Dr. Uthman presents the physiology of anemia (and its different types) in a straightforward manner. As he mentions in the book, it is written for someone with the equivalent of a high school level of biology. Dr. Uthman takes the reader step-by-step through the process - like a chef teaching someone a recipe. Starting from general discussion on anemia to how it is clinically diagnosed and even how blood tests are performed! Anyone who needs to know about anemia should read this book. The book can also be picked up and used as a reference. The Table of Contents describe quite clearly where to find specific topics.

I came to this book as it was recommended to me by a friend. I am not usually a fan of medical work, but I found this book to be entrhalling. The clarity and luminity in which Dr. Lieberman explains the many facets of this illness is enlightening. I was especially impressed that even though I had no real background in this field I was easily able to understand the concepts and ideas put forth. Dr. Lieberman is a medical genius who deserves far more recognition across the world, and not just in the medical field. I recommend this book to anyone who appreciates works of intelligence, clarity and thoughtfulness.

Dr. Langdon has written an extremely informative book. With the detail of a medical expert and scientist Dr. Langdon explains to the reader the various aspects of modern cosmetic laser procedures and laser technology. I found this book clearly written, easy to read and walked away with a deeper understanding then I expected.

I recommend this book to anybody that is interested in a better insight into cosmetic laser procedures and the options available.

... and a handy reference for CF patients and their families.

Shines a light on a vast subject. Offers clarity with its clear writing style.

This book is well written and helpful to really understand the science behind MS. It has the latest research facts and logically examines the complex nature of the disease. Dr. Stauffer obviously knows her stuff and the fact that a sibling of hers faces this illness surely brings a fresh perspective to the work. I highly reccomend this work to any who want to really understand MS and the best medicine available to combat it.

Research shows that simulations increase learning and retention, besides research skills. U.S. history and political science teachers will find the simulation approach very rewarding for their students. Appropriate from grade 10 through second year college.

I loved this book. Of course being an Ole Miss graduate and knowing the author helped, but I couldn't put it down. The early history of the university is especially well done. It includes as a bonus an overview of higher education and its struggles in all the State's colleges. Dr. Sansing dispells the wide-spread idea that Governor Bilbo caused the university to lose accreditation by his political hiring and firing; his activity actually was objective and positive for the most part. The section on the Meredith crisis and resulting riots (and resulting and still lingering negative public image) was also well reported and written. I was on campus that Sunday afternoon and night (desperately trying to get off), and the book gives an accurate and fair representation of that event. The last part of the book, though not as interesting as the first, leaves a record of vastly improved racial relations and optimism for the future. The author, an early and consistent advocate for the "universal brotherhood of man" has played a significant role in that progress.

I love the blunt honesty of the student voices in this guide. It really makes you feel like you're talking directly to a student instead of reading something wholly technical. There are sections on everything from diversity to nightlife, to academics of course. Everyone thinking about University of Missouri should get this Prowler book.
