Makes me feel smarter!.......2003-12-01
I am desk jockey who does electrical design work. I have little in-the-field electrical experience. I use the NEC codes frequently to make sure what I design is code-compliant. I have a copy of the standard 1999 NEC book and found many parts of it difficult to interpret. This new "handbook" version has answered all of the questions and uncertainties I had about the code. It has an illustration and explanation for just about every question I could think of. Even when I don't need a certain thing, I have found myself leafing through the book just to learn more.
I would recommend this to anyone, but especially engineer types or those who are inexperienced. I feel much more confident about my job and I don't have to ask electricans those questions that make you feel stupid anymore. Even master electricians will appreciate the explanations of code changes from the 1999 version. Overall, I can't recommend this book more, well worth the $50 or so more than the standard NEC book.
Amazing........2003-01-29
If you hang around with fellow homeowners, there's a lot of water cooler conversation about various things, including the electrical code. This book just nails everything you ever wondered about, everything you haven't yet wondered about, and a few thousand things that you'll never need to know. Want to install a subpanel? Want to figure what gauge of cable to use to supply it? Want to know how to calculate the in^3 fill of a box? How deep to bury an underground cable? How to use raceways? That information totals about 1/4 of 1% of the contents of this book.

Great book, but out-of-date.......2007-05-28
I actually worked with Alex Bove on updating a book on estate planning, when I practiced law in Boston many years ago. I purchased this book back in 1996 (the date of the current edition), but since then the laws have changed several times, most notably in February 2006, with the enactment of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. As a result of those changes, many of the examples and planning suggestions discussed in Bove's book no longer work. For example, all rules relating to gifting, penalty periods, look-back periods, "half-a-loaf" planning, and annuities, have been radically changed. Do not rely on the examples in the book!
That being said, his material on durable powers of attorney, trusts (other than the Convertible Trust, which no longer works), gift taxes, general eligibility requirements, and ethics of Medicaid planning, is still worth reading.
For an example of a book that incorporates all the latest changes in the law, together with case studies and numerous cutting edge planning ideas, take a look at How to Protect Your Family's Assets from Devastating Nursing Home Costs: Medicaid Secrets. It's pricey, but well worth it when you consider all the information and ideas packed into it!
Woefully out of date........2007-04-28
While I own this book (I bought it ten years ago) it is now very much out-of-date. The law of Medicaid is one that is constantly in flux, changing just about every year. Recent changes to Medicaid law have made every book on the subject of Medicaid published before January 2007 obsolete. While this book and its author, Mr. Bove provided a great overview of the Medicaid planning process and for many years was the go to book to learn about Medicaid and the nursing home, today it is woefully out-of-date. For an example of an up-to-date book with information for all 50 states see: The Medicaid Handbook 2007
Not Topical.......2006-11-11
The book fairly explains the complexities of Medicare. However, many changes have been made in Medicare since the date this publication was printed. The book should be updated to reflect the recent changes.
Worthless after Feb 8, 2006.......2006-08-24
Dear Worried Reader,
On February 8, 2006, President Bush signed a law called the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. This law makes sweeping changes to the ability of seniors to transfer (gift) any assets to their children and grandchildren. Following the advice of any book written before that date can cause a catastrophic loss of Medicaid privileges when a senior citizen is most vulnerable..when they actually enter a nursing home. Do not use this book as a reliable guide to current law. elder law attorney Chicago, IL
Thanks to Mr. Bove.......2005-09-21
The information in this book is easy to understand and extremely valuable. It saved my family thousands of dollars by helping me get Medicaid for my father.

