The Book in the Loft is the first in a sci-fi/fantasy series. The story involves the discovery of an incredible book, the powers of which allow the hero to travel from Earth to any of a hundred different worlds.But only one holds his interest, as it is to that world he must travel to find his grandfather, who mysteriously disappeared. Arriving through time and space, he is told by five “beings” he must fulfill a mission—about which he supposedly agreed to on Earth, but in fact knows nothing about—to end the “darkness” he will find himself in. He is not alone in his quest that takes him into battles in space and on alien planets. But to succeed, and to obtain the love he desperately seeks, he must travel back and forth through the powers of the book, not knowing if “time” will be his staunch ally or his bitter enemy.

The Book in the Loft

Andrew Dyson

The most common cause of mortality and serious morbidity due to anaesthesia is from problems with the patient's airway. The fibreoptic intubating scope gives the competent practitioner an unparalleled opportunity to secure almost any difficult airway encountered. Recent studies have also proved that it is a safe and reliable technique and it has been recommended as an important part of the armory of the modern anaesthetist. With the aid of a free CD-ROM, containing full motion video clips of some of the techniques involved and real-time views from the scope itself, Fibreoptic Intubation provides a clear and practically-orientated introduction to the equipment involved, before going on to describe the main indications for fibreoptic intubation and the variety of skills needed to make full use of the technique. A chapter on teaching the technique will be useful not only for beginners but also for their teachers. It is an essential reading for anaesthetists of all grades.
