More than a century ago, a curse was placed on the town formerly known as Collier's Bend, remaining dormant for decades. Now it is 1994 as university student, John Smith, opens a cemetery gate to retrieve an errant cricket ball and unwittingly awakens the curse. The Australian outback holds many secrets. From its early beginnings as a Cobb and Co. stopping point, Collier's Bend has been shrouded in a dark cloud under the control of its founder, Edmund Collier, and a much darker force behind him. Now three men must join forces in a challenge between dark and light. Paul Hutton is an English ghost hunter who has arrived to research the curse. Duncan Miller is a twenty-something former resident who has lost something precious and is now on a vengeful journey to punish those who took it from him. William Turner, the town's oldest resident, is destined to carry out his family's legacy. Will the three men find the answers they seek before the challenge decides the fate of Collier's Bend and the world beyond its borders? In this gripping horror novel, three unlikely partners must decode and defeat an ancient Australian outback curse before it is released on an unsuspecting town.

First published in 1939, Clark’s Positioning in Radiography is the preeminent text on radiographic positioning technique. Whilst retaining the clear and easy-to-follow structure of the previous edition, the fourteenth edition has been updated to focus on positioningand to align with current radiographic standards and the changing roles of radiographers in modern clinical practice. Each chapter has been revised to include comprehensive technique descriptors, tips on technique correction and basic image evaluation guidance, supported by high-quality, full-colour positioning photographs, digital images and illustrations. These enhancements are designed to assist radiographers in identifying how suboptimal technique can affect diagnostic outcomes. A new chapter outlines the clinical details and radiographic features of critical and significant pathologies which need to be escalated. Community radiography is included, highlighting how emerging technologies are facilitating the delivery of accessible diagnostic imaging services closer to patients’ homes. Additionally, artificial intelligence and dark field radiography are introduced. By integrating evidence-based guidelines and drawing on real world experience, the book provides clear, practical guidance that empowers radiographers to achieve optimal imaging outcomes while prioritizing patient safety and comfort. This edition represents not only an update of established techniques and terminology, but also a reaffirmation of the fundamental values that underpin the profession—compassion, precision and a steadfast commitment to continuous improvement in patient care. The changes made ensure that Clark’s Positioning in Radiography continues to be the definitive work on radiographic technique for all students on radiography courses and their educators, radiographers in practice and trainee radiologists.

Drawn from the renowned reference Clark's Positioning in Radiography, this bestselling pocket handbook provides clear and practical advice to help radiographers in their day-to-day work. Designed and structured for rapid reference, it covers how to position the patient and image receptor as well as the direction and location of the beam, describes the essential image characteristics, and illustrates each radiographic projection with a positioning photograph and corresponding radiographic image.This third edition has been updated to include new positioning photographs reflecting the dominance of direct digital radiography detectors (DDRs), helpful information on the importance of optimisation, exposure factors and geometry in image production, evaluating exposure in digital imaging and aspects of bariatric imaging.

First published in 1939, Clark’s Positioning in Radiography is the preeminent text on positioning technique for diagnostic radiographers.Whilst retaining the clear and easy-to-follow structure of the previous edition, the thirteenth edition includes a number of changes and innovations in radiographic technique. The text has been extensively updated, including a new section on evaluating images, The 10-point plan, which is linked throughout to a listing of Essential image characteristics for each procedure. The section on digital imaging has been expanded not only to elaborate more extensively on the technology but to demonstrate its various clinical applications.New sections also include imaging informatics and its role in the modern world of medical imaging, holistic approaches to patient care and discussion of the important aspect of the patient journey.Students will also benefit from more detailed reference to positioning errors and how to avoid mistakes, as well as a greater emphasis on standard radiation protection measures and guidance on the most recent radiation dose reference levels for specific examinations.Clark’s Positioning in Radiography continues to be the definitive work on radiographic technique for all students on radiography courses, radiographers in practice and trainee radiologists.