Made-Up, Fictitious Nonsense. Save Your Money.......2007-08-14
This author of the section on Physician Assistants either made up her description of the profession out of whole cloth, or knew better but liked what she concocted more than she liked the truth.
To begin with, PA programs don't last from "a few months" to 2 years. There is no place the author would have found that. They all last 2 years...or longer.
Secondly, the author's statement that some programs may have academic prerequistes is just as demonstrably untrue. All PA programs have considerable prerequisites, and these have become more demanding over the years. Many programs require the applicant to hold a Bachelor's degree.
Unfortunately, the gross inaccuracies of this section cast a very dark shadow over the rest of this edited collection. When a book has "legal" in its title and has so serious a misrepresentation, a reader would be wise to look elsewhere for facts upon which to base important decisions.
If you like your non-fiction books to come from the wild imagination of the author...go ahead, get this book. Try not to lose too much sleep wondering which statements in the book are true and which are like the statements mentioned above.
PAs defined by a Nurse?!.......2007-08-08
Until the definitions of Physician Assistants are accurate and corrected in printed and spoken word, this text is untrue and thus, misleading and misrepresentive.
The trend is that PAs are now on Masters level-- either at the onset of education or at the completion of the PA program. In this first decade of the 21st century, there will be a 100% increase in those PA numbers at the end of previous years. As much as some in both factions are loath to admit-- we are on the same team and should and indeed, do work together.
Inaccurate Description of Other Professions..........2007-08-07
If the description of the PA profession is any indication of the caliber of this book, I wouldn't trust anything in it. The author is clearly misinformed as to what PAs are (they are physician assistants, no 's), what their capabilities are, what their training entails and what they are legally allowed to do. The author's definition of a PA is disingenuous and if this serves as the legal basis upon which nurses are supposed to be making decisions, it is completely inappropriate and ultimately hazardous to patient care.
Physician Assistant misinformation.......2007-08-07
I was very disappointed to read Stacey Follin's (ed) description of my profession, Physician Assistants. I was perplexed how she could be so wrong. Either she is ignorant of our profession or she has a political agenda, either of which would cause one to doubt anything that they read in the book. To continue to spread this type of mis-information only contributes to animosity that some nurses feel toward PAs. Nurses and Physician Assistants are on the same team, with the same goal of providing quality, compassionate health care to our patients at reasonable cost.
To correct her statements, PAs typically have BS degrees plus at least two years of patient care experience before entering PA school. PA-medical school has a standard of 24 continuous months of very intensive training. Most PA schools lead to the Masters degree. There has never been, in the history of our profession, a PA program that "last a few months." We are not trained to "assist physicians." We are trained to practice medicine. National Certification was never "available" for PAs but is mandatory, requiring 100 hours of CME every two years and a very difficult national board exam every six.
I was an instructor in both a PA program and a Nurse Practitioner program. In my experience the curriculum of the PA program, in general, was much more challenging than that of the NP, so the efforts to dismiss the PA training as inferior is in poor taste.

Book Description
Facilities which utilize hazardous liquids and gases represent a significant potential liability to the owner, operator, and general public in terms of personnel safety and preservation of assets. It is obvious that a catastrophic incident or loss of property or personnel is to be avoided at all costs. This book was conceived to give the reader a guide to understanding the requirements of the various codes and regulations that apply to the design, construction and operation of facilities utilizing hazardous materials in their processes.

Book Description
Considered the definitive resource and text on forensic psychiatry and psychology since the publication of the first edition, Psychological Evaluations for the Courts, Second Edition, continues to be the most comprehensive discussion of legal, research, and clinical issues for both mental health and legal professionals. Fully revised and updated, the volume covers a broad range of topics in forensic mental health, including insanity, child abuse, sentencing, personal injury claims, and civil commitment. Less traditional subjects such as federal antidiscrimination and entitlement laws, competency to testify, workers' compensation, and a new section on the clinical evaluation of witness credibility have also been added. Throughout, the authors summarize and analyze legal issues, offer suggestions for evaluation procedures, and review appropriate research on both clinical opinions and the legal process.
New to the Second Edition
Completely updated to reflect current research and practice, the volume contains four entirely new chapters and has been revised throughout to include analyses of new case law and clinical techniques; important research on competency and dangerousness from the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Mental Health and Law; and new ethical rules developed by the American Psychological Assocation and the American Psychiatric Association. Also new to this edition are exercises and case studies for students in each chapter (see below).
Customer Reviews:
Very good comprehensive text.......2006-07-08
This book was mandatory for a forensic case law course taught by a seasoned forensic expert. It is thorough, accurate, and provides everything one needs to know before conducting forensic evaluations, as well as a significant amount of information most professionals ought to know but often don't. I recommend it as a tremendous resource for any clincian, especially those who have even a mild interest in forensic or correctional psychology.
5+*s.......2006-04-08
Not a light Sunday afternoon read, this book requires time to think and digest topics. It provides outstanding survey and advanced analysis of research, U.S. laws, and policies across the major foci. While a bit dated, it probably is the best source for gaining an understanding of forensic mental health. An outstanding reference. I feel somewhat odd in reviewing this book, almost like, I'd imagine someone feels when reviewing the Bible. Well worth the price. I wish it would have an annual or biannual update.
Journeyman's Opinion.......2001-12-20
Excellent reference, but a little outdated as of this writing (Dec. 2001). Opinions and recommendations of the authors do not in all respects reflect the majority, or even the respectible minority, of forensic psychologists and psychiatrists. Nonetheless, an excellent reference to have in your library to get the overall gist of an issue or a topic at the interface of psychology and the law. Detailed information pertaining to actual practices will need to be located elsewhere.
Best of Breed.......2001-06-09
I have used this book extensively both as teacher and practitioner for years and it remains the best available text for mental health professionals conducting evaluations for the legal system. It is also an outstanding reference for attorneys litigating mental health issues. Its greatest strength is in the criminal law area, but it is excellent in other areas of the law/mental health interface as well. Psychiatrists should not be deterred by the term "psychological" in the title; it is equally applicable to both disciplines.
Expertly done survey of the area with practical applications.......1999-10-09
If you buy only one book to gain an introduction, or update on the area of forensic psychology, this must be it. The authors have gathered legal precedent, research, illustration, and opinion, while retaining readability. It is long - especially with double column pages - but well worth it. An added feature is that the authors, through the publisher, maintain a web site for periodic updates to the book and relevent case law.
Book Description
Focused on prioritizing and managing the spectrum of services for people with serious medical problems and their families, life care planning has evolved into an advanced practice. Keeping up with changes in the field, this second edition of a bestseller provides a comprehensive resource for professionals and consumers who need to solve the complex medical care problems of life care planning. The book includes information for the patient, family, care providers, and everyone concerned with coordinating, assessing, evaluating, and monitoring necessary services. It offers an overview of issues relevant to selected disabilities while teaching readers about the roles various professionals play.
Customer Reviews:

