This book is a wonderfull display of british artwork, it is also extremely informative and a trully usefull and pleasurable book to have. I can not recomend it highly enough.

This book is the Bible of Internal Medicine. Anyone considering a career in medicine should have this book in their library. Comprehensive and well written, it is the gold standard of medical textbooks.

This book is a medical tradition, and it is as important to doctors as their stethoscope.
It is very complete, there is no doubt about it. Every subject of medicine is covered, and for a reference book is a must-have. It is also written in an easy-to-read way, but some chapters are more difficult to understand than others, and like a good meal, in excess it can get heavy and occasionally become a brick, so slow-reading is advised. Also worth to mention are the atlases, that give a lot of pictographic information.
I would recommend it only as a reference book, because for the USMLE, or as a course textbook, it is impossible to read it all, especially if time is scarce.

In this collection of greatest hits by Swinging London plankholder David Bailey, we get:

Celebrities of the time, including pop artists, pop intellectuals, TV presenters, English film stars, and the emerging British rock glitterati. Of these last Mick Jagger appears the most frequently, evolving from A Portrait Of A Famous Person Taken By David Bailey to the most notorious man in show business by the end of the decade. A close second is fading golden boy Brian Jones. Among the more conventional celebs are Terence Stamp, Michael Caine, and Peter Sellers. Stamp is so young and unformed here that it is hard to recognize him at first; Caine is reduced to a pipe & black frame glasses Everyman; and Sellers' portrait looks like a Roman bust.

Documentary pictures of potato-nosed East Enders, including plenty of studio portraits of crime bosses the Kray brothers. Bailey won their respect for having come from the East End himself and achieving success. But, one photo shows the Kray twins with Bailey sitting in between, visibly hoping not to get bumped off.

Lots of images of the original super-model, Jean Shrimpton, mostly from Vogue layouts but also plenty from other photo dates as well. There is also a generous helping of photographs of model Penelope Tree, whose face Bailey aptly described as "an Egyptian Jiminy Cricket." We also see lots of other perfectly turned out Vogue models.

There are some exotic shots of Nepal and some snaps from his military service in Singapore, but the focus is in the main on early Sixties London. Though the book is not arranged chronologically, one can see his technical development, as he incorporates other photographers' ideas like askew framing, daylight flash, and tent lighting. There is a color section, but gorgeously inky b/w is the star here. Many of the subjects have been shorn of the celebrity that no doubt added to their portraits' impact, but that's no barrier to enjoying this big collection.

If your'e looking for a book to take a trip back to the late 50's through the 60's this is a good way to get there. The fashion and ad shots of Jean Shrimpton and other models of that era are a kick. Anyone into nostalgia of those times will find this book interesting, David Bailey seemed to be ahead of his time in his style and his photos are thought provoking as well as great pieces of art. He had some great friends (male and female) that became his subjects. I wish there was a book #2 to follow--this book made me want to see more of his work!

Bailey birthed the look and this book is chock a block full of it. It's a visual feast with very littly written clutter. A pity that there just wasn't a bit more...

HARRISON'S is synonymous with clinical books that worth their weights in gold. This 15th/ed CD-ROM maintained that tradition. It adds the much-needed portability to some 2700-paged heavyweight. However, the air-tight use-restrictions attached to the ...price is simply suffocating. I wish that the publisher had relaxed a bit!
Overall though, there were compensations. The CD contents are superb: far better than what the textbook versions offer. Anyone with interest in medical science should give it a try. It is elaborate and easy to understand. The excellent chapters on pharmacology and infectious diseases are particularly worth mentioning.

I have been reading Harrison's Medicine right from my residency. Its a fabulous book one can refer to as an undergraduate or postgratuate student. However for a practitioner one would prefer to have little more stress on management details. Adding audio to CD of the same book will make it more useful.

I selected this book based on the customer reviews. You folks sure let me down this time! Roots of Murder is so bad that I declined to share it with my circle of mystery-reading friends. The prose is flat and simplistic, written at about a 6th grade level. The characters are undeveloped stereotypes, with the possible exception of the protaganist, and she is a pitiful excuse for a detective. I expected to learn something about gardening, flowers, or the Amish, but there's no attempt to educate the reader. The worst thing is that there are some plot elements with the potential for hilarity -- like when the heroine is cold-cocked by a dangling corpse or when she tries to drive with a python slithering around her leg -- but it falls flat. Don't waste your time on this one.

