Lexi-Comp, 2008 wait, there's more Lexi-Comp's Drug Information Handbook is the bomb. No nagging adds like the PDR; just the facts, ma'am. More eye friendly than previous editions, and still packed with about a gillion tables in the appendix. Drug names are now in red. This is the cat's meow; I probably use it once a day in patient care. Shipping and price are much better through Amazon than through the publisher.             The Important Book38 reviews Margaret Wise Brown HarperTrophy, 1990 Great Book to Start the Year I read this book to my students and then used the predictable format to create a class book highlighting the important thing about each student. The students seemed to enjoy the story quite a bit.             The Killer Angels512 reviews Michael Shaara Ballantine Books, 1987 Still the best, after all Michael Shaara isn't a well-known figure in American literature. He spent most of his writing career producing short stories, mostly science fiction. He only wrote three novels while he was alive, the current book, a boxing novel titled "The Broken Place" and a futuristic doomsday thriller titled "The Herald". The boxing novel was critically successful but didn't sell well, and "The Herald" was ...             Maternity & Women's Health Care (Lowdermilk, Maternity & Women's Health Care)9 reviews Deitra Leonard Lowdermilk, Shannon E. Perry Mosby, 2007 Great Book I would definitely recommend this book to maternity, L&D, postpartum nurses who like to get information from a hardbound reliable source. It has good, detailed information. Only downside, textbooks go out of date. So it's probably best as a tool for while you're in nursing school still.             The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics11 reviews Leonard Susskind Little, Brown and Company, 2008 flawed but a must read This is a good book and the author does a great job of explaining the black hole information paradox. He also does a v.g. job of describing the personalities of those involved. The discussion of thought experiments in theoretical physics is also outstanding. What mars the book is the fact that the author is guilty of so many of the quirks that he often points out in his adversaries. It is amusing ...             The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives35 reviews Leonard Mlodinow Pantheon, 2008 Excellent Anecdotal Introduction to How Randomness Fools Us Have you ever flipped a coin 100 times to see the sequence of heads and tails that comes up? If you have, you know that there can be long streaks of heads and tails. Random results that end up 50-50 don't look that way in the short term. Human perception is such that we like to find patterns where none exist. I remember the CEO of a company I worked for would draw a trend line through one ...             The Fountainhead963 reviews Ayn Rand, Leonard Peikoff Signet, 1996 Attractive Book At first sight, i never thought I would like this book or read it like i'm in that world; but, i did. I was in and did not want to come out, for reasons i, myself, can't explain. it's a great book of mysterious power to suck the readers into the vacuum of its world.             Hal Leonard Guitar Method, Complete Edition: Books & CD's 1, 2 and 376 reviews Will Schmid, Greg Koch Hal Leonard Corporation, 2002 Great book After about 5 days of practicing chords with the DVD that came with my acoustic guitar, I've been able to start playing actual songs after just one day with this book. It helps that I already know how to read music, but I do think that this book is really helpful. Combined with other learning by demonstration DVDs, I feel like I'm already able to accomplish more than just learning a few chords.             The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, 2nd edition94 reviews Edward R. Tufte Graphics Press, 2001 Masterpiece of graphic design proves timeless and universal I returned to Tufte's first classic book of graphic design principles over 20 years after first discovering it. At the time, I was the corporate librarian for a major electric utility, and the explosion in the organization and creation of information by individuals with new personal-computer hardware and software was just beginning (I had an IBM PC-XT with 640Kb of RAM and two 360k floppies--no ...             The Five People You Meet in Heaven1595 reviews Mitch Albom Hyperion, 2003 beautifully written and developed "the five people" is an outstanding book. about 200 pages, it's very easy reading. it tells the story of a man who goes to heaven and meets various people who share with him secrets that had affected him at various times throughout his life. this book is brilliantly developed. it is highly recommended!!!             