I had this book which was the previous edition. I was satisfactory with this book. I liked its pictures, and they helped me very musc. So I want to have its CD edition. I'll be happy to get this book as soon as possible.

This two volume set covers medical and surgical retina. It has many fine color photographs and is written on a high level. It seems to fill some of the gaps left by the Ryan Retina series. Drug coverage seems up to date, and treatment recommendations are current

This is an excellent complement to the book Epidemiologic Research by the same author.

Tara King is an amazing artist! The pictures alone sell this book.

Barry Gott provides the fun cartoon cover and black and white occasional drawings to spice Horace Splattly: Terror Of Pink Dodo Balloons, a story of the 'cupcaked crusader', who finds himself in trouble when pink flamingo balloons overtake the town. Horace eats his sister super-power cupcakes to turn himself into a Cupcaked Crusader but now he's in trouble with the police in this whimsical, zany adventure.

This book is perfect for anyone who owns a home--especially and older home. From the first chapter, which describes in detail how to strip a room down to its bare bones, to others which describe how to make repairs to staircases, wallpaper around arches and other obstacles, lay flooring, etc., this book is packed with information and step by step instructions. Each chapter is divided into different tasks (for instance, the chapter on refinishing a hardwood floor separates out the tasks of sanding, repairing cracks, replacing a damaged board, and others), and each task is summarized with an approximate skill level, working time, and tools needed.

Great book.

Despite its slow start and somewhat dull style, the dynamite content of this book is worth mining: What work habits do Winston Churchill and Steven Hawking share that helped make them incredible acheivers? How can a simple 20 minute break (two or three times a day) profoundly affect creativity, productiveness, body fat storage, and problem solving?

A long time ago I read somewhere that the British army once made record time over some incredible journey on foot by the simple trick of resting many short times each day. I've often pondered how to apply this to my own marathon workaholic style and this book is the answer I sought. Attention workaholics - this book is for you.

What absolutely free and painless thing can we do to work smarter, think better, boost creativity, and lose weight? The answer (and the scientific evidence) is right here. My guess is that techniques described here will massively boost productivity - and health! But my fear is that this man and his theories are ahead of his time. And his lackluster writing style will fail to start the revolution to this "tortoise" style of winning life's race to achievement and health.

Highly recommended for content, this book's only flaws are style and organization (surprising from publisher Jeremy Tarcher). Somebody else will probably rewrite this info into a bestseller. But if you're ready for some terrific advice now - be ahead of the crowd - buy this and read it. Life changing.

This is a beautifully illustrated book aimed at a very specialized audience. 'Underground' in the title refers to the London Underground, or what Americans would call the London Subway. There aren't many people interested in the architecture of London subway stations, but this book is for the few readers that are. Lawrence traces the history of London subway station design from its beginnings in 1863 up to the Jubilee Line (not open at press time, but illustrated with color photos of architectural models). The book focuses on the design of street-level structures, and there is also an emphasis on the tile used to line deep-level stations. The thrust of this book is solely on the aesthetics of station design; there is nothing here on track diagrams, and very little on issues of passenger flow through the stations.

This is mainly a book of illustrations, in which the text exists primarily to explain the photos and drawings. On average, there are more than two illustrations per page, mostly b&w photos and diagrams, but also a sprinkling of color diagrams. Toward the end of the book (the 70s, 80s, and 90s), almost all the illustrations are color.

When I teach plate tectonics to my high school students, I ask them to consider the difficulty of building a comprehensive theory of the surface of the Earth when you don't know what three quarters of that surface looks like. I also mention how amazing it is that Alfred Wegener got as far as he did with continental drift without the detailed knowledge of the sea-floor that led to the modern theory of plate tectonics. David Lawrence has done a supremely good job at telling the adventurous and exciting history of plate tectonics in his book Upheaval From The Abyss. This book has got it all: ships, submarines, sonar, scientific [and emotional] arguments, sea-floor spreading, subduction, explosives and so much more. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to go deeper into the history of plate tectonics than does the standard cardboard cutout version found in most textbooks, and especially for those interested laypeople not ready to dive into Naomi Oreskes' excellent, but highly detailed The Rejection Of Continental Drift. I really enjoyed Upheaval From The Abyss and feel that others will, too.
