Customer Reviews from Amazon:

Excellent resource
When I initially received my copies of the new Sternberg I was concerned that the volumes' lighter weight would translate into deficits in content. After using the new edition during two busy months on the surg path service, however, I have found it to be even more substantive than its predecessor (apparently we can thank the new edition's improved portability to slightly thinner pages and smaller text). Because I store my old edition at work and my new copies at home, there have been multiple instances when, after initially reviewing a section while previewing at the office, I have returned home and been met with a more reader-friendly and content-rich review in the new edition. Even without these improvements the new edition would be worth purchasing for the images alone. The quantity and quality of the images are greatly improved from the previous edition, and the photographs almost uniformly lack the awkward blue backgrounds, poor contrast, overbearing fuchsias etc. that plague so many pathology publications. While some readers have taken issue with the changes in tone and areas of redundancy inherent to a multi-authored book, I have found it far more reassuring to take advice from the experts in each field than from a single source. I have minor complaints about certain subtopics, most notably the portion on vascular tumors of the bone, but overall have found the new edition to be an excellent investment.

great book
This is an excellent book. It is helpful to have a single reference for the vast majority of your needs in surgical pathology. Obviously, it can't be everything. You sacrifice consistent style for the variety of authors -- similarly this translates into some sections being easier to use than others. Also, at times I want more pictures, but then this is not an atlas. Overall, I have found most of the sections to be of high quality, with good information and good pictures. I am very happy with my purchase. Recommendations for the next edition: 1. even more pictures 2. even more charts comparing diseases or features 3. inset boxes with key features in each disease

The Gold Standard: Completely Revised
I can't believe I'm the first to write a review for this new edition that's been out for months. I searched online before purchasing recently to find if anyone had a review comparing this with the sixth edition and came up empty. I ended up purchasing after browsing a copy that a colleague had purchased. This edition is about 100 pages shorter than the sixth edition across both volumes (3100 vs 3200). However, the two volumes of the seventh edition stacked together manage to be a solid inch less thick. This seems to be achieved with a slight, acceptably smaller font, as well as notably better quality paper. What's truly impressive about this revision is the addition of color throughout... lot's of color pictures and graphs, as well as borders that generally make the book much more visually stunning. I can't comment on the extra online features that come with the pricier version, but this version gives searchable online fulltext like the prior edition. The few chapters and sections I've read seem to have been edited much better and I think this text is in general much more approachable than the last edition. In my practice, I've previously reviewed Barash or Morgan/Mikhail for brief matters and only consulted Miller when I wanted to really delve into a topic. With the way this edition reads, I'm solidly in the Miller camp and will use this as my primary reference.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging

簡介(Book Description from Amazon)：
This textbook provides a true introduction to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which has become the dominant research technique in cognitive neuroscience. Although there is extraordinary interest in fMRI among researchers, instructors, and students alike, its instruction has faced a set of challenges. Existing texts are targeted toward practicing scientists in the field, and assume a level of expertise not possessed by most students. Furthermore, most students do not have access to fMRI equipment and data, so they have no opportunity to gain hands-on experience. This textbook overcomes these limitations by presenting a comprehensive overview of all aspects of fMRI, designed with undergraduate students, graduate students, and beginning researchers in mind.
The book progresses through 15 chapters. It begins with an introduction to fMRI and its history, principles, and technical requirements. The following several chapters cover the physics of fMRI, with careful attention devoted toward relating abstract concepts to research applications. Subsequent chapters cover the basic biological properties of the fMRI signal, including its spatial and temporal properties and its variability. Systematic discussions of research design and experimental analysis are included, and will be of particular interest to the many students with graduate or medical school aspirations. The book ends with discussions of future directions for fMRI, not only in terms of advances in understanding the brain and methodological improvements, but also in the integration of fMRI with other research techniques.
Included with every copy of the book is a comprehensive CD-ROM containing study questions for each chapter of the book, suggested lab exercises, fMRI data sets including both functional and anatomical data, a tools section, and compete glossary.
The authors' goal was to create a book that is sufficiently scientifically rigorous for researchers in the field, but also accessible enough to be easily read and understood by beginning students. All chapters are copiously illustrated, with key terms described in a marginal glossary, and have annotated lists of references. The book can be used as the primary text for classes in fMRI, or as a secondary text for cognitive neuroscience, research methods, or other courses.