Paradise Lost (Penguin Classics)23 reviews John Milton Penguin Classics, 2003 Timeless Classic John Milton's "Paradise Lost" is a timeless classic. It's imagery, based itself upon 1500 years of previous Christian-cultural imagery, has shaped how the Western world views Christianity, sin, the fall, life, death, heaven, and hell. The open-minded non-Christian reader would do well to read "Paradise Lost" to become a literate student of Christian imagery. The Christian, willing to work ...             Leonard Maltin's 2009 Movie Guide (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide (Signet))8 reviews Leonard Maltin Signet, 2008 Maltin's the king of the succinct review Every movie lover should have this compact, brick-sized guidebook. With more than 17,000 movie reviews -- including 300 new entries for this edition -- Leonard Maltin's 2009 Movie Guide is a valuable resource. My favorite movie critic has been and always will be Roger Ebert; I always buy his annual Movie Yearbook. This Leonard Maltin guide is also a must-buy. I like it for the writing. Maltin ...             Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum (10th Edition)6 reviews Laurence Behrens, Leonard J. Rosen Longman, 2007 Exactly what i needed This was the required book i needed for class. It was about 10 more dollars at the bookstore. When I started my english class I had the previous edition that my sister had used the year before, so I needed this book to arrive within a week. It was delivered pretty fast and of course in mint condition. The book itself I think is way better than the previous edition and I'm glad I got it from Amazon             Massacre at Mountain Meadows16 reviews Ronald W. Walker, Richard E. Turley, ... Oxford University Press, USA, 2008 Massacre at Mountain Meadows This book is an astute history of a painful episode in Mormon history: the massacre of an immigrant train in southern Utah while it was on its way to California in September 1857. This has been a difficult subject for members and leaders of the LDS Church to deal with, but these three Mormon historians and scholars write with candor and great detail about the incident in ways that will not ...             A Briefer History of Time60 reviews Stephen Hawking, Leonard Mlodinow Bantam, 2008 Easiest One Yet to Read and Understand Of all of Hawking's books, and I believe I own and have read them all, this one is by far the easiest to read and understand. Difficult topics to comprehend are taken step by step, mostly in laymen's terms, from the beginnings of astronomy thru current efforts to find a unified theory for everything. If you really want to begin to understand our place in the universe this is a good place to ...             Information Systems Today: Managing in the Digital World (3rd Edition)2 reviews Leonard Jessup, Joseph Valacich Prentice Hall, 2007 Excellent product The product was exactly how the buyer described it would be. Excellent condition and fast delivery! Thanks!!             Music Theory for Guitarists: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know But Were Afraid to Ask25 reviews Tom Kolb Hal Leonard, 2005 Excellent Tells you all about music theory as it relates to guitar. This won't give you any riffs. That's not the point of the book. It explains music theory as it applies to the guitar and gives you a framework in which to create those riffs. It works very well as a resource. This is not a "play all the stuff in here and you'll get better at guitar book". It delves into some fairly complex territory, ...             Pathophysiology of Heart Disease: A Collaborative Project of Medical Students and Faculty (PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF ...21 reviews Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006 Best Book Ever If you are in medical school this book is the greatest thing you will ever buy.

Get it right now!!             The Chord Wheel: The Ultimate Tool for All Musicians23 reviews Jim Fleser Hal Leonard Corporation, 2000 Great Tool This is a concise reference tool for a musician. Once you understand the concept this will save you hours of work !!             Maternal Child Nursing Care (Wong, Maternal Child Nursing Care)4 reviews Donna L. Wong, Shannon E. Perry, ... Mosby, 2005 Good book, even though it's required This book was required for my last semester of nursing school (OB/Peds), but I still think it's a good book. It does a good job of combining OB & Peds instead of having two separate (and often confusing) references as we've had in other subjects. ~~~It's now near the end of the semester and I wanted to amend my review of this book. I tried to change my rating to 4 stars and couldn't. I ...              search for books classics, collaborative, complete, curriculum, digital, drunkard, everything, fountainhead, guitarists, handbook, important, information, lexi-comp, lowdermilk, managing, massacre, maternal, maternity, mechanics, mountain, musicians, paradise, pathophysiology, project, quantitative, randomness, reading, students, ultimate, writing books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
