books by W B Saunders Co     books:       Epidemiology27 reviews Leon Gordis W B Saunders Co, 1996 Great Introductory Text This was a required text for my introductory epidemiology course. I have had an interest in epi for a number of years and approached the book with a fair amount of skepticism, especially given its relatively small size. After reading the first few chapters I found Gordis's writing style to be dry and too convoluted for otherwise simple topics. Saying this, halfway through the semester I really ...             Medical Terminology: A Short Course8 reviews Davi-Ellen Chabner W B Saunders Co, 1991 Very informative and easy to follow. I purchased this book to refresh my knowledge. I had enrolled in college and wanted to test out of their Medical Terminology course. I had taken Anatomy & Physiology in the past and had worked as a medical secretary in a hospital so I was looking to feel more confident with my word knowledge. This book was easy to follow and was very helpful. It has a lot of diagrams and pictures to give ...             Pocket Companion for Physical Examination and Health Assessment4 reviews Carolyn, Rn Jarvis W B Saunders Co, 1993 Great handheld reference for nursing students!

No matter what your field, there will always be the potential that you will become ...             Textbook of medical physiology76 reviews Arthur C Guyton W.B. Saunders Co, 1961 Guyton prepares you for the shelf I bought both this book and Costanzo for my first year physio class and loved the Guyton book. He explains everything very well so that you understand why systems work the way they do. Costanzo, while easy to read, tends to dumb the information down, and as a result, you end up memorizing facts instead of understanding concepts. At my medical school, we take the shelf as the final, and after ...             Basic pathology,11 reviews Stanley L Robbins W. B. Saunders Co, 1971 A useful review of basic pathology The 7th addition of Robbins Basic pathology is several hundred pages shorter than the previous edition. Most of what was removed was basic physiology and anatomy review. I found that while it's good to have a shorter textbook, the loss of these subjects made for less interesting reading. The 7th edition also adds quite a bit more molecular biology and molecular genetics, reflecting chnages in the ...             Pharmacology for Nursing Care (With Diskette)29 reviews Richard A. Lehne, Linda A. Moore, ... W B Saunders Co, 1998 This book got me through pharmacology Pharm was definitely my hardest subject during nursing school. I had a hard time keeping all the drug classes straight, but this incredible textbook gave me the exact tools I needed to understand the drugs. With Lehne's sense of humor (in chapter 1 she writes a note to the "chemophobes" - those of us who are scared of chemistry class!) makes this text book interesting and easy to read.             Dorlands Illustrated Medical Dictionary 26ED36 reviews William Alexander Newman Dorland, Dorland Saunders, W B Co, 1981 Excellent Medical Reference My wife and I purchased this book as a graduation present for our daughter who recently graduated from the University of Hawaii School of Medicine, Masters in Speech Pathology program. She loved the book and keeps it in her office for quick reference. She found it immensely helpful and easier to access than the internet. lol             Physical Examination and Health Assessment25 reviews Carolyn Jarvis W B Saunders Co, 1992 Great deal! I purchase this book for an online class and the price I got was $12 better than at the university bookstore!             Understanding Nursing Research5 reviews Nancy Burns, Susan K.
