This is an awesome book for anyone interested in nutrition. Very indepth text book style reading but worth every miniute!

Great comprehensive book on nutrition. 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is exactly the book I've been looking for! Objective, to-the-point facts on nutrition, vitamins, eating habits, and other topics such as preservatives, toxins, etc. I've seen too many "fad" nutritional books that are biased toward either vegan/vegetarian, low carb, low fat, high fat-low carb, etc. This book seems to be objective enough to allow the readers to decide on their own what diet path to take. This book, a good diet, and exercise can stand on their own and I feel this book can last a long time as a good reference book. Personally, I prefer a well-rounded diet (including some red meat), chicken, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts. I lean toward organic or natural foods. Should readers decide to focus on another particular diet, they can supplement this book with one that follows their philosophy. I highly recommend this book as a stand alone or as a starting point to other diets.

Editorial Review:

Featuring more than 250 photographs and 50 anatomical drawings, Deep Tissue Massage is the standard guide to the essentials of touch, biomechanics, and positioning options for a multitude of strategies to treat all major conditions encountered in a bodywork practice.

The book is divided into three sections. “Fundamentals” covers basic skills of palpation, explaining the deeper layers of the body and presenting detailed instruction on working with these layers to release tension. This section gives clear information on the proper use of knuckles, fist, forearms, and elbows in preventing injury to the therapist. “Strategies” offers more precise protocols and treatment plans for the entire body with emphasis on client positioning options to stretch muscles rather than just kneading tissues. “Caveats” details areas in which the practitioner needs to exercise caution.

Deep Tissue Massage presents a wealth of information in a way the therapist can immediately utilize. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and includes a preface to the new edition, a foreword, an index, a Suggested Reading list, and extended sections on integrating deep-tissue massage into bodywork practice and the psychology of treating injuries.

Has everything you will need... 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book has everything, I bought the older edition and it has everything you'll need to pass the boards, take care of pediatric patients, do well on a clinical rotation and beyond!!!

Content is generally good but too many typos and errors 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I think that this is an adequate review for pediatrics. It is also nice for going over basic medicine topics again. However, I have found many typos and errors in tables(and I am only on page 131 out of 300). For example, Table 10-1 lists all the hemolytic anemias and sickle cell as macrocytic. Later on the chapter does cover the material properly. These sorts of errors waste a lot of my mental time and effort.

Editorial Review:

One of the best selling and most highly regarded volumes in the Blueprints series, Blueprints Pediatrics provides students with a concise review of what they need to know in their pediatrics rotation or the Boards. Each chapter is brief and includes pedagogical features such as bolded key words, tables, figures, and key points. A question and answer section at the end of the book presents 100 board-format questions with complete rationales. This edition includes full-color dermatology and infectious disease photographs and multicolored flow diagrams of congenital heart defects. A companion Website includes a question bank and fully searchable text.

Editorial Review:

This follow up to The Sugar Solution offers more than 200 delicious recipes that stabilize blood sugar, which is the key to losing weight quickly, safely, and permanently

The latest medical discoveries make it clear: The real key to losing weight isn’t in calories, carbs, or exercise—it’s learning to control blood sugar. By focusing on the healthiest carbohydrates and fats, The Sugar Solution Cookbook enables readers to keep their blood sugar in check—so they can keep their metabolism up, overeating down, and quell their cravings for fattening foods. They’ll learn how to eat six meals a day while dropping a steady 2 pounds a week—and never regain the weight.

While some other popular diets are dangerously high in fat and deficient in fiber and other important nutrients, The Sugar Solution Cookbook draws on the latest research in the science of weight loss and features:

• a nutritionally balanced eating plan—created by a nutritionist and backed by Prevention, a name readers have learned to trust for safe, effective health information

• more than 200 mouthwatering, simple-to-prepare dishes, including such family favorites as All-American Pot Roast, Stir-Fried Orange Chicken and Broccoli, and Cajun-Spiced Oven Fries

• tips on how to substitute good fats and carbs in favorite recipes

And, since there are no forbidden foods in The Sugar Solution Cookbook, the dessert recipes include such delectable treats as Spiced Kahlua Custard, Peanut Butter Bundt Cake, and Dark Chocolate Pudding. Best of all, every splurge is guilt-free.

