Great textbook, though a little difficult for Nursing Students.......2006-06-15

More Medical School grade information than Nursing School information, great on-line content and help-guides.

microbiology review.......2006-02-19

I purchased this book for my Microbiology class and it is very helpful. My teacher uses the same figures and tables as in the book, which are easily readable/understandable especially when you think of each process as steps. My advise is to buy the book if you need to and take advantage of the given website that is given to you in the beginning pages to test your knowledge.

Book Description

Infectious diseases are an ever present threat to humans. In recent years, the threat of these emerging viruses has been greater than ever before in human history, due in large part to global travel by larger numbers of people, and to a lesser extent to disruptions in the interface between developed and undeveloped areas. The emergence of new deadly viruses in human populations during recent decades has confirmed this risk. They remain the third leading cause of deaths in the US and the second world-wide.

Emerging Viruses in Human Populations provides a comprehensive review of viruses that are emerging or that threaten to emerge among human populations in the twenty-first century. It discusses the apprehension over emerging viruses that has intensified due to concerns about bioterrorism.

* Presents the history of emerging viruses
* Includes chapters on SARS, Pandemic Threat of Avian Influenza Viruses, West Nile Virus, Monkeypox Virus, Hantavirus, Nipah Virus and Hendra Virus, Japanese Encephalitis Virus, Dengue and Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses
* Discusses surveillance for newly emerging diseases

Book Description

The present book presents a comprehensive review of Human Herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) infects up to 90% of the worlds population and can cause potentially life-threatening diseases. Clinicians typically do not search for HHV-6, and if they do, they will find only few laboratories providing the necessary diagnostic tests that can differentiate between active and latent infection. Adding to this problem is that scientists still disagree about whether serological or molecular assays will be the best diagnostic test, yet there is no disagreement about the inadequacy of many of the currently existing assays. Consequently, our knowledge of etiology and pathogenesis of HHV-6 associated diseases can only come from the combined efforts of clinicians, virologists, molecular biologists and pathologists. It is the prime task of this book to summarize the status quo of HHV-6 research and to further stimulate such a collaboration. It will be a valuable reference for both clinical and basic scientists including epidemiologists, virologists, practicing clinicians and infectiologists, pathologists and essentially all scientists entering the field of herpes virus research.

Microbiology: A Human Perspective

ASIN: 0072978376

Book Description

This book covers studies on a wide range of materials, from clusters to nanostructures and quasicrystals, the emphasis being on understanding how the size-dependent properties change from discrete quantum conditions, as in nanoscale clusters, to bulk conditions that are insensitive to boundaries. The technological applications of clusters, nanoscale materials and quasicrystals are also addressed, including the nonlinear optical properties, mechanical behavior, catalysis, cluster lamps, electronic devices and possible applications of fullerenes.P The book deals with the following topics: preparation and characterization atomic and molecular structure stability and fragmentation electronic, optical, magnetic and thermodynamic properties molecular dynamics simulation melting cluster reactions and catalysis cluster-support interaction cluster assemblies cluster involving C60 fullerenes technological applications

Book Description

Solid State Chemistry meets the need for an authoritative account of the properties of inorganic solids and the methods for studying them, written at a level suitable for final year undergraduates studying the subject as a special topic or for first-year graduate students embarking on research in the field. This second volume deals with the electronic structure and bonding in solids, and then focuses on several important classes of inorganic compounds.

Book Description

An easy to read survey of data analysis, linear regression models and analysis of variance. The extensive development of the linear model includes the use of the linear model approach to analysis of variance provides a strong link to statistical software packages, and is complemented by a thorough overview of theory. It is assumed that the reader has the background equivalent to an introductory book in statistical inference. Can be read easily by those who have had brief exposure to calculus and linear algebra. Intended for first year graduate students in business, social and the biological sciences. Provides the student with the necessary statistics background for a course in research methodology. In addition, undergraduate statistics majors will find this text useful as a survey of linear models and their applications.

LOVE THIS BOOK!!!.......2005-11-30

This book has many cultures, languages, and themes. I did not get bored with this one!

Around the world in stories.......2004-05-21

"The Penguin Book of International Women's Stories," edited by Kate Figes, is an anthology with a truly global sweep. Authors from every continent except Antarctica are represented. The stories represent a healthy variety of approaches--humor, horror, fairy tale, the grotesque, satire, realism, etc. There is also an excellent variety in terms of story length, ranging from a 50-page entry to stories of only 4 pages, with a nice mix of lengths in between. At over 460 pages long, it's a hefty collection.

I'll mention a few of the highlights. "The Jewess," by Irene Dische of Germany: About a German-American's trip to Germany to deal with his inheritance, this is a disturbing piece that deals with family history, Jewish identity, and the shadow of the Nazi era. "Nineteen Fifty-Five," by Alice Walker of the USA: About the relationship between an African-American female singer-songwriter and a white male performer, this is an interesting meditation on art and creativity. "A Wilderness Station," by Alice Munro of Canada: The story of a frontier wife, told in fragments from multiple voices. One of the longer selections, it's a fascinating and richly peopled story. "Distant View of a Minaret," by Alifa Rifaat of Egypt: Compact but deliciously ironic glimpse inside a marriage in Cairo. "In the Family," by Maria Elena Llano of Cuba: Macabre, witty, and humorous tale about a mirror with a supernatural power. "Broken Transformers," by Bi Shumin of China: a very down-to-earth story about the impact of an expensive child's toy on a financially struggling Chinese family.

There are many other memorable stories; other countries represented include Russia, Botswana, Japan, France, Australia, and others. A rich variety of themes are covered. I really enjoyed this book and recommend it for college courses, book discussion groups, or individual reading.

Can't we talk about something else for a change?.......2001-04-03

I like anthologies because they usually expose me to authors I wouldn't have otherwise read. I got that from The Penguin Book of International Women's Stories; however, instead of reading stories by women about women, every single entry was a woman's story about a man. I expected from the title to read about something other than men, and was therefore a bit disappointed.

I did find endearing prose in "Hairball", and "You're Ugly, Too", and was pleasantly surprised by the suspenseful nature of "The Bloody Chamber". So to sum up, the book features an inappropriate title introducing some good stuff about a tired old topic.
