Highly Commended in the British Medical Association book awards 2011!! Lifestyle Medicine 2nd Edition is the essential book for contemporary times. It concentrates largely on the contribution that can be made directly by the clinician at the personal level. The rise in obesity worldwide has focused attention on lifestyle as a prominent cause of disease. However, obesity is just one manifestation, albeit an obvious one, of lifestyle-related problems. Others include a range of health problems that have resulted from the environment and behaviours associated with our modern way of living. Inactivity, poor and over-nutrition, smoking, drug and alcohol abuse, inappropriate medication, stress, unsafe sexual behaviour, inadequate sleep, risk-taking and environmental exposure (for example, sun, chemicals and the built environment) are significant modern causes of disease. New and adaptive approaches to health management are needed to deal with these complex factors. Lifestyle Medicine 2e provides these tools to enable clinicians to successfully manage patients in our current environment. Key features of the second edition: - Four new chapters - New, two colour internal design - Up to date current research Lifestyle Medicine from McGraw-Hill Education ANZ- Medical

Corporate Explorers Transform Disruption Into Opportunity With This Proven Framework Innovation used to be seen as a game best left to entrepreneurs, but now a new breed of corporate managers is flipping this logic on its head. These Corporate Explorers have the insight, resilience, and discipline to overcome the obstacles and build new ventures from inside even the largest organizations. Corporate Explorers are part entrepreneurs, using innovation disciplines to jump start cutting-edge ideas, and part change leaders, capable of creating support for investment. They see that corporations already own the ideas, resources, and—critically—the talent to build new ventures. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Bosch, LexisNexis, and Analog Devices enable managers to put these assets to use and gain an upper hand over startups that threaten to disrupt them. Corporate Explorer is a guidebook to the practices that enable these managers to go from idea into action. It demonstrates how success is not only possible but may offer entrenched companies better odds than venture-capital backed startups. This actionable and proven framework explains how managers can become successful corporate innovators; it includes tools to: Learn how to apply innovation practices with greater discipline Turn great ideas into a full-time job as an innovation leader Experiment with and scale original business modelsTransform innovation programs into a thriving source of new business Attract, retain, and motivate entrepreneurial talent Energize employees by creating a realistic way to innovate These lessons come from the trailblazers of corporate innovation—Andrew Binns (Change Logic), Charles O'Reilly (Stanford Graduate School of Business), and Michael Tushman (Harvard Business School)—who have decades of experience helping entrepreneurial-minded executives activate employees to become Corporate Explorers. Entrepreneurs take notice—it's time for Corporate Explorers to set the pace and chart the course for disruption.

Den moderna livsstilen med osunda vanor och mycket stillasittande har spridit sig över hela världen. Sömnbesvär, stress och depression har blivit nya folksjukdomar. Alkohol och andra beroendeframkallande medel utgör ständigt ett hot mot hälsan. Även om kunskapen om levnadsvanornas betydelse för vår hälsa har ökat markant under det senaste decenniet, har också förvirringen och osäkerheten om vad som faktiskt är bra för vårt välmående ökat. Mot bakgrund av detta har det blivit allt viktigare att alla som arbetar med levnadsvanor och hälsa fortlöpande uppdaterar sina kunskaper. Vilka levnadsvanor har störst betydelse för vår hälsa idag? Hur kan de mätas? Vilken är den vetenskapliga evidensen? Svaren på de här och många andra viktiga frågeställningar ges i denna första svenska lärobok om ”Lifestyle Medicine”. Avsikten med boken, som också ska ses som en praktisk handbok, är att på vetenskapligt underlag redogöra för vilka hälsofrämjande åtgärder vi med enkla medel kan vidta för att öka chanserna att må bra under hela livet. Boken tar inte bara upp de huvudpunkter som Socialstyrelsen redovisar i sin nationella handlingsplan – tobak, alkohol, motion och kost – utan även andra ämnesområden där vanorna är av betydelse för vår hälsa. Levnadsvanor – en klinisk handbok är en översättning från engelska och ursprungligen utgiven i Australien. Boken, som är bearbetad och anpassad efter svenska förhållanden, vänder sig i första hand till allmänläkare men även till annan vårdpersonal som arbetar med frågor kring levnadsvanor och hälsa.