A book that has stood the test of time. 5 out of 5 stars.
86 of 86 people found this review helpful.

Now in its 5th edition, this book has become "thee" muscle testing book to have. Who's it for? Anyone who has a need to be able to MANUAL muscle test any of the body's muscles. This would include such professionals as doctors, nurses, physical therapists, athletic trainers, personal trainers, etc.

How does the book work? Well, you look up the particular muscle you want to test, look at the picture of the test position, and then simply apply manual pressure to the limb in the instructed direction. If it sounds easy, it is the way this book shows you- included are dozens and dozens of GREAT pictures that show you precisely what to do. So, if you have a need to regularly test muscles, I highly recommend you get this book- it's a little bit more expensive than some of the other muscle testing books, but its the best I've come across so far- in fact it sits right on my desk for reference. Health professionals might also be interested in The Sixty-Second Motivator to help get clients motivated to do their home exercise programs consistently.

Editorial Review:

This renowned classic provides unparalleled coverage of manual muscle testing, plus evaluation and treatment of faulty and painful postural conditions. The thoroughly updated Fifth Edition is completely reorganized and has new, expanded treatment and exercise sections in each chapter. Other features include a new section on post-polio syndrome, additional case studies comparing Guillain-Barré to polio muscle tests, a new full-color design, and a first-of-its-kind chart of upper extremity articulations. A bonus Primal Anatomy CD-ROM contains a three-dimensional interactive model of the human body. Students can rotate the model and add or subtract layers of anatomy to strengthen their knowledge.

SUPERIOR METHODOLOGY; VERY COMPREHENSIVE 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Designed by experts, and with care; "Current Pediatric Diagnosis & Treatment" is one book that both paediatricians and GPs know too well. It covered every aspect of child's health-care in a way that would arouse envy in other texts. Its superior methodology is one factor that has kept its name above others. The authors of this book deserve tons of commendations. They did a fantastic job. Every chapter of the book speaks for them!
Its illustrations are utterly comprehensive; and the frequency with which its information is updated ensure that only the most current advances in paediatrics are included.
Very welcomed! Books of this quality would ensure that doctors (and medics) will always live upto their respective billings.

Editorial Review:

Thoroughly revised every two years, this complete reference for students and practitioners, provides up-to-date clinical information on the ambulatory and inpatient medical care of children. Presented in an easy-to-use, readable format, this authoritative resource emphasizes ambulatory care, acute critical care, and the practical approach to pediatric disorders.

I am a new teacher and I am trying to build up a library of resources. I bought this book hoping it would be helpful. I am so glad I purchased it. The activities are simple and concise, but they were developed with the children in mind. They will enrich your higher kids and strengthen your lower readers. Great for Kindergarten to intro basic phonics, super for first grade!! They will be fun to use in the classroom. The book is also FULL of information about phonics and linguistics. Do not hesitate purchasing this book.

Nutrition Book 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book was advertized as used-good condition. I can tell that this book had been opened, but it doesn't really show any wear or any marks or highlighting. It is in better condition than advertized!!

I orderd it on 8/5 and it was shipped on 8/6. I feel bad because the book was sold to me at a reduced cost and then it was shipped standard parcel post...much more expense than 'book rate.'

I will definately purchase college books through Amazon in the future. Thanks.

Invaluable 5 out of 5 stars.
24 of 27 people found this review helpful.

I got an earlier edition of this book in Physical Therapy school and it was invaluable in teaching the finer points of goniometry. I constantly used it as a source of information, until I became comfortable with measuring joint range of motion. Since I am now working in the inpatient arena, I mostly repeatedly measure knees, but refer back to it when I need to brush up on another joint. It has clear pictures and overall is a great reference book for anyone who has to evaluate joint ranges of motion.

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

This is an excellent as easily describes how to do ROM of all sorts of joints. A great book for a student and practitioner that needs to look up the more obscure joints. It has tables as well for normal ROM. You can't go wrong with this one.

Editorial Review:

Ohio Univ., Athens. Student manual provides comprehensive coverage of the subject and includes extensive use of halftone photographs. Testing procedures use a two-page format, with color to enhance headings, charts, and tables. This edition is consistent with the APTA's Guide to Physical Therapist Practice Terminology. Previous edition: c1995. Wire-spiral binding.
