a very interesting books that provide an insider's view, hope more books like this could be put on market

Intelligent Insightful Information.......2000-05-03

I have been reading Michael Brush columns for years and his flair for writing intelligent straight forward editorials and articles is not only educational for the amatuer investor, it is remarkably insightful, honest and right to the point captivating the interest of investment pro's. I highly recommend this book as money well spent (and invested)

Great Book.......2000-02-04

Great book and invaluable resource. Wish I had it a few years ago when I started investing. It would have saved me a lot of money. The book is full of useful market insights that can only come from those who are there every day. I particularly liked the chapter on what to do when stocks blow up, since it is too easy to get scared out of a good position in times like those. Likewise, the chapter outlines the typical sell off scenarios that are actually great buying opportunities, and it tells you how to identify them.

Book Description

Small Animal Diagnostic Ultrasound outlines the basic physical principles of ultrasound, as well as imaging artifacts and the use of ultrasonography, in a logical body-systems approach. This second edition is completely revised and up-to-date, detailing current developments in ultrasonography. Two completely new chapters on thoracic and musculoskeletal ultrasound, as well as revised coverage of cardiology, CT/MR, and the reproductive system make this edition even more useful and clinically relevant. Full-color illustrations and color Doppler images of abdominal organs enhance and clarify discussions in the text.

Customer Reviews:

great one to have.......2006-11-10

Great book! If you are serious about ultrasound than this is the book to buy!

Invaluable practice reference.......2000-07-29

Nyland's Veterinary Diagnostic Ultrasound is an invaluable addition to my hospital library. I was initially introduced to this volume as a fourth-year Veterinary Student in Radiology/Ultrasound. After graduation, I made sure to purchase a personal copy for reference in private practice. It is filled with easy-to-understand illustrations of different imaging views of the heart and abdominal organs. I recommend keeping a copy of Nyland within easy reach of the clinic ultrasound for quick-reference during scans.

Veterinarians highly recomended me this book.......2000-07-10

It is easy to read and great to start studying ultrasound in cats, dogs and horses!

summation about this book

An excellent introductory book.......2000-08-01

This text looks a little thin for $ 99 but once you look at the quality and number of its pictures you realize that it is worth every penny. I missed a more detailed description on how to take radiographs as great as the ones the authors show, and the part on ultrasonography might be a little more comprehensive. Or maybe it is that the part on radiology is so darn good than nothing else can match it! If you need to learn radiology, buy it and enjoy yourself for hours by looking at the beautiful pictures and reading the excellent descriptions.

Book Description

This CD-ROM adds the critical element of real-time viewing of sonograms in small animal practice. Small Animal Ultrasound on CD-ROM reveals anatomical structures exactly as they are seen via sonography on examination -- providing a realistic approach to learning ultrasound in veterinary practice as well as a superb method for confirming clinical diagnosis. Whether used with Small Animal Ultrasound or with other existing texts, CD-ROM software brings otherwise static images to vivid life. The disk contains approximately 100 sonographic images, including normal and abnormal anatomy.

Just Pictures on the CD ROM.......2000-12-14

I was expecting at least a synopsis of the book that would be searchable and give verbal guides as well as pictorial recommendations of techniques. This is just a pictorial supplement. The pictures and cine-loop presentations are nice, but this is not helpful to someone who is trying to perfect image acquisition and quality. If you do want this CD ROM for your collection, I recommend also getting a text so that questions which you may have will get answered. The CD does not address probe angle for any view, nor does it address technique as far as removing artifact. If your like me, you will want more of a reference than just a collection of pictures. the quality of the pictures is excellent. The ease of installation is a plus, as long as you do not have computer conflicts.

The images are horrible!.......1998-01-23

This is an unfortunate effort in that the ultrasound images that ought to be the highlight of this text are just simply inadequate. Far to many of the ultrasound images are too bright and lack resolution. They do not clearly demonstrate the various lesions. In fact, anyone who uses this text to learn either what a diagnostic image is, or how to interpret an image will be sorely disappointed. The exceptions are the cardiology images and the reproductive images. The text is okay, but with the poor images I would look elsewhere.
