Brand new book in a fast amount of time.......2007-09-12
The book was brand new and at a great price. It arrived promptly in perfect packaging.
eBook restricted use disappointing.......2007-08-28
Each copy of the book comes with a eBook download code that allows the book owner to download an electronic copy of the book. The eBook version of the book is a special pdf file that can only be viewed on the computer that downloaded the eBook. The pdf file may be copied to another computer but the file will not be viewable on the other computer due to digital rights management features built into the file. Also, there is a 10 page/day print limit on the file. So if you want to avoid carrying the 3 inch thick book around, you had better download the eBook version to a laptop.
Good read for those in therapeutics.......2007-02-26
Helps make material taught in class solid. Also has nutrtitional information, and OTC drug information in interacting diseases.
Comments.......2007-01-07
One of the most useful and logical texts on pharmacotherapy available. Explaining the disease process then introducing the drugs gives the reader a structure with which to approach the details of drug therapy and allows extension into structurally-similar drugs that may not be covered.
Handy reference.......2006-08-08
I didn't have this book during my P3 (3rd year of PharmD school) year; we used the text by Kradjan that had a patient-based format. DePiro's more traditional format makes it easier to find info quickly. The downloadable format of this text (which comes with the book) makes it even faster to find info. A downside would be books like these are out-of-date as soon as they're published, but I've been using the DePiro just fine for my P4 clerkships and plan to use Kradjan's as a doorstop. (I'm not really a kid)

The text's student focus is extended through General ChemistryNow--the first assessment-centered Web-based learning tool for general chemistry. Developed in concert, the unparalleled integration of text and media provides students with a seamless learning system. Based on extensive user and reviewer feedback, the Second Edition has been significantly revised to meet the content and organizational needs of today's general chemistry classroom. CHEMISTRY: THE MOLECULAR SCIENCE is intended for mainstream general chemistry courses geared toward students who expect to pursue further study in science, engineering, or science-related disciplines.
Customer Reviews:
It's amazing what reading a good textbook actually feels like!.......2006-04-10
Let's be blunt: most science textbooks, especially at the introductory level, are terrible these days. They're filled with fluff, poorly formatted, have examples that don't explain the exercises at all (I shake my fist menacingly at Tipler), and above all, just don't teach the material very well. It's clear the authors understand it (usually), but it's also clear they just don't get how to convey it people who... well... don't.
This is why Chemistry: The Molecular Science is such a surprise. I warily bought it based on the strength of other users' positive feedback about the book, and the text is amazing. The art program is high-quality and actually extremely useful in conveying the concepts. The examples are crystal-clear and each one gives a detailed explanation of the reasoning used to obtain the answer, something so simple yet so lacking in most texts. The pages are well-formatted and uncluttered, making reading flow naturally, and the text is written in such a clear manner as to make reading the chapters actually fun most of the time (but I don't think anyone can salvage the ideal gas law). The material is introduced in such a well-integrated, naturally-progressing manner that the text feels like an overall organic product rather than the usual textbook sensation of one topic stapled to another in a linear fashion. At the same time, its complete clarity and lack of confusion-induction is impressive.
This textbook is a model for what a science textbook should be. I wish more teachers and institutions would adopt this book and give it the attention it deserves, because it really does something with pedagogy that "hard science" textbook authors seem by and large incapable of these days: makes the subject clear, comprehensible, and honestly, fun. I very rarely gush this much about a stupid textbook, but Moore, Stanitski, and Jurs genuinely deserve this credit where it's due.
Great book.......2006-03-02
I thourougly enjoyed the book, however I would have liked twice as many worked example exercises in the book.
one of the best.......2005-05-29
This book explains basic chemistry concepts very well. The chapter on entropy is great. The sequence of the topics covered is generally traditional. I like the idea that the chapter on solutions is placed after the basic concept of equilibrium is covered. Some organic chemistry is integrated into the text. I personally believe that the concepts of acid and base should be extended a little to prepare students for organic chemistry. This book has more pages (~1200 pages) than most other general chemistry textbook available (~1000 pages). I wish the publisher could have it available in two volumes so that it is easier for students to carry around and read it.
Great book........2004-12-16
This is the best general chemistry book I've used so far. It is easy to read. It covers what I need for the MCAT's general chemistry requirements. Good reference book.
Very Very good Text.......2004-07-25
I have a B.S. in Chemistry and am working on my teaching credentials to teach High School Chemistry. I wanted an overall good text for reference. I was searching for one that is readable but not too basic. This text is my choice for the best of both requirements. It has everything you would want in a Freshman College chemistry text. It also has great photos, graphics and tables. It is very easy to read and very interesting. I have not tried the CD ROM that comes with it.
It must not be in favor right now. I bought my copy in great condition at a used texbook store (w/CD-ROM) for $21.95. (July 2004)

