Beckmann and Ling’s Obstetrics and Gynecology, 9th Edition, provides the foundational knowledge medical students need to complete an Ob/Gyn rotation, pass national standardized exams, and competently care for women in clinical practice. Highly respected for its authoritative expertise and preferred by students for its concise, consistent approach, the text is fully aligned with the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics' educational objectives, upon which most clerkship evaluations and final exams are based. The 9th Edition is updated throughout and enhanced with engaging new features that encourage reflection, strengthen retention, and deliver critical preparation for exams and clinical practice.

Newly focused on the practical communications skills student pharmacists need for effective practice, this updated Seventh Edition--now in full color-- reflects new ACPE standards, including up-to-date coverage of the PPCP model, co-curricular experiences, interprofessional interaction and collaboration, and professional development. Practical, easy-to-use, and packed with relevant case studies and coverage of the latest advances in the field, this edition is ideal for the foundational course and pre-experiential training. Expanded emphasis on communication skill application helps students master the knowledge and skills they need for pharmacy practice* Additional content added on motivational interviewing, e-commerce, contemporary ethical issues (such as medical marijuana and opioid abuse), and student-preceptor and pharmacist-management communication issues

This text introduces computational tools for solving differential equation models that arise in chemical engineering: diffusion-reactions, mass-heat transfer, and fluid flow. Geared toward advanced undergraduates or graduate students of chemical engineering studying applied mathematics, the treatment focuses on numerical methods and modeling implemented in commercial mathematical software available at the time of its initial publication in 1984. The introductory-level approach outlines numerical techniques for differential equations that either illustrate a computation property of interest or form the underlying methods of a computer software package. Readers are assumed to have a basic knowledge of mathematics, and results requiring further background feature appropriate references. Each chapter includes illustrative examples, and problems at the chapter's end simulate industrial mathematics projects and form extensions of the examples. Helpful appendixes supplement the text.
