Deja Review: USMLE Step 2 Essentials (Total Recall Series)

14 reviews
John H. Naheedy, Daniel Orringer, ...

McGraw-Hill Medical, 2005

Excellent Last Minute Step 2 Review Book
UCSD makes us take step 2 early on in the year and time is defintiely a limiting factor. If you are in the same boat, I would highly recommend this book. Even if you are not under a time crunch, you should still read this book to re-enforce facts you already know. The Q&A format is similar to that of Surgical Recall. I used a question bank and read this book to tie everything together before I ...

The book, Hawthorne explains, is "intended for the person who agrees with the premise that animals are mistreated in our society, believes that the public has a moral obligation to speak out against this cruelty and who wants to be directly involved in ...

Better than any other
This book is definately not for just people who are beginners, it's for the pros too! Lots of very useful information on all sorts of adult topics. The writing is interesting while at the same time very informative. Since Nina is a nurse, she follows hygiene and safety very thoroughly. Not offensive, gawdy or overdone. It's definately not boring! Very to the point with LOTS of handy hints and ...

Surgical Recall

Lorne Blackbourne

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2002

Excellent quick review
This book is in short, Q&A style, and is excellent for quick review, especially when you have 10 minutes before a case starts. During surgeries, I got asked a lot of questions straight out of the book. A more thorough book is needed for in-depth info, but this book is great to carry around with you and read in those rare spare minutes.

Through a Window

Jane Goodall

Mariner Books, 2000

Thirty Years of Goodall Research in Gombe
Jane Goodall's contributions to our knowledge of chimpanzees has been remarkable. Because she first arrived in Africa completely untrained as an observer of animal behavior, she was able to bring a humanist's instincts to her work; her natural ability to see details and connections, as well as her affection for her subjects, culminated in published results that rocked the scientific community. ...

Trine Day, 2007

New Orleans in the summer of 1963, behind the scenes of the JFK assassination, this book is one-of-a-kind
If you don't want to be challenged, or you want to believe the Warren Commission Report that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and unaided in the assassination of JFK, or that New Orleans and the events taking place there played no part in the assassination, don't bother to read Dr Mary's Monkey, for it will disrupt your complacency and demolish your assumptions. This book is a serious attempt ...

Sanjiv Harpavat, Sahar Nissim

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2001

The Best Cards!
BUY THESE INSTEAD OF BUGCARDS! These cards are amazing for both learning and reviewing. As a first year medical student, I appreciate how concise and useful the information is. The first 8 or so cards show the common infections in each organ system - VERY HIGH YIELD! The rest of the cards cover the important human pathogens. Also included are helpful algorithms and explanations of virulence ...

The Ph.D. Process: A Student's Guide to Graduate School in the Sciences

16 reviews
Dale F. Bloom, Jonathan D. Karp, ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 1999

What Grad School is Really Like
The PhD process is a great overview of graduate school in the sciences. It covers most basic topics such as choosing a type of school, applying, preliminary exams, comps, thesis work, etc. Of course each school does these things slightly differently, but the main points are there and the authors do a good job of pointing out where differences between programs are likely to turn up. This book ...

A great resource for Life Science professionals seeking a career in Industry
As a newcomer making a transition to industry, this book is a very useful resource. I loved this book because it gave detailed information about different career options that one can choose in an industry. It provides pros and cons of a job, a typical day and more importantly the temperament and qualities needed to get the job done well. I absolutely loved Toby Freedman's organization and ...

Linda S. Costanzo

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2003

Best title in the series!
I think this is the best BRS there is. I used this book for course exam prep as well as board review. It is a great tool to highlight important concepts, and it explains things in a simple and effective way with the right amount of information.

Radiography PREP (Program Review and Exam Prep)

Dorothy A. Saia

McGraw-Hill Medical, 2008

Life Saver
This book helped me pass the ARRT Exam. I haven't been in school for a couple of years...plus I went to school overseas. I had the old version of this book but I needed to buy the newer one. It lived up to it's title "Radiography PREP". This book together with the Lange Q&A - Radiography Examination were the only books I needed...now I'm a Registered RT.

Manual of Pulmonary Function Testing

Gregg Ruppel, Gregg L. Ruppel

Mosby Publication, 1997

Well Written Textbook
I teach Respiratory Therapy,and specifically Pulmonary Functions. I have found Ruppel's text to be very comprehensive and easy for students to read. He has written a book for the technologist, not the physician. The informations is well researched and correct according to the established standards set up by the American Thoracic Society and the American College of Chest Physicians. I have read ...

Charles C. Thomas Publisher, 2004

MSW
This book saved my life. If I could meet this doctor I would kiss his feet. I went from absolutely no medical problems all my life until I was 35. At that time, I was under severe stress for a very prolonged period of time and went from 118 lbs - all my life, to 280 lbs. I developed hyperinsulimia - which I diagnosed through reading and research- my regular doctor didn't understand and I had ...

Culture of Animal Cells Set: CD-ROM and Culture of Animal Cells

9 reviews
R. Ian Freshney

Wiley-Liss, 2000

The best book on cell culture
Freshney's Culture of Animal Cells is a great book. It is writen on an easy style, it is concise and complete at the same time and it does teach you all the basics (and a little bit more) of cell culture. When I was doing my masters I didn't have a lot of help with my cell culture experiments and this book was fundamental for my research. The book covers everything, starting from the biology of ...

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2003

I refer to "In a Page" all the time
As a practicing podiatrist for 25 years I finally found a book that quickly and thoroughly gives me the current medical information that I require in evaluating my patients co-morbidities. I refer to "In a Page Medicine" all the time. I have a copy in both my offices!

Bakerman's ABC's of Interpretive Laboratory Data

9 reviews
Seymour Bakerman, Paul Bakerman, ...

Interpretive Laboratory Data, 1994

There's a new edition for this excellent book!
This book goes beyond a "lab" book, encompassing etiologies, algorithms on further evaluation, and pathophysiology. Inside you can find, for example, the incidence of neonatal conjunctivitis in mothers with chylamydial infections, clinical features of primary biliary cirrhosis, and diagrams of the red blood cell reactions in indirect vs direct Coombs reactions. I first bought this book as a ...

Building Scientific Apparatus: A Practical Guide to Design and Construction

8 reviews
John H. Moore

Addison Wesley Publishing Company, 1982

Not just for researchers
This book is an invaluable reference source for anyone whose work requires them to become involved in unfamiliar (physical science related) technologies. Though it would certainly be useful to laboratory researchers, it is equally valuable for the scientist or engineer who needs to apply these disciplines. As a physicist involved in design of commercial instrumentation, I have often had to ...

R Serber

University of California, Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory; distributed by National Technical Information Service, Springfield, Va, 1973

Great book on the physics of the bomb
This is a truly exciting book for people with the desire to understand bomb physics. This book consists out of the original lecture notes from a series of seminars given in 1943 to the bomb scientists at the start of the Manhattan Project. These lecture notes are clearly annotated so that a layman can understand the bomb. Although the book discusses mainly the knowledge of 1943, the clear ...

Appleton & Lange's Review for the Chiropractic Boards 3-4

8 reviews
Jeannete B. Gibson

McGraw-Hill Medical, 1998

I should have read this, skipped class, and learned business
At first I thought this was too much information, then I realized it was everything I needed to know for my clinical studies as well as my academic studies. It is hard to understand how this book was written by doctors. I think professional editors would have a hard time negotiating this level of complexity. You both made it look simple and easy to follow. The amount of organization it ...
