Book Description

This comprehensive resource applies the fundamentals of epidemiology to the study of infectious diseases (ID). In the first section, readers will learn about basic epidemiologic methods for the study of ID plus be introduced to newer techniques like geographical information systems, mathematical modeling, and genetic laboratory tools. In the second section, the book covers major infectious diseases to illustrate both the range of techniques and issues vital to epidemiologists, and to highlight those diseases that have a major impact on health around the world. These include diseases of high mortality and morbidity such as malaria, HIV, STDs, diarrhea, and those with unique epidemiology such as parasitic diseases and Lyme disease.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent, detailed overview for both experts and novices.......2000-11-22

This text is an excellent textbook for both infectious disease professionals and for students of infectious disease epidemiology. Nelson and colleagues cover a range of essential topics from a survey of important historical epidemics to study designs for infectious disease investigations. The first part of the text covers ID epidemiology background and methodology, whereas the second focuses on specific diseases as examples of different transmission modalities. TB, HIV and Influenza are among the pathogens discussed in great detail. Chapters are written by experts in their respective fields, making this textbook not only authoritative, but also up-to-date in scope and content. Many of the authors are affiliated with the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health or the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. "Infectious Disease Epidemiology" is extremely readable, and serves as an excellent reference tool. I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Overview of Techniques.......2007-03-09

This book is not only beautiful to look at, but contains a terrific sampling of various techniques. Enough information is given to allow the reader to attempt different techniques and expand their skill set, or to cross a specific technique off their list for the present without a huge investment in time and materials.
Highly Recommended!

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Breathing.......2007-07-12

This could probably have been condensed into 1 CD as it seems to go on a long time with description before getting down to the breathing exercise bit. (Although it is very soothing to listen to with all the new age music in the background!) The breathing exercises are very effective and it is certainly easier to follow along with Andrew Weil as he does the exercises than to try to figure it out from a book description.

5 out of 5 stars You would think we know how to do this!.......2007-06-29

I thought I was pretty good at breathing; after all I've made it to 60 years old quite well with what I knew ;-) but this opens up a completely different way of approaching the subject and one I have really enjoyed.

I have just started on my learning journey, but I am enjoying it immensely.

I do have to agree with one of the other reviewers though, once you have heard the lecture on the first CD, you really don't have to ever listen to it again.

5 out of 5 stars Breathing Awareness.......2007-04-12

"If today you can be aware of breathing for ten seconds more than you were yesterday, you will have taken a measurable step toward expanded consciousness, deeper communication between mind and body, and integration of your physical, mental and spiritual functions." ~ Dr. Weil

Listening to Dr. Weil's voice instantly makes me feel calmer and his wisdom is always refreshing. In "Breathing The Master Key to Self Healing" he guides the listener through a series of breathing exercises for improved health and peace.

A few of the exercises include:

Following Your Breath
Begin with Exhalation
Make Your Breathing Deep, Slow, Quiet and Regular
The Relaxing Breath
Observe Your Breath
Breathe Abdominally

Each exercise is easy to learn and you can use the information instantly to encourage deeper sleep, more relaxation during the day and a quick fix for stressful situations. Dr. Weil leads you through each exercise with care and attention to detail so you can take greater control of the breathing process. These exercises will help you with anxiety disorders, encourage the lowering of high blood pressure and help you to reprogram your nervous system.

I can also recommend: Dr. Andrew Weil's Mindbody Toolkit: Experience Self Healing With Clinically Proven Techniques

4 out of 5 stars Not too bad.......2007-03-22

This was recommended to me by a wholistic RN to deal with stress. Use it during a quiet time and practice different breathing techniques that it offers and you feel better and more relaxed.

5 out of 5 stars A great health benefit for any age.......2007-01-21

I've listened to a number of breathing audio's and most leave you wanting more understanding regarding technique or health benefits. Andrew Weil's CD is clear and concise regarding the health benefits of deep breath. The second disc contains several different - 7 in all - breathing exercises. Each with clear instructions on the how to and each demonstrated by the author himself before he guides you through the actual exercise for yourself. Personally, I began noticing the benefit of deep breathing a few day after I started doing the exercises.

The description for this book said that it was in good condition, however, when I went to the appendix to study word roots, probably the most important section of the whole book, I found all of the pages I needed had been torn out! Essentially, this made the book worthless and I ended up having to borrow one from a friend.

This was very helpful in learning the correct spelling and pronunciation of medical terminology.

