Answers every doc's question but no recent editions
I've used Sodeman's 7th edition repeatedly and find the explanations to be unsurpassed by any other book. The authors truly illustrate the mechanisms by which symptoms and disease are produced. I regret having to move on to other texts because the publishing date is from the dark ages. Sodeman's should be re-released.

Art, sex, power and money - what more can you ask for ?
This is my "all time favorite" book. As the cover review says, you will enjoy this novel - unless money, art, power and sex bore you. I have read it a dozen or more times. I can open it at any page and find myself unable to put it down. I won't take it out of my house in case I loose it, although, thanks to Amazons' out of print service, I now have a second copy.

Michael Thomas, with his background in art and banking has written a most wonderful novel linking these two subjects. The banking and Wall Street angle is ruthless and cynical, whilst some of the passages describing the (imaginary) Watteau paintings, move me almost to tears whenever I read them. So compelling was his, or rather his character Nick Revery's, praise of Watteau that I journeyed to Berlin, principally, to see "Pilgrimage to the island of Cythera" in the Charlottenburg.

I can't understand why books as wonderful as this can be out of print. Although written in 1982, it would be accurate and prophetic if written today, such was Michael Thomas' foresight.

Wonderfully written Mormon Scholarship
Thomas is an insightful gospel scholar, but also a lyrical writer. I found her book a delight to read. Thomas earned a Ph.D in early Christian history and was a professor of ancient scripture at BYU until a calling to serve in Argentina with her husband as a Mission President. Reviews have been especially strong. A reviewer for the Association of Mormon Letters wrote: "I expected a sort of schmaltzy, feel-good women's book . . . However, I found this book to be completely different from my expectations -- it is thoughtfully written and gives many new doctrinal insights. Thomas uses wonderful quotes from church authorities to substantiate her ideas, and offers many fresh perspectives into frequently discussed topics. . .
I definitely recommend this book -- I didn't find it to be the "light" reading that I expected, but instead discovered that it was "heavy" with insightful ideas for coping with the struggles of temporal life." (Jana Remy). BYU English Professor Richard Cracroft calls it a soul-satisfying book, adding: "Reminding us in skillful prose "that we came down to a fallen world to experience deliverance from it," she points out that our many mortal burdens may be lightened by faith in a God who is in charge and "will bring to our attention that which it is necessary for us to know when we need to know it."("'High Time to Awake': LDS Books That Awaken the Soul," Brigham Young Magazine, Fall 1997).

"The Doer of Our Deeds,"
Premortal Election and Grace,
Women, Priesthood, and the At-One-Ment,

A great look at the value of heritage, and a fantastic read!
This book is a fantastic read!
Not only because of the fact it has so many great archive photos, some of which I haven't seen before, but because it takes a look at the immigrant anthracite coal miners personal story, including the organization of the UMWA, (United Mine Workers of America), as well as the role of coal mining being an integral part of the Industrial Revolutions starting drive. I found it to be well worth it's value, (29.99 plus ship/hand) especially since the 100th anniversary celebration of the Great UMWA Strike is here, (1902 was the Strike). It complements the PBS broadcast, and EMMY nominated film it was based on nicely. (the VHS of the film is available for purchase also, I got that too). But in any light, it makes a great coffeetable book, as well as a nice conversation piece for gatherings, and is highly recommended by this lover of heritage.

Summit

Average review score:

A hilarious and scary look at 1980's world politics.
D.M. Thomas, author of the acclaimed White Hotel and Flying into Love here turns his attention to the tense, serious world of international politics, and compleatly makes a mockery of it.

The book centers on the Summits held in the 1980's between the leaders of the USSR and the USA, who are thinly veiled characatures of Reagan and Gorbrechev. The novel has little positive to say about either of them, and generaly terrifies the reader who thinks that all summits run as this one does.

Thomas's book is insightful, readable, and absolutly laugh out loud funny. It is quite possible, in fact, that this is the funniest book I have ever read. It is short, you can read it in one sitting, and you will have a fantastic time doing it. I highly sugest you read this book.
