.The Study Skills Handbook
City Travel Guides > Books > Education
by: Cottrell, Stella, Dr

February 22, 2008
I am a mature student and was advised to buy this when I started my Access to HE course many years ago. I dutifully went and bought it alongside The Good Study Guide by Andrew Northedge and I have to say that this book is worth its weight in gold compared to the book by Northedge. This is not a comparison so I shall move on to say that every aspect of study - whether its organizing your time, planning backwards from deadlines, learning how you study best or even looking at personal development is covered in this excellent resource. It is designed in a user-friendly way which allows you to either read it all the way through or dip in and out of it depending on your needs.The book is designed in a clever way with charts, pictures, examples etc ...

.IEE Wiring Regulations 17th Edition : (BS 7671: 2008)
City Travel Guides > Books > Education
by: Institution of Engineering & Technology

January 21, 2008
I am about to order this. After reading the reviews I can't wait to get my hands on this and read it cover to cover to get all 17th,ed and ready for my next NICEIC inspection. It will be great, more regs, more questions, more trying to explain to customers. I may opt (have to) to go on a course aswell which is excellent as I was wondering where to go on holiday this year. Roll on the ammendments. There may even be a prequel and some retro bonding moments to come.

.Ross and Wilson Anatomy and Physiology in Health and Illness
City Travel Guides > Books > Education
by: Anne Waugh, Allison Grant

April 11, 2006
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.

.Mathematics Explained for Primary Teachers
City Travel Guides > Books > Education
by: Derek W Haylock

November 15, 2005
This is the book to buy on teaching this subject. It is clearly written, beautifully laid out and provides self assessment exercises to work through in order to clarify what has just been read. There are more provided on the cd rom at the back of the book too. If you are teaching this subject for the first time, moving up or down years or simply want to refresh your knowledge and rekindle your enthusiasm then this is the book for you.

.Gray's Anatomy for Students: with StudentConsult Access
City Travel Guides > Books > Education
by: Richard Drake, A. Wayne Vogl, Adam W. M. Mitchell, Adam Mitchell

October 05, 2004
this is a great, well organised textbook... a very good aid to learning. the only problem is, there's a factual mistake on every other page! all anatomy textbooks have mistakes, due to rushing the books through editing, but gray's is especially bad! make sure you buy another book if you want to gain a more accurate knowledge and read about topics from a number of different authors

Great book, great for all levels - good mix of theorists, excellent links to more information. Good links to those who oppose the theorists cited and why - would recommend as a good basic book for any level of learning

.Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine (Oxford Handbooks Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Education
by: Murray Longmore, Ian Wilkinson, Tom Turmezei, Chee Kay Cheung

January 04, 2007
Have had every edition and I still carry a copy in my bag. Anyone doing acute takes who thinks they don't need to reflect on some aspects of some cases will come to grief. I am reassured when I see junior docs carrying a well worn copy.

.Teaching Today - A Practical Guide Third Edition: A Practical Guide
City Travel Guides > Books > Education
by: Geoff Petty

August 09, 2004
I was fortunate enough to be taught by Geoff Petty when I was taking my Cert. Ed. It spoke volumes that, while other lecturers' classes were sporadically attended, it was difficult to get a seat in Geoff's classes!

This man is an inspirational teacher and it comes across in his writing, which is full of easy-to-follow concepts and examples. If you aspire to be an inspirational teacher too, or if you're just trying to find ways in which to get through the day a bit more easily, then you need this book on your shelves.
