I have only just received the book. I can tell it is going to be a keeper!

Editorial Review:

Mindfulness opens us up to the possibility of being fully human as we are, and of expressing the humane in our way of being. Mindlessness de facto closes us up and denies us the fullness of our being alive. This book may on the surface appear to be merely another offering in the genre of daily readings. But deep within these 108 selections lie messages of profound wisdom in a contemporary and practical form that can lead to both healing and transformation. We so urgently need to rotate in consciousness in order to safeguard what precious sanity is available to us on this planet. How we carry ourselves will determine the direction the world takes because, in a very real way, we are the world we inhabit. Our world is continuously being shaped by our participation in everything around us and within us through mindfulness. This is the great work of awareness. Welcome to the threshold … to the fullness of arriving at your own door!

Editorial Review:

Now in paperback, the guide to living a meaningful life from the world stress expert

"[The] journey toward health and sanity is nothing less than an invitation to wake up to the fullness of our lives as if they actually mattered . . ." --Jon Kabat-Zinn, from the Introduction

Ten years ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn changed the way we thought about awareness in everyday life with his now-classic introduction to mindfulness, Wherever You Go, There You Are. Now, with Coming to Our Senses, he provides the definitive book for our time on the connection between mindfulness and our physical and spiritual wellbeing. With scientific rigor, poetic deftness, and compelling personal stories, Jon Kabat-Zinn examines the mysteries and marvels of our minds and bodies, describing simple, intuitive ways in which we can come to a deeper understanding, through our senses, of our beauty, our genius, and our life path in a complicated, fear-driven, and rapidly changing world.

In each of the book’s eight parts, Jon Kabat-Zinn explores another facet of the great adventure of healing ourselves -- and our world -- through mindful awareness, with a focus on the "sensescapes" of our lives and how a more intentional awareness of the senses, including the human mind itself, allows us to live more fully and more authentically. By "coming to our senses" -- both literally and metaphorically by opening to our innate connectedness with the world around us and within us -- we can become more compassionate, more embodied, more aware human beings, and in the process, contribute to the healing of the body politic as well as our own lives in ways both little and big.

Your Lifesaver in Fluid & Electrolytes Ocean! 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I purchased this book with some doubt, because you see a very high variability in these series. Now, i am very happy. Every medical student and resident gets frustrated with fliuid and electrolytes. Reading textbooks makes it worse. I have seen a lot of attendings and Nephrologists (!!) who are scared of this subject. This book can help you tremendously. It is written in a very simple language and gives you the proper approach to fluid and electrolyte problems. It is full of practical examples that you will see every day and shows you how to solve them. After reading this book, you will be confident enough to deal with electrolytes. Instead of replacing electrolytes blindly with K-Dur and Neutra-Phos and .... and not knowing what to do with Hyponatremia, you will have a nice framework in your brain to deal with them. And the best part: It is a small book. Don't hesitate to get it. You won't regret.

Editorial Review:

Univ. of Miami, FL. Concise handbook on solving problems concerning complex fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base complications. For medical students, interns, residents, nurses and nurse practitioners, and first-year nephrology fellows. Softcovers.

I want to say I received the book within a week from ordering it, I don't remember exactly, but it was quicker than other books I have ordered from other sellers. It came in brand new, wrapped in plastic, along with the textbook. Good service!

Applied Therapeutics 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Not just a drug reference, this is a clinical book.... teaches critical thinking and application of drugs, recommended by many PharmD's. You'll use it for ever.

IF YOU ONLY NEED ONE BOOK IN PHARMACY; THIS IS IT!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Very Nicely Done!!! There are some Typos, but overall it is an awesome book. A must for any pharmacist/pharmacy student!!!

Nice. 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Applied Therapeutics is a very detailed, thorough, and informative compilation of assorted health care matters.

The text is easy to read and the numerous sample cases studies in each chapter ensures that the reader fully understands and is able to apply the information presented. It is also an excellent method to reinforce the enormous amount of information health care providers are presented with in daily practice.

The free CD-ROM (which you must request on their website with a coupon code attached in the back of the book) is a very portable version of this hefty textbook.

A word of caution: This is defintely not an "introductory" book. A little working knowledge of biology, pharmacology, and disease states is a must.

Overall, awesome textbook for interning students.

Editorial Review:

Using a case-based approach, the Ninth Edition of Applied Therapeutics: The Clinical Use of Drugs enables students to master the fundamentals of drug therapeutics. All the contributors are leading clinicians with many years of evidence-based care. As students progress through the text, they will learn the basics of common diseases and disorders and develop practical problem-solving skills for devising and implementing successful drug treatment regimens.

This is a good and funny book. My mom started chemo recently and I was reading this book before I gave it to her actually and these in it seems to relate well to her situation and gives you a new view on looking at chemo. I recommend this book.

Laughter is good!!! 5 out of 5 stars.

Very lighthearted and enjoyable to pick up anytime. I've carried it to my doctor's appointments which usually last several hours and am always glad I brought it!!! Well done!!

Didn't like this book either.. 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Didn't like this book either.. It wasn't funny and anyone going through chemo only wish they could even feel like cleaning out the garage. My 16 year old is going through 3 horrible toxic chemos and she said she would Definitely rather clean out the garage rather than having to go through the chemo... it wasn't something entertaining enough to keep me reading, it was quite boring. If you want to laugh.. get Jeff Dunham's DVD, the newer one, it is sooo funny!! Search for him on YouTube..

Humerous Look at a Serious Topic 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I recently was diagnosed with cancer and have been very down. This book is funny and gives you a humerous way to look at the seriousness of cancer. Everytime I get stuck with an IV pole I think about this book and chuckle. When my hair fell out I thought of all the funny things the author had to say about her experience and I felt so much better. This is a fantastic book.

Pharmacology in Rehabilitation 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is an easy-to-read, very concise and to the point text book. Ciccone does a great job of summarizing each disease process, listing the drugs used in their management, and including excellent case studies as they pertain to rehabilitation. Of particular help were the boxes at the end of each chapter which detailed any rehabilitation concerns that should be addressed in treating patients using particular pharmacological intervention. I actually read this book from start to finish and can claim to have read an entire textbook, a first for me.

Is this book worth it? 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I would assume that the majority of people who would buy this book are taking a class in pharmacology. I have had alot of recommended text books that were not worth even taking out of the wrapper, but this book is not one of them. The author's actually spent the time to organize and gather relatively current information and then put a hard cover on it. It's getting harder and harder to get that combination. I gave this a 5 star rating because it really will be a book you will keep and reference after the class is over.

Editorial Review:

Ithaca College, New York. Second edition of a text for physical and occupational therapy students or for practitioners on basic pharmacology and how drug therapy can affect patients receiving physical or occupational therapy. Previous edition 1990.
