As a nurse practitioner student, things were much easier once I discovered this reference. As a new graduate nurse practitioner, I KNOW I couldn't survive without this reference. With the focus on evidence-based practice, a provider MUST follow true, tested, approved guidelines to stay up-to-date and free of trouble! Worth every dime and then some.

This the "back bone" of my protocals. I wouldn't practice without it, and look forward to the new edtion.

"Clinical Guidelines in Family Health" is a great tool for the NP or NP student. It contains research backed protocols for managing various problems in the primary care setting. This book served as the core text in my introductory clinical course as a NP student and was considered an essential reference tool by staff and students alike.

This book is a must for any NP in Primary Care Practice. Well written, large print, easy to follow protocols.

This is a great book for nurse practitioner students and NPs. The information is very valuable and organized. I highly recommend this book!

"Great book!I haven't had time to read it until now, but once I started I couldn't lay it down. The chapter on Battery Wagner was very good and at times I could almost smell the smoke." J.O., Dunn, N.C.

"You have mastered the art of keeping us history enthusiasts thirsty for details of every moment of the Civil War and entertained with a good story as well." B.A., Trinity, N.C.

"I really enjoyed your book and hated for it to end." S.C.,Tampa, Florida

"Your book was absorbing and I gained an entirely new slant on Civil War history. As I recall, the cotton tax was never mentioned in history books I read. To look at the conflict from that perspective makes more sense." A.N., Greenville, N.C.

"I normally do not read novels and I guess I am a stickler for hard core history. I began reading your book yesterday and couldn't put it down. The pages give life to both the soldiers and the loved ones left behind. You have done a great job of presenting the history of the 51st North Carolina Regimant while giving it life through the conversation of its characters. Your book will have a special place on my shelf. T.B., Columbia, S.C.

"This book is a treasure for the Civil War buff.... We hear the soldiers speak, as they must have spoken, on topics that range from concern for the crop harvest to their philosophical opinions as to the causes of the war." G.F., Shohola, Pa.

"You have captured everything I have ever read of wondered about the war in 329 pages." G.R., Sanford, N.C.

"So many times I have read novels thet were so far off historically that I could not enjoy them and I have read factually correct books that read too much like a battle report and bored me. In your book, there is a perfect combination of strong history and just enough fiction to make you come away feeling like you know the characters like old friends. I haven't enjoyed a book like this in a long time." L.S., Smithfield, N.C.

The book in general is very good in giving a overall view of Casino games. But what makes it a Classic is the Chapter on BlackJack. I've read many books and articales on BlackJack and the chapter in this book is as good as it gets. The Basic Stragety for two decks is reinforced by the Giants of BlackJack. ( Thorp Braun Humble ) I first read the book 20 plus years ago. And have not seen anything that summarizes what you need to know about playing BlackJack any better.

The story starts during Medievel times and ending in the present day. All the stories revolve around this one book, a love story written when books were rare and costly. This book brings couples together...they love the love story. Some of the stories don't flow as well as others. hence only the four stars. Overall a really wonderful book, makes you laugh and it makes you cry.
