This is a superb book for any practitioner working in primary care. It covers all important subjects completely and concisely. I used it to review for my boards with the review book that goes with it and I was very prepared. I highly recommend this text.

I found this review book an excellent source of knowledge and simple to understand. This book by passes all the intricate biochemical details and present the meat and potatoes so to speak. The wisdom of the pearls make this book unique. I recommend this book to any professional in a primary care setting.

This is the most comprehensive and concise medical text that I have ever used....so reader friendly. It has over 70 contributors from all over the country.

This is a book I really enjoyed and I couldn't put it down. Casey and Lexie try to solve a hundred year old mystery. While they try to solve it the janitor from the library, Jake Colby, tries to get in there way so they can't solve the mystery and even sends them a life threatining note. Casey also promised a friend in the town he used to live that he would never tell anyone an important secret that they kept between thenselves about the death of another boy.

This adventure of Casey and Lexie will capture your child up in a wholesome yet fun and exciting adventure. The couple comes across some unsolved mysterious circumstances that places them in many life and death situations, but through perseverence and quick thinking Casey and Lexie pull through with flying colors.
These days when you find a good book for your kids, grab it, and this is certainly one your kid can't miss!

The Ceratopsia is not only the most endepth book written on the horned Dinosaurs, it is also an opportunity to read a book written by the historical figures that discovered and studied these great animals. This book is based on preliminary studies by Othnial C. Marsh, a legend in the field of paleontology. The book starts out with a brief biography of the author and then a short history of the Ceratopsia. From there the book goes into intricate detail of the anatomy of the Ceratopsians discovered as of 1907. This book also contains beautifully drawn monographs that cover every part of the skeleton. If for no other reason I would recommend the book for the monographs alone. If you are a true Dinosaur enthusiast who likes very technical books, this is a book for you. If you are not, you may find this book a little difficult to get through. Another excellent book on Ceratopsians that I recommend is the Horned Dinosaurs by Peter Dodson. It is also a highly technical book covering the Ceratopsians discussed in the Ceratopsia, plus the Ceratopsians discovered since then.

The Ceratopsia is one of the classic works of paleontology. Although it is over 90 years old, it still stands as the supreme reference on horned dinosaur anatomy. Highlights include a thorough description of every ceratopsid specimen known until 1907--this includes Triceratops, Monoclonius and Torosaurus. The illustrations alone are worth the price of the book. The fold-out lithographs illustrate the specimens better than any photograph ever could. They are true works of art. In my opinion, no reference before or since has come close to the descriptions, illustrations and usefullness of Hatcher's Ceratopsia.

I was raised on the ridge where this book takes place. These people were always real to me, and the way Mr. Stuart describes them is as true to form as possible. I read the book when I was a little girl and then again when I was in my teens, and for the last few years I have not been able to find it. I am happy to have the opportunity to let my kids read this treasured book. My son has actually been in the play that was adapted from the book. This book has been a part of my family's history since it was written, and being from the same places as the characters, and knowing the people of this community I am proud to say that I am a raised in the hills of East Tennessee, Newman's ridge runner.

This book was so great that my 4 sisters read it and we talked about it all the time. My nieces heard so much about it they have read it as well. We talked like the Huntoons and picked out their strange names to call ourselves. I've looked for it for years but I was spelling Stuart wrong so I couldn't find it on the library shelves. Now I can sign it out again and read it and relive my childhood. I also want to read more about the Melungeons.

Field guides are great for helping you identify the bird you just scoped, but once you want to learn more about the birds you've been seeing the field guides aren't of much use. This book covers a limited number of birds, but the information provided is excellent. He covers the life history of the birds, including a season by season account of the typical year in the bird's life. Mating habits, habitat preferences, and threats to their enviroment are some of the topics covered. In general, there are 3-5 pages devoted to each species. The illustrations are black and white, but are well done.

My purpose in writing with teenagers as main characters is to portray teenagers in a positive light, courageous, persistent, and decisive. While Casey Miller and Lexie Wentworth are not perfect, the perplexing situations they find themselves in provide the means for them to solidify their relationship, to use their heads to pursue clues that ordinary people might pass up, and to find a way to resolve personal problems. In this book, Casey and Lexie unravel a large corporation involved in stolen art. Again, as they did in Mystery at Salt Marsh Bridge, they find themselves in the middle of life-threatening situations, and sadly experience the loss of a good friend in a fiery boat crash for reasons they regret.

