Churchill Books

Although this is a non-fiction book, it was very helpful in understanding the disease. Another book that does even a better job of this is the ficitonal novel, Stolen Moments by Barbara Jeanne Fisher . ..Ms Fisher has lupus and wrote this book with her heart! A fantastic read/ edited by her lupus specialist. ..It is enertaining, and captures every emotion known to men and women. And excellent book, meant to be shared. For sure you will love it.

I have found this book excellent to use. It is a pretty compact book covering most areas of emergency medicine in less than 1000 pages. The only downside is that sometimes due to this the finer details are missing.... but i guess that's what those big thick reference texts are for. Also it's written by members of the Australian College of Emergency Medicine so it's great for studying for ACEM exams.

It is a great book to have for learning the principals of interventional radiology. I have read since I started my fellowship last year. Dyet's Textbook of endovascular procedures is a complete solution to getting up to most daily interventions,and also including recent procedures, like carotid angioplasty and stenting and uterine fibroids embolization.

At first I was a bit disappointed when I received this book. But after actually reading it I feel it is probably the only reference that provides this information. This book outlines acupuncture for the lay person and perhaps the Western trained health care professional. In this aim, it presents acupuncture in both an ancient perspective and a modern Western Scientific perspective. Acupuncture practitioners who are involved in research or are always challenged by Western trained doctors will find this helpful. Also those considering study or treatment of acupuncture should read this book.

When you are knee deep in slides and your eyes are too tired to look through your microscope, Wheater's Atlas will be your lifeboat. Use it and learn all you need to know. I can't say enough good things about this book. Viva Wheater!

The pictures are great and the summary history is OK for this nice little read about one of the great leaders of the 20th Century. Humes met Churchill three times and knew many of his advisers, so who better to write a summary history of this great man. Humes nicely portrays the man and his deep convictions. Since this is a summary, there is not a lot of meat in this little book, but one can get an essence of this man by reading this book.
This is a great picture book, and the writing is adequate about the subject.

He also hints at some other weapons which are not covered by any official documents.

Winston Churchill: Soldier, Statesman, Artist, is an outstanding, and easy to read book for young adults. It is very detailed and not hard to follow along. It basically describes the entire life of Winston Churchill starting even before he was born. It is an amazing book, yet does get dry at points.

The year was 1940. France had fallen. The British Expeditionary Force had just been evacuated from Dunkirk, and Hitler was in control of the Continent. The secter of invasion loomed over the British Isles as never before since Napoleon. Over the roar of cannon boomed the voice of one man -- Winston Churchill -- who personified the determination of the free world to fight the Nazis to final victory. "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing-grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender...."

It was Britain's "finest hour." It was also Churchill's finest hour. The challenge of winning World War II was the climax of a long and eventful life -- the fullfillment of a destiny that seemed to hover over him since his birth in Blenheim Palace sixty years earlier.

Elizabeth Longford -- author of highly acclaimed biographies of Queen Victoria and Wellington -- through her fascinating text and comprehensive photo selection takes a fresh and intimate look at this remarkable man. The author reveals the complex man that was Churchill...a man of contrasts, who nevertheless had only one goal in life: to serve his country. "I have faith in my star," he wrote when he was 22, "that is, that I am intended to do something in this world." yet when the "black dog" of depression visited him he wondered the worth of all his struggle. He was a lifelong, incurable romantic, yet he was the most forceful, direct, and practical of men. He remained rooted to his English heritage, never relinquishing his vision of Britain as the "Empire," yet he treasured his American background, relishing in the fact that his Jerome ancestors had fought with Washington in the Revolution. A conservative by birth and inclination, he was the only Western leader during World War II with the vision and foresight to recognize the potential postwar menace of Stalin.

Churchill was a giant among men, one of the few who personality affected the course of history. Through her extensive biographical experience and her own personal knowledge of the man, Lady Longford has limned a new and comprehensive picture of this great man.