5 out of 5 stars Great system for learning terminology quickly.......2006-06-16

I am a midwifery student and I needed to learn medical terminology. This book is set up like a workbook. You can fill it in as you go. By filling in the blanks, making up flash cards, and taking the quizzes, I was able to learn a lot of medical terminology in a short amount of time. Much of the terminology in medicine is very logical, using root words, suffixes and prefixes. If you learn these, you can figure out the meaning of a lot of medical terms. Filling in blanks (especially when a lot of the answers are obvious) may seem redundant and like busy work, but by using more modalities for your learning process (auditory as you listen to the cd's, visual as you read, tactile as you write), you learn it so much more quickly and easily. There were some typos in the book and a few frames that were written incorrectly or in a confusing manner but not many. If you pay attention, you will catch them. I would advise the editors to do a better proofreading job in the next edition. This book is totally worth it if you are just starting out in the medical field. It is basic terminology but it will give you a great start. The book also covers some pathological, diagnostic, and therapeutic terms, as well as a section where you can practice reading sample medical records. Make sure you buy a book that is not filled in so you can fill it in yourself and get the most out of it.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent service!!!.......2006-05-16

I bought this book from John Kitts, and the service/communication with him was really pleasant. The quality of the book was excellent. It was really like new, at a good price and it included brand new audio CD?s with it as the add said.
Thanks a lot John!!!

    I'm from Valencia,Spain. I received this in a excellent condition. The shipment arrived in the estimated time.
    Thanks

    5 out of 5 stars Great book for learning energy manipulation.......2007-01-03

    This book combines information from different pranic healing-books. It covers a wide area of knowledge including: healing, energy exercises, what energy is and how it relates to healing, your energy anatomy and so on.

    The book has great exercises to train you to manipulate your and you fellow beings energy fields. If you are already familiar with another type of energy healing, then this book has some new and valuable information, which I found useful.

    If you are new to energy healing, and are wondering if this stuff is real, then I suggest you get this book and start using it's methods. That's the only way to find out for sure.

    5 out of 5 stars this works!.......2005-11-04

    Am I crazy or what?
    I can scan another persons aura. They can feel it, I can feel it and it scares me half to death. (I had to put the book down before finishing it)
    As a Christian I'm not sure that this is the right thing to do.
    Imagine we could all have healing powers inside of us and not even know it.
    easy to read and easy to understand.

    WOW what a book!

    5 out of 5 stars Simple yet complete.......2003-10-21

    Pranic healing is effective, as shown by various studies (see www.pranicmds.org for a sample).

    As a book on pranic healing, YHCHY is very highly recommended (especially for those new to pranic healing) because it is: 1) very clear, 2) very easy to read, and 3) surprisingly complete.

    YHCHY is very clearly written. In the esoteric field of energy healing, one might expect some authors to hide behind language to avoid having to deal with details that are not easy to explain. YHCHY goes out of its way to explain in detail with clear concepts.

    Although YHCHY is detailed, it is still very easy to read, and the directions are simple to follow. The book itself doesn't take too long to read, but packs a lot of information in relatively few pages.

    What surprised me most about YHCHY is how complete and integrated it is. The book focuses primarily on basic pranic healing, but also gives techniques for other areas that together coalesce to form a complete system. For example, the book also includes some techniques for increased healing effectiveness through colored prana, protection, meditation, psychological well-being, and spirituality. The book isn't designed to be the only pranic healing book that you'll ever need. However, it does give you an idea of the breadth of applications that pranic healing has, and meanwhile gives you some access to those advanced techniques.

    The book was criticized by one reader as having fluff. I strongly disagree. If the reader's sole focus is basic healing, then yes he could be correct. But these areas are all interrelated and synergistic. For example, many diseases have psychological roots, therefore techniques in psychological well-being can help in the healing process. Ditto with meditation, spirituality, etc. So, these seemingly irrelevant "fluff" are actually important and help increase healing effectiveness.

    5 out of 5 stars Must have book for beginners to Chi Kung.......2007-08-15

    The past few years I've been practicing various types of meditation and decided I wanted to combine meditating with movement, so I turned to the internal martial arts (Qigong, Tai Chi, Xiang Yi, Ba Gua). After speaking to several internal arts teachers from sound linneages, they all recommended starting with Qigong, and to spend at least half a year only mastering several postures before moving on to the other forms of the internal arts. I bought this book because Master Lam's method seemed in tune with this belief, and I was pleasantly shocked at the results of this book:

    --The book says to expect changes over a span of weeks; after the first day alone my back felt more loose, stress free and relaxed then it had in years.
    --I no longer have the need to drink caffeine in the morning to keep me up throughout the day.
    --I've slowly started to be able to detect an actual physical presence of chi throughout my body (this is coming from a fairly rational/logical, non new-agey type of guy).
    --My overall mood and energy has improved.
    --I have a much more peaceful state of mind.
    --My hypertention has been completely erased; I can calm anxiety driven behavior down much more easily, and have learned to control and regulate my breathing.
    --It has helped my cardio activities, long distance running & basketball, immensely. I feel I have more endurance, more balance, and more confident in both sports.

    I owe a huge thank you to Master Lam for publishing a book that is simply written and easy to understand, while containing a wealth of information about the forms, postures, breathing, visualizations, anecdotes, meridians, and other information about Qigong, and Lam's specialty of Zhang Zhuang in particular. I'm still shocked at how much learning these postures has improved my life and brought me both physical relief as well as inner peace. Highly recommended.

