Oceanography written in a style both engaging and scholarly........1999-04-13
Whether you are a serious student of oceanography or, like me, a curious inquirer, you are going to love this book. In fact, once I began reading, it was difficult to close the cover! This book could easily be subtitled "Adventure in the High Seas." Rarely have I read a textbook that combines an engaging style with a scholarly approach that leaves me feeling both truly informed and amazed. I discovered all kinds of interesting facts and theories (deepest part of the world's oceans - the Challenger Deep, part of the Mariana Trench, at 36,163 feet), geological history (the ocean is 4 billion years old yet the oldest ocean floor is only 180 million years old), and astronomical physics (the moon has over two times the tide-generating effect as the sun though it is much smaller).
From helpful hints on serious subjects such as how to escape rip currents to funny stories about plastic bathtub toys (ducks, turtles and frogs) that were lost overboard from a container ship and provided valuable scientific data on ocean currents, I found it all fascinating. The book includes generous amounts of color graphics showing beautiful underwater scenery and marine life as well as colorful maps and aerial photos (for instance, the image depicting wave effects on the shoreline). Each chapter ends with exercises, extensive references, suggested additional reading and recommended web sites to visit. Though the glossary is extensive, I particularly liked the use of the short word derivations that appear frequently throughout the text such as Bathyscaphe (bathos=depth, scaphe=a small ship), thus saving numerous trips to the dictionary.
The book is written as a college-level text for first year oceanography students. Instructors will find an impressive instructional package available from the publisher that includes such things as slides, transparencies, a companion web site reference and an instructor's manual. Read this book and you will agree that it is clearly a five star work.
Book Description
The closest a student can get to the wards without seeing patients! Designed to teach through clinical cases, this text offers 60 of the most common clinical problems in emergency medicine along with case discussion questions, clinical pearls, key terms and concepts, and USMLE-style questions and answers to reinforce learning. This is an excellent study guide for the emergency medicine shelf exam and the USMLE Step 2.

Case Files in Emergency Medicine.......2007-04-15
This is really a factastic book. I own two books from the "Case Files" series, and will buy more when I see them available. Each chapter is concerned with one particular problem. The chapter opens with a case presentation, giving the opportunity to make a diagnosis before proceeding to the explanation and information. Finally, there are Clinical Pearls at the end of each chapter. The book is great because you can take 10 minutes and do one case, and put the book down. Great for a busy schedule. And great for board review.
The way medicine should be taught.......2006-11-14
This book is FANTASTIC. It presents the relevant details of the case and then asks you to think about the diagnosis, differential, emergency treatment and options.
It then analyzes the case for you.
It is indispensible for exam study and more importantly refreshing approaches to common medical emergencies.
Everything from chest pain, sore throat to GI and Neurological emergencies is covered.
2 Thumbs up.......2004-11-22
This book gives a new prespective on learning emergency medicine from many of the books already out there. It is great for step 2, the 4th year EM elective and as a review for residents.

In a 1930s Dominican Republic village, the scream of a woman in labor rings out like the shot heard around Hispaniola. Every detail of the birth scene--the balance of power between the middle-aged Señora and her Haitian maid, the babies' skin color, not to mention which child is to survive--reverberates throughout Edwidge Danticat's Farming of Bones. In fact, rather than a celebration of fecundity, the unexpected double delivery gels into a metaphor for the military-sponsored mass murder of Haitian emigrants. As the Señora's doctor explains: "Many of us start out as twins in the belly and do away with the other."
But Danticat's powerful second novel is far from a currently modish victimization saga, and can hold its own with such modern classics as One Hundred Years of Solitude and The Color Purple. Its watchful narrator, the Señora's shy Haitian housemaid, describes herself as "one of those sea stones that sucks its colors inside and loses its translucence once it's taken out into the sun." An astute observer of human character, Amabelle Désir is also a conduit for the author's tart, poetic prose. Her lover, Sebastian, has "arms as wide as one of my bare thighs," while the Señora's complicit officer husband is "still shorter than the average man, even in his military boots."
The orphaned Amabelle comes to assume almost messianic proportions, but she is entirely fictional, as is the town of Alegría where the tale begins. The genocide and exodus, however, are factual. Indeed, the atrocities committed by Dominican president Rafael Trujillo's army back in 1937 rival those of Duvalier's Touton Macoutes. History has rendered Trujillo's carnage much less visible than Duvalier's, but no less painful. As Amabelle's father once told her, "Misery won't touch you gentle. It always leaves its thumbprints on you; sometimes it leaves them for others to see, sometimes for nobody but you to know of." Thanks to Danticat's stellar novel, the world will now know. --Jean Lenihan
Book Description
In 1937, Rafael Trujillo, President of the Dominican Republic, decided to rid his country of the many Haitians who worked in the cane fields. The characters here are fiction but the story is not. Amabell Desirt is a young Haitian orphaned at age eight and rescued by a Dominican family where she later becomes a maid. She is in love with a cane worker on a nearby farm. When she fears that the army has taken him, she gathers her few belongings and begins the long trek over the mountains in hopes of meeting him across the Dominican/Haitian border. What follows is a story of heartbreak, despair and terror. It is also a story of love, barbarity, dignity, and the only triumph possible for the persecuted: to endure.
"Ms. Danticat has successfully balanced what could have simply been a tale of woe with the redeeming power of bearing witness...eye-opening and delicately written." (New York Times Book Review)

