A must fhave

STEDMAN
Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2000
Must have Doctors
As both doctor and founder of a EchoScribe Inc, a leading internet based medical transcription company, (www.echoscribe.com) I must recomend Stedmans as the dictionary that all physicians must own. There is also the PDA version that is also a good carry. It not only provides a quick reference, but in writing medical letters, and transcribing documents, this book is a "medical must have."

Mosby's Medical Dictionary31 reviews

Mosby-Year Book, 1993
Better than Stedman's or Dorlands
I have had a Stedman's and Taber's medical dictionary for years (20+) and they had gotten a bit long in the tooth so I bought this book and Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary as I thought Dorland's looked slightly better than Stedman's. I decided to compare definitions of a word in both books and Mosby's definition was impressive enough to have me make the purchase (amiodarone was the word, ...

The Language of Medicine: A Write-In Text Explaining Medical Terms23 reviews
Davi-Ellen Chabner
W.B. Saunders Company, 2003
Make easy Medicine
This book is really a great book. It makes figuring out and understanding medical terms a breeze. The exercises are incredibly easy because they are using the rote method. I think the author is using the rote method because it's pretty effective. The terms are clearly explained. The book is easy to follow and the CD that comes with it also uses rote. It might seem mindless, but after doing ...

Dictionary of Accounting Terms (Barron's Business Guides)15 reviews
Joel G. Siegel, Jae K. Shim
Barron's Educational Series, Inc., 2000
Great Reference for Business Owners, Entrepreneurs
This book is on my desk bookshelf which is big enough for about 15 key references - 15 out of 100's of books. It usually is all I need while reviewing the company's finances or accounting. Although I have an MBA, often the accounting nuances slip my mind and 99% of the time this reference is good enough to get me back up to speed. The other 1% of the time I have to refer back to my accounting and ...

Mosby's Medical, Nursing & Allied Health Dictionary16 reviews
C.V. Mosby, 2001
complete with pictures
Mosby's dictionary far exceeded my expectations for medical knowledge. Its pictures, charts, tables, and lab data are incredibly useful in getting better understanding of the diseases, conditions, procedures, and body structures that you are researching. Mosby's is not for the faint of heart, the numerous photographs, diagrams, and pictures are very graphic especially with some of the congenital ...

Yesterday I hear Mr. Taylor speak
Yesterday I hear Mr. Taylor speak to a room of spellbound seniors in a bridge (between independent and assisted) home in Atlanta. One of these seniors is my 89 year old mother, who has been diagnosed with cardio-vascular dementia. Mr. Taylor showed me, like no book or outside expert could, what a person with dementia feels and thinks inside. As he warned the caregivers not to treat their family ...

Wonderful for Medical Terminology I, II, and Health Unit Coordination classes!
I purchased this handy little pocket guide as a reference to my text two semesters ago. I am happier with this pocket guide than the text it supports. I have used this for three college course, and am still using it for my volunteer position in a SICU. I recommend this handy little guide for students in medical terminology classes or in the health information field. It serves as a quick ...

The Redbook: A Manual on Legal Style13 reviews

West Group, 2002
Accessible even to members of the laity.
While law students will undoubtedly get the most mileage out of this title, don't let its target audience scare you off. The text is very clear and eminently readable, making it well-suited for those of us who only need to prepare the occasional contract and small claims case, too. It answered all of my questions and then some.

A Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage11 reviews

The Best
This is, by far, the single best resource on legal usage one can buy. I never cease to be amazed at how often I pull this book off of my shelf to find it giving me a clear and accurate answer to a usage question. I purchased this book several years ago after attending one of Garner's legal writing seminars. That seminar and this book have dramatically improved my legal writing skills. Those ...

Lots of fun and informative too.
A definite must for your home library! Kids love the detailed watercolors and the almost-musical text. Who knew railroading slang was so fun? Pretty soon your kids will be asking for their milk as "whitewash" and telling your their "trick is up" at bedtime. Train enthusiast of all ages will enjoy this trip down the main line.

The Npr Classical Music Companion: An Essential Guide for Enlightened Listening12 reviews
Miles Hoffman, 2008
A Musical Dictionary
This book is exactly what it says it is-terms and concepts from A to Z. Its a dictionary. It explains general classical music terms and phrases. One great thing about this book is you don't have to read it from beginning to end. Each entry in the book is well defined (sometimes a few pages long). I read the whole book and thought it was interesting, humorous, and educating. There are entries ...
