                  Book Description

                  The greatest need of anyone with cancer is to understand the disease -- its diagnosis, treatment options, and the often devastating experience of having cancer. In Understanding Cancer, Dr. Norman Coleman explains how to gather information about different treatments and how to interpret that information to make decisions. He helps the person with cancer prepare for visits to doctors and the hospital, and to make those visits as productive as possible. He distills the often complex medical terms and the concepts underlying the statistics and percentages used to characterize medical conditions. With clear, in-depth discussions of pretreatment staging of disease, the biology of cancer, how successful treatment is defined, and how best to manage one's time, Understanding Cancer helps people with cancer become active participants in the decision-making process.

                  Today, people with cancer face more alternatives and decisions than ever before -- a situation that can be daunting, Dr. Coleman notes, but ultimately empowering. While most doctors try to provide complete information to their patients, it's impossible for any health care professional to provide all the detailed information a patient and family really need to make informed decisions about treatment. Although this book does not provide recommendations about a specific medical problem and its treatment, it does explain how the benefits of treatment are assessed, how to interpret the results of those assessments, and how to be a full partner in determining the course of medical treatment. Topics include:

                  * Diagnosis and Treatment: What You Can Expect

                  * Cancer: Where Does It Come From?

                  * Diagnostic Tests and Staging Studies: Gathering Information

                  * Making Decisions about Treatment: How Success Is Measured

                  * Weighing the Long-Term Risks and Benefits of Treatment

                  * An Overview of Conventional Treatments

                  * Participating in Research Trials: What They're All About

                  * Patient Stories: Four Clinical Case Studies

                  * Patient's Checklist

                  "Many similar 'how to' guides have preceded this one. But few have offered the distilled clarity that Norm Coleman offers cancer patients here. In these pages they will find relief in his realistic and understandable explanation about the goals of cancer treatment. He guides the reader through the quagmire of cancer treatment decision-making by making the patient a part of the process. This may seem simple to someone who has not had to endure this exhausting exercise. It is far from simple, and one of Dr. Coleman's outstanding talents is his ability to simplify complex information... This book is written by a physician who has devoted his life to curing the ills of ignorance about cancer. That is his gift to us, his readers." -- from the Foreword, by Ellen L. Stovall, Executive Director, National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship and 26-year cancer survivor

                  5 out of 5 stars The Complex World of Cancer Made Simple.......2006-09-02

                  A few relatives in my family had or have cancer. The book was very helpful in understanding overall concepts about cancer and not just medical terms. A patient gathers data with a checklist which helps in making sense of the info. The oncologist uses that data to steer step-by-step towards a likely diagnosis. From that comes treatment options.

                  This approach is simple and easy to follow. It is also comforting because as data is gathered each day I feel steps are being taken towards recovery. But what I liked most about the book was its human approach to cancer treatment.

                  5 out of 5 stars A phenomenal book - essential for Cancer patients........1999-05-31

                  This book is sensitive, informative, and motivational. It gives insight to patients, helping them understand Cancer and the process which lies ahead of them.

                  5 out of 5 stars A much needed quide for those who are fighting cancer........1999-01-05

                  This book presents in an understandable and caring way the information necessary to make intelligent decisions when faced with cancer.

                                  More than half a million people worldwide are now sustained by renal replacement therapy, mainly hemodialysis at a cost exceeding USD 30 billion per year. Each case of ESRD that is delayed or prevented saves funds that may be applied to other aspects of health care. Edited by an internationally renowned nephrologist, Prognosis for Kidney Disorders provides a timely summary of exciting work in progress directed toward renoprotection and of ultimate interdiction of ESRD. Suitable for researchers and clinicians, Dr. Morrell Michael Avram has collected and commented on promising initiatives likely to enter everyday practice in the immediate future. Suitable for renal trainees, experienced kidney doctors, nurses, nutritionists and cardiologists.

