Learning Medical Billing.......2003-03-29

This book is ... very good for new medical billers. It is thorough and very good. Only drawback is the disk in the back needs certain Medisoft software to make it work. It is misleading to have the disk and not be able to use it unless you have the software .... Otherwise if you just want to read through it or take classes you will spend lots of time in the computer lab to get the disk to work. The book is very good and very thorough so I gave it 4 stars.

Definitely a "must" for beginning medical billers.......1999-06-30

I am currently using this book in my medical billing course and I was amazed at how thorough the book was and how easy it is to apply your knowledge when doing the exercises in the book. The only drawback was that the student data disk at the back of the book will not work unless you have a working copy of the Medisoft program installed on your computer. The book was well written and in logical order of how one would go about filing a medical claim.

A useful introduction to the planet Jupiter.......2005-01-07

This book is a useful overview of what we know about Jupiter. Anyone interested in Jupiter will find it readable. And some of the information will appeal to specialists as well.

An introduction gives a short history of observations of the planet, including the robotic missions of Pioneer and Voyager. After that, there is a chapter on Jupiter's atmosphere and another on the famous Red Spot. Beebe then tells about the problems in modeling the interior of the rapidly rotating Jupiter. And we find out more about modeling of the upper atmosphere.

I was intrigued by the part about spectrographic measurements of the hydrogen and helium in Jupiter's atmosphere. You see, spectrographic analysis gave a mass ratio of 21% to 22% of Helium in the Jovian atmosphere. But Beebe tells us that the Galileo Probe in situ observation was more like 25% Helium. That is actually important. It turns out that a very straightforward calculation of Big Bang nucleosynthesis predicts a minimum of 23% to 24% primordial Helium in the universe. The percentage of Helium in Jupiter ought to be a little higher than the primordial one. So it could be that the Big Bang calculation of 23% to 24% is indeed right on the money. On top of that, as Beebe points out, the Probe results could confirm that there is enough mixing in the upper Jovian atmosphere to prevent much Helium from separating out and falling to lower elevations.

Beebe continues with a description of Jupiter's satellites and ring. By the way, I would like to point out that many more satellites of Jupiter have been discovered since her book was written. Those discovered in 2000 include Kalyke, Harpalyke, Isonoe, Taygete, Themisto, Praxidike, and Magaclite. Those discovered in 2001 include Aitne, Hermippe, Eurydome, Thyone, Autonoe, and Euanthe. Several more were discovered in each of those two years. By early 2004, a total of 63 satellites of Jupiter had been found.

The author then briefly describes the Jovian magnetosphere. And she concludes by discussing the Shoemaker-Levy comet collisions with Jupiter and the results from the Galileo Probe.

I recommend this book.

This book is worthless!.......1999-06-03

This book is so full of errors and mistakes that it ends up being more of a waste of time than anything else. In addition, the writing style is amateurish - almost to the point of being funny. You get the impression that the author was simply transcribing Sky&Telescope rather than thinking through what she was actually trying to say.

Book Description

Since the first date of publication of this book in 1991, the subject of phosphors and luminescence has assumed even more importance in the overall scheme of technological development. Many new types of displays have appeared which depend upon phosphors in their operation. Some of these were pure conjecture in 1991 but are a reality in 2004. Descriptions have been included of the newer (as well as the older) types of displays in this edition along with an annotated portrait of the phosphors used in each category. Many of these new light sources promise to displace and make obsolete our current light sources, such as incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps and the ubiquitous colour Cathode Ray Tube now used in TV and computer monitors.

The importance of solid state science are summarized in the introductory chapters of this edition, and many of the chapters have been completely rewritten or revised.
Each chapter has a special contribution to make in the overall understanding of the solid state science of phosphors and luminescence.

- Introduces the reader to the science and art of preparing inorganic luminescent materials.
- Describes how and why luminescent materials exhibit such specific intrinsic properties.
- Describes the science of the solid state and presents the exact formulas and conditions required to make all of the phosphors known at that time.

