Preparation Books

Many administrations in history didn't know much. This current administration doesn't SUSPECT much. This is a sad record of malfeasance.

I purchased this product for Home Health Aide Inservice training. This is a super product. The CD contains all the information contained in the book. I was able to use the word format and paste into power point to make slides to use for training. It contains the tests also. I like that everything is on the CD and you don't have to copy anything from the book. The only thing I had to do was tweak the outline a little bit and add how much time I was going to spend on each section (Easy to do since its all electronic). Don't be decieved by the small amount of pages in the book, this is a full 24 hours of training! Karin RN, BSN, PHN

Recommended for physicians, physician-assistants, nurses and paramedical workers

a very useful book, unless I think it is. They offer you a huge amount of exercises if you are the type of person who like to do a lot to get familiar with SAT. But if you just want to get some ideas, tricks, this wont' be an idea study guide for you.

I noticed that there is no information on this book, though it could help many students, so here is the info listed on the Blue Poppy Press website:

"This workbook is for students who are preparing for the NCCAOM Board exams and for licensed practitioners who wish to bone up on both point location and theory. All questions are written in Board Exam format and there are many questions using illustrations to test the reader's visual knowledge of point location as well.

Fred Jennes, M.Ed., L.Ac., Dipl.Ac. & C.H., received his B.A. and M.Ad. from Duke Univeristy. He has had wide experience in both teaching and curriculum design in various areas of higher education. He has also worked as a researcher and systems analyst at Duke Univeristy Medical Center. Since completing his training in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, Fred has served on the governing board of the Acupuncture Association of Colorado, is currently a site visitor for the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM), and is both a faculty member and advisory board member of Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Denver, CO."

Very surprised that this book is not reviewed much. Has great case-based questions for a majority of the tested topics with detailed and valuable answers that help to distinguish between even the most apparently similar diagnosis. It is question and answer based USMLE Step 2 review at its very best. Because of this book, I passed Step 2 after an initial unsuccessful try using other really dry, boring review books that just took up space on my bookshelf. Keep it simple, this book is all you need for Step 2. Thanks a bunch to Dr. Alario and the whole cast for having written such an exceptional review book.

This is a fascinating CD with CT images in as low as 2mm slices of the entire body broken down into regions. A great tool in the study of anatomy!

I have bought some DVDs about human anatomy, only this one presented is a real human body. It's helpful for a learner who wants to see the real human organs. If this DVD could have English subtitle that would be perfect.

This compact guide offers test taking techniques, essential math, science, English, and writing. The step-by-step procedures discussed are clear and easy to understand. The most exciting aspect of this book is the tear out cram sheet. This cram sheet has the most frequently tested material in a effective, concise and clearly explained. The Exam Alerts offer information about the test that you won't want to miss.

If you are looking for a condensed version of test prep information this is the guide for you. The explanations are written by educators with years of experience in tutoring for the ACT exam. With over 3 million copies of this book sold, I'm not the only one that believes that using this study tool will increase your score.

Reviewing for Real Page Turners

Seldom does a book appear that touches every aspect of what writers want and need to know about the art and business of getting published. But Sheri Williams' "An Agent's Point of View" does it all . . . and more. What a resourceful and highly informative work it is! As a published author and professor of writing, I have scoured book after book for the information Ms. Williams' offers in her valuable guide on a wide range of writing topics, from creating queries, formatting manuscripts, designing proposals, right down to the etiquette and ethics of agent-writer relationships. It's all here! Her writing is so smooth, her information is presented in an easy-to-read manner, and her words are so valuable that I wish I had this book before I began my journey to becoming a 14-book published author and critiquer of hundreds and hundreds of manuscripts. Take it from me - from someone who knows, from someone who has sweated through query and proposal writing, from someone who has received enough rejections to wallpaper her entire home -- that this is a must-have book for anyone who is tackling the challenge of writing. Ms. Williams has the nuts and bolts down pat, and gives it all in a most entertaining and understandable manner. It's a great job all around by an excellent writer!
