Peter Senge's way.......2002-11-02

Peter Senge's Foreword of this book convinced me to buy it. I discovered on it a refreshing view of the organizational life and interpersonal relationships. As a manager as well as a martial arts practicioner I found a new way to integrate both aspects that enlarged my understanding.

good exam simulator.......2007-07-22

a good book that helped me prepare for my test. i liked its format being divided into exam blocks like the real test. i don't think it's the best book available, yet, it's a good pick and investment as exam simulator.

excellent.......2005-09-14

I heard both positives and negatives about this book but I love to have it. It has been pretty much helpful.

More Questions.......2004-11-25

Well, I must say that the best way to place high on Step II is to really build your foundational knowledge of the application of medicine during your 3rd year. That said, I feel that the importance of doing practice questions for several months before the actual exam cannot be overstated.

But there is really an art to "doing practice questions." One part of that art is to have a huge bank of questions available. Basically, each question in the entire bank adds one (or sometimes a few) little fact(s) to your fund of knowledge.

If you have a limited bank of questions, and that is your primary "test prep" source, then you run the risk of not being adequately prepared for the actual exam. Unfortunately, as we all know, USMLE can be rather nitpicky. So simply knowing a broader base of detailed facts can play in greatly to your advantage on the real exam.

I found "USMLE Step 2 Mock Exam" to present a very good variety of facts that were not as well covered in other sources (Kaplan, NMS, other minor sources). Thus, it added to my overall knowledge base in a complimentary way, which is exactly what I hoped for when I purchased the book.

I recommend this book as an additional resource while preparing for Step II. If you have the time, it can help to go through this book and your other resources more than one time each. I found that the questions I had seen more than once bought facts to my recall much faster during the exam. Many facts I learned in this book were directly applicable to helping me understand questions on the actual exam.

A question vignette format of his Secrets Book.......2004-09-02

If you read Brochert's Step 2 Secrets book, then you will have no problems navigating through the Mock Exam. The book is good in that it reinforces some key ideas from his Secrets book, and it's another source of questions for your Step 2 prep. As far as teaching you something different from his Secrets or Crush books, you won't get that in this book.

The book is most helpful not with its clinical vignette questions, but with its "most common" questions, which showed up a lot on my exam. In short, there are better question books and banks out there, so think twice before buying this book IF you haven't already read Secrets or Crush Step 2.

Very helpful question book.......2003-12-24

Great book! Lots of questions very similar to those on the exam. I found myself thinking back to a lot of these questions as I was taking the exam. The explanations for the questions are concise yet helpful. I didn't have a chance to complete all the exams in the book but it was still very helpful.

Revolutionary........2000-07-11

Before Martin Brennan and his team researched the Boyne Valley cairns and Knowth, few archeologists took the locals seriously when they told stories of the structures. Even after the studies were complete many archeologists wouldn't comment on what the team found. Now, years later, there is a grudging admittance that Brennan's astronishing work is correct. The concepts and the illustrations will take your breath away. Prepare to be astounded.

Book Description

In a thought-provoking analysis of prehistoric art, astronomy, archaeology and the history of civilization, Stars, Stones and Scholars presents the decipherment of the megaliths (standing stones) by Andis Kaulins, Lecturer at the University of Trier in Germany. Stars, Stones and Scholars shows that ancient megalithic sites are remnants of ancient local, regional and worldwide Neolithic surveys of the Earth by astronomy. Circa 40 photographs, 240 drawings and 80 maps show how megaliths were carved and "sculpted" with figures and cupmarks (holes in the stones) to represent stars and constellations, long before the modern astrological Zodiac was known. Megalithic sites from England (Stonehenge), Wales (Paviland), Scotland (Clava Cairns), Ireland (Newgrange, Knowth), Germany (Externsteine), Benelux (Weris), France (Carnac), Italy (La Spezia), Malta (Tarxien), Greece, Turkey (Anatolia), Scandinavia (Tanum), the Baltic, Russia, the Near East, the Far East (China and Japan), Africa, Central and South America (Tikal, Maya, Aztecs), Oceania (Hawaii), The USA (Cahokia, Miami Circle, Clovis) and Canada (Peterborough Petroglyphs) are included in this fascinating book- which , as it is corroborated over time by the research of others- will become a landmark of human literature.

Buckle up your seat belts, we are going for a ride........2004-03-10

It is rare for a book to cover the distance and depth found in Stones, Stars and Scholars by Andis Kaulins. However the conclusion of the book, that the ancient megaliths tell a story about a world wide system of surveying and measurement well in effect in 3000 BC, will turn the world of scholarship upside down. While it is a pioneering work, there is more than enough information here to prove the authors basic premise that the megalithic sites, all over the world, represent a map of the sky on the ground.

