Rnotes: Nurse's Clinical Pocket Guide
Published in Spiral-bound by F A Davis Co (November, 2002)
Authors: Ehren Myers and F A Davis Company
Average review score:

ALL- IN -ONE POCKET- SIZED REFERENCE!!! LOVE IT!!!!
I just received this little pocket lifesaver!! I am a second year RN student and have only flipped through RNotes. I wish it came out sooner and I had it last year! The book really will fit into your pocket and the fact that you can write on the pages and then wipe them off to reuse is great. This way you can change the pertinent info to the facility you happen to be having clinicals at. I will definitely reccommend this book to all my classmates and even suggest to my Dean that this book be put on the list of required texts.

Awesome reference!!!
I love RNotes very much. There is so much information right at your fingertips. It fits nicely in my scrub shirt. It can be written on and wiped clean. There are so many topics of information such as, calculations and conversions, lab values, assessment skills, emergency information, medications, and much much more. I recommend this book highly to any student nurse or "old-timer."

A Must-Have for any nurse/nursing student
A must-have for any studious nursing student and will even help those who are nurses already. I am a Senior II student nurse (to graduate in May) & I purchased this in Nov 2002. This is packed with as much general info as is possible for a pocket-sized book & still provides detail (esp with basic understanding of EKGs). It has helped me so much in my clinicals (esp ICU). I'm telling all my friends to invest the small $$ and get this BOOK. It will help you study & pass, I promise. I wish it would have come out sooner.


The Rosetta Stone of God
Published in Paperback by Eckankar (September, 2000)
Author: James Davis
Average review score:

An amazing adventure!
"The Rosetta Stone of God" is not your typical "how I found God" story. Through a combination of luck, grace, discipline, trust and effort, the author pieces together 12 startling "aspects" of "God". Each aspect is expanded upon in its own chapter and then tied together beautifully at the end in a handy "Seeker's Checklist". He cites his own experiences as well as dreams, coincidences and his research of various texts and finds a cohesive thread running through all of them. His effort, perservance and ingenuity I found very inspiring. Also, the straightforward presentation eschews fluffy, cosmic, mumbo jumbo for clarity, simplicity and even logic. It was worth several reads to me.

Also recommended:"The Secret Language of Waking Dreams" by Mike Avery; "35 Golden Keys to Who You Are & Why You're Here" by Linda Anderson; "Autobiography of a Modern Prophet", "The Living Word: Book 2" and "A Modern Prophet" all 3 by Harold Klemp.

Recognizing a miracle
The Rosetta Stone of God is exactly the book my heart was seeking on these shelves. I ran across the most amazing and healing quote on pg.230....

"Man confuses self-knowledge with the knowledge of his conscious ego-personality," say the Shariyat." One who has any ego-consciousness at all takes it for granted that he knows himself. But the ego knows only its own contents, not the psychic self and its contents. Man measures his self-knowledge by what the average person in his social environment knows of himself, not the real spiritual facts which are for the most part hidden from him."

This quote simply woke up my heart center! :-) What an amazing book James Davis has shared with us. :-)

A CALL TO ADVENTURE!
While working for a forest protection agency as part of a fire-fighting crew, the author fell through a wall of branches and found himself teetering on the end of a log as it jutted out over the edge of a cliff. Some thirty feet below are jagged boulders. Pitching forward and falling, he is saved by the firm hand of an unseen loving presence that pushes him back to safety and solid ground. So begins the first of six miracles experienced by James Davis. He calls thems gifts intended to open a different window to heaven. The book details a natural progression of insights drawn from his personal experiences, dreams, and synchronicities of a mysterious key which keeps appearing at various intervals in his path. The Egyptian Rosetta Stone is a historical key which unlocked writings of a lost civilization. Mr Davis' "Rosetta Stone of God" similarly unlocks "treasures from the vaults of heaven" by reminding us of our own gifts. The book is a call to spiritual adventure, a nudge to be more alert and aware of the synchroncities, turning points and miracles in our own lives. If you like reading " Celestine Prophecy", or books by Deepak Chopkra, James Van Praagh, Dr. Michael Weiss, Joan Grant, or Dr Michael Newton, you will appreciate this author's work. Mr Davis invites readers to document your own personal experiences: keep daily notes- a living travelog of your life, including the discoveries that are special to just you. I like this book. It is clear, timely, and highlights alternative choices, options for facing todays current challenges and issues. Highly recommended for those seriously interested in spiritual knowledge and spiritual adventure.


Shecky's Bar, Club & Lounge Guide New York City
Published in Paperback by Hangover Productions (December, 1998)
Authors: Hangover Productions Staff, Hangover Productions, Mark Davis, and Curtus
Average review score:

Suprisingly accurate
Shecky's provides a soundbite for almost every bar in Manhattan. The reviews are suprisingly accurate but seemed a little too skewd towards SoHo and the Village. Some of the reviews are very, very funny. Even though I am a "bridge and tunnel" guy(a frequent bash), I still got good use of this book. Move over Zagats, here come the Sheckster.

Excellent!
Surprisingly accurate and sometimes painfully frank. This guide is a MUST for anyone interested in going out in New York City.

THE BEST BAR BOOK IN NYC
tHIS IS ONE FUNNY BOOK. iT REALLY COVERS EVERYTHING ABOUT THE NITE SCENE THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. IT'S THE ZAGAT OF BARS. A MUST BUY IF YOU LIKE TO PARTY.