Med/Surg Text Review.......2007-08-27
This is a very thorough text for nursing students and nurses who want to keep up with the latest changes in this field. It is one I will keep for my career. However, its usefulness is limited because it is so heavy, I need a llama to carry it. I end up using other references because they are easier to keep on hand when I am writing papers, etc. more than 10 feet away from the book, which is usually always.
What a Load!.......2007-07-04
This book has a great format...well written and easy to understand. There are some great focusing tips at the end of each chapter such as "Critical Thinking" and many up to date charts that instructors love! I give this book a 4 because of the weight...it is really hard to carry from class to class. One might want to buy this book as two...they're selling them this way now.

This is a true study guide and will help not only in preparation for exams but will help understanding the textbook better.
The Standard by which All Obstetrics Texts are measured.......2004-07-15
There is perhaps no medical specialty that has more misconceptions, "wives tales" and variation than Obstetrics. Williams Obstetrics is more exhaustively comprehensive than any other text for general Obstetrics. Williams has long prided itself on presenting "evidence-based medicine" - separating the wives tales from medical knowledge obtained from published studies from peer-reviewed journals. Perhaps there are those who prefer their Obstetrics with a little voodoo. For those who want to know the most up-to-date scientifically based Obstetrics, Williams is your book!

This book is used in the course of Business Statistics at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. This is a useful and understandable book. The questions are well-prepared.Also,the statistics program PhSTAT is given with this book. I advise you to buy.
Good, but could be better.......2000-10-20
This book is okay, but it could definitely be better. For a basic statistics class, this book contains WAY too much information to digest in a semester of college. No professor I know of has ever gotten past chapter 8. Further, the problems are quite wimpy as far as the amount of thought required for them. Quite wimpy. Could be better. The only good thing is that for doing it on a spreadsheet, the data comes on a CD, so that you don't have to re-type it, thankfully.

Horrible Seller.......2007-09-23
The seller has refused to return my emails as well as failed to send me my purchase. I have asked for a refund and they have failed to do that too. Therefore, they made easy money without providing me the item I purchased for my current college course. I totally do not recommend purchasing any item from this seller. If you do, you take on the risk of not receiving anything!

Haven't actually used this book yet for my class, but I'm sure it's a great textbook.
What a bunch of schlock!!!!.......2007-06-26
This is a required text for a business class at Lawrence Tech. University in Michigan. It is full of diagrams and charts and basic jargon-filled info that everyone should know without having to spend $135! And this is in the FIFTH edition, so that used books are hard to come by, and the price just goes up. If you are buying it you are probably forced to. So sorry! BORING, BORING, BORING, and just filled with common sense that one should know if one has ANY experience at all.
Maybe this would be useful for a writing course on how to bore students to death and make money by making new editions with little changes.
What a rip-off!

