Bücher von Peter Richards

Realistic yet encouraging, responsible yet wryly humorous, this is the book that all final-year medical students and junior doctors will need in planning their careers. Written by the Dean of a London medical school it brings together essential information on all the specialities, both hospital-based and in the community.

Learning Medicine is a must-read for anyone thinking of a career in medicine, or who is already in the training process and wants to understand and explore the various options and alternatives along the way. Whatever your background, whether you are school-leaver or mature student, if you are interested in finding out more about becoming and being a good doctor, this is the book for you. In continuous publication since 1983, and now in its eighteenth edition, Learning Medicine provides the most current, honest and informative source of essential knowledge combined with pragmatic guidance. Learning Medicine describes medical school courses, explains foundation years and outlines the wide range of speciality choices allowing tomorrow's doctors to decide about their future careers; but it also goes further to consider the privilege and responsibility of being a doctor, providing food for thought and reflection throughout a long and rewarding career.

En Burlington, Vermont, trabaja a oscuras y segura Peter Richards, poeta y pintor norteamericano desconocido en lengua española: un poeta que se sale del plato, rompe con la creación al uso (normativa) en un país con una extraordinaria tradición poética y pictórica de ruptura y modificación que está en peligro de extinción y que Richards rescata (reanuda) en solitario, haciendo una poesía de la dificultad inasible, densa, cuyas fuentes no son fáciles de rastrear. Poema a poema siempre encontramos algo que nos conmueve, pugna y espiritualidad que a la vez se nos escapa y resulta en una consternada participación. (José Kozer)
