The Labor Progress Handbook: Early Interventions to Prevent and Treat Dystocia 13 reviews
Wiley-Blackwell, 2000
Excellent Handbook!
The Labor Progress Handbook, though a bit pricey, is an excellent book. It contains a tons of labor information and is complete with many illustrations. It's a nice compact size, which makes it easy to carry with you (great for doulas, midwives, etc.). I love it!

Torture and Eucharist: Theology, Politics, and the Body of Christ (Challenges in Contemporary Theology)10 reviews
William T. Cavanaugh
Wiley-Blackwell, 1991
All Belongs to God
Cavanaugh's book shows what Radical Orthodoxy is all about--he traces some of the myths that drive Western nation-states to medieval theological hiccups; he delves the resources of Christian liturgy for strength to resist the all-envious nation-state; he points to times and places that the Church has really "gotten it right" and taken a stand against the idols and empires in the name of Christian ...

From DNA to Diversity: Molecular Genetics and the Evolution of Animal Design10 reviews
Sean Carroll, Jennifer Grenier, ...
Wiley-Blackwell, 2004
Evo-Devo For The Graduate Student
We have about 25,000 genes. Some of these are "tool kit" genes that we share with all other animals. They evolved well before the Cambrian explosion over 540 million years ago from a bilaterally symmetrical common ancestor. Almost exact counterparts are found in apes and mice, and close counterparts in arthropods and worms. Next to most genes is a stretch of so-called "junk DNA" that does not ...

excellent book
I think this is a great book if you want to have a better understanding of our immune system.. While I don't agree with the millions of years scenario or the term mother nature used in place of our creator.. The rest of the book is excellent..

Introduction to Philosophical Logic10 reviews
Anthony Grayling
Wiley-Blackwell, 1998
Highly recommended.
Enough centuries have passed that everyone should know this: If you want a clear and readable exposition of a difficult and complex subject, you ask a British philosopher. In that grand tradition of solidity and soundness, A.C. Grayling here provides, without fanfare but with a good deal of clarity and wit, a thoroughly reliable and lucidly intelligible introduction to logic as this topic is ...

A Guide to Econometrics39 reviews
Peter Kennedy
Wiley-Blackwell, 2008
A Must Have for Econometrics Students
I should have book earlier versions of this book. Kennedy's A Guide to Econometrics has been recommended to me by a few people for a few years now, but I only got myself a copy last year (2008) when the 6th edition came out. The author does a wonderful job explaining a lot of the econometrics concepts that may have been missed by standard econometrics texts. The reason may be that the format ...

MRI in Practice (3rd Edition)25 reviews
Catherine Westbrook, Carolyn Kaut Roth, ...
Wiley-Blackwell, 2005
MRI Bible
When I was training at the University of Pennsylvania this book was known as our "Bible". In short, it comprehensivly covers MRI from Atoms to Zipper artifacts. The book can be a little technical at times but unfortunatly, that's MRI for you. It does a great job at explaining the basic concepts of MRI and then building on those ideas to explain the more complex ones (K-Space headaches anyone?). A ...

Ace the GMAT6 reviews
Brandon Royal
Wiley-Blackwell, 2007
Effective GMAT preparation
I think this book is invaluable for someone who's preparing the GMAT. It focus on topics that students need to master to get a reasonably high score in GMAT. This approach is quite differenty from other text where they simply list a series of problems for students to work on. I feel this approach is much more effective in helping students to answer the more difficult questions in GMAT.

Trees of the Northern United States and Canada10 reviews
John Laird Farrar
Wiley-Blackwell, 1991
Great Field Guide
This is a great book to help with the identification of tree specimens that you find in our northern forests. Beautifully illustrated, with pictures of leaves (and fall color), flowers, fruits, and the bark of both mature and young trees, Farrar really provides horticultural enthusiasts with all the tools they need to make correct identifications (in most cases, of course). In addition to the ...

Cardiovascular Hemodynamics for the Clinician6 reviews
Wiley-Blackwell, 2007
Perfect Fellow Resource
This is simply the best written hemodynamic text that I could find. I wish I would have had it my first year of fellowship. It walks the clinician through basic hemodynamics, then different disease states such as aortic stenosis, mitral stenosis, etc. It also combines physical exam findings and some echo findings as well. This is a great, quick read prior to taking boards or to prepare for a cath ...

Domestic Manners of the Americans9 reviews
Frances Trollope
Wiley-Blackwell, 1993
A classic
This is both a great read and an important historical document. Fanny Trollope was the mother of Anthony Trollope, perhaps the most prolific English novelist of the nineteenth century and my favorite. Fanny's husband was ineffectual in the breadwinning department, but fortunately for the family, Fanny herself was energetic and enterprising. She took one of her sons (not Anthony) and an artistic ...

Comprehensive Spanish Grammar (Blackwell Reference Grammars)7 reviews
Jacques De Bruyne, null l
Wiley-Blackwell, 1996
Spanish Grammar Goldmine
This is an absolutely fantastic grammar. First of all, the way the table of contents is set up makes it easy to find the sections that explain the grammar. The explanations themselves are easy to understand (not grammar-jargon), and the book provides examples to illustrate how each part of the grammar functions in context. I consider this to be one of the best Spanish-materials investments I ...

Excellent Introduction to Logic and Philosophy
REVIEW: This book, while sometimes reading like a condensed encyclopedia, is an excellent resource for anyone interested in Philosophical thought and Logic. It is an excellent introduction as well as a reference book. And while the title and binding may detract from it's apparent academic credibility, I assure you it is there. The book covers several sections, beginning with basic ...
