PITCH: The 13th edition of "Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology" continues this bestselling title's long tradition as the world's foremost medical physiology textbook. Unlike other textbooks on this topic, this clear and comprehensive guide has a consistent, single-author voice and focuses on the content most relevant to clinical and pre-clinical students. The detailed but lucid text is complemented by didactic illustrations that summarize key concepts in physiology and pathophysiology.

KEY FEATURES:
* Larger font size emphasizes core information around how the body must maintain homeostasis in
order to remain healthy, while supporting information and examples are detailed in smaller
font and highlighted in pale blue.
* Summary figures and tables help quickly convey key processes covered in the text.
* Bold full-color drawings and diagrams.
* Short, easy-to-read, masterfully edited chapters and a user-friendly full-color design.

New to torrenting? On file sharing and SEEDING (BitTorrent protocol) (PDF, 18 kB)

SUSTAINABLE TORRENTING: YOU DOWNLOAD ONE COPY OF THE DATA FILE FROM THE SHARING SWARM OF CARING USERS AND YOU UPLOAD - SEED - (AT LEAST) ONE COPY TO THE SWARM IN RETURN TO CARE FOR OTHER USERS.

Apart from Google that crawls the whole web and downlists (if not delists) torrent links, multi-metasearch engines aiosearch.com, torrentz2.eu, and re-indexers BitTorrent Database, zooqle.com will help you in your search for torrents (and only torrents) floating in torrent space. You can search these sites by keyword(s) from title or author's name and, with some, by hash code.

Remember that, once created, torrents never cease to exist even when de-indexed, DMCA'd or left for dead - unseeded. And that a torrent listed with no seeds on a particular set of trackers is not necessarily a dead torrent (Good critters inhabit the DHT-PEX layer though they aren't accounted for in torrent stats).
