As a general medical transcription reference, "Stedman's Medical Speller" is an outstanding first-line choice. Distilled from the vast tome of the 26th edition Stedman's Dictionary, this has, according to the editor, 113,000 entries that not only include medical terms but also variant spellings, phrases, and some useful medical jargon. It is completely cross-referenced which is a godsend when one is trying to interpret that-all-too-frequent mumbling dictator. Excluded from this book are terms in pharmacology, pathology, biochemistry, veterinary and abbreviations.

It has several appendixes which include rules of hyphenation [admittedly not used much nowadays with word-wrap computer programs] and another on medical prefixes, suffixes and combining forms.

This 1996 Second Edition book is an excellent reference source. As a full-time medical transcriptionist, I have used it frequently and can vouch for its comprehensiveness.

I have used this book at work and am now purchasing it for home use. This is a must have book for any medical transcriptionist who cares about his or her work and its quality. If you purchase no other book, purchase this one!

With this marvelous book, Dr Abelow has proven himself to be the proverbial "Bill Nye, The Science Guy" of Acid Base. Understanding Acid-Base is the perfect book for medical students, residents, and anyone hoping to gain a thorough understanding of Acid-Base quickly and painlessly! The text is clear, beautifully written, and surprisingly interesting. It reads fast, and - like Costanzo's Physiology - seems to anticipate your questions as you read along (the sign of a great teacher). Buy this book, AND KEEP IT! You'll find yourself going back to it again and again.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! The epitome of what an introductory medical text should be. Very clear and concise. This should be required reading for Internal Medicine, Pulmonary/ICU, and Nephrology.

Gina Wilkins is one of my favorite authors. Her writing is beautiful and humorous, I have yet to read a book by her that I don't like. Thanks for some pleasant reading hours, Gina.

I read this novel a few years ago and I cannot stop thinking about it. I thought that it was a wonderful story, both sad and endering. I really loved it and when I found out that there was a part two called "A Wish For Love" I searched everywhere for it but i could not find a copy. I only recently found out that it was out of print. I would love to read the second novel about the twin brother, I'm sure it will be as great as the first one. Thank you!

This book was good it's about two orphans, Pip and his sister Kelsey and their Christmas wish is to have a Mom and Dad and they have selected a lady named Ryan Clark who owns a Doll shop and a guy named Max Monroe and they set about in trying to make their wish come true.

This book is very well written. It includes not only basics for the beginner, but wonderful charts for the experienced stitcher to work from. There is a brief history of blackwork. The section covering materials and equipment needed does a good job of briefly covering the items most commonly available to all stitchers. Other sections include: laying out a design, choosing fabric, tips on stitches and framing your finished piece. There are around 100 charts in the book including fill-in patterns, borders, and an alphebet. All in all, a great source book.

I want to learn about life, thourh this book, about lord krishna, & Indian culture, by hepl of this, I wish to make by life live for the world, & be a good human, be a part of society, be true.

It is the most usefull and practical book about bone marrow pathology that I ever read. It includes allmost all disease entities (malignant and non-malignant) that pathologis is facing in his daily diagnostical peripheral blood and bone marrow investigations. Every entity is described in great detail, separetely concentrating on cytology of peripheral blood, cytology and histology of bone marrow. This is quit unique way of entity descriptions and I think it is very usefull, because it gives to the reader complete and integrated picture of cytological and histological findings. Many other books about the bone marrow pathology does not say anything about the cytology of peripheral blood. There are few things hovewer, that could be delt in more detail. One of such things is that, there is to little comments on differential diagnosis. The other thing is that pictures could also be of better quallity. Despite those few missing things, this book is No1. descktop reference for pathologist who is in charge of daily bone marrow investigations.

I work at a Cherokee historic site and I highly recommend this book. It reads like a novel and is gripping! By far the most in-depth, unbiased work written on the "Trail of Tears". If you buy no other Cherokee history book, buy this one!

Nothing spectacular to write home about. When I bought this book, I was hoping for the old radio dramas that I used to listen to when I was a kid on Sunday nights. I will say that there were some very good stories. But a few left you rather wanting.

From the back of the book: "Dana Preston was wary when Cody Carson proposed a temporary engagement - even if it was just a prank on his meddling, matchmaking family. But although he never could have guessed why, a fake fiance was just what she needed right now.

Dana never expected to love Cody's family so much, or for them to be so thrilled at his choice in a bride. So when he discovered her secret and offered a real wedding, Dana had an impossible choice. Could she spend her life with a man she loved - and who would be the perfect husband - but who might only be doing the honorable thing?"

This book is a continuation (Part 4) of Gina Wilkins' "Family Found" series. Dana's Grandmother, Granny Fran, continues to play matchmaker to great success. A delightful read!