The prefrontal cortex

( 點選圖片可預覽部份內容)

簡介(Book Description from Google)：
This is the fourth edition of the undisputed classic on the prefrontal cortex, the principal "executive" structure of the brain. Because of its role in such cognitive functions as working memory, planning, and decision-making, the prefrontal cortex is critically involved in the organization of behavior, language, and reasoning. Prefrontal dysfunction lies at the foundation of several psychotic and neurodegenerative disorders, including schizophrenia and dementia. * Written by an award-winning author who discovered "memory cells"-the physiological substrate of working memory * Provides an in-depth examination of the contributions of every relevant methodology, from comparative anatomy to modern imaging * Well-referenced with more than 2000 references

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

THE book on the PFC
This is your one-stop shopping for all things prefrontal. It does not get more definitive than this.

The Executive of the Brain
This is a comprehensive update of the undisputed classic on the prefrontal cortex, the brain's vanguard of evolution and the control center for the human agenda. It is what allows us to invent the future and to make it present. Here is the outcome of a unique exercise in analysis and synthesis, from a vast empirical foundation built by five generations of clinicians and neuroscientists. It examines in depth the contributions of every relevant methodology (over 2000 references), from comparative anatomy to modern imaging. From this thorough analysis emerges a dynamic and integrative view of the prefrontal cortex. At the apex of the perception-action cycle, the prefrontal cortex steers the temporal gestalts of behavior, language, and reasoning toward their goal. The author is the discoverer of the "memory cells," the physiological substrate of working memory; in recent years awarded the International Fissen Prize (2000), the Goldman-Rakic Prize from NARSAD, and the Miller Prize from the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (2006).

Meyler's side effects of psychiatric drugs

(點選圖片可預覽部份內容)

簡介(Book Description from Google)：
Elsevier now offers a series of derivative works based on the acclaimed Meylers Side Effect of Drugs, 15th Edition. These individual volumes are grouped by specialty to benefit the practicing physician or health care clinician.The unwarranted effects of medications used in psychiatry can adversely affect a treatment plan. This book is critical in helping psychiatrists and mental health professionals assess the adverse effects of drugs such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, hypnosedatives, and antipsychotic drugs.The material is drawn from the 15 th edition of the internationally renowned encyclopedia, Meyler's Side Effects of Drugs, and the latest volumes in the companion series, Side Effects of Drugs Annuals. Drug names have usually been designated by their recommended or proposed International Non-proprietary Names (rINN or pINN); when those are not available, clinical names have been used. In some cases, brand names have been used.This volume is critical for any health professional involved in the administration of psychiatric mediations. Surpasses the Physician's Desk Reference © by including clinical case studies and independent expert analysisComplete index of drug namesMost complete cross referencing of drug-drug interactions availableExtensive references to primary and secondary literatureAlso includes information on adverse effects in pregnancyThe book is divided into six sections:Antidepressants - A general introduction to their adverse effects, followed by monographs on individual drugs and groups of drugs (including lithium)Neuroleptic drugs - A general introduction to their adverse effects, followed by monographs on individual drugsHypnosedatives - A general introduction to their adverse effects, followed by monographs on individual drugsDrugs of abuseDrugs used to treat Alzheimer's diseasePsychological and psychiatric adverse effects of non-psychoactive drugs

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

It is very good. chapter about anticonvulsivants used as a psychiatric drugs would make it better
This book is very good and useful. The contents (of psychiatric drugs) includes antidepressants and lithium, neuroleptics, hypnosedatives and a "drug-drug interactions" for each drug. There is not a section about anticonvulsivants used as mood stabilizing agents. I think it could make the book better, complete Otherwise, there is a very good section about drugs of abuse (a good surprise for me), a section about drugs used in Alzheimer desease and psychological/psychiatric adverse effects of non-psychoactive drugs. I recommend it.

Invaluable material; essential tool
This book gives a response to the increasing interest in side effects of psychiatric drugs. The association of some antipsychotics with different cardiovascular reactions, the withdrawal of certain antidepressants for security reasons, along with the possibility of better treatments for patients when side effects of medications used are known, have contributed to this interest. Meyler's Side Effects of Psychiatric Drugs is organized by sections: antidepressants, neuroleptic drugs, hypnosedatives, drugs of abuse, drugs used in Alzheimer's disease and psychological and psychiatric adverse effects of non-psychoactive drugs. For each section, there is overall and general information presenting the main features of the group and the different adverse reactions; then, there is information corresponding to the individual drugs with the same scheme. In this manner, the book is easy to use and information is easy to find. The editing is fantastic and has been performed by the expertise of Jeffrey K. Aronson, editor as well of Meyler's Side Effects of Drugs, a remarkable book whose first edition was published in 1952 and remains unique in the world for his quality and the vast amount of data included. Now, Meylers's Side Effects of Psychiatric Drugs, with advanced knowledge and the same quality and thoroughness, expands the scope of the preceding work to the field of psychiatry making this book more oriented to clinical practice. Thus, an invaluable material is delivered for psychiatrists and other clinicians interested in an update in this transcendental field. When compared to other traditional reference books such as PDF or BNF, Meylers's Side Effects of Psychiatric Drugs provides more comprehensive, evidence-based information, and a more critical approach. In summary, Meylers's Side Effects of Psychiatric Drugs is an essential tool for those who want to keep updated and to have an in-depth knowledge of the safety problems associated with drugs used in psychiatry. - Alfonso Carvajal, Professor of Pharmacology, Universidad de Valladolid