Fire Service Law (Brady Fire)
ASIN: 0471286230 |
Book Description
Fire Law The Liabilities and Rights of the Fire Service Thomas D. Schneid Today's 34,000 fire departments across the country are at increased risk of civil and criminal liability. According to Tom Schneid, municipal departments, volunteer organizations, and industrial fire brigades are more vulnerable than ever before to lawsuits, fines, and other damages, which means that the country's 1.2 million firefighters simply must gain a working knowledge of the various areas of potential liability if they are to avoid litigation. Fire Law refers to actual court cases, giving readers the fullest possible understanding of issues, facts, court reasoning, and even dissenting opinions. The book discusses the procedures of the various courts—from the federal on down to the municipal level. It sheds light on such issues as:
- The legal implications of the Americans with Disabilities Act
- The legal impact of National Fire Protection Association Standards
- Firefighter's responsibilities under OSHA and other federal regulations
- The legal liabilities of emergency medical service workers
- "Assumption of risk" doctrine and "fellow servant" rule
- "Special duty" and "attractive nuisance" doctrines
Cutting through the "legalese" to provide useful, plain-English guidance on the rights and responsibilities of fire service personnel, Fire Law will become an invaluable resource to firefighters everywhere. Designed to be used in conjunction with legal counsel, it provides fire departments with invaluable legal guidance and some much-deserved peace of mind.
Customer Reviews:
A Must Read for Fire Officers!.......2007-01-04
This is a must read for fire officers! It is very important for those in charge of the business end of emergency services to understanding the legalities that affect the business!
Dr. Schneid has done a wonderful job presenting the information to the lay person. While this book primarly targets safety and loss professionals, legal professional will find some value too.
The book is well written easy to read.

Book Description
*THE source for physicians, attorneys, and patients to turn to for legal and health care information *Practical, case based, user friendly
*Focuses on the expansion of legal and business knowledge for practicing physicians, attorneys and other people interested in health care
*Details managed care, malpractice, liability, and other modern policy areas such as fraud and abuse, alternative dispute resolution, and advance directives
Bryan Liang's primary goal for HEALTH LAW & POLICY: A SURVIVAL GUIDE TO MEDICOLOGAL ISSUES FOR PRACTITIONERS is to provide physicians, attorneys, and all others interested in health care with the relevant intellectual tools necessary to be able to understand and survive in the rapidly changing world of health care. This goal is implemented through basic descriptions and a supplemented case approach where themes or rules are plainly stated, one or more case illustrations are given, and relevant commentary is provided, integrating the rule and case. To be effective, medical and legal practitioners and patient advocates in this evolving health delivery system must expand their knowledge base to encompass legal and business concerns. This book seeks to provide the foundation to allow this expansion to occur.
Customer Reviews:
a book that EVERY doc and health lawyer should own!.......1999-12-31
Liang's book is the first comprehensive AND comprehensible book on the health care system out there! As a physician who went to medical school decades ago, i never realized how much would change in the practice environment. No one has been able to give a thorough review of all the topics that we need to know now; not my specialty society, certainly not the AMA, and not my state med society. But this book does; it has everything from a great overview of the law, the standard stuff (e.g., med mal, informed consent) AND gives clear and complete explanations of the huge and legalese laden areas of fraud and abuse, antitrust, etc. I found the material on physician contracting really helpful in understanding what I should look for in my contracts. And the stuff on death and dying (e.g., advanced directives) was very helpful for my patients (I copied it for them). I heard of this book from the general counsel's office at our hospital and she uses it a lot too. I tell all the med students and residents who rotate with me about this book. And the web page addresses are really great!
