This medical suspense is a real thriller! The author, Dr. Rob Litman really captures the reader's interest by defining the characters and bringing the reader into the story to make the reader feel as if they actually are involved in the story. It is creative and a real masterpiece! The entire story is brought together in the end where you are left sitting at the edge of your seat from the fast-paced medical thriller. I highly recommend this well-written novel! Definitely one of the best I've ever read.

THIS IS THE SON DR.LITMAN ROBERT LITMAN IT WAS A GREAT BOOK OH MAN IT WAS GREAT

Several years ago, my former mentor circulated this book in the lab. Until quite recently, my friends still found me quoting from it while talking about scientific ideas. Now, after reading the book for many times, and studying the characteristics of great mentors around me, I conclude that it's a marvelous book. Anyone who plan to have a bright scientific career should read this book. My only dissatisfaction is the book is so old. I demand a new edition or a sequel! And, I want more examples of such lineage of excellent scientists as described in the book.Surely, it's book that I will share with my student.

While seemingly on a mundane and complicated subject (pharmacology and its researchers), it is an easy read for any layman and very, very interesting (especially on the topic of malaria medications and their discovery and problems)... Very interesting how hitching your star to the right person can make your career...and how pettiness and back-stabbing can be so cruel and counterproductive... A very, very good read for anyone even remotely interested in science...

Robert Asprey has emerged as the consummate military historian. His recent works, which include War in the Shadows, The German High Command, and the two volumes on Napoleon, have brought him critical praise for their detail and keen insights into the minds of military professionals. To understand how Aprey arrived at where he now stands in the world of military historians, one must read this book, one of his earliers forays into writing. The budding historians would be well served by reading this book because it neatly folds details-analytical and precise-with sparse dramatization while giving the reader keen insights in the demeanor of the military mind at war. At Belleau Wood remains a masterful narrative and more importantly, the book has lost none of its relevance. Why? If the reader substitutes the situation in which the American Expeditionary Force found itself at Belleau Wood with the situation in which it now finds itself in Afghanistan, the relevance becomes all too clear: extended presence in an unfamiliar nation, stagnant combined-arms training, aviation limited by horrible weather conditions, and erstwhile allied support. The University of North Texas Press has done the military a great service by reprinting this book because the lessons learned can't come quickly enough as they gear up for a very, very, long war.

These famous words uttered by a Marine Corps Major sum up the fighting spirit of the United States Marine Corps. And "At Belleau Wood" is a fabulous glimpse into the "Old Corps." Rarely does a book so technically sound, and painstakingly researched, captivate the reader so fully. Appropriate for both the "armchair general" and the military scholar. If you are interested in either the origins of our nations "Premier Fight Force," or in the brutal combat of the Great War, this book is for you.

This book is the polished version of Elder B. H. Robert's autobiographical notes that he hastily dictated in his waning years. He had enough sense of history to realize that he himself was a hot historical item.

The polished version is in first person, and was obviously dictated, which is an asset. B. H. Roberts was one of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint's greatest orators, apologists, and scrappers, so the autobiography has the same rhetorical punchy-ness that that makes reading this book pure eye candy.

It is written in the first person, and Elder Roberts exposes his soul as he tells of his early childhood in Dickens's England, his emigration and journey to Salt Lake City, his hardpan life in the west, and his eventual embracing of the Mormonism. This man had one wild life, from rescuing the bodies of two missionaries that had been killed by a mob in the south, to running for the House of Representatives, and being denied a seat because he was a polygamist.

I confess that reading the life of the man is only half the story. Roberts had a very keen and grabby intellect, so you need to read his philosophical and theological works in addition to studying his life. He is considered the best intellectual among the Latter-day Saints. This is a very high honor, considering that he had a bare-minimum education, and was illiterate for the first eight years of his life. He was a self-made intellectual. Why do we, who have so much, do so little?

The only drawback is that Elder Roberts relied on memory as he was dictating, so some of the dates aren't accurate. Dr. Truman G. Madsen has written the definitive, and so far the only biography of B. H. Roberts called "Defender of the Faith: The B. H. Roberts Story," which is a better book, since it fills in the gaps, rounds out the edges, and gets deeper into his philosophy.

I was reading this on an airplane and told some of the stories in the book to the fellow sitting next to me. He was so interested that I just gave him the book so he could read it for himself.

This is the story of a 9 year old boy who comes to America from England with his 11 year old sister. The year is about 1867. The two of them cross the ocean, then they cross the country to the Salt Lake Valley in a covered wagon company. It is just amazing how he could survive such an ordeal. He has no shoes for most of the trip, and no coat or change of clothes. His shrit and pants are made from a policeman's coat in England. His sister gives him her slip to cover him at night and then he gives it back to her to wear in the morning. One night he climbs in a barrel to sleep. It has molasses in the bottem. He is too tired to climb our and so sleeps in it anyway. The next morning he is covered with the sticky surup. The only clothes he has are so covered with dust by the end of the day that they are no longer sticky. There are many touching stories in this book. His sister is so tender hearted that her tears drop on his feet as she picks the thorns from his bear feet each evening.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I couldn't put it down.

no substitute for your architectural consultant by your side but extremely informative and helpful.

It was a wonderful little book to assist you in every detail. If you didn't know something, or weren't quite familiar with it, you just looked it up in this book, and there it was plain and simple. It is short and to the point, so you don't get more confused. I am not that smart at computers, but it even helped me - alot! It is a great book!

This survey of the psychotherapy of unusual states focuses on panic as a life experience, reviewing its symptoms, causes, and providing insights into how patients cope with anxiety. Chapters will appeal to clinicians and psychologists, providing keys to therapy and models for understanding anxiety states.

Who knew that fear could affect people's lives in so many different ways? This book deals with nervous breakdowns; anxiety- and fear-related illnesses; even the ways that fear affects creative people, most notably Edvard Munch. It's definitely an eye-opener, and a page-turner as well. And it's got a great cover.

It's about someone who cares more about doing a good job then worrying about how much money he can make. If it wasn't easy to verify his many far out actions it would seem like fiction. He takes lots of chances.

"The Battle Behind the Badge" takes you on the streets of Kansas City with Captain Heinen as your partner. BEWARE! On your shift you'll not only encounter dangerous street thugs, but high-powered organized crime figures. When you return to the station house to file your reports, be prepared to battle corrupt police officials and egocentric city hall politicians. "The Battle Behind the Badge" is an excellent hardball account of Kansas City during a time when it was difficult to tell who the bad guy was. Captain Heinen is an honest cop who pays for his integrity by being yo-yoed up and down the ranks. He is Kansas City's "Serpico." This is a very good read that took a lot of guts to write.

As a survivor of the course based on this book and taught by Yuri himself at MIT, I must say that The Chicken from Minsk was a true challenge. The great thing about it is that it builds critical thinking skills while making even the nastiest math and physics (shall I dare say?) fun!

The former Soviet Union had a much more mathematically rigerous tradition in physics than did the rest of the world. These problems are word problems, and they will make you sweat. Ideal for the curious of all ages, but especially for teens, to keep their curiosity alive. I think highly of this book-gave 7 copies away this holliday season.

In this book (the twelfth edition) every economic subject is very well explained without difficult mathemayical concepts. People who like the mathematical approach can find something in the appendix. There are a lot of examples about real facts happened to real companies (Microsoft,...) or organization (OPEC...). The logic approach and the examples are very usefull for a beginner that first of all has to understand the main concepts rather than struggling in a difficult language or math.

The authors have explained all principles with remarkable ease taking numerous to the point examples.
