Churchill Books

Book is of very high quality with relevent interseting information. It's easy to read from a students perspectivem, a practitioner's perspective or even a outsider's perspective. Great Diagrams included, a very useful book. I do recommend it.

Clinical Application of Neuromuscular Techniques is an alternative to Travell's Trigger Point Manual if you do not do TP injections. It has great pictures, well explained treatment techniques (if you are up to date with your anatomy and medical terms) and lots of references. The disadvantage are typos (the editor must have had a bad day and was unable to write the German words for the references right, but also some English words are off!) Parts of the text are repeated in the book twice, what I thought is unnecessary and only adds to the number of pages but not the quality of content.

I have a very mixed reaction to this book. There are some very lovely rooms and objects, but for the most part there is nothing out of the ordinary here (with the exception of marvelous ironwork fence bits). Some interiors could be swapped out from one house to another without jarring the eye. Too much designer influence and not enough passion and eccentricity.

I'm a bit biased since our home is featured in the book, but Christine has put together a great design source that focuses on unusual collections. The photos by her husband are luscious and artistic, putting all the objects in their most glamourous light. Her sense of style and design comes through in the way she grouped items and focused the collections, and the text is thoughtful and tells some interesting stories. If you're the type who likes flea markets and antiquing for the unusual find, this book is a must. If you're contemplating starting a collection, you need this too. If you're a designer stuck in a rut of programmed newness, this book will help loosen your style and inspire you.

I was appalled at the SIZE of this book for the price. It is no larger than a READERS DIGEST when you receive it, yet is costs nearly $30.00. For the number of pages, it shouldn't be priced at more than $15.00.
It does have great photographs however, and it is full of good information, but the price is way too high for the amount of pages that contain relevant information... which is NOT 140 as stated...it is actually 128 pages of read; and 12 pages of index. Keeping the book anyway, but still feel ripped off...and if anyone has anything derogatory to say about my comments, don't bother. I won't be reading it, so shut up.

Great little handbook with excellent photos. Easy to keep with you for references. Well written, easy to read. Great forensic reference book.

Excellent introduction to chiropractic. Suitable for first year chiropractic students, or those considering chiropractic as a career.

Good approach to understanding of contemporary chiropactic trends! Hope to have some more books studing about current chiropractic demends.

This is a good basic pathology book with good black and white photos. The strength of this book is that all of the features are illustrated with pointers to the significant feature. The drawbacks are that the photomicrographs are not in color and the text is not all encompassing. Some of the newer immunohistochemical staining techniques are not fully explained.

This book fills a special niche in the field of dermatopathology texts. Many excellent texts are available unfortunately the average student or resident cannot afford to buy color illustrated large volume texts. This selection is affordable and well designed to teach dermatopathology to the pathology resident, dermatology resident or interested student. The illustrations are clear and easy to follow with the accompanying arrows. While the range of entities discussed is not encyclopedic the full range of expected entities are present. Overall a good value and useful book for someone just introduced to the field.

This is a great book to have with you in the dissection lab for Gross Anatomy. It shows you very clearly how to cut your cadaver to see everything that you need to. I used this book for my Gross Anatomy course and was able to successfully dissect everything I needed to and did very well in my laboratory exams and in the course overall. It has drawings of everything you are looking for as you dissect, and is very well organized by body sections.

Despite what the previous poster said about explanations, I thought the explanations were very good for what you needed to know while in the lab. For example, muscles were explained based on where they connected and what they were innervated by, helping you to look for relivent nerves and origin points. But, understand that if you are dissecting, you should know more about the structures before you come into lab (trying to read this as you are dissecting won't help you much, but I doubt any one would in that circumstance).

This book is by no means the only book you'll need for Gross Anatomy if you are a medical student, but if you are a medical student (one that really wants to be a doctor, and a good one at that) you'll already know that. This book works very well in conjunction with Grey's Anatomy for Students as well as an atlas of your choice (Rohens and Netters are my personal favorites). That's how the authors of this book intend it to be used - they were my instructors at Medical School and that's how they told us to study.

