Very informative
I had a general idea about how dental implants work, but this book really educated me. If you're thinking about implants, this book will really help you understand what to expect. Easy to read and understand.

The only book you'll need to read on the subject
I have heard so much about dental implants in the past few years, with more people asking for them, and more dentists offering them. I have a crown that really should be replaced, and I wanted to get an implant. This seemed like the best book to read on the subject, based on the title, so I got a copy. It's everything the title says. Easy to understand, a quick read and a thorough explanation ... in language that I can understand. Thinking about implants? Read this book!

Becker's Endo
Quite good in reviewing the basic pathophysiology of endocrine disorders.
This book is becoming the standard for fellows in endocrinology.

Concise Endocrinology Textbook
This textbook is very user friendly. I prefer this text over the William's textbook of Endocrinology. Very well organized with many good illustrations and tables. Has appendix of endocrine testing as well as common drugs used in endocrinology. Highly reccomended.

very informative and thorough
Dr. Pitmans book was very well written. It made me understand the whole process behind Liposuction and it does not make me feel afraid to embark on that journey if I ever need it in the future. A very intelligent man with lots and lots of enthusiasm and professionalism.

A good forum for new writers
This short story collection is a worthwhile read, and I will be looking up some of the authors featured. In particular, Andrew Sean Greer's story is heartbreaking; William J. Cyr's story has an interesting conversational, matter-of-fact tone; and the curiously named author "wormser" has a short but sweet entry. The best part of this collection, for me, is the interview with author Richard Bausch. I found it thoroughly inspiring, as it touches upon such problems as writer's block and having the confidence and determination to live a writer's life. The best part about Glimmer Train collections as a whole is that they give unpublished writers their first break, in addition to publishing established writers. More literary magazines of this caliber and spirit of inclusiveness are sorely needed!

Talented new authors
This is an enjoyable collection of short stories; although, as with other collections, there are a couple of weak links in the chain. Nevertheless, it's worth buying for Andrew Greer's story alone. Others are also quite good, such as Karen Outen's fictional debate on whether to have a baby, Wormser's story about a childhood friend, and William Cyr's original and witty (and, at the same time, chilling) story of a bad stepfather. I also enjoyed the whole presentation--with baby photos of the authors (as well as current shots) and their personal comments. Established author Richard Bausch talks about writing, racism, and life in general in an engaging interview. Definitely worth a read!

Excellant companion book for practice development
This book is written in an accessible and practical format. It assumes nothing but at the same time treats the reader as an intelligent participant on the journey to understanding evidence based practice.

It is up to date and I was especially impressed with the web address it gives to ensure the reader is kept abreast of any changes since publication.

It systematically explains the need and use of 'evidence', how to find it (the search advice is comprehensive and includes details such as search terms and the best search engines aswell as web addresses) how to evaluate it and also how to act on it.

All in all this book was great, and I would reccomend it to anyone involved in evidence based healthcare practice as it will guide you through the thorniest problems.

"COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER"
The novel starts with a lot of promise.....and somewhere ....it falters..... but i will definetly read Walt Beckers other books too.
A lot of research has been done and we are definetly forced to think about many things... i would literally take a pause and ask myself "yes, how come?".
The political angel is justified but some how doesnt gell with the flow of the book.Whatever happens to Veronica? I though she would have a larger role to play... but it was a cameo..
Anyways read it if you want to amaze yourself and also to gain some knowledge about our ansectors.... you will be amazed if this is really the truth........
A read which you might like and recommend to your friends.

LOVED THIS ONE! GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!
LINK was a great, quick read. The characters of Jack and Samantha were both well-developed and interesting and their relationship was involving, and not as cliche as other adventure books.

The writing was outstanding. Kudos to Mr. Becker for a great first piece of fiction. As I read many of the reviews, it seems some people have problems with a couple of factoids from the book, but perhaps they should relax and read LINK for what it is-- not dogma-- not philosophy-- but light, entertaining fiction reading. Well done! I continue to recommend it to all my friends and family-- and they have enjoyed it as much as I have.

If one is the ..., insecure personality type that loves to go after authors or try to critique books or other creative endeavors because they don't have an ounce of creative talent themselves-- then this novel might not be for you. It takes a liberal look at many established theories of science, though it never seems preachy. But if you can handle a little thought-provoking and an overall enjoyable read, then pick up LINK now. I tend to most agree with the reviewer that disagreed with some of the science presented but still recommended the book. It is better than most of the commercial fiction out there.

Crichton meets Indiana Jones and Mulder.
I absolutely loved this novel. Link is fast paced, action packed and filled to the brim with interesting bits of history. Who knew that learning about ancient civilizations could be so much fun.

While digging deep in the desert Samantha uncovers something incredible. Something that could rock the way we view humanity's origins. With the help of her colleague Ricardo she brings her old flame, Jack back to help with the dig. The situation becomes heated when Jack and Samantha's current flame, Dorn go head to head.

The dig leads them to the jungles of South America and to another ancient relic that might uncover something so fantastic and devastating that the world may never be the same.

Link is simply an excuse to let your imagination run wild. Walt Becker also based his plot on many tales of old, research and respected figures findings in the world of astronomy, archaeology, math and history. Link is eye and mind opening for those who are willing to look beyond it's premise as a thriller and see it for the amazing amount of research involved in the writing of it.

This book is a good read for those who enjoy thrillers, archaeology and ancient civilizations, outer space, Indiana Jones or the X-Files. Link kept me on the edge of my seat and I could not put it down. I can't wait to read more of Becker's work.

I've Been Hustled!
Actually, this book is amusing and might make a fun gag gift for a golfer, but as a guide to the rules and subtleties of golfs gambling games, it is of little use. My copy goes in my pal's Xmas stocking.

Not very useful
A cute novelty item, but not really useful. Johnston's book "The Complete Book of Golf Games" is much better.

Hustler's Blues
I was hoping to get more information than this book provides. I have found all the same information on the internet, if not more, than is contained in these pages. In fact, most of the book highlights the history of betting and some of golf's more renown gamblers. the actual betting games section of the book is pretty small.

The best part of the book is that it comes with "Don't Choke" ball markers that are great to mark an opponents ball with.

As a stocking stuffer the book is fine, as an end all and be all to golf side betting, it doesn't cut it.
