Current Clinical Strategies Pub, 2007

The best of the pocket references
I have used these guides for years. As a new grad I kept it in my lab coat as a *peripheral brain* and as an experieneced provider, I keep a copy close at hand. Great for looking up treatment modalities for problems seldom encountered.

Asian Americans: An Interpretive History (Immigrant Heritage of America Series)

3 reviews
Sucheng Chan

Twayne Publishers, 1991

Excellent general resource
Sucheng Chan offers a statistic-rich, informative history of Asian-Americans, from their first immigration to current issues of As-Ams as "model minorities". I definitely prefer Chan's style to Takaki's quote-heavy, anecdotal approach; she is both thorough and concise.

Current Clinical Strategies Publishing, 2006

Great product
I found this book very useful as it has all the current treatment strategies for common diseases and conditions, also has ACLS, EKG basic information, laboratory values, clinical history writing recommendations and guide, and other useful data. It's so hard to find correct and summarized treatments in books, but this books puts all of this together and you just have to look for the disease and ...

Jackie Chan

Ballantine Books, 1999

" So you play Kung FU"
I Am Jackie Chan My Life in Action 1998 5/5 Written by :Jackie Chan & Jeff Yang Easily one of the best books I have ever read. This books contains 398 pages of pure joy. Seriously I read this book In one sitting . I was already a fan of Jackie Chan now I have so much respect for him. The copy I own includes a extra chapter, I would say it's worth buying again to read that extra chapter. ...

4 reviews

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2004

Great Anthology for Classes
This is a great anthology to teach from: whether you're teaching a creative writing class or a literature class, this has worked very well in my experience. In its variety of styles and forms, and with authors born all across the US and in many countries abroad, this book is truly diverse.

The Chan's Great Continent: China in Western Minds

Jonathan D. Spence

W. W. Norton & Company, 1999

When A Chinese read this book in Chinese version...
It's great! Although some historic characters I want to see didn't show up, I still enjoy reading it. Seeing how western people though about our culture hundred of years ago makes me laugh. Maybe you westerns would laugh, too. If you know how we Chinese thought of you long time ago...

Lois Mai Chan

The Scarecrow Press, Inc., 2007

Picture of what you 're doing really matters.
I have been using this book for almost two semester because this is one of our primary reference in our cataloging subject. Our subject includes Descriptive Cataloging and Non-book materials cataloging. Everytime we are asked to do some cataloging, I always prefer to have read first this book before doing some cataloging exercises because this gives me clear picture of what really am I going to ...

Subtle Wisdom: Understanding Suffering, Cultivating Compassion Through Ch'an Buddhism

2 reviews
Ch'an Master Sheng-yen, Sheng-yen

Image, 1999

Great intro to Chinese Buddhism.
I have studied Buddhism for over 20 years (mostly Zen), but was not all that familiar with authentic Ch'an Buddhism. Master Sheng yen was recommended by a friend and out of all his books I've found this the most accessible and most comprehensive. It's a great place to start if , like me, you want profound wisdom at an understandable level.

Earl Derr Biggers

Leonaur Ltd, 2007

Romance, historic settings, race relations, and murder
Between 1925 and 1932, Earl Derr Biggers wrote six novels about Charley Chan, a fictional Chinese detective, who was to become a pop culture icon through his representation in Hollywood movies. It is said that the author based his character on a genuine Chinese detective in Honolulu named Chang Apana that he read about while vacationing in Honolulu. In a time when "white priviledge" was assumed, ...

The Way of Lao Tzu

Wing-tsit Chan

Prentice Hall, 1963

Review of "The Way of Lao-Tzu" -- Wing-Tsit Chan, Tr.
This translation of the Tao-te ching was made in 1963 by a Chinese scholar and professor of philosophy and religion. I believe I have checked out most other translations, and think this is the one to consider. It has a degree of precision and poetry not found elsewhere, and for those who want scholarship, there are notes, commentary and references. Consider these two passages: "For to praise ...

Million Dollar Hold'em: Limit Cash Games

6 reviews
Johnny Chan, Mark Karowe

Cardoza, 2006

One of the best poker books out there!
This is one of the best poker books I have ever read. It is rather unconventional, in that it does not have a traditional table of contents or follow a step by step outline. In this way it is very much like how I learned to play poker at the tables. The book is a series of hands with commentary about how you should consider playing each one. The types of things covered are playing from the ...

Liturgical Theology: The Church As Worshiping Community

6 reviews
Simon Chan

InterVarsity Press, 2006

Excellent book for Protestants and Catholics
Although written by an evangelical Protestant, the book has a strong Catholic orientation and good insight into the weaknesses of the evangelical tradition. Well worth a Catholic reading to bolster his own faith as welll as understand the larger Christian world, and the influences that have brought me into the Catholic Church. I recommend the book be read in small segments meditatively as the ...

Everyday Crochet: Wearable Designs Just for You

16 reviews
Doris Chan

Potter Craft, 2007

Very wearable sweaters
I've started a couple of these sweaters, and the directions are clear. The gauge is nice as it is given both for the starting chain and the pattern stitch. The shell pattern seems to be very versatile, and I am working on size 40 that fits great so far. Nice book! Also, be sure to check the correction to "tall latte" that is on the author's web page.

TokyoPop, 2003

YAY FOR PANTY SHOTS! lol
If you like *fan service* or panty shots, this is the book for you. Excellent quality art has usual from CLAMP, ok, so there is no storyline but who needs one when its so funny? It's mainly a sampler of different sketches that all end in Miyuki-chan having her clothes somehow fall off. I thought it was a gem to add to my manga/CLAMP collection. Great gift or buy for all you CLAMP fans as it also ...

Current Clinical Strategies, 2007

Useful aid
I found this book to be useful to me as an intern doing the hospital admissions. However, it does not cover all different conditions that we are admitting for. Also, some suggestions for tests and treatments don't agree with my hospital's standard of care.

Classic Joints with Power Tools

Yeung Chan

Lark Books, 2002

Classic Joints with Power Tools
I know Yeung and have taken a number of classes with him. At first, I was surprised to hear that he was writing a book on power tools. He is the master of hand work skill and sensitivity. His philosophy of furnituremaking is one of respectfulness and thoughtfulness about the wood, the design of the peice and the process of creating it. This book on using power tools carries this philosophy ...