                                    In the ten years since this award-winning book was originally written by Michael Porcellino, the field of astronomy and its discoveries has grown by leaps and bounds. From the astounding images sent back by the Hubble Space Telescope, to the bright comet Hale-Bopp from the fleet of Martian probes, to the long-distance explorations of the Moon, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn--the universe has become more accessible than ever. And thanks to this revised and thoroughly updated new edition by astronomer and science writer, Patricia Barnes-Svarney, anyone with an interest can delve into its wonders. From the very close up to the far reaches of space, THROUGH THE TELESCOPE presents a uniquely "user-friendly" view of the universe, and offers both novice and advanced amateur astronomers some of the best tools available to watch the nighttime skies. You’ll learn all about: * Setting up a good, user-friendly telescope system * How to look at the universe in order to really see it * Upgrading your telescope for peak performance * How to spot a star cluster, a nebulaÖeven a supernova * Forming your own network of amateur astronomers. Complete with a web site appendix and fully updated charts on eclipses and planetary oppositions well into the year 2000, this edition of an acclaimed book will be an invaluable users guide for aspiring astronomers entering the new millennium.

                                    4 out of 5 stars Excellent guide.......2002-02-01

                                    This is an excellent guide for the amateur astronomer, with copious information on both what to look at in the sky and what to buy to do so, including both binoculars and telescopes. It has copious information on every aspect of skywatching, down to the best filters to view the various planets through. It's very supportive of amateur astronomy, consistently pointing out the contributions that amateurs have made and continue to make to the science (one of the few sciences where this is still possible).

                                    Quibbles: a few formatting problems, where the formatting notation shows up instead of italics or whatever was intended. And they repeat the urban legend about Galileo going blind from observing the sun (though admittedly I just recently found out that this is mistaken).

                                    Other than that, it's an excellent book, though more of a reference than a "sit-down-and-read" book, which is what I did with it, at least for now.

                                    Meanwhile, I wonder if some of the other reviews (below) apply to the earlier edition of the book, since I did not encounter the same problems.

                                    1 out of 5 stars A poor excuse for a book on amateur astronomy.......2000-12-14

                                    I pity the novice who purchases this book with the intention of learning about amateur astronomy. The book is a demonstration of what happens when someone rushes it to publication, does not KNOW the subject and builds poorly on a work that wasn't very good in the first place. There are so many terrifically awful errors in this book, it would take another book to document them. Pictures of microscopes where telescopes should be, refractor telescopes described as Dobsonians, etc, etc. The illustration/pictures are also slipshod, out of focus and poorly rendered. I cannot believe a suposedly reputable publishing house could release this "joke" of a text on amateur astronomy. It should be withdrawn from the market NOW and burned. -Richard Anderson

                                    1 out of 5 stars Badly in need of copy editing.......2000-07-05

                                    It's amazing McGraw-Hill let this one out at all. There are typographical and syntactical errors on almost every page. I can't comment on technical accuracy, as I am a beginner at astronomy. But I do know when I've seen the same photograph twice with different, and inconsistent, captions. The publisher did a real disservice to the author of this edition--and to the memory of the author of the original version--by rushing this to market without at least showing it to a copy editor.

                                    1 out of 5 stars Warning: bad book!.......2000-03-04

                                    This is the worst astronomy book I've encountered in forty years as an amateur astronomer! It is full of errors and has some of the poorest illustrations (out-of-focus, incorrectly labeled) I've ever seen in a commercial publication. Anyone interested in buying and using telescopes would be much better served by NightWatch by Terence Dickinson, The Backyard Astronomer's Guide by Dickinson and Dyer, or Phil Harrington's Star Ware.

                                    4 out of 5 stars Excellent reference book.......1999-09-18

                                    As an amateur in astronomy, I found this book very educative. It covers all aspects of astronomy - from naked eye view of the sky to deep space objects, binocular to large telescope obesrvation, etc. Though it was written in 1989, the book will continue to be a reference book to all interested in astronomy.

                                      5 out of 5 stars An easy fun introduction to your telescope and the moon.......1998-01-30

                                      A well written 'how to' for novice astronomers. The book describes pieces of the telescope to seas of the moon in a organized fashion. Chapters are broken out as views of the moon and each attraction is mapped with directions. Historical anecdotes accompany each chapter and give good perspective to what we are viewing. The author respects the reader- there are no excessive words and he assumes intelligence. It makes you want to know more about the moon!
