Then got out of the habit of using it for 11 years til now (2010). It has gotten twice as thick as before, lol! But still very useful & small, lean & mean as another reviewer said. I use a iTouch with Lexidrugs on it, if I need more detail (adverse reactions & percentages, etc. for more unusual drugs like infliximab, & such). CONS: 1. needs a plastic ...             The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right121 reviews Atul Gawande Metropolitan Books, 2009 An Essential Tool in Twenty-First Century Surgery Before I ever heard of Atul Gawande or his WHO surgical checklist, I spent a decade in US Naval nuclear power.

This is one of my two favorite books. I am a vocational rehabilitation counselor and feel that the book has taught me things I didn't know about what is possible for my consumers with a head injury or stroke. Also, I think it is a good book for teachers or parents, as it explains why learning, practicing, imagining etc. are good for children. All the research that has been done is very ...             Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Sixth Edition546 reviews American Psychological Association (APA), 2009 A great resource to purchase This is money well spent.

Apart from the first three chapters, which explain to us in detail the structure of the brain, with its two halves, detail necessary for us to understand what happened to the author, the first part of the book reads like a thriller and is unputdownable. She, Jill, wakes up early one morning to a sharp pain behind her ...             The Out-of-Sync Child: Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Disorder, Revised Edition75 reviews Carol Kranowitz Perigee Trade, 2006 For parents searching for answers!

This book does an excellent job of explaining which part of the body is used in each asana (muscle groups, tendons, etc). I particularly liked the very in depth intro describing the anatomy of how humans breathe - very useful in yoga practice. The illustrations were also great and they covered quite a variety of poses. However, I was expecting more of a how to guide for each pose. Possibly ...             Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses109 reviews Judith Hopfer Deglin, April Hazard Vallerand, ... F A Davis Co, 2010 Drug Guide I love this edition of drug guide. The CD-ROM is a life saver and is pretty much the only way I use the book.