Moved..........2007-01-11
This was the first book I read from this author and I can tell you, it will not be the last. The writing is amazing. This author has an amazing gift with imagery! She will make you see (and feel) what she is writing about as if you are there in the story. It simply took my breath away! A must read. Tears came from my eyes as I read the last few lines in the book. The story captivated me.
"The Farming of Bones" is a chronological work of art. .......2006-12-12
Danticat moves beyond the stream of consciousness of "Krick Krack" and takes us on a voyage to the Dominican Republic and opens our hearts to the drama of a terrifyingly real era of hatred personified. Moving away from the quiet life of a plantation type existence.
The novel lands us in a holocaust situation where the host country becomes murderous and ravenous. The exciting adventure builds from a quiet from a pastoral love story into a fight for survival of Annabelle, the main character, who will be caught in your mind for days afterwards. Sebastien and Annabelle make an adoring couple, even though they are so young. Danticat masterfully evokes the atmosphere of hatred and terror of the massacre of Haitians by Dominicans through the eyes of Amabelle, who at the same time have only a few memories of her childhood and is incredibly uncertain future.
I thought this book was an excellent representation of how life was treated back in 1937 in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Not only was this a pure love story, but it was so factual and real. Danticat does an excellent job with her writing this novel, and deserves an applause. This book was touching and gripping at the same time. As a Haitian American I have always had an interest in understanding the history and problems which exist and have existed in Haiti, but in reading several texts I often find that the language of the genre is often uninteresting. For me Danticat changes that, she takes a historical event in Haitian history and structures it magnificently through the eyes of her young female character. I am glad that there is someone like Ms. Danticat in the literary world to help young Haitians like myself gain a better understanding of Haiti and its culture.
A Must Read! A Beautiful Book!.......2006-10-13
A beautiful book inside and out, I donated my copy to my school library where I work. I think this book about the life in Hispaniola or Haiti and Dominican Republic from the Haitian author's point of view is done poetically. If you have any interest in reading about the life and times in Haiti, this book should be on your must read list. It is one of those books that you don't forget about easily. You remember the story, the plot, the characters, and the crisis in Haiti at the time. Now with Haitian immigrants in our country, the problems are still there and we must not forget them too. This book is a beautiful piece of work that should be read in the classroom.
Fantastic/Horrific story.......2006-08-16
This book is a must read for anybody truly wanting to understand Haiti's history and its relationship to its neighboring countries. Although I felt like the story kind of fell apart at the end, none the less, it was a terrific, informative, important story to be told.
The Lovesong of Amabelle...........2006-07-04
Danticat's depiction of the life and times of Amabelle and her life-long love, Sebastien, is once again truly captivating. Set in the Dominican Republic in 1937, the author provides the backdrop for what came to be one of the most horrifically violent massacres in Haitian history. Yet, similar to Breath, Eyes, Memory, the scenery/historical backdrop does not fully dominate the text; that is, the individual stories of Amabelle and Sebastien are not shadowed by the Haitian massacre, but rather framed by it. The creative effect which Danticat achieves is very simple: she is able to render a distant massacre into a personal event which has the capacity to touch the lives and consciousness of the readers, moving us to action. Essentially, she brings public Haitian history into a private sphere by presenting the lives and tribulations of Amabelle and Sebastien. And, like the other texts which came before them, The Farming of Bones truly strikes a chord. Its simple truths resonate, and the characters are vivid, honest, and three-dimensional. A very public story becomes a personal one which brings the reader at the forefront of the Haitian massacre atrocities, as well as face to face with Amabelle and those who fell and rose before her.

What would life be like for a teen living under a dictatorship? Afraid to go to school or to talk freely? Knowing that, at the least suspicion, the secret police could invade your house, even search and destroy your private treasures? Or worse, that your father or uncles or brothers could be suddenly taken away to be jailed or tortured or killed? Such experiences have been all too common in the many Latin American dictatorships of the last 50 years. Author Julia Alvarez (How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents) and her family escaped from the Trujillo regime in the Dominican Republic when she was 10, but in Before We Were Free she imagines, through the stories of her cousins and friends, how it was for those who stayed behind.
Twelve-year-old Anita de la Torre is too involved with her own life to be more than dimly aware of the growing menace all around her, until her last cousins and uncles and aunts have fled to America and a fleet of black Volkswagens comes up the drive, bringing the secret police to the family compound to search their houses. Gradually, through overheard conversations and the explanations of her older sister, Lucinda, she comes to understand that her father and uncles are involved in a plot to kill El Jefe, the dictator, and that they are all in deadly peril. Anita's story is universal in its implications--she even keeps an Anne Frank-like diary when she and her mother must hide in a friend's house--and a tribute to those brave souls who feel, like Anita's father, that "life without freedom is no life at all." (Ages 10 to 14) --Patty Campbell
Book Description
Anita de la Torre never questioned her freedom living in the Dominican Republic. But by her 12th birthday in 1960, most of her relatives have emigrated to the United States, her Tío Toni has disappeared without a trace, and the government’s secret police terrorize her remaining family because of their suspected opposition of el Trujillo’s dictatorship.
Using the strength and courage of her family, Anita must overcome her fears and fly to freedom, leaving all that she once knew behind.
From renowned author Julia Alvarez comes an unforgettable story about adolescence, perseverance, and one girl’s struggle to be free.
From the Hardcover edition.

