• La presente obra proporciona una actualización de las innovaciones que aconsejan cambiar las categorías diagnósticas de los trastornos somatoformes en el DSM-V. Por ello, una de las ventajas de la obra es que en ella se anuncian los criterios que regirán la nueva clasificación unificada de la APA (DSM-V) y la OMS (CIE-11) sobre este tipo de trastornos. Es, pues, un tema de gran interés debido al insatisfactorio estatus nosológico de estos trastornos.
• Las contribuciones de expertos internacionales proporcionan perspectivas únicas de factores culturales que afectan a la presentación y el tratamiento de los trastornos somáticos en conjunto. Así, los autores llevan a cabo una revisión fascinante y práctica de los conocimientos sobre la epidemiología, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de las diferentes manifestaciones somáticas en los trastornos mentales, abarcando aspectos teóricos y prácticos.
• Además de proporcionar una referencia inestimable a los clínicos de diversas disciplinas, identifican lagunas específicas en la bibliografía de investigación y tratan temas nosológicos como avance a la publicación del DSM-V.
• Organizado desde el punto de vista del clínico, el libro revisa la más reciente investigación sobre fenomenología, etiología, curso clínico y opciones de tratamiento. A diferencia de otras publicaciones sobre el tema, "Manifestaciones somáticas de los trastornos mentales" explora el rango completo de esta categoría de trastornos, incluyendo el trastorno de conversión, el dolor crónico y la fatiga, la hipocondría, la somatización y la multitud de presentaciones de los síntomas médicamente no explicados, y revisa los retos culturales, diagnósticos y clínicos para tales problemas.
• Se trata de una lectura recomendada para psiquiatras, psicólogos clínicos, médicos de Atención Primaria, médicos de familia e internistas interesados en los trastornos somatoformes.

Manley’s Technology of Biscuits, Crackers and Cookies is widely regarded as the standard work in its field. Part one covers management issues such as HACCP, quality control, process control and product development. Part two deals with the selection of raw materials and ingredients. The range and types of biscuits is covered in part three, while part four covers the main production processes and equipment, from bulk handling and metering of ingredients to packaging, storage and waste management.

Eight expert authors have joined Duncan Manley in extensively updating and expanding the book, which is now some 25% longer than the previous edition. Part one now includes a new chapter on sustainability in the biscuit industry and the discussion of process and efficiency control is more detailed. In part two the information on wheat flour has been extensively revised to reflect recent developments and there are entirely new chapters on fats and oils and packaging materials. Photographs of the major types of biscuits now illustrate chapters in part three, which also includes a newly-composed chapter on the position of biscuits in nutrition. Finally, part four has been comprehensively reviewed and revised with the assistance of an author from a major machinery manufacturer.

With its distinguished editor and team of expert contributors this new edition consolidates the position of Manley’s Technology of Biscuits, Crackers and Cookies as the standard reference work in the industry.