Implications in this book for historians include granting ancient peoples much more credibility for understanding our place in the solar system, movements of people and ideas in the ancient world, the origin of scientific methods and an uncanny knowledge of these ideas around the world.

When I was growing up I always heard that our human cognitive abilities were developed in part from observing the sun, moon and stars. This book begins to develop the meaning of that statement by showing that the depth of understanding of the relationship of the sky to terrestrial geography was profound in the human species for a very long time. It is a shame that most historians and archeologists have forgotten or never knew basic astronomy and its relationship with the reality structure of ancient people. This book begins to mend this problem.

A bonus with the book is the linguistic comparison of the names of the constellations, stars, megalithic sites and local town names with the local native language, and other languages including Latvian. This analysis supports the theory that the ancients were aware of precession, the pole of the ecliptic and other astronomical facts that historians are reluctant to admit.

The dating of the monuments by analyzing carvings on the stones to represent moments where solstices and other astronomical events occured in the past is revolutionary. The author presents the idea that "modern time" began on December 25, 3117 BC and is found in carvings supporting that idea located around the world.

This book requires close study but is extremely rewarding in understanding human development: As above, so below.

Author's Summary.......2004-01-14

Stars, Stones and Scholars is a pioneer analysis of prehistoric art, megalithic sites, astronomy, archaeology and the history of civilization. The book title is an intentional play on the title of C.W. Ceram's famous book, Gods, Graves and Scholars, which analyzed the history of archaeology from a quite limited perspective - starting with the Gods and the Graves, placing too much emphasis on the Scholars, and ignoring the study of the Stars and the workmanship of Stones which PRECEDED them. Stars, Stones and Scholars presents the decipherment of the megaliths (standing stones) as an ancient survey of the Earth by astronomy. The book presents initial proofs and discussion claiming that ancient megalithic sites are remnants of ancient local, regional and worldwide Neolithic surveys oriented to the stars. This hypothesis is not even speculative - in ancient days, no other means except astronomy were available for earthly orientation. The book's ca. 40 photographs, 240 drawings and 80 maps show how megaliths were carved and "sculpted" with figures in relief (what can still be made of them) and cupmarks (holes in the stones) to intentionally represent specific stars, constellations and asterisms, long before our modern astrological Zodiac was allegedly known. Megalithic sites from around the world are analyzed and shown to be part of ancient SYSTEMATIC survey systems covering entire regions ca. 3000 BC. The countries analyzed include, for example, England (all the major Neolithic sites including e.g. Stonehenge, Wayland's Smithy, Kents Cavern), Wales (all the major Neolithic sites including e.g. Paviland), Scotland (all the major Neolithic sites including e.g. the Clava Cairns), Ireland (all the major Neolithic sites including Newgrange, Knowth, Tara), Germany (most of the major sites including the Externsteine, Nebra, Gollenstein, Felsenmeer), Benelux (Weris), France (Carnac, Lascaux, Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc), Italy (La Spezia), all the Malta Temples (e.g. Tarxien and the Hypogeum), Scandinavia (Tanum), as well as individual sites in the Baltic, Russia, the Near East, the Far East (China - the Great Wall, and Japan - e.g. Asuka, Kanayama), Africa (e.g. the Central African Republic), Central and South America (Tikal), Oceania (Hawaii), the continental USA (Cahokia, Miami Circle) and Canada (the Peterborough Petroglyphs). Many of these sites are examined and deciphered in great detail showing a site such as the Peterborough Petroglyphs in Canada, for example, to be an ancient map of the heavens and the Ki'i Petroglyphs on the island of Hawaii to be an ancient map of the world. The intent of the author is not so much to convince the reader of the correctness of his analysis, but rather to urge the reader to look at ancient sites and stones differently than before and, for example, to examine old vacation photographs of Stonehenge or similar sites, and see the figures carved on the stones. As far as the interpretation of the megaliths is concerned, there is no question that this is the way of the future.

Book Description

An eminent pioneer of modern protein chemistry looks back on six decades in biochemical research and education to advance stimulating thoughts about science--how it is practiced, how it is explained, and how its history is written. Taking the title of his book from Robert Boyle's classic, The Sceptical Chymist (1661), and Joseph Needham's The Sceptical Biologist (1929), Joseph Fruton brings his own skeptical vision to bear on how chemistry and biology interact to describe living systems.

