Lost and Philosophy: The Island Has Its Reasons (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series)

5 reviews

Wiley-Blackwell, 2007

An Excellent Opportunity to Enhance the Viewing Experience
This is a good read. The book is a collection of twenty-one essays. Some of them are very good, some of them are good. But all of them are challenging and exciting. I have my personal favorites: "Should We Condemn Michael for Saving Walt?", "The Island as a Test of Free-Will", "Lost's State of Nature", "Lost Theories and Coincidence"... But I suppose every Lost viewer will find several papers ...

Spiral Dynamics: Mastering Values, Leadership and Change

25 reviews
Don Edward Beck, Christopher Cowan

Wiley-Blackwell, 2005

Makes sense out of things that didn't make sense
The model presented about how the paradigms of thinking and how value memes develop over time in a person, organization, or society are brilliantly insightful. This book should be required reading for anyone running a company or organization of any size. The insights that can be gleaned are significant (at least in the lines of development in which one if far enough along oneself). This is ...

How the Immune System Works (Blackwell's How It Works)

32 reviews
Lauren M. Sompayrac

Wiley-Blackwell, 2008

Great Intro and Big Picture Review
As a medical student, studying the immune system can be daunting - it's very easy to lose the forest for the trees. This book brings it all back together by providing a big picture/core concepts presentation of the immune system. If you have a basic understanding of biology (maybe two semesters of undergrad bio) this book will teach you the fundamentals of the immune system. I imagine it will ...

Making up the Mind: How the Brain Creates Our Mental World

4 reviews
Chris Frith

Wiley-Blackwell, 2007

Smashing
Everyone once in a while, I read a book which performs a sort of miraculous feat. It sets out to do the seemingly impossible, and then not only does so, but does so in a way which seems almost effortless. Chris Frith's book "The Making Up The Mind" is like this. Its task is nothing less than to explain "how the brain creates our mental world" to a popular but educated audience - and in the ...

The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn

12 reviews
Eric Ives

Wiley-Blackwell, 2005

Exhaustive, fascinating, lets you draw your own conclusions
It has been very tempting for many Boleyn biographers to paint Anne as a feminist icon and victim of male power. It has been equally tempting in other generations to paint her as a conniving, power hungry witch who brought about her own donwfall and whose only value was sex-object and mother of one of England's greatest rulers. The truth one might rightly suspect lies somewhere in the middle. ...

Manual of Perioperative Care in Adult Cardiac Surgery
This is a very good reference text for anybody working in the area of cardiac surgery. I have worked as a nurse practitioner in cardiology for 5 years and recently switched to cardiac surgery. I have found this to be a very succinct text. I can quickly find the answers to my questions. I would highly recommend it. I am a little hesitant to leave it at work as everyone from Drs to the nurses in ...

A Guide to Econometrics

35 reviews
Peter Kennedy

Wiley-Blackwell, 2008

best together with Greene's <>
This is a great book. But buy it for the right reason. All by itself, not as useful as a lot of the reviews suggests. This has to be used together with Greene's < >. It suppliment a lot of the formulae with ideas and reasons. But it is light on formula by itself, and you can not use it as a reference. This is a explain book, tells you why we should do it this way, what to caution/watch for, ...

Art in Theory 1900 - 2000: An Anthology of Changing Ideas

5 reviews

Wiley-Blackwell, 2002

A valuable reference book
Had I read the reviews about this book, I wouldn't have bought it. I had to though, for my "Art: Language and Theory" class, in my second year of Graphic Design major. I was shocked with it at first, it's almost 1300 pages, with not a single image in it! It looked extremely dull. But the thing is, I found it extremely useful, and enjoyable to read at times too. It covers art theories in the 20th ...

Christian Theology: An Introduction (4th Edition)

33 reviews
Alister E. McGrath

Wiley-Blackwell, 2006

An enjoyable survey of theology
Alister McGrath is a self-professed evangelical Christian theologian. While claiming to be evangelical, I've found McGrath to be a very ecunemical theologian who is able to draw on all strands of Christianity. His books are generally excellent, clearly written, logical, and avoid the secterian parochialism I often see in theologial works. He never dismisses Catholic or Orthodox theology out ...

Strategic Management of Health Care Organizations (5th Edition)

Linda E. Swayne, Jack Duncan, ...

Wiley-Blackwell, 2007

Excellent Book
I was fortunate enough to be a student of Linda Swaynes @ UNC Charlotte. We were the first class to use this book. Not only was Ms. Swayne excellent at what she taught but the book was a tool that explained the theories in nice detail. I continue to use the book as a resource. I am currently a hospital CEO.

The Production of Space

3 reviews
Henri Lefebvre

Wiley-Blackwell, 1992

Space is produced by, and produces, society
Thinkers have long analyzed things in space, but it is time to analyze space itself and "the social relationships embedded in it" according to Lefebvre. He wants to analyze the form, structure, and function of something he calls "social space" and explore how such spaces have been produced. "Social space" partly consists of a certain configuration of actual space in actual time. Space also ...

The Labor Progress Handbook: Early Interventions to Prevent and Treat Dystocia

10 reviews
Penny Simkin, Ruth Ancheta

Wiley-Blackwell, 2005

A must for all birth professionals!
It's clear that the book is writen for professionals because of the jargon, and in my opinion every professional should read it! I am on my way to become a doula and unfortunately this book is not on the required reading list, I think it should be. It is an important tool for when labor doesn't progress 'as it should', and offers options and ideas to try before the drugs and machines are ...

Battlestar Galactica and Philosophy: Knowledge Here Begins Out There (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop ...

1 review

Wiley-Blackwell, 2008

Another Great Entry in the Series
I am not sure Bill Irwin knew what sort of success he would have when he first proposed the idea of exploring pop culture from a philosophical background, but he seems to have tapped into something that is at once approachable and thought provoking. I have only seen one or two episodes of the current Battlestar Galactica series, but that did not stop me from looking at the topics that are ...
