MRI in Practice (3rd Edition) 25 reviews
Catherine Westbrook, Carolyn Kaut Roth, ...
Wiley-Blackwell, 2005
MRI Bible
When I was training at the University of Pennsylvania this book was known as our "Bible". In short, it comprehensivly covers MRI from Atoms to Zipper artifacts. The book can be a little technical at times but unfortunatly, that's MRI for you. It does a great job at explaining the basic concepts of MRI and then building on those ideas to explain the more complex ones (K-Space headaches anyone?). A ...

A Guide to Econometrics39 reviews
Peter Kennedy
Wiley-Blackwell, 2008
A Must Have for Econometrics Students
I should have book earlier versions of this book. Kennedy's A Guide to Econometrics has been recommended to me by a few people for a few years now, but I only got myself a copy last year (2008) when the 6th edition came out. The author does a wonderful job explaining a lot of the econometrics concepts that may have been missed by standard econometrics texts. The reason may be that the format ...

Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy: Curiouser and Curiouser (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series)2 reviews
William Irwin, Richard Brian Davis
Wiley, 2010
Review From Books & Wine
Reading philosophy and literary theory related to books I've already read is like being given a key. I feel like I've unlocked some secrets within the text and have been given a better view of what deeper meanings Alice In Wonderland may contain.
Alice In Wonderland And Philosophy: Curiouser and Curiouser is comprised of four subject sections. Each section is divided into chapters/essays, all ...

50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology: Shattering Widespread Misconceptions about Human Behavior14 reviews
Scott O. Lilienfeld, Steven Jay Lynn, ...
Wiley-Blackwell, 2009
What we might want to believe
Myths, like memory, can reconstruct events for ceremony and solace. In its cultural or religious sense, myth can serve as transformer. That is not the sense of myth utilized in this book.
In this book, a myth is a false and misleading conclusion, which urban legend supports despite evidence to the contrary. The purpose of this book is to present evidence to the contrary, still encouraging ...

Everything you wanted to know about House is in this book
If you find the television show, House entertaining then this book should provide insights and intrigues for you about the characters of House and his medical team. The writings are brief and have an even flow that can capture your interest - a great read for the evening.

The Life & Love of Trees13 reviews
Lewis Blackwell
PQ Blackwell / Chronicle Books, 2009
Loose Yourself in the Loveliness of Trees
The photographs in this book The Life & Love of Trees are spectacular beyond words. Lewis Blackwell's seemingly bigger than life photographs lure you into the very nature, the very presence of these living giants. Several times I have found myself happily lost meandering in and out of the colorful pages of this BIG impressive book of Trees.
To me the words in the book are only second in ...

Strategic Management of Health Care Organizations10 reviews
Linda E. Swayne, W. Jack Duncan, ...
Wiley-Blackwell, 2009
Both conceptual and practical tools
This is an outstanding book. While naturally oriented to strategic management of health care it is also a comprehensive framework to strategic management in general. The book's layout is that of a university textbook but it is also written in an enjoyable style. I read this book as a practitioner and not a formal student and found it extremely readable and helpful. The authors present both ...

Amy Hackney Blackwell

Best study guide thus far
This book is a really great study guide. I read this book before reading the Kaplan studay guide material and it really helped break down the material and even uses a bit of humor. What I like best is how the aruthor provides a break down on how they arrived at the correct answer. I highly recommend this book if you are preparing the LSAT or condering taking the exam. It is a very through read.

Philosophical Investigations1 review
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Wiley-Blackwell, 2009
Finally, a significantly revised translation
Even though Wittgenstein's German is nothing like Kant's, providing a good translation of his work is a challenge given all that one must bring into consideration. Anscombe's original translation had its merits, but it also had a number of frustrating flaws.
One of the many problems with Anscombe's translation of PI, is her translation of both "hinweisende Erklärung" and "hinweisende ...

Art in Theory 1900 - 2000: An Anthology of Changing Ideas4 reviews
Wiley-Blackwell, 2002
A valuable reference book
Had I read the reviews about this book, I wouldn't have bought it.
I had to though, for my "Art: Language and Theory" class, in my second year of Graphic Design major. I was shocked with it at first, it's almost 1300 pages, with not a single image in it! It looked extremely dull. But the thing is, I found it extremely useful, and enjoyable to read at times too. It covers art theories in the 20th ...

excellent book
I think this is a great book if you want to have a better understanding of our immune system.. While I don't agree with the millions of years scenario or the term mother nature used in place of our creator.. The rest of the book is excellent..

The Production of Space 4 reviews
Henri Lefebvre
Wiley-Blackwell, 1992
Space is produced by, and produces, society
Thinkers have long analyzed things in space, but it is time to analyze space itself and "the social relationships embedded in it" according to Lefebvre. He wants to analyze the form, structure, and function of something he calls "social space" and explore how such spaces have been produced. "Social space" partly consists of a certain configuration of actual space in actual time. Space also ...

Secondhand Spirits: A Witchcraft Mystery25 reviews

Signet, 2009
Spellbinding!
Well, I have to say, despite the new genre of paranormal and it seems everyone is kicking out book series on witches, ghosts, vampires etc this one was pretty good. I've been reading quite a few and most of them just don't make the grade. However, this one kept my interest going. I really enjoyed the characters, Oscar being my favorite and the seemingly unique plot and surprise ending. Being ...
