There aren't many books published addressing the task of proper EMS documentation. I purchased this book hoping that it would serve as a good reference and guide throughout my career, especially considering the liability of writing these reports. I found this reference to be extrememly disappointing in its content. It briefly describes the common "SOAP" format used in many reports, but does not give any examples or other types of formats that may be practical. A majority of the book consists of pages and pages of common medical terms and abbreviations, which I found to be minimally useful. This book definitely does not live up to its title or price.

I was very disappointed in this book as it is a total work of fiction. The title really intrigued me so I purchased the book. I was surprised when I received it and realized it was a novel instead of a work of non-fiction.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

After researching and lecturing about this topic of "European churches of early 20th century Germany" at my University, I can clearly state that this is one of the worst written books I have come across. A great deal of the information is inaccurate and poorly translated. Reading several of Huntemann's work, I would have to put the criticism on his translator, Huizinga. To say the least, Huizinga needs to take more time in studying his German before humiliating such an excellent author. As one of my colleagues asked me to include, "we can't wait till the revision comes out."

This literature is heavily biased to 12 hour work shifts. Not practical at all and very skewed. As an Industrial Engineer I have spent many years dealing with 24-7 manufacturing operations and there is much more data that supports 8 hour shifts for high fatigue situations than this book would lead you to believe. Was looking for data and alternatives and got neither. Lots of fancy words and conjecture. If you do not need the facts this book will impress your friends.

Bottom line this book is horrible. It's very difficult to grasp their "conversational" style of teaching. Math requires good concreate examples with clear defined steps. This book does neither. The goal of the authors was to use a conversational writing style, I must say this approach has failed.

There were too many pictures. Writing was very awkward

Whereas the first book in this series, THE STAR GHOST, was at least readable, semi-likable, and understandable, this book is absolute rubbish. It makes a mockery of Bashir, a mockery of Jake and Nog, a mockery of the Bajorans, a mockery of the whole great show. This is not only a bad book, it is downright insulting. Stay away from this one.

The book is not for DBA at all. I did not get much out of it. They did not talk about the GUI tools provided by Teradata. Just the Teradata SQL syntax and general concepts. The sample they give is more of Teradata 101. I wish I did not get it. It was 162 pages of information that I can get off the web. I read it in 2 days. A very unhappy customer.

I was excited when I heard about this book because I loved the Todd Gamble maps I found on the Wizards of the Coast website (D&D Map-a-Week archive). The maps on wizards.com have sparked a number of adventure ideas and were all very high quality.

This book, however was a HUGE disappointment. Basically it is just a book of some uninteresting floor plans, dull tunnel mazes, overland maps with nothing but a river with a bridge or some such. Nothing at all sparked my interest. 62 pages of Blah.

To make matters worse, there are great big text blocks on every map that give the title of the map and the map scale, but they obscure part of the map. Also, many of the maps are printed so dark that it is very hard to even see what is drawn on them, and they would never photocopy.

I sent this book back. It was a total waste. I cant beleive that such a great cartographer would put out something this poor. I highly recommend you check out his stuff on wizards.com, but dont waste your money on this book.

This book contains numerous typos. A mistake which, from the, start, erodes credibility. It is often ambigous about wound care techniques. For example, it states that "they" don't use irrigation guns. But it doesn't tell the reader whether anyone else does. This book was written by a surgical technologist and paramedic from George Washington Medical Center. They always make reference to what they do at their facility. I think an author with an adequate width and depth of experience would not write from this perspective. The book was co-authored by a paramedic...According to a description of the book, there should have been several different BASIC suturing techiques. They barely cover or adequately explain simple interrupted and vertical/horizontal mattress. This book, in short, just don't cut the mustard. Save your money!
