Missing manual series by Pogue are excellent references. Switching is 50 pages shorter than the OS X Yosemite book but covers much of the same content. Focus is helpful to Windows sufferers who have decided to jump ship. Returned my copy from due to shipment damage from poor packaging. Will buy today for $10 more from Barnes.
As a DOS and Windows user for 30 years, I found this manual to be well focused on the essential contrasts tween the PC and the Mac. Once I plowed through it, I was navigating a new Mac Book Pro with confidence. It has a thorough and accurate index, which is essential for quick look reference. I like manuals and this is a particularly good one.
And a fun read, too.
This is an invaluable book – to me, at any rate. It has information everywhere. To use it, I have had to read it in pieces and continually refer back to it. What is missing is a chapter on comparison of the underlying structures of Mac and non-Mac (primarily ‘PC’) systems. The move away from a strictly hierarchical structure in PC’s etc. allows greater flexibility is storing and retrieving information and it would help understanding by showing a comparison of how tithe same task would be carried out in each system.

I agree that this is a good read for anyone who is new to hospital patient care. It can be difficult for a new grad to understand the emotional roller coaster that a patient can be on as the result of a hospital admission. And not all but most newcomers to hospital care also tend to be very young and usually haven’t ever been a patient themselves, except for maybe having tonsils taken out.
However, as a hospital clinician of many years, I found the author to be a little too self absorbed and ego centric for my taste, especially the parts where he seems to think that everyone should tolerate his unacceptable behavior no matter what. It seems to reflect the patients of today who have an unbelievably entitled attitude when they enter the hospital, as if they check their manners at the door and consider it a free for all. I’ve experienced the younger and younger patients get ruder and ruder and it makes me glad that I’m less than 10 years shy of retirement.
I’ve had 13 surgeries myself, have been in pain that had me climbing out of my skin, but never felt the need to scream or swear at people. In my opinion, there is NEVER a situation that gives a patient the right to be verbally abusive with ANYONE who is trying to help them (except for severe dementia cases where the patient has no idea where they are in the first place and are usually terrified.)
I did tough it and finish the book, but it went directly into the sell-back bag. Definitely not a keeper.
Marcus Engel writes this wonderful, insightful experience into how it feels to be a patient in today’s American Health Care System. He highlights that one single person, one touch, one kind word from a caregiver can make a profound difference in the life of a patient. Kudos to Marcus, every Nursing student in America (and every Medical student), as well as practicing healthcare providers should read!!
Glancing over the cover of "The Other End of the Stethoscope", I noticed two things: first, inside this book would be 33 "insights" for excellent patient care; and second, the picture of the man in the stethoscope bell. I was intrigued. I wondered how this man with the dark sunglasses on the cover was going to impart pearls of wisdom through his writing to me – a wide-eyed and anxious first-semester nursing student. I was instantly pulled into Marcus Engel’s story of loss, pain, recovery, and perseverance as soon as I turned the first page. I couldn’t put the book down. I gleaned so much from his anecdotes; each chapter telling of different attributes and traits that I wanted (or didn’t want, in some cases) as I started on the road to becoming an RN.
This book is definitely a must read for anyone in the health profession, or anyone thinking about getting into the health profession.
I’d also like to add if you have the chance to attend one of Marcus’ speaking engagements, please don’t pass on the opportunity! Download The Other End Of The Stethoscope – 33 Insights for Excellent Patient Care 1st Edition Download PDF

I was trying to find a useful item to compare DSM-IV and ICD-10, and this is not the best way!
For any doctor’s office, this is a great transition book. Helped crosswalk all the codes for a public agency. Although ICD-10 continues to advance, this helped tremendously get the ball rolling.

