i love this book!
This parasitology textbook is the highlight of my second year in medical school. Most of my classmates do not rely on this book as their study tool, but to me, it is everything that will help me get through my parasitology course. The details regarding pathological symptoms, treatment and diagnostic methods are very clear and easy-to-read. A must for medical students taking parasitology!

A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO CLASS-NOTES
The portable cards which constitute this 'book' are well-designed. They will assist any student who is taking undergraduate organic chemistry course prepare for revisions. Although that they lacked details in some respects, their coverage did embrace wide areas.
They are particularly useful in learning about the various nomenclature, as well as the physical and chemical properties of a functional group in a given homologous series.
"OrgoCards" impressed me with the way it handled those nucleophilic substitution reactions that members of Carbonyl group undergo. Despite its haphazard lessons on Acylation, its efforts on Alcohols, Aldehydes, Ketones, Esters, and Carboxylic acids are quite commendable.
This "OrgoCards: Organic Chemistry Review" should be seen either as a textbook complement, or a notebook alternative. I will suggest that you consider buying it if your lecturer is the type that is not enthusiastic about giving class-notes.

Fantastic!!!
These Orgocards were extremely useful not only while studying for my organic chemistry course but especially for the MCAT.

I tried making my own flashcards but I found them immediately obsolete after I got Orgocards which contain the critical information in a very understandable and easy to read format. They were also really a critical part of my studying for the bio section of the MCAT since a lot of the detailed info from o-chem had become a bit fuzzy by that point.

A definite must buy.

Wow, It is GREAT!
I used it for studying the o-chem portion of the MCAT this summer. These cards are fantastic, full of details and great summaries and figures. It is too bad that it was not available a year ago when I was studying for the course. Highly recommended!


Freedom of the Will
Published in Hardcover by Irvington Publishers (1982)
Authors: Jonathan Edwards, William K. Frankena, and Arnold S. Kaufman
Amazon base price: $34.00
Average review score:

the mire of determinism
Edwards advances the idea that in every snapshot of human life, we make decisions in accordance with our nature and disposition. Free will is compatabilist in that we have no autonomy other than to follow our greatest desire in any given instance. Not only does this exposition rule out the chance for true virtue--some good thing we do which we might not have done--but Edwards also has a hard time explaining how God is not the author if evil, given that human decisions are consistently determined according to a divine decree.

Great Work
This is truly one of the greatest works written. Daniel Webster wrote: "The Freedom of the Will" by Mr. Edwards is the greatest achievement of the human intellect." The London Quarterly Review wrote about this work: "His gigantic specimen of theological argument is as near to perfection as we may expect any human composition to approach. He unites the sharpness of the scimetar [sic] and the strength of the battle-axe." A former President of Princeton said that Edwards was "The greatest thinker that America has produced."

What determines my will?
This wonderful work is a good tool in learning of the greatness of Christ's grace, in overcoming our minds and hearts, and loving us to the uttermost. This should be in the library of every Christian family.


Healing the Eye the Natural Way

A unique, invaluable contribution to ocular medicine.
In Healing The Eye The Natural Way: Alternative Medicine And Macular Degeneration, homeopath and board certified ophthalmologist Dr. Edward Kondrot offers readers a twelve-step guide to improving their vision through vitamin and nutritional therapy, homeopathy, micro-current stimulation, and chelation therapy. Healing The Eye The Natural Way is a unique and invaluable contribution to the growing library of alternative medicine in general, and vision related medical issues in particular.

Fantastic New Hope for Those with Macular Degeneration
I was absolutely delighted to read Dr. Kondrot's book Healing the Eye the Natural Way. I am a Family Physician, a Homeopathic Doctor, and I have a family history of macular degeneration. This book helps me on all three of those levels. This book presents a sensible and rational, multi-disciplinary, holistic approach to eye health and particularly to macular degenaration. We need more information like that found in this book.

Revolutionary Treatments for Macular Degeneration
Given that it is estimated that 13 million Americans are to suffer from Age-Related Macular Degeneration, it is time that someone from the field of medicine step forward into the realm of natural medicine and give us hope. In this book, Dr. Kondrot introduces an alternative approach to help heal macular degeneration at a time that conventional medicine does not have much to offer patients with this diagnosis. Dr. Kondrot has introduced his approach in three main parts in the book. In the first section he teaches the value of a healthy diet, balanced exercise, and stress management. In the 2nd section, he recommends additional nutritional and eye specific herbal supplements to support circulatory and nervous system. And finally in the 3rd section, three revolutionary techniques are introduced: classical homeopathy, chelation therapy and micro-current stimulation. Most of us have herad of chelation therapy in relation to treating heavy metal toxicity or cardiovascular disorders. The idea of chelation therapy as a treatment for macular degeneration will strike most readers as quite novel. Likewise, many will not have heard of Microcurrent Stimulation, an adaption of TENS unit used for pain management, to stimulate eye circulation. In classical homeopathy, a correct constitutional remedy is useful in healing the person as a whole and can bring miraculous outcome when combined with the rest of the mentioned therapies. Patient testimonials are especially compelling. Readers will find this book easy to read because of its' simple language, slightly oversized font and roomy page layout. In addition the upbeat, and friendly tone provides encouragement and support for the readers in the healing process. Resources are helpful to acquire the mentioned products. It is wonderful to know that the material in this book is compiled from years of work and dedication of a respected specialist who has dared to go the distance in this field.
