All you wanted to know & see about surgical knots, & more

When I was a medical student, I was frustrated by the lack of a good source for learning the things that I somehow seemed to be expected to know on the first day of my surgery rotation, in particular how to tie good knots of an appropriate type, reliably, quickly, and almost automatically.

This wonderful little book fit the bill admirably. Several of my friends at other medical schools subsequent bought it and thanked me for the tip.

The best of the West.

I teach wild edible plants and I think this book is one of the best for the West. It is an identification book, not a cookbook. It falls short on color pictures but has good line drawings.

It compares with Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants: Eastern and Central North America; by Lee Peterson; for the east. However it does not have all the graphic symbols of Peterson's book. (the best of the East)
