Color Atlas of Head and Neck Anatomy
Published in Hardcover by Mosby (November, 1994)
Authors: Robert M.H. McMinn, Ralph T. Hutchings, and B. M. Logan
Average review score:

quiste tirogloso
cirugia con tecnica de SISTRUN

Great
Everyone agrees that the anatomy of Head and Neck is the most difficult, yet important, part of human anatomy. McMinn did a really great job in this book which presents detailed but clear structures which are clinically(surgically) relevant. Lecturers usually recommend medical students, who eager to pursue a srugical career in the future, to read Last's anatomy and using the the real-specimens-featured McMinn's Color Atlas of Human Anatomy. The latter atlas is enough for Med School anatomy course, but the content of Head and Neck part chapter is less than the Color Atlas of Head and Neck Anatomy which in the whole book deals with ENT. I think this Head and Neck atlas is particularly useful for ENT surgeons(and Dental Surgeons as well) or students who want to be ENT surgeons. Otherwise one may find enough to read Last's and McMinn's(I also use Netter as a supplement).

Average review score:

Through Logan's Eyes
How does Logan see the world? We've never really known. How does he explain Kristy, Jessi and the gang, and especially his girlfriend, Mary Anne to the reader? Does he notice Claudia's unique style? Stacey's looks? Find out how Logan, the only boy baby-sitter in the club, feels about it all. Being different. Being teased. Three stars- average

Logan has a choice to babysit or not
It was pretty good. Logan loves baby sitting but hates being teased. It was suspenceful but kind of boring


Lonely Planet Brussels, Bruges & Antwerp (Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp, 2nd Ed)
Published in Paperback by Lonely Planet (September, 2001)
Authors: Leanne Logan and Geert Cole
Average review score:

Bad Book!
My husband and I traveled to Brussels with this book, and got so lost. We met another couple with the same book--and they could not find anything either! We had better luck with our hotel map. I love lonely planet books, but stay clear of this one.

Excellent Guidebook, like all LP guidebooks.
I found the LP Brussels to be informative, clear and altogether correct. I used this to live in Brussels for 3 months while working, and it never failed me, just as their guides never do. I highly recommend.


Human Sectional Anatomy: Pocket Atlas of Body Sections, CT and MRI Images
Published in Paperback by Oxford University Press (15 October, 2001)
Authors: Harold Ellis, Bari M. Logan, Adrian K. Dixon, Bari Logan, and Adrian Dixon
Average review score:

CT and MRI pics are of low quality
I've been hesistating for this book for couple of weeks. Since what I really needed is a sectional anatomy book for helping to learn CT and MRI reading, it is really important to have a book have both good anatomy structure illustation and CT and MRI sample. This book features as best quality of section antomy photos but not the CT and MRI. Those CT and MRI pictures are to small to tell midsize organ and almost none of small structure, which is also critical in a lot of cases. As to the sectional anatomy photos, it turn our to be not that important to buy a book for becaus there is couple of website have the smae quality resource you can use webbased java applet to research every section of human body. So with a good CT and MRI book and several good websites, you can achieve much more than this book can do in your learning of sectional anatomy. But I'd like to still give three stars to this niced decorated and pocket size book for a not bad price.


Lonely Planet Middle East on a Shoestring (2nd Ed)
Published in Paperback by Lonely Planet (March, 1997)

"Shoestrings" - excellent read but too much missing!
As usual, Lonely Planet have attacked this project with vigour and research and produced a comprehensive guide to the Middle East. However, as is the problem with the "Shoestring" editions, a vast amount has to be left out, an enormous of amount of information must be precised in order to produce a managable, helpful guide for a region. Local knowledge of an area is vital to ensure that the correct points, places of interest and general information are included. Unfortunately, LP have hit slightly wide of the mark with this region. It is an area which is full of history and a culture that is very sensitive to the western ideals and my advice would be to purchase each country's book separately. Whilst this is a more expensive and even bulky alternative, simply sell, swap or send home the discarded books.

I understand that LP are in the process of producing further separate guides thus breaking down this region again, which will be excellent. The guide itself, however, is a good read though!


THE MAN WHO ROBBED THE ROBBER BARONS
Published in Paperback by Trafalgar Square (01 September, 2001)
Author: Andy Logan
Average review score:

Clever, well researched, has movie potential
It's not as entertaining as I'd hoped, but it's still a fun read. I suppose I was expecting more scandal or more irony, or perhaps both. The book does provide a glimpse into Gilded Age business and social life that I was looking for, though it doesn't provide as much color and dirt as I'd expected.

