A truly enjoyable reading experience!
A mailman who was delivering mail to a new resident of a surburban home took
off in a hurry upon hearing the "friendly" woman call out to him, "Come on in honey,
and take your pants off!" The woman mistakenly thought that the mailman was her five-
year-old son returning from school. She discovered the truth when she went outside
looking for her son and discovered the mail scattered ...

Advanced Health Assessment & Clinical Diagnosis in Primary Care4 reviews

Mosby, 2003
A great resource for the novice or experienced NP!
Although the initial chapter on Clinical Reasoning and Differential Diagnosis is limited, it is a concisely written prelude to a wealth of focused symptom assessment strategies. As a practitioner and a faculty member in a nurse practitioner program, I have found this book to be an excellent teaching resource. Each chapter contains several of the most common symptoms related to a specific body ...

nice book
my family got this as a gift about 8 years ago. I don't remember much about it but I remember the stories about the mother losing her son during a skiing accident, the girl who bought her mom bobby pins for her birthday and the story where they're celebrating a grandmother's birthday and she dies at the end of the party after seeing her entire family at the celebration.

My 5 Year Old's Favorite Book
My 5 year old daughter takes this book out of the school library every week. Every once in a while we have to insist she gets something else because we're tired of reading it over and over. But it is a wonderful story with a very good lesson. I've decided to buy it so the other kids at school can have a chance to read the library copy.

A History of the Art of War in the Middle Ages: 1278-1485 Ad (Greenhill Military Paperback) 6 reviews
Charles William Chadwick, Sir Oman
Greenhill Books, 1999
Magisterial history, as it isn't done any more.
These two volumes present an enormous amount of information and analysis, well-organized and well-written. Working directly from primary sources, Sir Charles Oman has reconstructed innumerable details and outlines of this extremely poorly-documented period. It is not a novel, to be read once, but a reference, to be gone back to again and again. (In fact, it's mildly irritating that Oman ...

Obstetrics: Normal and Problem Pregnancies7 reviews
Steven G. Gabbe, Jennifer R. Niebyl, ...
Churchill Livingstone, 2001
The easier-to-read "Bible" of Obstetrics
There are two texts that are considered the most authoritative on the subject of Obstetrics. Williams is edited by the staff at Parkland, the largest Obstetric hospital in the U.S. and not surprisingly, they consider their text to be "the premier source for the specialty". Williams is also academically dry. Gabbe, by comparison, is easier to read and covers essentially the same material. This ...

Saunders, 2002
Truely a Work of Art !!!
There was a lacuna in the field of gastroenterology but with the introduction of this masterpiece, that gap too has been filled. Amazing insight and utmost simplicity of presentation has made this a prized posession, at least in my collection and I hope that it will be so for many many people across the globe.

Oxorn-Foote Human Labor and Birth1 review
Harry Oxorn
McGraw-Hill Medical Publishing, 1986
Human Labor and Birth
As one who has been studying the science of midwifery for three years, I can say that I have loved this book! There are many reasons for this love: 1) HL&B covers nearly every conceivable obstetrical topic succinctly yet thoroughly. If you want the low-down on anything from umbilical cords to breech delivery to sacculation of the uterus, this is the book to go to! You won't find any extraneous ...

STUART DAVIS RULES!
Right off the bat you should know I keep buying this book because I keep giving my current copy away to people I love. This book brilliantly presents superlative examples of why Stuart Davis is seen by artists & art historians alike as one of the greatest American painters of the 20th Century. A thousand imitators have followed after Davis, trying to match his genius for both capturing and yet ...

A History of the Art of War in the Middle Ages: 1278-1485 (History of the Art of War in the Middle Ages)1 review
Charles William Chadwick, Sir Oman
Greenhill Books, 1991
One of the best sources of how war was fought in the Middle Ages
I read this book for a graduate course in medieval history.
Charles Oman's great book "A History of the Art of War in the Middle Ages" is a great comprehensive work for warfare of the period. It is especially useful for battle descriptions of English wars against the Scottish, and for the Hundred Years War. Oman writes that the lesson of the Battle of Falkirk in 1298, was clear for any ...
