Richard A. Prinz

Landes Bioscience, 2000

Neat handbook for endocrine surgery
A very neatly packaged, pocket-size handbook of all current topics in endocrine surgery, this is truly a time-saver for the resident in general surgery wishing to learn more about the endocrine field. Despite its small size, it's remarkably complete and seems very much up to date. It takes the surgeon's view on the topic throughout and leaves the irrevelant details out. Focused and concentrated, ...

A fascinating book with some quite remarkable insights
I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed with this book. It is not only a meticulous, highly readable review of a lot of otherwise tough to follow scientific literature, but it is also an exploration of ideas and interpretations that, as far as I can tell, are totally new. I was also surprised at how understandable and readable this book was -- the author is obviously a great and compelling ...

There is a growing realization that the clinical efficacy ofmechanical circulatory support is not solely a function of blood pumpdesign, but is also dependent on the quality of the infrastructurewhich has been developed to support the programme. This book is both an authoritative statement of this principle and a welcome addition to the artificial heart literature. Information is presented in a ...

Kinematic Self-Replicating Machines

2 reviews
Robert A. Freitas Jr., Ralph C. Merkle

Landes Bioscience, 2004

Engineering becomes Biology
In our lab this is universally known as "The Bunny Book", for reasons that you can deduce by looking at the cover. You may also deduce that we refer to it sufficiently frequently to have given it a nickname. The reason it is simple - it is an outstandingly comprehensive work of reference for all the ideas and history in the burgeoning field of artificial replication. Biology is the study of ...

Necrotizing Enterocolitis (Medical Intelligence Unit)

Landes Bioscience, 2000

The literature on NEC (necrotizing Enterocolitis), especially in the major textbooks, merely recapitulated what had been written in the past; there has been no new guidance. NEC was viewed as a fait accompli; a sometimes-dire disease that was to be confronted only after it reared its perfidious head. This monograph asks the reader to rethink their approach the NEC. Although, there are no compel others to pursue a way to intervene before the die ...

Landes Bioscience, 1999

Predicting the future by making it happen
I'm a research engineer with a major U.S. corporation, and I think that Nanomedicine is an awesome book - Freitas obviously did a huge amount of work in writing this book.
