The book was very informative. I put it to practical use and saved myself $700 on my last leased vehicle. I have given the book to friends to use and they are thrilled with the results. It was very easy to read and understand.

This book is excellent if you or anybody you know that is in the field or training to be a Medical Assistant. I am currently in the program at my local community college and love this textbook. Infact all my classmates call it "THE BIBLE" we use it so much and for everything. It teached you everything from how to send int insurance claim forms to putting on a pair of laytex gloves on!! I am definatly keeping this book when I am done with my program for further reference... ***** 5 stars !!!

The format of this book makes it easy to learn prefixes, suffixes, word roots, and putting it all together to form medical words. Also included are medical terms and abbreviations. Body systems are explained so anyone can understand them. Self-tests include crossword puzzles and actually make learning fun. The college I attend uses this book and I can understand why it chose this title out of the many available.

A concise yet thorough collection of over 6,000 terms related to the area of digital printing and publishing. The author explains complex technical concepts with clarity, providing an insider's explanation of industry-accepted jargon. The book is an essential part of every digital publisher's library.

Here is a book that spells out the future and helps you right now to provide patient education on that tricky topic of herbs. Martha provides easy to remember guidelines for patient counselling on herb self-use. She provides information on the use of commonly available and popular herbs that are also generally recognized as safe, using the nursing model. Other herb books use herbalist and/or medical models. And she describes how nurses use herbs and herbal therapies in hospitals. She is a historian and informs us about those nurses who founded the profession and how they used herbs to help patients; Florence Nightengale is revealed as a master herbalist. Her position that many herb applications are and should remain nursing orders and not doctor's orders is thought-provoking, given that such matters are being decided now. But, will these matters be decided with herb-educated nurses or are we to wait passively for our orders?. This book is a unique and indispensable resource and education guide for nurses who know that herbs are not going away any time soon, and whose use in clinical practice will only become more common and integrated into daily clinical practice. How will herbal medicines integrate into nursing practice? Written by a nurse who has actually used herbs in acute care settings here in the USA. This book is FOR nurses.

Delmar's Standard Guide to Transformers (or DSGT) is definitely worth owning.

It's a book targeted at vocational school students, but valuable to anyone that uses, installs, specifies, or services transformers. Every idea the book's text attempts to convey is supplemented by a drawing, photo, or illustration. The author left his ego out of the pages; at no point did I every feel talked down to nor did I detect any hint of academic condescension. Not to oversell the product, scientists and transformer company engineer/designers probably won't benefit as much, for the book is decidedly slanted to the users of transformers, not the makers of them.

After reading DSGT, transformers will be real to you, not just an abstract concept. The book begins with the basics of magnetism and a painless review of electrical theory, then starts building on that foundation. Unlike many EE text books that contain mostly page after page of verbiage and equations, this book has many large photos and detailed cut-aways of real transformers: tiny, small, medium, large, and enormous. Photos are numerous, all high-quality, professionally shot of every kind of transformer...but one.

This is a mild criticism, no photo is included of a common dry-type transformer of 30-60 KVA transformer very commonly found in most businesses and industrial settings. I would also liked to have seen a reproduction of a sample manufacturer's transformer data plate from this same size and type of transformer along with an explanation of how to read it.

After finishing the section on autotransformers, I was impressed by the depth of my personal ignorance and misconception on that subject!. The coverage of single-phase systems is quite good and 3-phase systems especially good. The most complete and concentrated collection of transformer interconnection schemes I've yet found is in this book.

This is possibly the only book on the market that addresses today's resumes and cover letters and how to submit them properly. The rules system makes finding information in this guide easy. If you know the basics, you can quickly turn to the areas where you need help (without enduring the boring diatribes found in most career books that really only serve to tell you what you already know). Finally -- a foolproof guide to resumes and cover letters and nothing else! It worked for me!

The book provides practical concepts for healthcare administrators. The extensive use of charts, tables and diagrams has been very helpful in presenting complex concept. Even though many of the concepts presented are not new, the practical examples cited helps to bring out present application of the concept.

While the book has been written in the US setting, I find it applicable to my work in Thailand. I intend to use the book for the administration residency program which we are conducting at our group of hospitals.

The work, written origionally for IP paralegals, trancends it's origional purpose and serves as a rational, readable introduction to IP. This books excellence has made it a standard for many years and it's quality remains undiminished.
