Obstetrics8 reviews
Steven G. Gabbe, Jennifer R. Niebyl, ...

Churchill Livingstone, 2007

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 ...
  
  











  



  
Rights of Man (Penguin Classics)9 reviews
Thomas Paine

Penguin Classics, 1984

The Hobo Philosopher
In reading Tom Payne it is best to go right to the horse's mouth. Don't buy a volume with a modern day author's interpretation. Tom expresses himself clearly, logically and in up to date readable language. He needs no interpreter. Read what he has to say for yourself and make your own judgements. This work is rather amazing when you consider the date that he penned these masterpieces. Don't pay ...
  
  











  



  
The History of Tom Jones42 reviews
Henry Fielding

J.M. Dent / Everyman, 1938

Hilarious, satiric classic
This is one of the best books I've ever read. The plot follows the ups and downs of Tom's fortunes as he travels the English countryside. While this in itself is entertaining and very well crafted, what sets this book apart is the wit, humor, and observations of the narrator. We get to meet a rich cast of characters, from all of the social strata of 18th century England. The protagonist, Tom ...

Mountain Magic4 reviews
David Drake, Eric Flint, ...

Baen, 2004

I only wrote 1/3 of this one...
... and I think the other 2/3 are really good company to be in. The third that I wrote (with Eric Flint) is "Diamonds Are Forever". I wish the blurb didn't spoiler it quite so much -- some of the things in the blurb are supposed to be revelations in the story. Anyway, "Diamonds" was very fun to write and I think anyone who liked my prior book "Digital Knight" will enjoy "Diamonds". ...

Biotechnology Unzipped: Promises and Realities, Revised Second Edition7 reviews
Eric S. Grace, A Joseph Henry Press book

Joseph Henry Press, 2006

compelling
BIOTECHNOLOGY UNZIPPED is the most compelling evaluation of biotechnology I have read since Harsanyi & Hutton's GENETIC PROPHECY of almost 20 years ago. What makes this book so insightful is the "tradeoffs" perspective that Grace brings to the subject. In every instance where a particular technique is either in development or on the market, the possibilities for ...

Official (ISC)2 Guide to the SSCP CBK4 reviews, ...

AUERBACH, 2007

SSCP BOK is just OK
Hi, This book is a necessary read to have a full grasp of what's included in the SSCP exam. Its dry and takes a while but I passed my SSCP on the first try using no other resources (there seems to be a limited number overall since most attention is paid to the CISSP). I suspect each domain was written by a different author because my ability to understand/retain the information was dramatically ...