Meyler's Side Effects of Psychiatric Drugs
For several years, Aronson has edited multi-authored volumes of side effects of medications. These volumes, produced annually as the "SEDA" (Side Effects of Drugs Annuals), are the basis for this volume, which is focused on psychotropics and their side effects. Other contributing material derives from recent expositions of psychotropic medication adverse reactions. Meyler was a physician who was treated for tuberculosis at the end of World War II and who developed fever and deafness from this treatment. Meyler noted that there was no single volume that clinicians could use to determine side effects of medication, and he proceeded to publish such a book. The current text is a summary of recent findings regarding effects, side effects, and drug interactions of psychotropic medications. Meyler's Side Effects of Psychiatric Drugs is divided into 6 major sections: Antidepressants (including lithium); Neuroleptic drugs; Hypnosedatives; Drugs of Abuse; Drugs used in Alzheimer's Disease; and Psychological and Psychiatric Side Effects of Non-psychiatric Drugs. Anticonvulsant mood stabilizers are also discussed. Each section is very comprehensive regarding the clinical uses of the class of medications, the side effects to be anticipated, drug interactions, long-term effects, and effects of drug overdosage. Compounds within a class are separately noted, and medications used throughout the world are discussed. There is an excellent and useful index, and each section has an excellent and up-to-date reference list. I looked up my favorite medications and found the descriptions quite complete. I also learned quite a bit by reading the selected chapters. I think that Aronson has compiled a very useful and clinically important volume. The material is quite important for clinicians who use psychotropic medications, and I believe that Meyler's Side Effects of Psychiatric Drugs will be a useful addition to the libraries of practicing clinicians. Although the current tendency is to find drug side effects and interactions through an internet service, this volume, in its completeness and ease of use, provides much more information than one would find on the internet.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

Great - but must WARN you...
just received this book yesterday and I've been thumbing through pages and really enjoying the information and things I've found. However, when I was reading reviews here before it was purchased, I never found anyone warning about the content. I've read lots of John Douglas books, but he's never actually put photos in his books that people would call disturbing. This book, on the other hand, has some SERIOUSLY disturbing pictures in it. If you think you really want to go into the field of criminal profiling and that you're really ready to see these pictures, then fine - get it. But I can guarantee you that if you're still not sure about this career, I would recommend buying a much tamer book on profiling. This book is for those who are seriously considering doing this, or for those who really are on the road to having careers in this area. The pictures really took me by surprise, and coincidentally gave me a very restless night. I wasn't prepared for such images! So just a warning: It's a great and very insightful book, but if you have a weak stomach, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT get this book. If you really think you can handle the content, it is a wonderful book that will teach you lots.

Great Book
Having been a Corrections and Police Officer and a student in offender profiling and forensic science this is a great book. If you are a lay person and looking for an "instruction manual" on criminal profiling this is NOT the book for you. Turvey provides a very critical, yet well suported review of the state of criminal profiling as it exists today. He offers a fresh insight into the field. If you are a professional investigator or law enforcement or corrections profesional and want to seriously study criminal profiling then I highly suggest you purchase this text and take his courses.

Criminal Profiling
This book was excellent as it started out with the history of Profiling and then took the reader through the process in a chronological methodology to ensure an understanding of the subject.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

Finally, a complete text for clinical trials
All medical fellows and especially PhD post-docs engaged in biological research should have this text. Whether or not, they think that their research will lead to a human clinical trial, this text describes in excellent detail how to think about tasks requisite to human experimentation. There is no other text which includes the arcana of human trials from designing experiements, to regulations, and even what documentation is needed to move a therapeutic regimen to market. While one would expect such a text to describe experimental design methods such as pharmacokinetics and sample size calculations, this text explores such topics as how to work with venture capitalists compared to private equity firms and philanthropic organizations. The book is lucidly written with great illustrations accompanying the text. Even the paper stock is pleasant to handle, which I find a rarity anymore. My only complaint, and it is minor, is that the order of the chapters does not seem to follow a logical sequence. Everything is there, but as I read the book from the beginning, I found chapters in the middle which I thought should have been in the earlier sections. While it is a minor complaint, I would suggest that a fellow should seek the advice of her specialty chief about which chapters to read first. The book could easily serve as a year-long text for a course in theory and conduct of clinical trials. From my 20+ years of experience as a principal investigator and executive of a clinical trials firm, I would require this text for everyone participating in human trials. I only wish I had this text 30 years ago when I was a fellow, it would have saved me a lot of time wandering in the confusing miasma of science and regulations conducting clinical trials.