If you need an anatomy atlas, I would suggest Netter's. If you need an anatomy book, buy Gray's. If you need a guide to help you as you are physically dissecting in a lab and are given a choice, buy this one!

Let me start by saying this is not the best book to pick if you want to learn anatomy - it is not meant to. This is, in my opinion, a companion book for Gray's or any other book, and it guides you through an authopsy not teaching you human anatomy.

It is rather good in that, but the fact that it doesn't explains things very much withdraw it a star, though I understand that if it did it would be much larger and not very practical.

I take it the other star because of its bad quality paper. I mean, how is that supposed to hold on an authopsy room, with all the water and blood? It should be printed on better paper.

This is not an essential book, but nice to know what you are doing when seeing your first authopsies. If you have the time to read it and have no other "not essential but nice" books in your list, buy it,

This book was a little too basic. I wish it had more info on certain conditions. Good general descriptions, but definately need more information.

The anatomy and correlated physical examination of the hand is easy to be read and memorized. A good buy for beginners interested in hand surgery. The essence of hand surgery examination and diagnosis could be mastered in one day.

This is a book which I value tremendously. Rarely are books so well written as this; and whatever Churchill wrote in 1897 in this account still holds very much true, if not more so, for the context of this narrative. Were I to write an account on this subject today, it would hardly differ from Churchill's. His opinions are still very much valid, and those who value truthful methods of analysis are well aware of this. This book must not be spurned by experts. Given the nature of the current overall situation prevailing in this region and its effect on the rest of the world, this book becomes more important than ever as a reference primer.

Warning!! The Edition of this book published by Alan Rodgers Books/Aegyptian Press has NO MAPS!!! I strongly recommend that you do not buy that edition. I am sure sorry I did. I wish I could recommend an edition that I know does have maps, but from the information available on their web pages I can't tell if they do or not. I just went and took a look on the web and the original edition had 6 maps. Churchill obviously assumed in the text that maps were going to be available to refer to. It is VERY DIFFICULT to figure out what was going on during the campaign without them.

I have over twenty general ophthalmology texts in my personal library and this one caught my eye in the book shop due to it's kaleidoscopic trippy cover. The content, illustrations and general "feel" of the book are exceptional. Mr Bowling clearly commands encyclopedic knowledge of eye disease, and a vast amount of research was undertaken to make the book fully up to date and prevent it from "getting stale". I firmly urge anyone in the field of ophthalmology to purchase this tome, and even lay-people; after-all, there are almost twice as many eyes as there are human beings on earth.

This book is being used in a PA program at a university. Students requested the book after reviewing different publications to be used as texts. It is concise, facutally illustrated, and easy to understand.

I wrote, but later deleted, a five-star review of this book. I still want to love it, I still own my copy, and I still find it a valuable book.

However, AIM (among others) insists Mr. Churchill is not a Native American, and that in presenting himself as such he is occupying a professorial slot a real Native could have. If he's not Native, the title of the book assumes a staggering amount of irony.

I don't have any way of knowing whether he's Native or not; frankly, I don't believe it's up to me or the US government (via "blood quanta" laws and enrollment cards) to decide that. It's up to the Native community, and a major part of it seems to be disowning him, particularly after his statement about 9-11.

Do I still recommend this book? With the caveats above, yes. I know a lot of white "Indian on the inside/in a past life" types who could benefit from reading it, and it covers its topic well. But since the author may be speaking for people he has no right to represent, I hesitate to recommend it so heartily as I did before.

this amazing book starts off by first defining the rules of genocide as written up as a global pact which took the US 50 years to ratify, at which point, they continued to find various loopholes and excuses to negate the pact, much like they do now with the geneva conventions, and kyoto clean air act. the us was slaughtering native americans even while condemning nazi germany of similar acts abroad. after read numerous essays and books from churchill, the parallel between us and german tactics is very evident. anyone who is a humanitarian will take these passionate accounts by mr churchill to heart to realize that systematic genocide goes well beyond mass murders (they have already done that in years past, the times are calling for a modernistic approach to genocide...i.e. sterilization of females, assimilating of indigenious 'nations').