The major areas covered include intensity transformations, linear and nonlinear spatial filtering, filtering in the frequency domain, image restoration and registration, color image processing, wavelets, image data compression, morpohological image processing, image segmentation, regions and boundary representation and description, and object recognition. For software developers working with image processing.
Customer Reviews:
Great Text.......2007-05-12
Great text for learning image processing and using it with MATLAB. Hopefully the instructor also uses its mathematical insight as well.
Superb instructional book for my needs.......2006-04-10
I bought this book for two reasons (a) I needed an overview of IP and (b) I wanted to examine different pattern analysis algorithms with a practical twist. On both counts, as an non-IP researcher, I was very satisfied. The book is very well laid out, so well in fact that it would put to shame many of its rivals. It served my needs. I can't comment on whether it will meet the needs of a broader community. I would certainly recommend it based on my experience.
Practical and Useful.......2006-01-11
This book educates the reader in image processing and MATLAB. While I am experienced in both, I found the book to be an extrememly useful reference book for projects involving image compression and image representation. The book offered practical descriptions and useful code for computing the fast wavelet transform. It was especially useful in describing how the edges should treated. This is a big issue that other textbooks gloss over. I had never seen it described in a textbook, and it was described so well.
The color image processing chapter is excellent, and the image processing chapter is pretty good. Lots of explanation and code.
While the book stands alone, it can also be seen as a useful companion book to the more theoretical "Digital Imaging Processing" by Gonzalez and Woods (2nd edition). This is a different book even though it has close to the same name.
The best of its kind........2005-01-02
If you want to get up to speed on Matlab and plan to use it for image processing, this book is a must.
I have lots of experience in computer graphics and in programming languages like C++ and C#, but prior to reading this book I had never really used Matlab nor implemented complicated image processing algorithms. This book is a great introduction to both.
The book is divided in twelve chapters touching both low-level image processing (e.g. spatial filtering) and higher-level concepts required for computer vision, like image registration and segmentation. Gonzalez et al are talented writers, explaining relatively complicated concepts clearly and concisely, without getting lost in the mathematical details. People interested in the more theoretical aspects should (and probably already have) check their other book.
The only potential downside of this book is that it's definitely designed to be read sequentially, one chapter at a time. The matlab concepts are introduced piece by piece. For example, if you skip Chapter 5 (on image restoration, i.e. getting rid of noise) you may not realize that you missed the introduction to the image registration functions. Personally I liked this style (it added variety to a potentially dry subject), but a reader with less time to cover all of the matter may find this to be a problem.
Digital image processing using MATLAB.......2004-09-02
I gave a DIP class last semester using this book. I found it provided the easiest way to make students acquainted with DIP. Before using this book, I tried Visual C++ for implementation. However, both of us (i.e., students and me) couldn't be satisfied, I guess. Now the implementation is easier than ever, and I can explain more about DIP itself to students.

Not for the uninitiated.......2007-07-07
This is a good book if you already have a foundation in genetics. Oddly, the book is marketed as your basic undergrad genetics text. Yet instead of just explaining the concepts, it leads you on the path of discovery of how researchers figured all this stuff out. If you are still learning the subject, you may do better with Klug/Cummings/Spencer. If you are going into higher levels of biology and want to learn some research methods, this is a good book.

Customer Reviews:
Electrical wiring Commercial.......2007-03-08
Very well written and organized. Supporting diagrams and pictures were very helpful
Very Vague.......2006-02-01
This book is definetly for the student. If you are an experienced contractor looking to broaden your knowledge, keep shopping.
Excellent Self-Study For Young Engineers & Electricians.......2005-08-10
This book was perhaps intended first for vocational school students who will become electricians, but our small professional engineering firm has used it for more than a decade as a self-study professional development course for young mechanical and electrical engineers with design responsibilities for building HVAC systems. We just bought five copies of this latest edition.
The twenty-one units average sixteen pages each and cover all topics needed to calculate and layout the design of a small commercial building. The book even includes a complete set of ten architectural and electrical drawings, so the reader can see what a completed electrical design looks like when ready for contractor bids. It's all here - from the branch circuits for receptacles, HVAC motors, and lighting through the panelboards, and electrical service.
The book has several hundred illustrations, charts, and tables and detailed references to the National Electrical Code.
The author is a licensed electrician and teacher. His coauthor is a professional engineer and professor.