A great introduction to this field
I really like this book because it's the only one I've found that really surveys and explains what clinical and translational science is all about. This "new discipline" resembles what used to be called medical research in human beings, but now it has become much broader, in order to overcome two gaps (T1 and T2) that stood in the way of progress. Clinical and Translational Science reaches all the way from the basic science laboratory, across the "Translational 1" (T1) gap to testing in patients and then across the "Translational 2" (T2) gap to introduction into public health and community engagement. The book provides an excellent introduction to the essential disciplines that enable the student to come away with a very complete picture of how medical research happens ... what is required to make discoveries, how to carry them into clinical trials, how to navigate the regulatory and bioethical environment, and how to take discoveries into the community. Everyone involved in the medical discovery process, clinical research, the drug industry, or public health will need to have this book. If you're interested in a career in medical research, I think this is the place to start.

Outstanding Contribution
An outstanding primer on clinical and translational research by renowned experts in the field. Comprehensive and well written, this book is a much needed addition to the literature on this timely subject. Anne Klibanski, M.D.

Excellent resource
As a resident in training I found this book to be an incredible resource. I particularly appreciated the information contained in the the Appendix under the section titled "Please don't make my mistakes." Experience is the best teacher and nowhere is this more evident than in the practice of medicine. A wonderful text and a smooth read.

Best overview ever of spine conditions!
Having practiced general/trauma surgery for 23 years and served as a V A Compensation and Pension Examiner for 9, I find this to be the best overview of anatomy, physiology, pathology and proven treatments of spinal cord and spine conditions that I have ever read. Drs. Bartleson and Deen have sought a middle ground for treatment of such disorders growing out of their teaching for many years a course to neurologists who wished to learn more about the many spine conditions which disable so many of our patients. This well referenced 14 chapter work arrived by mail order two months ago. It is a quick read considering the tremendous volume of useful information contained therein. Several times already, I have referenced the book in providing medical opinions. The illustrations are stellar. This is a "must read" for any practitioner treating spinal cord and vertebral spine conditions. Patients can learn a lot too.

A masterpiece in Emergency Medicine
Here as before, the authors have brought Emergency Medicine to a new height. This book, like the last two editions, revamps the subject in a form that is readable, and to the point without the superfluous "fluff" seen in other books. It comes in two volumes (instead of the three like prior editions). On-line access is a definite plus when I am at work and can't haul around a big fat textbook. I can search for things on my computer. I totally recommend it. It is one of my 'must haves' in my armamentarium of EM.

簡介(Book Description from Google)：
With the increased emphasis on reducing medical errors in an emergency setting, this book will focus on patient safety within the emergency department--where preventable medical errors often occur. The book will provide both an overview of patient safety within health care--the 'culture of safety,' importance of teamwork, organizational change--and specific guidelines on issues such as medication safety, procedural complications, and clinician fatigue, to ensure quality care in the ED. Special sections discuss ED design, medication safety, and awareness of the 'culture of safety.'

Orthopedic massage

簡介(Book Description from Google)：
Fully updated and revised Orthopedic Massage has been written for those interested in understanding and applying massage as an intervention for soft-tissue disorders. Recent research into the physiological effects of massage has strengthened the justification for its use in the treatment of soft-tissue pain and injury conditions. Orthopedic soft-tissue problems are common among the general population, whether from sports, occupational activities, or chronic pain. This text presents a comprehensive and in-depth look at the physiological nature of these conditions and the massage treatments most effective for their relief. A particular contribution this text makes is its validation for the role of massage in treating orthopedic conditions. In addition, it aims to help the clinician understand the relationship between the soft tissues to which they apply their techniques and the overall orthopedic disorder affecting their clients. Although written chiefly for massage practitioners, the lessons it teaches are relevant to any practitioner who is concerned with the treatment of soft-tissue injuries.

Orthopedic Massage
This book was a great resource for my class on orthopedic massage at Cortiva Institute. I like the way she divides the book into areas of the body. Muscles are reviewed, assessments explained, cautions pointed out and treatments suggested. Homework for clients is also suggested. I highly recommend this book for someone entering the field of massage therapy.
