The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief293 reviews
Francis S. Collins
Free Press, 2007
Reconciling science and faith
I heard Dr. Collins speak at the Presidential Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C. and I was fascinated by his humility, his distinguished scientific and medical background as well as his spiritual journey from being an atheist to being an agnostic then to being a believer and follower of Jesus Christ. He heads up the Human Genome Project in Washington D.C.
I did not know that he had written ...

Great layout, summary at the end of each chapter. The each chapter begins with a list of outcome goals and terms with page numbers. CD with text is a great reference with quizzes and exams. The accompany website has additional test questions, quizzes and crosswords puzzles for each chapter. (Offers more then some other text on the website). Very glad my instructor chose this text.

Evidence (University Casebook Series) (University Casebook Series) 1 review
Jon R. Waltz, Roger C. Park
Foundation Press, 2005
like any other casebook...
This text is fine, but I found out that the 10th ed. & 10th ed. revised are EXACTLY the same - they even have the same page numbers. So, if you have the option to use a used, regular 10th ed., I would definitely go with that.

Evidence Examples & Explanations, 6e (Examples & Explanations)15 reviews
Arthur Best
Aspen Publishers, 2007
A great help!
A really great book, it finally brought some clarity to evidence. But be prepared to spend some time reading this book, as it has fairly in-depth coverage. Even so, I found it a very valuable study tool.

Trick or Treatment: The Undeniable Facts about Alternative Medicine3 reviews
Simon Singh, Edzard Ernst
W. W. Norton, 2008
Excellent analysis of "alternative" and "complementary" medicine
I have been meaning to write a review of Trick or Treatment for some months now and had a lot of sophisticated ideas how to phrase it. In the meantime, I had sent my mother a "care package", with dried cranberries, organic Earl Grey tea and a copy of Trick or Treatment. She called me last weekend and said:
"This book is so full of suspense and so extraordinarily well written. I understand what ...

Very helpful
This book was so helpful when I had to write care plans for patients. It is so easy to use and takes you step-by-step through the nursing process. I use this book instead of the book required by my school.

The Blind Watchmaker: Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe Without Design339 reviews
Richard Dawkins
W. W. Norton, 1996
Even IF blind
.....A watchmaker is still a watchmaker, and is presumably still making a watch that works. But whenever we don't understand something in our world, we say that there is no God. We profess to be intelligent beings but we think we know all there is to know, particularly as it concerns God. Sorry, folks, we don't know everything. And when we don't, just say so, don't say there is no God when you ...

Beautiful Evidence41 reviews
Edward R. Tufte
Graphics Press, 2006
A worthwhile read, if you have time to take it all in...
Beautiful Evidence
The book goes to great lengths to explain the power and impact of visual imagery on the human mind. This type of psychological information can be valuable for many people in many different fields of expertise. The amount that it covers can be a bit over-bearing if you want to look at specifics to your own specific requirement, best to let it "wash over you" and distill out ...

The Practice of Nursing Research: Conduct, Critique, & Utilization10 reviews
Nancy Burns, Susan Grove
Saunders, 2004
A "know why" and know "how to" conduct research
This text is required for my doctoral level quantitative research course.
I have been busy actively learning (actual data analysis & critique). For the first time I feel that research can become a reality. It's too bad this text did not cross my path 10 years ago as the beginning point for previous research courses. The text is not a difficult read. The excerpts from actual research and visuals ...

The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God207 reviews
Lee Strobel
Zondervan, 2005
Refreshing veiw
It was nice to see a different view point of how creation could have occurred. This book does not try to convince you that Buddha, Yahweh, or Krishna is the force behind our existence. however they have a good argument that simple chance is not viable with our current scientific evidence.
I really enjoyed it. The scientific facts are very interesting and explained very well.

Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths And Total Nonsense: Profiting From Evidence-Based Management36 reviews
Jeffrey Pfeffer, Robert I. Sutton
Harvard Business School Press, 2006
Another thought provoking work from Pfeffer
I've been an avid Pfeffer fan since 'Resource Dependency', so am inclined to give him 5 stars for anything he writes.
The main themes in here are extremely thought provoking and are great for jogging one's brain to think thorough one's management assumptions. A few of his analogies are weak...I believe there are better cases as analogies for some of Pfeffer's points. He relies upon his ...