Gripping Novel .......2007-04-09
At times the book was a bit confusing it turned out to be a very gripping novel. You felt the emotions and you understood the characters and how they felt. It was very exciting and it had deep meaning about freedom and what it really means. You understood the hardships of dictatorship and the way it affects people's lives.You understood in what ways people under a dictatorship are effected and how they are not. By the second chapter I was pulled into the book and had trouble putting the book down. It was a truly spectacular work of fiction.
captivating book!.......2007-03-29
As the story started, it was just like a normal book beginning, they're at school and it's a regular day. As I read on, it got better and better! It turned into a great book with its ups and its downs. It is about a girl named Anita who struggles under a dictatorship while her father is involved in a plot to overthrow the dictator. I would suggest this book to people who like to see how life was like in a war, or under a dictatorship in this case.
After We Were Free.......2006-11-22
_Before We Were Free_ by Julia Alvarez is the enthralling story of a 12 year old living in the Dominican Republic during the embargo of the country in the 1960s. Anita de la Torre struggles with the normal growing pains that every preteen faces, as well as the worries, fears, and deaths that the people around her face due to the embargo. As more and more people disappear from her life, Anita is unsure whether or not she and her family will survive. When Anita finds out about her parents' plot to kill the dictator of their country, she realizes she was lying to herself about everything she thought she knew before. The writing is suspenseful, beautiful and and reflects that of a young girl.
Such a beautiful book!.......2006-07-21
Julia Alvarez is a wonderful writer! Before We Were Free is a great book about a brave girl named Anita who must escape Dominican Republic dictatorship. Her father and her uncle risk their lives trying to murder the dictator. This book is so suspenseful and beautifully written! Great work, Alvarez!
Before we were Free.......2006-05-30
I recommend the book Before we were Free to girls of all ages. I connected to the main character, Anita, because we are about the same age. I enjoyed the style of writing because just about everything was in present tense, like it was happening right then.

My #1 cookbook right now.......2007-02-23
I have loved all the recipes so far. Recipes use some of the same ingredients so that you don't have to spend tons of money. Nice information sections of foods to stay away from and why. I feel heart healthier already.
Great recipes and great information!!.......2007-02-06
Let me start by saying that I love this book! I'm not calling it a cookbook because it is so much more than that. It is also an easy to understand nutritional reference.
I do not have high cholesterol, nor does my husband or children, but I stumbled on this book and it quickly grabbed me. Anyone and everyone can benefit from following a heart-healthy diet.
The recipes are fantastic. Some of my family's favorites are: Black Bean Soup, Crab Cakes with tomatillo-avacado sauce, Sesame coated Yellowfin Tuna, Lupita's Lemon Chicken, Chicken Fajitas with homemade guacamole, Buffalo Burgers, and Cashew Chicken. I've made several wonderful vegetable and salad recipes as well. The desserts are delicious AND heart-healthy!
The book also helps me with making food choices when I need to pack processed snacks for my kids or when desperate measures call for fast food. The nutritional information that I gained from this book is invaluable. A MUST READ!
Best of the Cholesterol Lowering Books-- No Contest!!.......2006-06-18
This book is set up in an engaging, straight-forward manner and is easily utilized by those with both a lot of background and those with relatively little. It is comprehensive, has a respectful and upbeat tone and is filled with ideas which are very achieveable. The recipes are a bonus -- so far every item tried has been delicious. A real hit at our house.
Beyond your average cookbook. Nice surprise!.......2006-05-31
I loved the way this book was put together. Along with tasty recipes it gives you the nutritional benefits of its ingredients so you get a reason why it's good for you. Not just a cook book but a great reference guide for every day healthy living. A must have in every kitchen. A+ read!
Creative and Tasty Recipes.......2006-05-25
This book has quickly become one of our favorites. Recipes are clearly written and not overly complicated. The nutrition information given for each recipe makes it easy to incorporate into our Weight Watchers routine. Some folks may not be familiar with tomatillos, but you must try the delightful Tomatillo-Avocado sauce (p. 174), which is scrumptious with crab cakes and everything else! We have found that the seasonings are on the mild side - if you enjoy herbs and spices you may want to increase the recommended amounts in the recipes.
