Intended as the primary text for introductory courses on medical anthropology, this book integrates human biological data relevant to health and disease with both evolutionary theory and the social environments that more often than not produce major challenges to health and survival. Because students who take this fastest-growing anthropology course come from a variety of disciplines (anthropology, biology, especially pre-med students, and health sciences, especially), the text does not assume anything beyond a basic high-school level familiarity with human biology and anthropology. The authors first present basic biological information on a particular health condition and then expand their analysis to include evolutionary, historical, and cross-cultural perspectivesAmong the topics covered are nutrition, infectious disease, stress, reproductive health, behavioral disease, aging, race/racism and health, mental health, and healers and healing.

Internal Bleeding: The Truth Behind America's Terrifying Epidemic of Medical Mistakes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I highly recommend this book!
I first saw Dr. Wachter on IMUS. The interview was terrific. Not only was the subject matter interesting, the doctor spoke in a language anyone could understand, and he was funny to boot. He made a great analogy about calling his favorite Chinese take-out restaurant to place an order. Before they hung up, they repeated the order back to him (like the world would end if he got the wrong kind of soup), but nurses and pharmacists have not been trained to do the same when a prescription is phoned in. The just say thanks to the doctor and hang up.
Well, I immediately bought the book and could not put it down. So many of these types of books speak to other medical personnel, this one is for everyone. I have recommended it to my book club (15 suburban Moms) and the discussions have been quite interesting. We all have our own stories to share about the medical process. Who doesn't have a story about a doctors appointment with an ailing parent or a 2:00am emergency room visit with their toddler? I now feel better equipped to deal with these situations.

Applied Physical Pharmacy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have taken a class with Dr. Amiji and his book is just like his class, extremly well done. This book is very helpful for pharmacy majors, it gives thorough explanations and practice sets with all of the answers (not just the odd #'s). I would definately recomend to anyone who is taking his class as well. I have bought many textbooks that were a waste, but this is one that I will keep. It breaks down the equations into simple steps and makes daunting problems seem approachable. The theory is taught in a language that is understandable.