Meticulously researched and well written history of the coiners around the Yorkshire town of Halifax in the 1760's, and how they were finally brought to justice. You may be wondering why this is background for Wuthering Heights, well this is well in the territory of the Brontes, where lonely farm houses dot the moor and the winds wuther around the corners of these homes. It is also probable that Emily Bronte got the idea for her character of Heathcliff from a lawyer who features strongly in this case.

Because the value of the metal used to make currency was often greater than the face value of the coin itself, clipping and sweating were popular illegal pastimes to make extra money. Good coins were taken to secret places where metal was trimmed off the sides of the coins and later melted down and turned into new coins. The Halifax group of coiners were especially well organised, by a man know as 'King" David. When he found his little empire threatened he resorted to murder.

John Marsh has provided numerous maps, and photos (unfortunately all in B/W) to illustrate this book, including many facsimile reproductions of contemporary accounts of the crimes and the trials. Its a fascinating story, a great book and he writes of the subject matter well - bringing the era to life.

The cypress swamps of the southern United States were badly treated for years and decimated in many instances. However, their role in the ecology of the South became more appreciated as people became aware of the rare creatures and plants these forests and lakes held, and when they also became aware of their economic utility in such areas as purifying water, etc.

This book brings out these facets of cypress forests as well as clearly and excellently discussing the flora and fauna found in them. The discussion on these marvelous trees, themselves, is worth the book price. Excellent photos abet this effort very well.

The major swamps are covered on a chapter-by-chapter basis. The reader gains an appreciation of the unique nuances of each. I found the chapters on the Great Dismal Swamp and the discussion of the mysterious Carolina Bays most enjoyable.

Being a Michigander, the cypress swamp is not an item with which I became familiar until I was an adult, and even then, I had a great lack of understanding of how this eco-system works and why it is important to preserve it. This book greatly filled those voids in my knowledge.

Additionally, the book is a good vacation guide for anyone planning a trip to the South. These swamps, or at least one of them, are worth seeing. You will have a far better time, and understanding, of what you are seeing, if you read this book first. I recommend it very highly. It is one of the better regional ecology books in my library, and a real keeper. Certainly, anyone who teaches geography or biological sciences should own it.

This translation of Bultmann's concise and erudite work in the form-critical method of understanding the composition of the Synoptic Gospels is not for the beginner. Like Bultmann, the translator leaves the Greek untranslated. While a boon for serious scholars, this will make it difficult for those unfamiliar with the Greek of the Gospels. However as a complete work it remains unsurpassed in the school of form-critical method, but this also demonstrates the work's age, since source criticism has drawn the attention of scholars in recent decades. It is, however, a work that cannot be ignored; Bultmann's reputation as a scholar and theologian of the finest quality is permanent, and this book is an excellent illustration of why that is.

This book is filled with lots of hillarious song lyrics, ranging from the witty to the weird and silly and is useful if you feel the need to sing along to some of your favourite Python songs while listening to a Python* CD, especially when you come across parts where it is difficult to understand what they are singing. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend buying this book. The artwork is interesting**, but is not worthwhile in itself, and just reading the lyrics is less rewarding than listening to the songs. And none of the songs are new. So if you just like LISTENING to Python CDs and don't feel the need to join in***, there is no point in buying the book. Furthermore, if you want it for playing the songs on the piano, as some of the other reviewers point out, it is often difficult to read, and it is also impossible to prop up properly without causing some damage to the spine (of course if you don't care, you could just cut out the pages, etc.).

*Not recommended for singing along to death metal bands...

Wow. I have the big box set of Monty Python's Flying circus, and had basically memorized all of the songs. I also have most of the movies. So finding this little jewel was a real treat! Now I can play them on my trusty piano, and have the background music. This will make for some weird family reunions :)

This is a book for every Monty Python fan out there! It is really excellent, and includes almost all the songs, excluding a few of the lesser ones like "Sgnt Duckie's Song" and "The Window Cleaner Song" but just about everything else is in there. Admittedly, it's a bit annoying about some of the music being illigeble, such as "Eric the Half A Bee" appearing in a sphere shape, and "Bing Tiddle Tiddle Bong" being flipped totally around. However, it's still a great book, and the foreword, afterword, and middleword by Elvis and God are very funny. There's nothing better than to sit down at the piano sometimes and just play magnificent songs like "I've got a Ferret sticking up my nose..." This is a super book!