Scientists, philosophers, historians, and sociologists will seize upon the questions Fruton raises: What is the nature of the tension between the chemical and the biological sciences? What are the roots and future direction of molecular biology? What is the proper place of expert scientists in the historiography of science? How does the "scientific method" really work in practice? These and many other topics are fair game for this author's wise critiques. In a stimulating final chapter, Fruton analyzes the evolution of key terms and symbols--the conceptual underpinnings used in the biochemical literature.

Book Description

A citizens' guide to what's wrong with the nation's radical federal education legislation-and a passionate call for change The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) has become the most fiercely debated education issue of this election year, and it will be at the center of the national conversation about schools for the foreseeable future. NCLB, signed into law in 2002, purports to improve public schools-and especially the way they serve poor children-by enforcing a system of standards and accountability through high-stakes testing and sanctions. It is radically affecting the life of schools around the country. Many Children Left Behind is a devastating brief against NCLB. Far from improving public schools and increasing the ability of the system to serve poor and minority children, the authors argue, the law is doing exactly the opposite. Here some of our most prominent, respected voices in education-including Deborah Meier, Alfie Kohn, and Theodore R. Sizer-come together to show us how, point by point, NCLB undermines the things it claims to improve: - How NCLB punishes rather than helps poor and minority kids and their schools - How NCLB helps further an agenda of privatization and an attack on public schools - How the focus on testing and test preparation dumbs down classrooms - How we need alternatives to construing the idea of accountability in terms of test scores and sanctions. Educators and parents around the country are feeling the harshly counterproductive effects of NCLB. This book is an essential guide to understanding what's wrong and where we should go from here.

A must read.......2007-08-05

This is a must read for anyone who is impacted by public education in this country - parents, educators, businesspeople. We need to get angry about the No Child Left Behind Act and this book will get anyone who reads it angry. It is a series of well written essays by educators and it does an excellent job of exposing the damaging nuances of this Act that are not widely broadcast. If the concept of public education is important to you, read this book.

Not Perfect, But Essential Reading.......2006-11-18

As a mother of an elementary school-age child as well as one of the decisionmakers for her school, I see firsthand the damage done by No Child Left Behind. This book, while not perfect, is a clarion call for those who have not woken up from the fever-dream that hatched this onerous legislation that was designed to dismantle the public school system in the US.

Every fact in this book is corraborated by scholarship. It details why the "Texas Miracle" was overrated PR at best--and a total fabrication at worst. After reading this book, I was not surprised by the intent of NCLB. With my experience and involvement with a local elementary school which predominately teaches English Learners, I have seen the truth behind what this book presents. It is not propaganda, as some have charged. Rather, it is a frightening reality that I have seen for myself.

If you are a knee-jerk follower of FOX News, then read this book at your ideological peril. However, if you approach it with an open mind, your life will never be the same again.

Brainwashing propaganda but well edited.......2006-09-14

This is a classic circle jerk book that consolidates a number of articles from educators and educational researchers who talk about the same thing, and cite each other or similar data and research. The authors do write well, so I gave it two stars. But it has under/overtones of the same old myths in erroneous educational ideology that is actually the malaise killing our educational system - dump more money into schools; teachers are underpaid and overworked; high stakes standardized testing is bad. Folks might be well advised to pick up a copy of Jay P. Greene's "Educational Myths" to run a little de-tox on the stuff they read here.

Ditch the NCLB Act in the Dust!.......2006-05-31

In the book the author says:

"We continue to confuse test scores with quality schooling, even though there is no evidence that high scores on these tests predict anything about a child's success in life after school." It would have been better if she explained why. Some reasons why are that students cheat, or that they will memorize answers, but that the answers they memorize are not always beneficial (depending on what they memorized and if they can find no use for it.)

This book thoroughly exposes the NCLB Act as garbage. I now see the NCLB as the educational version of the U.S. Government's land grabs. They are trying to have greater control over the public schools of America, and not to make them better I'm sure.

An Interesting Book.......2006-05-09

This is a very interesting book with some great opinions of the No Child Left Behind Act. I feel that the authors really found the holes in the education act and in the way in which states are being held accountable for their schools performances. I found some of the information to be shocking because it seems as though the public should know all of the facts but they do not have any idea. I also really appreciated the fact that with each critique of the act, the authors offered up some alternative solutions that might work better. I am not sure if these solutions will ever be seen through but they were all really nice ideas.
I will say that this book was extremely one sided and it was difficult to read without getting a chip on my shoulder. I ended up having to go and find more information about both sides of the arguement so I could make a more educated decision on my thoughts about the act. As a future teacher my life is directly influenced by this act so I need to make sure I know all of the facts before I start being someone within the system of education.
