Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Lovely
Nice pair of rewarding content books. Seems a lot for the money. Dated 2015. Covers high value topics well. Studied 50 hours with it so far. Some items I wanted to look up were absent in the index, as expected. Same can be said for anything most likely, for instance Harrison's IM 18e - which I love. I think if you like Harrison you'll like this. I rather expected a CD with it but there isn't one. Disclosure: I don't know other cardiology series to properly compare and am not a cardiologist.

good expert read
Very good text graphic and cover. Abundant in pictures and schemes. Presents uptodate knowledge in cardiology. Also the price is acceptable.


To much for a Residdent (Assistenzarzt)
It's all what you need in the cardiolgy sector. The point is : do you really want a detailt Information about Heart diseases or their physiology?
Than "Welcome to Heart World".

Customer Reviews from Amazon :
Quality with value
Those of you who are in school, know how terribly expensive most books are. But this one is worth every penny, and is actually much less compared to how extensive it is. I paid more for a flimsy lab manual. The authors could charge a lot more for this book. I bought it for an Intro to Occupational Therapy course. I was told by another student, that this book will be used for the entire Master's Program in some schools. It is well worth the investment. It looks a bit intimidating when you see how thick it is, but most chapters are short and sweet.

Best edition in a while

I found the "new" W&S very useful, both in the US and in Finland, where I am teaching for the semester. It has very good case studies, and the latest up to date information. Having seen the Jan Davis videos before, I know that students will find them very helpful. Dr. Gillen's contributions also add to the content in the text.
W&S continues to be the "bible" for occupational therapy education!

Excellent for Occupational Therapy

Its very comprehensive and easy to understand. Chapters are short and not wordy. Overall, an excellent book, something all OTs should have.

Williams obstetrics


簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble):

Williams Obstetrics is the most detailed, comprehensive, and rigorously referenced text on the subject. Written by an author team from the world-renowned Parkland Hospital, the hallmarks of this classic are its thoroughness, scientific basis, and practical applicability for the obstetrician at the bedside. This edition of Williams Obstetrics continues to emphasize the scientific-based underpinnings and evidence-based practices of the specialty. This is accomplished by using incorporating more than 3,000 new literature citations and guidelines from the most trusted professional and academic organizations.
One of the important features of the twenty-fourth edition is a greater focus on the fetus as a patient and an expanded discussion of fetal diagnosis and therapy. This is complemented by more than 100 new sonographic and MR images of common fetal abnormalities. A new reorganization of the text enables the book to highlight more effectively the myriad disorders that may complicate pregnancy.
Williams Obstetrics provides a convenient, clinically relevant text of value to the busy practitioner. The book summarizes important new data that has influenced evidence-based management to improve pregnancy outcomes. Much of this data is conveniently distilled into newly created tables and diagnostic and treatment algorithms. During discussion, numerous sources are cited to provide evidence-based options for patient management. Additionally, nearly 900 images complement the text, many of which are new or enhanced. These include sonograms, MR images, photographs, diagrams, and graphs.
This edition of Williams Obstetrics continues to provide clinicians with everything they need to know about the practice of obstetrics with a level of authority and quality of presentation not found in any other resource.
Customer Reviews from Amazon :
This new edition is well organized and easy to read
Williams continues to be the number one resource in obstetrics. This new edition is well organized and easy to read. It would be great if there were an online version that is more readable and easier to search than Kindle.
So great to have the Kindle version
So great to have the Kindle version! The text is getting too heavy to carry around with each updated edition.