Huh? How did this loser book get such good reviews. It is clumsy. And for those you who are, like myself, professors, just know that this thing is toxic. You’ll get to create all of your own homework questions. There are homework questions at the end of each chapter, but – surprise – students couldn’t do all of them from the narrative in the chapters. They’d have to make things up by themselves. Maybe that’s why the text includes answers to the questions on the next page. Yes, you read that right. The "homework" is already answered in the text itself, so of course assigning the questions is out of the question.
Give this thing a kick for me when you see it.
Filled with typographical errors, such as the one on page 385, in which the writers forgot to add 3 zeros to the end of a number, thus completely ruining the point they were trying to show us. I find it ironic that the error was in an equation designed to teach us how to accurately calculate costs, in order to make budgets. Each chapter is filled with more confusing formulas than college accounting 1 and 2 combined.
Not only are the in text questions only slightly related to the actual narrative presented in the relevant chapters, the questions from the test bank are similarly ambiguous. Most of my students were unable to complete more than half of the problems accurately because the book provides no clear basis for understanding of the material. Possibly the worst healthcare finance textbook I’ve encountered in my career.

This is not an completely unbiased review. Having "caught" a bad case of Type 2 diabetes a year ago I quickly discovered Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution: The Complete Guide to Achieving Normal Blood Sugars and followed his (still somewhat controversial) ketogenic diet plan, and began to devour as much information as possible on low-carb diets. Although I found inspiration from many places (including Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health (Vintage), and Dr Feinman’s blog), the more I read, the more I came across Phinney and Volek.
Their companion volume The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living: An Expert Guide to Making the Life-Saving Benefits of Carbohydrate Restriction Sustainable and Enjoyable gave me the best possible practical guide and scientific justifcation for pursuing a low-carb lifestyle, and gave me the confidence to reduce my HbA1c from 10.2% to 4.5% (a properly non-diabetic number).
However, as a keen runner training for a half-marathon, I had still had significant concerns about attempting endurance events without resorting to carbohydrate fuelling that would disrupt my ketosis and aggravate my diabetes.
I am a great admirer of the work of the authors Dr. Jeff Volek and Dr. Stephen Phinney who I am privileged to call personal friends of mine. These two men have done some of the most extraordinary research into the health benefits of low-carb diets in the past few decades and deserve an enormous amount of respect for their contribution to the world. They teamed up with Duke researcher Dr. Eric Westman on New Atkins for a New You in 2010 and then released their phenomenal book The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living in 2011.
As a follow-up book to the latter release, Volek/Phinney wanted to share some important information about how a high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet is an excellent way to maximize athletic performance by advocating for athletes to get into a keto-adapted state in this book THE ART AND SCIENCE OF LOW CARBOHYDRATE PERFORMANCE. And for the niche audience of trainers and athletes wanting to choose the low-carb path to maximized performance, this book is excellent.
However, there is a section in this book that I believe includes invaluable information for EVERYONE who wants to be as healthy as they can possibly be. Beginning on page 89 in the "Personalization" chapter, Volek/Phinney discuss "finding your ketone zone" and encourage people to begin measuring their blood ketones using a monitor very similar to a blood glucose monitor.
For those new to low-carb but with some exercise experience, this book explains both how to follow a good low-carb diet in plain English, and also how to achieve great exercise results while doing so. For long-time low-carbers, it offer tips to fine-tune your keto-adaptation.
I think there’s a special audience for this book as well – women. Many women who’ve tried every other diet eventually try low-carb and are delighted with the results. Yet after a time they may plateau. How to break through? Exercise!
But how to exercise when low-carb? Most exercise books will tell you serious exercise is impossible without carbs. So a lot of women don’t expand beyond their usual walking or light yoga. This book should help reassure women that endurance and resistance exercise is possible & helpful. It definitely puts the "carbs are necessary for exercise" myth to rest.
How to use your already existing keto-adaptation to your maximum advantage? Low-carb books will tell you that you need to exercise, but they don’t help explain why exercise plus low-carb is uniquely effective. This book does.
Exactly how deep in ketosis are you now and would getting more deeply into it improve both your weight-loss and exercise? Drs. Volek and Phinney tell you how to figure this out for yourself with an inexpensive glucometer, which will remove a lot of frustrating trial-and-error.
Finally women can see how dialing their carbs up and down affects their level of ketosis, allowing them to measure and control their keto-adaptation to support their personal weight and exercise goals. The book closes with some snapshots of intense athletes, including a 60-year-old female low-carb marathon runner! Download The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance Kindle Edition PDF
