Book Description

Quick, streamlined, and easy-to-use, Medical Terminology: A Short Course shows how to decipher the meanings of medical terms by breaking them down into smaller word parts. Chabner's proven method introduces words in the context of human anatomy, physiology and pathology so concepts are easier to grasp, while instilling the basics of suffixes, prefixes, and root words essential to developing a working medical vocabulary. Extensive hands-on practice, repetition, and case studies encourage students to learn by doing - writing terms, labeling diagrams, and completing exercises and review sheets. The book's selective content provides just the right amount of material for short medical terminology courses.

Medical Terminology.......2007-01-05

This book is concise and to the point. It came well packaged and it came on time.

Don't waste your money.......2006-04-10

I am taking a medical terminology class at the vo-tech school in my area. The entire class and the instructor are very disappointed in this book because it is full of errors. For people who are new to medical terminology and have no medical backgrounds this book is very confusing at times and I wonder if I am really learning the correct terms. The instructor has already said that she is going to buy new books for her next class.

Rudimentary, riddled with errors.......2005-09-20

I went through this book page by page as part of a medical transcription course. Having somewhat of a medical background, I found this book to be very rudimentary. I was hoping to get a more thorough and detailed knowledge of medical terminology. In the chapter relating to my particular field, there were words that I suppose you could use, based on the root words and prefixes/suffixes, but were just ridiculous...never actually used in the field. This book is also riddled with errors, particularly in the review exercises. It looks to me as though no one edited this book. I am disappointed that I spent so much money for such shoddy work. I gave it two stars instead of one because the "programmed learning" format seems to work well.

Great Book for Anatomy Lab.......2005-09-08

This book was used in my first year of medical school in Anatomy lab. It was helpful with origin and insertion of the muscles. Also it talked about innervation and blood supply. It gave pretty accurate descriptions of the dissections which were involved.

Book Description

The 12th Topical Conference on Atomic Processes in Plasmas continued a biennial series begun in 1977 to provide a forum for researchers involved in areas of overlap between atomic and plasma physics. This interdisciplinary area is essential to progress in basic and applied research in both atomic and plasma physics. The papers in this proceedings volume cover topics in atomic and molecular processes in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas, atomic theory and experiment, atomic data compilation and databases, plasma atomic kinetics, X-ray sources and lasers, inertially and magnetically confined plasmas, z-pinch plasmas, atomic processes in dense plasmas, industrial plasmas, line profiles, and spectroscopic plasma diagnostics.

Book Description

The Night Watch series has caused a sensation never before seen in Russia -- its popularity is frenzied and unprecedented, and driven by a truly great, epic story. In 2005 Fox Searchlight announced it had acquired the Russian film adaptation for an American release. Interest in the books here is now set to reach a fever pitch.

Set in modern day Moscow, Night Watch is a world as elaborate and imaginative as Tolkien or the best Asimov. Living among us are the "Others," an ancient race of humans with supernatural powers who swear allegiance to either the Dark or the Light. A thousand-year treaty has maintained the balance of power, and the two sides coexist in an uneasy truce. But an ancient prophecy decrees that one supreme "Other" will rise up and tip the balance, plunging the world into a catastrophic war between the Dark and the Light. When a young boy with extraordinary powers emerges, fulfilling the first half of the prophecy, will the forces of the Light be able to keep the Dark from corrupting the boy and destroying the world?

An extraordinary translation from the Russian by noted translator Andrew Bromfield, this first English language edition of Night Watch is a chilling, engrossing read certain to reward those waiting in anticipation of its arrival.

Innovative and refreshing.......2007-10-03

First, a review for those that want to take the book after watching the movie(s): do it. If you liked the movies, you'll probably like the book even more - the narration is much more coherent, the events are much less chaotic and the character motivations seem better sketched.

Now, a general review: this book is generally put in the fantasy genre. That means many readers might reach for this book expecting some sort of "Harry Potter in Moscow", as I've read in one of the reviews here. This is NOT it. The fantasy setting here is more of a narrative device than a real dedicated setting. For those of you that have read Bulgakov's "Master and Margerita", you'll come to recognize the device quite clearly - it's virtually the same feel, but in recent-day Moscow instead of the early communist-times one.

Lukyanenko has done something quite impressive - he's written a book about a typical Russian person, who seems special to the reader because of his involvement in the epic struggle between Light and Dark. But this is just a ruse - the struggle is nothing but epic, it is more alegorical then literal. One of the reviews here was very critical on the book, saying that the action didn't progress anywhere, that all of our hero's deeds turned out to have changed nothing in the greater view of things. This is not a mistake by the author, it's the intended effect. That's exactly what the book is supposed to present.

Don't be fooled - this is not yet another fantasy novel, not an epic fantasy one, nor a typical urban fantasy one. This is not a fantasy novel at all. This is a book about normal people, everyday choices, everyday lives. It just seems much more interesting when presented in an imaginative fantasy setting. And it is this combination of excellent worldbuilding and great narration that gets this book five stars.

enraptured.......2007-09-21

i picked up this book and couldnt put it down again! a most amazing author and story. he manages to write an unsaid plot and leave a silent ending that is like and explosion of possibity threads in a certain direction. a true inspiration.

Liked it!.......2007-09-15

Entertaining, engaging vampire novel from Russia, first of three. Definitely more comprehensible than the film! I liked this book- Anton, the narrator, is sympathetic and likable and I enjoyed following his adventures in the intrigue-filled world of vampire-Moscow. As someone who does not read a lot of scifi or vampire novels I appreciated that it wasn't very violent

Fantastic and Different.......2007-09-13

The two things that worked the best for me when reading this novel were:

1) Rather than a cliche' Battle between good and evil, this is about a precarious truce between the two and how both sides fight to maintain that truce while still trying to get ahead.

2) The setting of modern Moscow as the backdrop to this epic. The author skillfully paints the setting and makes Moscow almost a character on its own. For someone who has never read a foreign book, this made the already great storyline fantastic and made me feel familiar with a city that's 1000s of miles away simply because the author writes about it like its his own backyard, not as if he's a tourist. That works wonders for the credibility of the story.

I do not like that it is called a horror. While werewolves and vampires might be classic pieces of the horror genre, this is most definitely a modern fantasy epic. Think Mage the Ascension more than Bram Stroker and you've got the idea.

I recommend this book for fantasy readers like myself who don't read much anymore and really want to try something that's familiar yet new. I look forward to reading the entire series!

Very Good Book.......2007-09-13

A very interesting and creative book. It's not a typical vampire , werewolves, and witches type book. It has more of a story with a actual premise and it's a quick read.

Dogs on board ship is a nuisance, said the night-watchman, gazing fiercely at the vociferous mongrel that had chased him from the deck of the Henry William; "the skipper asks me to keep an eye on the ship, and then leaves a thing like that down in the cabin."
