Great Book - good for HR students.......2004-10-13

I bought this book and I recommened it to anyone who is new to Human Resource Management. The book is great and very informative. Supplement the book with other readings though since management is a dynamic area and is prone to opinions and debates.

Book Description

Flowers & Silver MCAT, the definitive preparation guide for the medical school admissions exam, is a thorough and systematic review of all the MCAT science you will need to know to score high. All topics in the physical and biological sciences are presented with learning enhancements like sample problems, labeled illustrations, charts, and diagrams.

To reinforce your knowledge of the material and sharpen your test-taking skills, this guide also includes:

Hundreds of practice questions throughout the book with answer explanations
Simulated MCAT passages just like the ones you'll find on the exam
Worked-out problems that illustrate each concept reviewed
Special sections on MCAT essays and a review of essential mathematics

This new edition of Flowers & Silver MCAT includes a free CD-ROM with more than 1,000 practice MCAT questions. Answering these practice questions will not only strengthen your mastery of MCAT science, but will also provide you with the test taking experience you'll need for success on the exam. There is no better way to improve your MCAT score than with this comprehensive review book and practice CD-ROM.

Customer Reviews:

Good book.......2005-07-11

Gives easy to understand reviews of the MCAT subject matter. Some errors in the book. would not recommend using it if you haven't taken the class first. Lack of practice problems is my main objection.

This book will probably decrease your MCAT score!.......2003-07-28

PLease, do not make the same mistake I did, that is, buying this book 3 weeks before the MCAT to study. This book is inaccurate in many areas at best and insulting to one's intellegence at worst. It only covers about 75-80% of the material you need to know! Unacceptable if you are relying on this for a comprehensive study. Stay away from this one!

An Embarrassment to Princeton Review.......2001-02-16

I can no longer trust this book. At first I thought it was just accidental deletions and sloppy editing, but the outright conceptual mistakes in the subject matter make me wonder about who was writing some of it. It's truly hard to believe that Princeton Review would put out something of this quality but it looks like I'll have to shell out another 60 bucks on a different book. I want my money back!

Decent but not great........1999-11-21

This book explains materials very well and the multiple choice questions are good.However, there are many mistakes especially in orgo. I also found that some topics were completely omitted(like blood groups in Biology)and many other things. The verbal questions were too easy and insufficient

Appalling mistakes in organic chemistry section.......1998-08-04

I am a Ph.D. graduate student in organic chemistry looking to apply to medical schools next year. I came upon a question on p. 739 of this edition that is incorrect in several aspects.

First, the reaction stated in the problem: 1-ethoxy-1-methoxy ethanol + bromide -----> 1-ethoxy-1-methoxy ethyl bromide + water, will not proceed at all. 1-ethoxy-1-methoxy ethanol does not exist as a stable species -- it will decompose rapidly. Say, hypothetically, that the reaction DOES proceed: the product, 1-ethoxy-1-methoxy ethyl bromide, will rapidly decompose as well.

Secondly, of the four multiple choice answers offered, none is applicable to the stated problem.

Lastly, the authors' explanation of the problem is wholly incorrect. The starting material is NOT a primary alcohol and cannot undergo any type of substitution (SN1 or SN2), especially in light of the poor nucleophile (bromide). Again, hypothetically, if the authors had incorrectly named the structure! ,(the only other logical possibility being 2-ethoxy-2-methoxy ethanol, a primary alcohol) the reaction would still not proceed, because the alcohol functionality is a poor leaving group.

I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere for organic chemistry aids for the MCAT, as this book contradicts many fundamental organic chemistry concepts.

Book Description

Lunar Gravimetry: Revealing the Far-Side provides a thorough and detailed discussion of lunar gravity field research and applications, from the initial efforts of the pre-Apollo and Luna eras to the dedicated gravity mapping experiments of the third millennium.
Analysis of the spatial variations of the gravity field of the Moon is a key selenodetic element in the understanding of the physics of the Moon's interior. Remarkably, more than forty years after the initial steps in lunar exploration by spacecraft, the global gravity field still remains largely unknown, due to the limitations of standard observations techniques. As such, knowledge of the high-accuracy and high-resolution gravity field is one of the remaining unsolved issues in lunar science.
Lunar Gravimetry: Revealing the Far-Side addresses all users over lunar gravity information and covers a wide range of topics, including the scientific rationale for and history of gravimetric research; the fundamental ill-conditioning of the gravimetric problem; the prospects of sophisticated observation techniques, such as inter-satellite tracking and gravity gradient gradiometry; the role of regularisation schemes; and the crucial aspect of quality assessment of gravity field solutions. Also described are the first-ever efforts to model the gravity field of the Moon using European satellite tracking data sets.
