.Ross and Wilson Anatomy and Physiology in Health and Illness

by: Janet S. Ross, Kathleen J.W. Wilson

June 27, 2001
I've owned this book since my first year of nurse training in 1998. Ten years later and having been qualified for 7 years, it's still in regular use. I recently did my Acute Care Foundation Course for emergency nursing, and out it came yet again. It's easy to understand and logical. Each body system is covered separately, starting with the biology theory and moving on to talk about diseases which can affect that particular system. For anyone who wants to learn about human biology who doesn't like jargon and wants things explained to them in plain English, this book is essential.

.Letters from Egypt

by: Lucie Austin Duff-Gordon, Janet Ross

July 21, 1983
Lady Duff Gordon's account of her time in Egypt tells the at times heartbreaking, at times exhilerating story of an Englishwoman's immersion into Egyptian culture during the 1860s--the first of its kind, and arguably the last. The impact her Letters had on future travellers and the understanding of Egypt was perhaps, regrettably, not as wide or as deep as one would wish, considering the future of the Europeans in Egypt. Still today, her admirable open-mindedness and perspective is enlightening and humbling. She was a remarkable woman and her Letters are no less than a representation of that loveliness and dignity.

.Leaves from Our Tuscan Kitchen or How to Cook Vegetables (Penguin Handbooks)

by: Janet Ross, Michael Waterfield

February 24, 1977
I have had this book for a number of years and made many dishes on the basis of it. It gives a good understanding of what you can do with each vegetable that is used in Italian cooking, and also has some very good and simple recepies for maccaroni and risotto. It's not a book for making food look spectacular at dinner parties. It's much more a book that explores the taste of each vegetable either by a surprising combination with other ingredients (e.g. leek with ground coriander), or by an unusual process (e.g. boiled lettuce). In that sense it is very good to get a full understanding of the taste of each vegetable. So if you have a vegetable garden yourself, or if you want to eat vegetables in the right season, when they are fresh and abundant, ... Read More:

.Foundations of Anatomy and Physiology (Livingstone nursing texts)

1974-12
The book is a very good introduction to anatomy and the related concept of physiology. It is split into indexed sections that travel to all the systems in the human body, with clear and easy to understand diagrams. The wording is appropiately used to introduce the subjects and will be a good tool for school children and also those studying AS level at college.