Somewhere Lies the Moon
Published in Digital by Pocket Star ()
Author: Kathryn Lynn Davis
Average review score:

A book that will touch your soul!!
As a woman myself, this book is a great read. It touched me in places, that had long since died. Its the journey of four women, sisters, from all different corners of the world. They come together, for there fathers funeral. This book is the discovery of what every woman goes through, the discover of strength, they didnt know they had, of friendships that are reborn again, and learning to trust your heart. Read this on it will take you on a journey of yourself also. Let it make you cry, laugh, and smile so big, you think your heart will burst. A MUST READ BOOK.

A real writer!
I love all of Kathryn's books and SOMEWHERE LIES THE MOON has to be one of her best. Oh, what am I saying? They're all terrific reads, brimming with emotion, fully developed characters, plots and rich settings. Suspense lies inside the hearts' of these characters, and she keeps you wondering about them long after you've closed the book. All of her books are keepers for me, I just wish she would write faster. It's probably one of the reasons why many don't know about this wonderful author. If you like richly told novels, real novels with characters that stay with you for years to come, don't miss this book.

A beautiful book!
Kathryn Lynn Davis is the kind of writer you rarely see anymore. In this world of instant gratification, it seems like no one takes the time and care to write really satisfying, evocative stories--but Ms. Davis is the wonderful exception. SOMEWHERE is a book you can truly curl up with and enjoy for hours on end, savoring its characters and settings, its passion and wisdom. Like THE SHELL SEEKERS or THE THORN BIRDS, it will give you days of pleasure and you'll wish for it never to end.


Sugar Isn't Everything: A Support Book, in Fiction Form for the Young Diabetic
Published in Hardcover by Atheneum (March, 1987)
Author: Willo Davis Roberts
Average review score:

Sugar Isn't Everything
I myself am a diabetic, I was searching for answers as to why this happened to me. This book helped me understand things happen for a reason and I am not to blame because of my disease. This book was one of my favorites 5 years ago. Now I'm a senior in highschool and I'm going to use it for Speech Team since I can relate.

What a great book!
I am 21 years old now, and I read this book back in middle school. I still think of it as one of the best, most informative books I have ever read. Although I do not have diabetes, this book helped me to understand so much more about the disease when I was a child, and that information stuck with me. Hey! I liked the book so much I actually came to Amazon.com looking for it...almost 10 years later!

Gotta Read
This book helped me soooo much it taught me how to deal and cope with diabetic people now i know how to tell if someone is a diabetic!!!You should really read this book you won't regret spending your money on this book=:)


Super Stock: Drag Racing the Family Sedan
Published in Hardcover by CarTech, Inc. (September, 2001)
Author: Larry Davis
Average review score:

A great photo history of a bygone era.
This book is a must-have for the drag racing historian or any car nut that missed out on the golden era of drag racing the 'family' car. Numerous photos depicting how the cars were set up and raced. A fun flashback!

Super Stocks Forever
What a book! Thank you Mr.Davis for taking the enormous amount of time to compile all this info in one place. With the wealth of unseen (by me) photos this book makes me feel like I was there even though I was too young in the 1960's to experience these cars live. The book is a great reference guide for me as I am now in the process of building a nostalgia super stocker of my own.

Excellent book
This is an excellent book for anyone who likes drag racing, street racing, etc. It is about the evolution of drag racing in the 60's. This book has great pictures and commentary by the author, who has really done his research. I recomend this book to everybody who has ever had a 60's-70's muscle car.


Totally Surrounded
Published in Paperback by YWAM Publishing (January, 2000)
Author: Christina Davis
Average review score:

Totally Surrounded
Totally Surrounded is a book on a young women named Christina Di Stefano Davis. I thought this book was good because it makes you excited about missions. She devoted her life to saving the people of the Philippines not caring that she was in danger. She desperetly wanted these people to be saved. She had so much love for them its amazing and they accepted her so well. Even when the witch doctors were saying she was an evil demand some still came to listen to her, to hear what she had to say. She is an extremely brave person that's for sure!

Totally Surrounded
This one of the best books we have in the house. It is a very fascinating story of a 19 year old lady- all alone in the Philipine jungle, serving Jesus Christ with her whole heart. All ages will enjoy reading it!

What a role model!
I want to say that Christina Davis is an awesome role model for our youth today...and for anyone willing to do the work to own their life. She overcame incredible hardships as a youth and did not allow herself to become a victim to others pain and destruction. Somehow she had the strength to look up. She found a way out and has been living her life helping others also get out of their own self made prisons and onto living free, victorious, full adventurous lifes. What a refreshing story!


A-Train: Memoirs of a Tuskegee Airman
Published in Paperback by Univ. of Alabama Press (January, 2003)
Authors: Charles W. Dryden and Benjamin O. Davis
Average review score:

Fighting Germany and America.
Charles Dryden's book forces people to see the trials and tribulations encountered by black servicemen and women during WWII. I was shocked to read about the different encounters with 'Jim Crow' that Dryden and his peers waded through during their service years. A must for anybody curious about WWII, the Tuskegee Airmen or about the fight for civil rights in America.

A definitive study in courage
I meet Col. Dryden when he gave a talk about his experiences and his book. I then read the book a felt a tremendous respect for the author and all the Tuskeegee Airmen. Col. Dryden tells his personal story in a way that made me feel as though I was there with him the whole time. The challanges of blacks in America in his story left a powerful impact on me, the courage the author displayed is an insperation. A-Train is very well written and reads easily. It is an powerful story that left me feeling inadequate and ashamed to be white. I had the oportunity to meet Col. Dryden again and sought him out just to shake his hand again, knowing him from his book, it was hard to hide my emotions.

Every young African American boy should read this book.
Every young African American boy should read this book. It is an inspiration.
