Vaccine Safety Manual for Concerned Families and Health Practitioners: Guide to Immunization Risks and ... 6 reviews
Neil Z. Miller
New Atlantean Press, 2008
Extraordinary Book for Necessary Due Diligence
I was not vaccinated as a child. With the sparse information on vaccines that was available at the time, my parents did their research and elected to raise me without medical intervention. I always seemed healthier than my vaccinated peers, who were sick many times each year. I rarely became ill, and when I did get sick, I healed quickly, always without allopathic medicine. Of course, ...

Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner (Includes Author's Book of Shadows)456 reviews
Scott Cunningham
Llewellyn Publications, 1993
This must be read by every Wiccan
The reason this book is so important is not because of the information it contains, but because of its historical significance to Wicca. This book provides a firm dividing line between Traditional Wicca, and what is called by some NeoWicca. As any student of Wicca should know, Wicca is a well defined religion with a very specific God and Goddess, specific rituals, and specific mysteries that are ...

Anatomy of Hatha Yoga: A Manual for Students, Teachers, and Practitioners71 reviews
H. David Coulter
Body and Breath, 2001
Extremely informative
As I'm writing this, my copy of Anatomy of Hatha Yoga is resting on my lap. I'm only on page 47 and I feel that I have already learned enough to make this book well worth what I paid for it. Although it can get very technical at times and might be a little frustrating for people without knowledge of anatomy and physiology, the author breaks things down using easy to understand analogies and ...

The Volatility Surface: A Practitioner's Guide (Wiley Finance)8 reviews
Jim Gatheral
Wiley, 2006
Applying models to the real world
The book is a great guide to understanding the different models used on Wall Street to capture the intricacies of modeling and pricing derivatives. The books focus of using models as a tool and NOT a solution is a great reminder to both traders and salespeople.
This summarized when the author describes the pricing of a digital cliquet.
"Those sellers using local Vol models will certainly ...

Wonderful, practical, go-to resource for the clinician.
Dr. Leahy has provided a first-class resource of techniques for the problem-solving oriented clinician to use.
This book is laid out in a logical format; you are shown the technique, the rationale, given clinical vignettes, possible obstacles, cross-references to other techniques to be used in conjunction or perhaps instead of a particular method, as well as a homework assignment for the ...

Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Prep Exams15 reviews
Amelie Hollier, Mari J. Wirfs
Advanced Practice Education Associates, 2004
Great resource for studying!
I used this book of exam questions and explanations from cover to cover along with the Margaret Fitzpatrick NP Study Review Course for a month prior to taking the AANP exam. I passed and felt I learned so much through this process. This book could probably be a little more current, yet I found so much information that certainly doesn't change from year to year with practice theory, assessment, ...

Excellent presentation of an effective therapy

Douglas Davies
The Guilford Press, 2004
The ESSENTIAL book on development!
There are far too many books out there on development that drown readers with boring facts and research statistics. This is the first book I have read in 10 years that is interesting, clinically sounds, easy to read, and very informative. Douglas Davies writes a book that is a must for any practitioner/therapist interested in working with kids on developmental issues. His book gives a ...

The Guilford Press, 2005
A must-read for practitioners of cognitive behavioral therapy
This is one of those books that I regret not having when I was beginning with cognitive behavioral therapy. The authors synthesize all the crucial information to help therapists make CBT work. Readers will dramatically increase their comfort, confidence, and outcomes with delivering CBT. I used this book with graduate students I supervised and they loved it!

This is the seminal text for Quantitative Finance
If you work for one of the top alpha quant shops (Barclays, Goldman, etc.), this text is a the proverbial must read. These are the guys that essentially invented quantitative finance in its modern form, building upon the [only somewhat applicable] concepts of Sharpe and Rosenberg and demonstrating how they can be harnassed to drive alpha. Anybody who has given this text a poor review obviously ...

I am currently taking an advanced course of pharmacology (FNP-S) and after reviewing several other textbooks I decided that this was the best one. If you are working towards an advanced degree in nursing this is a "must have textbook". I strongly recommend it.