    4 out of 5 stars The Way of Energy: A Gaia Original.......2007-02-17

    This system of movement has assisted me to release old tensions that I was unable to access or release in any other way. Truely a way to rejuvenation.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent step-by-step introductory Qigong (Chi Kung) manual.......2006-12-30

    The Way of Energy provides a step-by-step, almost month-to-month introduction to the practice of Qigong.

    Many Qigong books are too "Eastern" for Westerners to read, or are too technical/textbook like, spending many pages going over the meridians, cavities, times of day and orientation. This is required knowledge for advanced practicioners, but gets in the way and is intimidating for introductory students.

    The Way of Energy starts of with a simple, straightforward standing meditation. After a brief introduction to Qigong, Part One introduces two standing positions, discusses how to start with a few minutes then work your way up to many, a good section on breathing and has an excellent section describing the sensations most people experience when starting Qigong practice (this section is worth the price of the book for most beginners).

    Part Two (which the text recommends proceeding to after a few months) introduces the Eight Pieces of the Brocade Qigong exercies (called Ba Duan Jin in this text) and introduces three additional and advanced standing positions. The reader is instructed on how to integrate these two new pieces into their practice. While the Eight Pieces of Brocade positions vary slightly from other texts, their descriptions are excellent and their purpose briefly but clearly explained.

    Part Three describes four advanced standing positions and imagery exercises for the practicioner to begin managing their Chi. The last part of the book describes how to integrate these disciplines into everyday life.

    In summary, an excellent introductory step-by-step guide. For more technical works, I would recommend the Qigong Meditation series by Dr. Yang, Jwing Ming (Embryonic Breathing, Small Circulation and the forthcoming book on Grand Circulation).

    5 out of 5 stars Finest introduction to QiGong practice.......2006-09-01

    This book is arguably the very finest introduction currently available to the practice of QiGong, especially for those who do not have access to a trustworthy living teacher. QiGong's burgeoning popularity has generated a plethora of both violently skeptical and credulously New-Agey essays. Rather than taking either on faith, you can actually experience internal Qi for yourself and make up your own mind as to its value, using this volume as a guide. Lam Kam-Chuen is one of a tiny handful of QiGong teachers who are fully qualified to write a practical instruction manual geared to the average Western person. For those who want to actually experience the truth about Qi for themselves rather than chew an academic cud of pre-digested dogma, this book is worth its weight in gold!

    5 out of 5 stars Very good coverage of the topic.......2006-08-26

    This book really does a good job of explaining standing (Zhan Zhuang) and Qigong to the beginner. My sifu had recommended that I do standing practice, and had taught me a qigong set, and I found that reading this book helped me along. Some of the things (such as the Ba Duan Jin qigong set) differ slightly from the way I was taught, but basically the book is right on the money, and does a good job of helping you understand what everything is for. I also like the warm up exercises before standing that he shows, they really do help. The book is very well illustrated also, which is a plus. Highly recommended, especially for anyone into internal martial arts.

    This is an incredible book. Don't listen to that stupid first review.

    1 out of 5 stars Cheap thrills and an invitation to Eastern religions.......2000-07-27

    Save your money. Other than an invitation to try eastern religions, I found this book to be a complete waste of time. Yup, if you think about relaxing a part of your body, it'll relax. Deep breathing will relax you, and reading about these things will suggest that you do them.

    5 out of 5 stars The Holy Grail of Self-Help Books.......2000-05-21

    This may not be the only self-help book you ever need. But if you're like me and you've accumulated a lot of books over the years, but haven't managed to stick with the program, this is it! Getting results is not exactly as easy as reading a book. It's about as easy as reading a book and making a sandwich. Without needing discipline or faith or changing beliefs, I have already become more aware of how being in certain positions or making certain motions will cause strain resulting in aches and pains later. I can also count on being able to relax whenever I want and fall asleep when I need to.

    It's hard to go into a great deal of detail about what's in the book because what you get out of it will be very personal. I can say that it's been an experience that I will never forget. There is a great deal more to be gained, I'm sure, as one reads the book/does the exercises (They're the same thing! You won't fall into the trap of reading the book and procrastinating on doing the exercises! ) but they're fun, pleasurable and produce undeniable results every time. There's no fear for letting this one sit on the shelf after getting frustrated or jaded. I may even go back through my library and see if I find something that's a bit more useful with my newfound perspective. If you're of a mystical bent, this is an excellent way to achieve an altered state that can serve as a launching pad for your magical journey. For the scientific type, there is no "spoon-bending" or anything else to be skeptical about. Only time-tested, well-researched method that you can test and evaluate for yourself. For the Leary/Wilson types, this is the most effective tool for getting practical benefits from fifth-circuit activation that I've ever come across. And believe me, I've looked, dude.

    Bottom line, I highly reccomend it for anyone who posesses a human nervous system.

    5 out of 5 stars want to Get High?.......1998-08-10

    I have bought this book at least four times and I keep giving it away. I want everyone to read it! The simplest method for experiencing altered states and body transformation. A virtual drug on a page.
