.The Chicago Manual of Style
City Travel Guides > Books > Medicine
from: University Of Chicago Press

August 01, 2003
I love reference books. I had an editing job that required me to have "15" so I had the perfect excuse to buy it. But what a difficult book to use. I had to check a few relatively easy things, and one or two obscure things. If the answer wasn't where I'd think it should be the book directed me elsewhere, an elsewhere where it was also difficult to find what I needed. It sure looks good, but....

.The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
City Travel Guides > Books > Medicine
by: Thomas S. Kuhn

December 15, 1996
I enjoy the reading. I have used Kuhn as a reference throughout grad school to justify my thoughts on leadership paradigm shifts. Kuhn's contribution had four positive elements: a) Mechanism of crisis: precipitation and resolution, b) Analogy of the historicity of science with evolution c) that science rewrites its own history, and d) psychology of paradigm shifts; that the paradigm is not completely defined by explicit prescription but also by a system of practices that are not fully articulated. In summary, Change is difficult. Human Beings resist change. However, the process has been set in motion long ago and we will continue to co-create our own experience. Kuhn (1996) states, "awareness is prerequisite to all acceptable changes of theory" ... Read More:

.Basic & Clinical Pharmacology (Basic and Clinical Pharmacology)
City Travel Guides > Books > Medicine
by: Bertram G. Katzung

December 05, 2006
Over the years I have purchased many editions of this classic text and have never been disappointed. Years ago I sat in Dr. Katzung's classes when he was a young man (and I was younger!) This book is invaluable because of its varied content--1. background physiology which is so important when one needs to review and keep up-to-date on new developments, 2. comparisons of chemical structures as new products come onto the market and 3. summary tables showing the different characteristics of the various drugs in any drug group and classification. This is the one clinical pharmacology text I wouldn't be without.

.Principles of Anatomy and Physiology
City Travel Guides > Books > Medicine
by: Gerard J. Tortora, Bryan H. Derrickson

April 02, 2008
When I saw the books, I got really enthousiastic. The forsight for listening to mp3 files on my iPod while studying on the road appealed to me. But when I registered online I noticed there are no mp3 downloads anywhere on the Wiley website. That said, there are soundfiles pronouncing medical terms but no audio lectures as promised in the book!

Wiley offers a student support website where you can view visual anatomy or other subjects from the book. You can search for chapters only to find that if you for instance go to chapter 21 and click on the listed mp3 items you are redirected to alphabetical lists of available files for all chapters and have to search for the requested subject by yourself.

For the written contents of the ... Read More:

.The Language of Medicine
City Travel Guides > Books > Medicine
by: Davi-Ellen Chabner

February 14, 2007
I actually have recently purchased this textbook/ CD-ROM combo from my college bookstore for a class I am taking and I find the book to be fantastic. It is just as all these many, many others have reported it to be: A SOLID 5-STARS! However, I could not possibly be more disappointed with the CD. All the PCs, laptops, a tablet pc, and even one iMac where I am far, far exceed the minimum system requirements to run this software, but it is nowhere near being in the same league as the textbook/ workbook it supposedly supplements. It is so poorly constructed that some of (many of) the features are practically incomprehensible. My very American, English-speaking, raised on computers, extremely pc-literate (but not always the most politically correct or polite!) ... Read More:

.Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain (Neuroscience)
City Travel Guides > Books > Medicine
by: Mark F Bear, Barry Connors, Michael Paradiso

February 01, 2006
I had a really bad experience dealing with this seller. I ordered my book on May 30, and by the time the estimated delivery date of June 23 had passed, I had tried to contact this seller three times without a response. Before I could file a claim with Amazon, I received an apologetic email from the seller explaining that he was unaware of my purchase and would ship the book immediately the next day. Alhough a refund was offered I foolishly accepted the order because I urgently needed the book. An additional week went by without a shipping confirmation and when I tried to get in touch with the seller again, I did not receive a response. I filed a claim with Amazon that is still being resolved. I would definitely avoid this seller and would buy your books from someone ... Read More:

If I didn't need it for a class...I would never have bought this.

It hurts my soft-science brain to read.
