        Book Description

        A proven and unique combination of learning principles and exercises, this widely respected book continues to get better! Medical Terminology for Health Professions, Fifth Edition, simplifies the process of learning hundreds of difficult, complex medical terms. The see and say pronunciation system makes pronouncing unfamiliar terms easy. Because word parts are such an important aspect of learning medical terminology, mastery of these building blocks is emphasized throughout the book. Organized by body system, chapters begin with an overview of the structures and functions of that system so you can relate these to specialty, pathology, diagnostic, and treatment procedures that follow.

        4 out of 5 stars Great Price; Fast delivery.......2007-09-17

        The book arrived in the condition expected and also earlier than the website estimate. Amazon is one of the best places to shop.

        5 out of 5 stars Great intro to medical terms .......2007-09-08

        I am working toward a Medical Coding certificate/degree, and this is the book we use in my Medical Terminology class. This book is well laid out, there are plenty of illustrations, it even comes with flash cards and an interactive computer cd to help you study. It makes it easy for a beginner to grasp the basic concepts of anatomy, diseases, procedures, and their commonly used abbreviations.

        And this book is a bargain from Amazon. My school sells it for over $100.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2006-11-23

        I am just about finished with my first semester studying medical transcription at a Technical college. This book was required for one of my classes. I love this book. I love the way it is laid out and I especially like the quizzes at the end of each chapter. I found this book to be extremely easy to use and it is written in a way that is clear and easy to understand. I would definitely recommend this book.

                5 out of 5 stars An Introduction to Spanish for Health Care Workers.......2007-07-06

                This is by far the best book in it's field. It is very well organized and presents grammar points in a subtle yet clear manner. The vocabulary is perfect. The compact discs are very clear and accurate. The only negative comment I would have is that it is sad that this book now costs so much, as compared with the original edition. An accompanying workbook would be helpful.

                5 out of 5 stars There's a second edition with a free audio CD.......2003-03-26

                ... The book has been completely revised and an audio CD of the dialogs is included for FREE at the back of the book. Try searching by its full title, AN INTRODUCTION TO SPANISH FOR HEALTH CARE WORKERS and hopefully you will be able to find the MOST RECENT EDITION.

                          Book Description

                          In this book, homogeneous cosmological models whose Hamilton-Jacobi equation is separable are deparametrized by turning their action functional into that of an ordinary gauge system. Canonical gauges imposed on the gauge system are used to define a global phase time in terms of the canonical variables of the minisuperspaces. The procedure clearly shows how the geometry of the constraint surface restricts the choice of time. The consequences that this has for path integral quantization are discussed, and the transition amplitude is obtained for relativistic isotropic models, relativistic anisotropic models (Kantowski-Sachs and Taub) and isotropic string cosmologies. A complete chapter about the application of the deparametrization program to the usual canonical quantization scheme is also included.
