An Excellent resource for getting around San Francisco, CA, USA ... it's a tough city to drive in, and you always need a good map or reference around to get where you are going. Tells you where all the hot spots are - a must by for those that live in San Fran as well as tourists!

This was an excellent source of ideas for Family entertainment! It contained ideas for games, food, and easily made decorations. The ideas ranged from birthday parties to graduation ideas to showers to going-away parties. We found ideas for children were also included in this book. Finally, a party book with ideas easy to use! Buy it!

I am a student of Dr. McGoldrick and reading this book was a requirement of his class. It was a rather enlightening book which gave a brief overall picture of the history of the Bible. It starts with pre-Tyndale times and factors in Robert Barnes and Martin Luther and then follows through with Myles Coverdale acquiring permission from King Henry VIII to publish a version of Tyndale's Bible. It is a matter-of-fact book which helps to view the struggles of those early translators of the Bible.

You'll never tire of thumbing through this book from time to time and trying some of the author's "magic" on yourself and/or your friends. It's the kind of book you'd buy as a gift for your child or grand-child--after you've read it for yourself first, of course! It's a "keepsake" sort of volume that will never grow tiresome.

Great book for boards review, has an incredible variety of cases, and great discussion on each one. Well worth the money. This is the best all around nucs book i've seen.

Very easy to read for people that speak other language than english. Most complete review in pediatric nephrology.

This poem is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. I am not a specialist in Middle English, so I cannot say what was lost in the translation into Modern English. I have a copy of the B-Text version which is in Middle English, and if you are like me and have no background therein, this is definitely the version to possess.

It was written circa 1380 and gives an excellent account of life in Plantagenent England and the behavior of the people. The money economy was relatively new, and he saw the negative effects that it had upon both the secular authorities and the Church. The poem is written as an allegory in which the author tries to reconcile the needs of human society with satisfying our Lord our God. Similar to Pilgrim's Progress, the author has a vision, in which he is encounters different aspects of humanity (Covetousness, Sloth, Soul, Knowledge, etc.) on his attempt to find Truth (or God). It is definitely not light reading, and there is so much deep thought that one has to spend a lot of time reading it slowly, as I am sure it was done in the 'Middle Ages'.

The author thought that End Times were near after the Black Death and the utter corruption amongst secular and clerical authorities at the time. The fact that something so penetrating and inspirational was written and found such an appreciative audience that it has survived till now shows that the society then was not so bad. Highly recommended.

Textbooks are usually out of date by the time they are in print. Not so with Delbeke et al's new Practical FDG Imaging! This book is not only timely but excellent, written by outstanding clinical physicians and physicists who are also world-reknown educators. It is a very practical, "real world" book that is released at a critical time of explosive growth in FDG PET imaging. It stands alone in filling a badly needed niche in the education of imagers using this new technology.

The early chapters on the history of PET and the physics of PET are very helpful in understanding the basic science and political milieu involved in the subject. It is sad that this technology, with so much to offer suffering patients, has been held back by regulatory red tape and government shinanigans. PET still suffers in this regard to a large extent.

The later chapters are very instructive in pitfalls, normal varients, and in demonstrating "real" clinical cases, from the basic to the complicated - just as a practitioner sees in a "real life" practice of taking care of sick people.

If you are involved at any level with FDG PET imaging, I cannot recommend this book more strongly. You will find many useful pearls, broad understanding, interesting background, and exciting cases that will aid you (and your patients) immeasurably in delivery of state-of-the-art care in the foundation of 21st Century Medicine!

Well done, Delbeke and crew!