Roots of Murder is fun not only because of a delightful and unusual sleuth and an interesting plot, but also because of its insight into Amish lives. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I bought this book on the basis of recommendations at this site as well as from DorothyL mystery list. I did not go wrong following the opinions of those readers.I found the writing to flow so smoothly that it was impossible to put down until I finished. A great read for a winter day. The characters and setting were quite realistic. Bretta is the kind of person I would like to know. The mystery was complex and clever. The only quibble I have is that for a "Gardening Mystery", there was not much depth in that area. Perhaps the series title "Florist Mystery" would not draw as many readers. I hope the characters I came to like so much will be around in a series of many more. I recommend this book without reservation to anyone loving a good mystery of the cozy variety.

I used this guidebook while traveling through Germany during Winter of 98-99. Its listings of both Berlin and Munich were relatively good. One thing I did not like about this guide was they rated certain hostels or places with their "thumbs up" recommendations. Their recommendation for Berlin, was this shabby, independent hostel with no lockers and the book said nothing about their early check-in at 10PM. Luckily, they let me in at the last minute. The staff however was generally helpful and helped compensate for the amenities the rooms lacked. Their coverage of Munich was good but no mention about the Euraide office in the train station being closed during the Winter. They had poor descriptions of whether places were closed or not during the off-season. They also gave poor directions to places sometimes, which was quite annoying. Above all, Let's go does a generally good job with their individual country guides (France, Italy) but this one was not up to standards.

I am an American in my mid-20's living in Germany. I have found the Let's Go 1999 Germany guide to be an extremely useful tool in traveling and touring Germany. I have especially enjoyed their camping recommendations. I have utilized two of their camping site recommendations and have found both to be very nice sites. They were clean, with above average amenities (especially by American standards) and were easily accessible to local transportation.

I have also enjoyed using this guide for its town information and recommendations. I find their descriptions to be not only informative, but interesting. I also appreciate the sense of humor they sometimes apply to their information. Other guides I have utilized (Fodor's comes to mind) have been dry and only list the typical tourist sites. Let's Go does a great job of finding some of the out of the ordinary spots to see. They also do a nice job of touching on the German culture.

I discovered Let's Go through a friend's European guide. I liked it so well I bought my own Let's Go guide for Germany. It has been a very useful resource, and I am getting ready to purchase Let's Go guides for elsewhere in Europe. Happy Traveling!

I think this book will help beginners and experienced painters. easy to understand steps and enough techniques to keep you practicing for quite awhile

This book personifies the exceptional exceptional work i've come to expect from Patrick Demarchalier. A must buy

Whitaker was a pretty far-out photographer, who liked to take images and add his own artwork to them. Some of the stuff he did this way is pretty poor, but when he sticks to straight photography he comes up with some good ones. (Others are blurry.) His posed photos of John and Cynthia at home are great, as are some of his shots of the Beatles on tour. Interesting.

This book is very appealing to the eye with all the colors different models but the fact of the matter is...it's boring. I bought this book and I do like it but i had antisipated more fashion images. I seemed to get a book full of glossy so-so pictures. The pictures where more avant-garde than of that of fashion photography. If your interested in a fashion photography book, you should look into the impossible image or anything by Nick Night. Hotel lachapelle by David Lachapelle is an excellent fashion book as well. I would recommend those books over this one.

well, it's their forth. good enough for people who don't read magazines at all, it gethers a lot of so-call contemporary fashion photos in a book for a good coffee-table vaule, but i think it's only "so-call contemporary", for something more contemporary, try "dazed/confused"

I bought this book because of the cover, and fortunately the content does not disappoint as well.

The images within this book are all technically perfect, so it also serves as a great learning tool for myself as a fashion/editorial photographer. It gives me inspiration and definitely shows me what CAN be done with the camera. The photographers featured in this book are mostly quite well-known with only a few exceptions and some of their ideas can make you wonder 'how on earth did he/she think of THAT?'. I recommend this book. A delightful tea time reading.
