Preparation Books

This is a great book for anyone who needs to get a good understanding of the physiological basis for various clinical disorders. The author has described the various topics in great detail, and has put more stress on getting the concepts right than anything else. One thing is worth mentioning though, that is, before reading this book, it is advisable to review physiology, biochem, and general pathology (use some brief reviews e.g., Lippincott's. etc.).

I have looked everywhere for materials to help me teach my 11th graders the novels that are required, but still meet the content standards for Florida. Everything from the vocabulary activities to the post-reading activites are great. I would recommend this guide to all teachers--much better than Teacher Created Materials.

Good book. Audio CDs included and CD Rom as well, for the IBT part.
Worth the price

Though there are English condensations of the Mahabharata (William Buck's is good), this series seems to be the only full-length English version accessible to and usable by general readers. It is being produced by and for scholars, with Sanskrit transliteration on each facing page, but the apparatus is helpful even for nonspecialists.

This volume is especially valuable as containing the Bhagavad Gita, often published separately but here appearing in its original dramatic and mythic context.

Working in Drug Safety for the past five years, I have waited for a book specific to the field. Previous understanding and knowledge was reduced to searching the CFR, reading ICH regulations, memorizing company SOP's, attending training presentations, etc. The book brings all the scattered pieces of information and regulations into a cohesive organization that allows it to be used as a comprehensive read or as a reference for drug safety information.

If read from chapter to chapter, the reader can bridge missing information, clarify ambiguous areas, and further understand Drug Safety. If used as a reference, all the pertinent facets of drug safety are presented, and appropriately indexed by concepts, which facilitates finding certain information or resource.

I'm pleased that someone took the initiative to write a long overdue drug safety book. I have already personally recommended to various colleagues, and I recommend it for other current or future professionals who want to improve their working practices in the field.

Great article in CHIEF EXECUTIVE Magazine about how a partnership was formed between a U.S. Company and a Russian entrepreneur to introduce a line of U.S. cosmetics to the newly formed Republic of Russia just after the breakup of the Soviet Union. Worthwhile reading on how to develop these kinds of relationships and alliances.

My daughter used this book to prepare for the AP and felt that it was excellent, especially for the writing part of the exam. She thought the book was logical in its flow, and liked that they gave example essays and explained why each essay was good, poor, or mediocre. This helped her understand how they score the exam.

While she did not need the advice on the multiple choice, the advice provided was sound and complete. She said the sample problems were just like on the exam. The book explains "literary terms", but does not have a vocab list. It advocates that if your teacher is not giving you vocab lists, you need to get some. She thought they may have pointed you to a web site but couldn't remember for sure, since she had good vocab lists from her teacher.

My daughter had a very good, demanding teacher, but felt that this book gave her additional help. She scored a 5 on the exam.

this book was easy to understand and read, and it goes into detail about the things that one needs to study for a test, I would advise anyone who needs this book to get it before that big test that's coming up you will not be sorry.

The free response and open essay guides in this book are most informative and give plenty of opportunity for practice. My niece has shared it with her class.

Purchased this book for my brother. I browsed through it before sending it off to him. The book seemed as though it could help anyone understand what was needed to pass the GED. It gave you the outline of how the test is given, and what is needed to pass. It also goes through each subject in an extensive review. However, the book doesn't work unless you pick it up and actually study it. You can't pass if you don't read it. That was my brother's problem. Also, if you have problems with reading, it might be best if you took the GED review with an adult ed school or community college. Some of the chapters can be quite confusing if you don't have a good grasp on reading.
