This is probably what I consider as the Bible in the realm of Physical Therapy. I have had this book ever since I was in college and it has proven to be valuable to me now that I am in my 11th year of practice as it was when I was still in my budding internship. I consider the cases found at the end of every chapter as the most helpful and insightful and for anyone hooked on evidence-based treatment strategies, this book is a must. Ms. Sullivan's work is seminal and phenomenal!

This is a very comprehensive textbook, however, I will not recommend it to readers that only has an interest in the subject. Some of the content is highly mathematical, and as such meant for serious students in this field. The book covers a very wide range of subjects in this field.

Molecular Biology of the Gene, Fifth Edition Review

Molecular Biology of the Gene, Fifth Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am a layman with a serious interest in biology. I read science news, especially in Nature and Scientific American, and I often find that I don't have enough background to understand articles at the level at which I want to understand them. I bought this book hoping to get that background, and I wasn't disappointed.
For example, once the human genome was sequenced, it appeared that there were far too few genes for an organism as complex as ourselves. But investigation shows that most genes occur in segments and that the messenger RNA must be cut and spliced before the protein can be formed. Often there are two or more ways the RNA may be spliced, so that one gene can specify more than one protein. Another problem is that the genome seemed to consist mostly of sections that don't code for proteins; these were called "junk". But it turns out that some "junk" DNA codes for RNA sequences that have catalytic and regulatory roles, roles which used to be considered the bailiwick of proteins alone. Articles about topics such as these used to confuse me thoroughly, but after reading this book I find them much clearer.
This book benefits from a great many illustrations and I recommend that you go through each one as you would a worked problem in a math text. Observe how the pieces fit together, how a particular group of atoms enhances or inhibits a reaction. The practice will help you to understand other things you will read later.
I called this a "reference" for good reason: I assume that I will come across many future articles which will send me back to it to fill in some background.
[Added 4 July 2006] As I assumed when I first wrote this review, I have used it for reference. I have read several books about what I call "enhanced evolution", where mechanisms that go beyond simple point mutations speed up evolution by providing more variation. For example, gene regulation, alternate splicing, and gene duplication all play important roles. I have surprised myself by remembering more than I expected to (thanks to the clarity of this book) but I have still used it for clarification.

The text is built around functional health patterns, a framework used by many schools of nursing. With a focus on developing decision-making skills, the authors encourage students to think critically, thoughtfully, and realistically through an abundance of case studies and examples. Because nursing care is organized around prioritized diagnoses with interventions and rationales, students quickly understand the rationale of each action.

Sabiston Textbook of Surgery (Sabiston Textbook of Surgery: The Biological Basis of Modern Practicsurgical Practice) Review

Sabiston Textbook of Surgery (Sabiston Textbook of Surgery: The Biological Basis of Modern Practicsurgical Practice)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I "converted" from Greenfield, pleased with the new changes to Sabiston which included better quality paper, consistent diagrams and illustrations throughout the book, and concise but relevant discussions within the chapters. This book seemed more practical than Greenfield did. Furthermore, many of the contributors are my attendings and I rely on their brilliance and expertise daily.
My problem with this book (which is unfortunately a major one) is in the editing. There are several errors in the book which go beyond typos. Some seem to be where the wrong word was substituted ("anterior" instead of "posterior"). Some involve confusing wording.
The illustrations, which were initially one of the things that appealed to me, have turned out to be overly simplistic and in some cases wrong (p.1406, illustration of colonic blood supply does not show the SMA and makes it appear that the ileocolic, right colic, and middle colic are coming straight off the aorta.) Details which would be appreciated (lateral rectal stalks and the locations of the parasympathetic/sympathetic nerves) are not there. (Please note that I am picking on the colorectal chapter, as the one I'm currently reading, but have found this issue in other chapters.)
I still like the book, but the errors are very disconcerting -- I keep wondering what errors I've read that I haven't picked up on. I'm starting a list to send to the publisher for the next edition.

In Anesthesiology they say you are either a "Barash Person" or a "Miller Person." It is my personal opinion that Barash does probably the best job at providing content that is relevant and devoid of minutia. All sections contain material that is optimal for reading and assimilation. The text is large, yet it is far from dry. I highly recommend this as "The" backbone text for Anesthesiology!

John Murtagh's General Practice Review

John Murtagh's General Practice
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
to say that Dr Murtagh wrote a good and practical GP Book is an understatement. it is in fact, the best Family Medicine/General Practice Book that i have read so far. I should have read/studied this book when i was still having my Family Medicine Residency 10 years ago. But then again, being a practicing GP in my home country, and will soon relocate to Oz as GP, i'd say Dr Murtagh's book is indispensible. Nothing compares to it.
