Book Description
Forensic Pathology: Principles and Practice is an extensively illustrated reference book that contains more than 1800 color photographs accompanied by well-considered text that thoroughly explains representative topics, and also provides abundant, up-to-date references for further reading. This well-written volume uses a case-oriented format to address, explain and guide the reader through the varied topics encountered by forensic pathologists. It will benefit not only the experienced forensic pathologist, but also the hospital pathologist who occasionally performs medicolegal autopsies. Doctors in training and those law enforcement officials investigating the broad spectrum of sudden, unexpected and violent deaths that may fall within the jurisdiction of medicolegal death investigators will also find this an invaluable resource.
* Large, colorful photographs which beautifully illustrate the concepts outlined in the text.
* Sample descriptions of pathological lesions which serve to aid pathologists in reporting their findings to law enforcement agencies, attorneys, and others involved in investigations of sudden death.
* 'Do and Don't' sections at the end of each chapter which provide guidance for handling the types of cases examined within preceding sections.
Customer Reviews:
Great book!!!!!.......2006-11-04
This book is really helpful. It covers a wide range of forensics pathology topics and provides rich and detailed information on these topics. It can be used as a "forensics pathology for dummies" book as well as a reference book for confirmed pathologists.
And last but not least, it is full of very good color pictures (forget the usual black and white pics which provide poor information, color pictures are so realistic and so much better!), and generally speaking its look and feels are very pleasant.
An amazing book.......2005-05-30
It is just unbelieveable.The collection of photographs is the best that i have come across. I have several forensic pathology books in my collection and this book has the best collection of real life photographs. The authours have stressed in almost all chapters of the limitations of the findings. This is admirable.Training as a forensic physician and a lawyer, this book is of great help.
Book Description
This internationally famous and best-selling textbook of general (or internal) medicine is renowned for providing a rational and easily understood basis for the practice of clinical medicine. Since it was first published this comprehensive text has met the requirements of several generations of medical students preparing for their examinations, while serving as a valuable reference for doctors in training. Rather than page after page of dense text, this reference makes finding information a snap by featuring lavish, colorful visual information. Extensive tables, crib boxes, MRI images, and x-ray films accompany each chapter's succinct discussions. The book's clear organization and color-coded chapters make it simple to find just the information you need, when you need it.
Customer Reviews:
Good deal.......2007-05-17
Good figures, nice organizarion, a bit short in therapeutics, but a great book overall.
I was really surprised to see that people didn't like it. We loved it........2006-11-12
Once you get on the wards, this is by far the best book. It helps you with physical examination in the opening of each chapter, then lists symptoms and works outward from there. This, while people complained about it meaning that material is repeated in the disease sections, is INCREDIBLY helpful when you are new. It tells you the differential diagnosis for each symptom and what the workup should be. It's not as involved and impossible as Harrison (less research and "cytokine" oriented) but practical. I was the only one with this book and everyone, including the attendings, always wanted to use it. It also mentions the major EBM clinical trials - so you always look good about knowing what trial the guidelines come from and when they refer to them, you know what they mean.
I was really surprised to see that so many people didn't like it. That said, the nephrology chapter was relatively weak, and lots of the subspecialties as well, and it is definitely not a basic pathophysiology book or basic science text - but as a textbook of Internal Medicine, it was really good, friendly for students, and above all, PRACTICAL.
Pretty Good.......2006-01-27
Davidson's Principles and Practices of Medicine is a good overview of the different branches of internal medicine. In particular, Respiratory, Cardiolovascular, Gastrointestinal and Nervous system are well organized, concise and quite informative. It is not a very good source for infectious diseases, rheumatology, nephrology or psychiatry.
I like how the book is organized into a brief introduction to organ physiology, major manifestation of diseases and individual diseases. The section on Liver diseases maybe the best source for learning the subject in this category of books. It might be worth borrowing/buying this book just for that.
Not so well organised.......2005-07-08
I decided to read this book for my final examinations in medicine. I found it hard to read, primarly because of the "Major manifestations" sections. Having theses sections in the book means that it is written about each disease in at least two different places and therefore there are many repetitions. Also there are too many boxes and tables (usually I really like tables and figures, but not when they are too many). After a few chapters I gave up and changed to another book, which was much better organized (Kumar and Clark).
Mediocre Joker.......2005-03-13
Unless you are partial to "bri-ish" colloqial terms like foetal and oeosphagus this book is a waste of time. It takes up too much space on my book shelf. Read Big Robbins, it's all in there. I only read this book because I had to for school.

Customer Reviews:
A great introduction in crystal structure analysis.......2004-01-29
This book should be one of the best introduction in crystal structure analysis for the beginners! Everybody wanting to start with x-ray structure analysis should read this book at the very beginning, since it's, in fact, a International Union of Crystallography Text on Crystallography. It covers the most important topics of x-ray structure analysis in an easy understandable language without boring the reader with mathematical details. You can get a good impression about what the basic principles and problems of x-crystallography are, and how they can be solved.

Industrial Organic Chemistry, Fourth Edition
ASIN: 3527302891 |
Book Description
In this textbook, designed to be used with classic texts of organic chemistry at the undergraduate level, or standing alone for more advanced students, the two experts, M. M. Green and H. A. Wittcoff bring together the principles and the practice. Written for students, while also giving much information that may be used to enhance teaching of the subject, the book's ten concise chapters combine important commercial and practical processes with the principles of organic chemistry. The result is a source of otherwise barely accessible information. In addition, personal anecdotes from the authors' vast experience make this a fascinating and indispensable textbook for everyone wishing to enhance an appreciation of this subject.
Customer Reviews:
Very entertaining and interesting.......2006-07-11
If you have a contempt for organic chemistry, don't buy this book. It's not for you. You are not worthy.
This is not a book about understanding organic chemistry. It's not a review book. It's not a text book.
It is a supplemental book that brings organic chemistry into real life. It's not dumbed down. It's real stuff. Very, very interesting. I would suggest it to go alongside an organic course as an additional text. Perhaps one to be discussed during recitations. Perhaps only for the 'in major' organic students.
If you hate organic, stay away from this book. It's too good for you and we have no time for your whining.
Ken
How come there's no '0-star' rating?.......2003-12-05
This book solidified my contempt for the subject of organic chemistry. No wonder it's so cheap. The book is so confusing, it's content so lacking...where did the authors buy their degrees?
great book to increase your knowledge of organic chem.......2003-11-04
I highly recommend this book for anyone who has taken a semester or more of Organic and wants to know where and how the principles learned are applied in the real world, in the chemical industry. I found that discovering how the concepts of organic chemistry are used in the industrial world, and the history behind them, helped me appreciate and remember them much better.The writing style is excellent and keeps you engaged and interested throughout the book.