Andy Logan, the author, only alludes to the dozens (hundreds? thousands?) of scandals whose payoffs made William Mann wealthy enough to afford his house in the country and his incredible, artery clogging meals at Delmonico's. The book's climax is a libel trial with Mann on the side of the plaintiff, and the resulting dirt falls on Mann, not on his victims. This is no spoiler -- the hand of Justice seems foreordained.

The book gets 3 stars because I think an author could have written a more compelling story around this material. Logan was, of course, a first class writer, but she didn't actually develop any characters, even though she provides the profusion of facts from which characters could be built. Aside from Mann himself, she fleshes out the backgrounds of some of his opponents, but never really structures a story around them.

This leads to my conclusion that this would make a good movie. The script could be a wooden-headed Hollywood costume vehicle, of course, or it could highlight the ethical ambiguities attending both the obvious bad guys and the apparent good guys of the Gilded Age, especially in New York. Logan provides a wealth of well-written material to support such a script, though her words don't provide all of the drama or comedy the film would need.


Return to Childhood : The Memoir of a Modern Moroccan Woman
Published in Paperback by Univ of Texas Press (March, 1999)
Authors: Leila Abouzeid and Heather Logan Taylor
Average review score:

Dense text loses reader
There are delightful passages in this memoir and there are interesting details of the Maroccan fight for independence. But there is little of how it felt to grow up in Marocco 50 years ago; and even less description of what the country or the country side was like or looked like.
What this book has in abundance, and it is quite impressive in this respect, is an attempt to transcribe conversations; it shows quite a lot of story-telling in its most intimate manner -- among family members. This repeated story-telling from three different generations reveals how villagers evolve and perpetuate biases or points of view that are then repeated from generation to generation.
But what this book lacks is clarity. I wonder if this was not a problem of translation from the Arabic. The oral stories are told often without a prior reference for the pronouns "her, she, him , or he," making it difficult to understand. Not once, not twice, but many, many times I had to read over and reread again the same story looking for a reference and more often than not ending up, just going on without having a grip on who said what about exactly whom. And it is my belief that, every time a careful reader has to stop and go back to read again and still be left in a state of uncertainty, something is wrong with that text. Because I believe that Ms. Abouzeid is a good writer, I have to blame the translator -- which in this case is unfortunately, Ms. Abouzeid herself. Three stars -- Two taken out for reading difficulty.


Santa and Son (Harlequin Love & Laughter, No 10)
Published in Paperback by Harlequin (December, 1996)
Author: Leandra Logan
Average review score:

It was OK.
A cute enough little tale.

Recently widowed woman meets the grandson of the toy store santa (an aging ham actor) after Santa promises her young son *everything* on his Christmas list. The young widow is obviously dismayed by this promise, since she's not made of money; the kid is keeping mum about what's on his list!

The grandson (a hunky world-famous journalist, of course) is smitten and tries to help her out. Adorable hilarity ensues. Well, OK, there's not really that much hilarity, and it's not all that adorable, but it's nice enough.


Slocum and the Live Oak Boys (Slocum, No 240)
Published in Paperback by Jove Pubns (March, 1999)
Author: Jake Logan
Average review score:

Great book lots of action
Hi, I think that this book was a great book. It had a lot of action. But it was a little confusing when it said something about him in the military for the confederates. but it was very exciting when he went into the live oak boy's camp. I recommend that everyone whos a western fan should buy this book. It will go nicely in your collection


Slocum and the Lone Star Feud (Slocum , No 233)
Published in Paperback by Jove Pubns (August, 1998)
Author: Jake Logan
Average review score:

Slocum to the Rescue
The book has a fairly common plot line: Pretty lady owns a ranch and is being slowly driven off her land by a rustling, backshooting, landhungry bad guy and his accomplices. Slocum rides in to rescue the maiden in distress. Because this is an adult series Western, we have a few graphic sex scenes and a few gunfights. Because there is apparently very little editing done in adult series Westerns and dozens of different writers submit material to the series publisher, the quality within the series varies greatly from book to book. Strangely, the quality of Slocum and the Lone Star Feud varies widely WITHIN the book. The first few chapters are excellent. Somewhere around page 40, the book goes from five star to one star. Apparently the author and the editor were not aware of Gray's Rules for Westerns. There is a gross violation of rule number five which says that the hero should never be captured by the bad guys or knocked unconscious more than once in a book (and not at all is preferable).
