Stanley Aylett's remarkable account of six years' service as a front-line surgeon with the British Army is that rare thing: a complete narrative from the first week of the Second World War until months after the final capitulation of Nazi Germany.  That war was the last Western conflict in which military surgeons performed operations immediately behind the front line, often in makeshift theatres set up in tents or abandoned, battle-scarred buildings. This memoir records the resilience & resourcefulness of the medical teams, fighting to save each wounded soldier's life, & the advances in medicine such as penicillin & plastic surgery that transformed their experience. The author draws on his extensive diaries to describe the first advance into France at the start of the ' Phoney War' in 19 the chaos of the retreat to Dunkirk & subsequent evacuation of British & French forces; the sea voyage round the Cape to join the Eighth Army in Egypt; leading a Field Service Medical Uni... ...

How should surgeons deal with cancer patients? The cornerstone of effective treatment is a multidisciplinary collaboration between many specialties in which surgeons are not only concerned about operative accessibility & technique but rather have a deep understanding of the fundamental biology of the malignancy they are dealing with & appreciate the reach of multi-modal treatment. This handbook is a practical reference for today's surgeons who actively manage cancer patients in both the acute & out-patient setting. It covers all the key areas, from initial presentation & diagnosis, investigation & staging, to active discussion in collaborative multidisciplinary cancer network meetings, operative management, post-operative care, & long term surveillance & palliation. Drawing together all the varied guidelines & source materials that form the basis of this complex subject, it is the first surgical oncology text that provides instant access to detailed clinical algorithms & operative techniques covering the wide range of cancers that general surgeons encounter, from GI tract to breast & endocrine cancers. Consistently sourced from current evidence based guidelines with a concise summary of underlying pathology & molecular biology, Surgical Oncology will enable the reader to knowledgably manage cancer patients from initial assessment to long term surveillance. It is an essential accompaniment for all higher surgical trainees from MRCS to the exit FRCS & EBSQ exams, & will be particularly useful for trainees rotating between surgical subspecialties, as well as having wide appeal to other members of the multidisciplinary team.

Surrey County Cricket Club have been involved in many titanic struggles over the years & fifty of the very finest encounters are relived within the pages of this book. With match reports, scorecards & illustrations, it recounts vital & historic encounters against rival first-class counties & touring sides from around the world. Many of the matches that will be remembered most fondly by supporters of the club will be from those years in which Surrey won the County Championship; the most impressive run of success was from 1952 to 1958, & this is reflected by the inclusion of fourteen matches from that era. Some matches have been included because of historical personal performances such as Jack Hobbs breaking W.G. Grace's record of scoring the most centuries in first-class cricket against Somerset at Taunton in 1925 & Pat Pocock taking seven wickets in eleven balls against Sussex at Eastbourne in 1972. Matches against the touring Australians, whom Surrey have beaten on nine occasions, also feature, including the famous 1956 match when Jim Laker took ten wickets in an innings. The growth in more recent times of one-day cricket is recognised with the inclusion of the incredible 2002 C&G Trophy match against Glamorgan at The Oval when many records were broken. This book is full of wonderful memories celebrating the great achievements of Surrey CCC over the years & is required reading for any supporter of the club. ...
