Books

Here is the link to our list of

September 2008 New Books.

We try to keep up-to-date with new editions of key texts, and have purchased several this month, for example, the latest editions of Hampton's popular ECG books and several anatomy books, including Grant's Atlas and those by Tortora.

Critical Care practitioners will appreciate the 3rd edition of Hinds Intensive Care and for surgeons we have Burkitt & Quick's 4th ed of Essential Surgery: problems, diagnosis & management and the 3rd ed of the Oxford handbook of Clinical Surgery by McLatchie.

For those working in obstetrics and midwifery we have the 2nd ed of Downe's Normal Childbirth and Impey's latest edition of Obstetrics & Gynaecology.

Outside the clinical field, we also have the newest edition of Scambler's Sociology as Applied to Medicine.

If you spot any new editions we have missed do let us know, but check NewhamCat first (available on Newham UHT & Newham PCT networks) as we may already have bought it; the above is only a small selection from our available stock.

And if you would like to review any of our items just send us an email with one brief paragraph on why you found a book useful (or not!). You might even win a prize!

NewhamCat is one... contribute and win!

NewhamCat is one today!

In the past year it has issued some nine and a half thousand books, seen us add a thousand books / 300+ ebooks, gained cover images in search results and generally been a boon to all concerned.

To celebrate this anniversary we are launching a new feature. NewhamCat'sEye is your opportunity to write a brief review of any item you can find on NewhamCat.

Just one paragraph describing why you found the book useful (or why you didn't) is all we are after. You might want to explain why colleagues might want to read it or how it changed your practice or just highlight a key concept.

We will add the best ones to NewhamCat so you can see what others think. The first 25 accepted reviews will win one of our eco friendly reusable shopping bags (or a library mug).

To give you the idea see the NewhamCat record for "Mosby's dictionary of medicine, nursing and health professions" - you can choose to have your name on your contribution or leave it anonymous if you prefer.

Submit your entry to the usual address.