This first United States paperback of By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept comes after huge worldwide sales of the novel of faith, romance, miracles, and the importance of following the heart's true path. The inspirational tale follows Pilar, a young woman from the Spanish countryside who, sparked by the teachings of a now-mysterious man she has known and loved since childhood, leaves her graduate studies and embarks on a spiritual pilgrimage through the Pyrenees Mountains and reevaluates her life and her future. Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho, author of the international bestseller The Alchemist, is considered to be one of the most widely-read Latin American writers in the world.

Book Description

By bestselling author and international sensation Paulo Coelho, a poetic and transcendent story that reflects the mysteries of love and life.

Rarely does an adolescent love reach its full potential. What happens when, after eleven years, two lovers come together again? Pilar has become an independent and strong young woman. Her childhood friend has become a handsome spiritual leader. She has learned to bury her feelings, while he has turned to religion as a refuge from his inner conflicts.

Together they embark on a journey that is initially fraught with difficulties, as blame and resentment resurface after years of being hidden. But by the River Piedra, in a small village in the French Pyrenees, they discuss many of life's big questions and re–evaluate their own special relationship.

LOVE IT!.......2007-09-17

I have this book since I am 16 years old. I've read it so many times and it always get me emotional... No matter what book they release, this is my FAVORITE BOOK EVER!

Poetic, Proseic, Imaginative, Spell Binding.......2007-09-04

Pilar grows-up becoming a lovely, strong independent woman! Her childhood friend has become some more handsome, charismatic spiritual leader, making use of his religion as a refuge from his raging inner conflicts. He is said to be one who is even able to heal persons!

This lovely crafted story begins like a poetic narrative until Pilar is introduced to the gripping surprise of her lover having become a Seminarian. His whole life has been turned into an adventure shaped by his studies and new committment! When the italicised poetry becomes more narrative, the story moves more quickly and has numerous fascinating twists and turns. "It's risky falling in love." Their love simply moves gradually into new adventures and amzing enw pictures of their interesting culture!

Although I had read early on THE ALCHEMIST by Coelho, this story grew more lovely and compelling the more I read. It is well-worth discovery as another winner by Paulo Coelho. In-spite of the reviews making far too much of its strong religion that Spanish flavor of Cathoicism is totally tempered by pictures of beautiful love-making!

As I discovered after reading other stories of Authur Golden, Memoirs Of A GEISHA and Rosamunde Pilcher, The Shell Seekers this story seemed to stay with me longer to become another model of poetic beauty and pictures an eternal love spanning this world and the one of the Great-Not-Yet! Gratefully from Retired Chaplain Fred W Hood

Book review.......2007-08-28

Excentlant book, a pretty fast read with lots of meaning.
I recomment Paulo Coelho as a writer one of my favourits

Wonderful!.......2007-06-09

I have been slowly finding time to read this book between grad school and work. Each time I begin I whish to have time to just sit and enjoy it. Today was that day as I awaited my tires to be mounted I sat in the sun and read this wonderful story. I saw so much of my own life reflected in the emotions, very well written and inspiring. I am passing it on to my mother so that she too can benifit from this work of art.
With all the praise why a 4 star rating? Well, although I truly love this story I was conflicted over some parts that just seemed to loose me. I read and reread certain passages just to get what happened. And still I found myself wondering too much with some odd unresolved feelings.
I loved the story I loved the dedication to the concepts of "LOVE and LOYALTY."
I recommend this book to everyone. As for me on to the next of his books...

Good Food for Thought.......2007-03-28

I read this book after reading Coelho's, The Alchemist. It is not as rich a story as The Alchemist but still worth reading. Coelho excels at writing his novels from a philosophical perspective. The two main characters have major life decisions to make and he does a fabulous job of taking the reader through the character's philosophical reasoning as to why they make the decisions they make. I truly enjoyed this book and plan to read more of Coelho's work.
