I got this textbook as a required book in my NP program. I have used it since then as a reference in clinical practice. The doctors in my office also use it as a concise, easy to use source of information. It includes details of therapy including price, that might be outdated by now but that at least provide information for comparison.

Primary Care Across the Lifespan was first recommended to me when I first became a nurse practitioner student at Georgia State University. Numerous books had been recommended throughout my program, but I found this particular text to be most helpful. It is concise, well organized and easy to use. Being a family nurse practitoner student, it was excellent because it focused on "care across the lifespan". I highly recommend this book and am grateful to that wonderful instructor who had recommended it me.

Robinson's Primary Care Across the Lifespan was first recommended on an NP listserv as "the book to have". I bought it right off the press and have used it as an essential reference. This book is one that you will pull off the shelf everyday, whether student or practitioner. It should be the primary text for FNP's for years to come!

Bottom line: If you are an FNP, or just want a great text for primary care, this is it. I promise you, you will use this book and wear it out.

Wonderful sampler of samplers. Excellent photos, good writeups.

This book was produced to accompany the special exhibit of samplers at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in the spring of 2000 and contains photographs of the samplers in the exhibition. Beginning with a brief history of samplers and with a sampler for every letter of the alphabet, it includes such treasures as a sampler fragment (1300) excavated in Egypt, a band sampler from Britain (mid 1600s), a Dutch darning sampler (1813), American pictorial samplers, exquisite Ayrshire work from Scotland and a splendid embroidered Mexican landscape sampler (see cover of book). For those who were unable to visit the exhibit, it is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a variety of samplers, from many countries, exquisitely stitched over a period of 500 years.

Blackwell Dictionary of Neuropsychology is an excellent sourcebook for quick reference to central issues and topics in the field. A bit disappointing, as it does not include everything you may need to know such as diffuse Lewy Body dementia, and some information you seek may require a second reference to a dictionary of neuroanatomy. Nevertheless, in addition to brief dictionary entries, it does include (a few pages long) excellent essays on major topics ranging from Korsakoff's syndrome to EEG and to personality disorders; and these are written by experts in the field. Highly recommended to junior professionals or postgraduate students in the field, it does make reference to topics of relevance highly practical.
