Insufficient information.......2007-09-02
Was interested but not being able to see what it actually consists of (view inside) I passed it by and spent $$$ at a brick and mortar store where I could look at what I was purchasing.
Don't need a lot but not being a pro musician I have no idea what is actually in a fake book.
This is the net folks, not a brick an mortar, wake up if you want to sell to me.
Too much of a good thing?.......2007-02-24
I have been playing tunes from this book almost every day since I received it several weeks ago and have only scratched the surface. It has a great selection of songs from the various genres and eras. Lot's of fun stuff. About the only bad things I can say about it are that the book is so big that I am a little worried that the plastic music stand on my keyboard will break off if I really start rocking out and that the comb binding is a little difficult to deal with. The pages tend to jam when you turn them. As far as the tunes go, this is a great collection, one that I look forward to exploring further.
Great book.......2007-02-17
A must have. Plenty of songs to refer to if ever needed. Buy it.
Ultimate ?.......2007-01-10
Well maybe not THE ULTIMATE, but very good selection of oldies, movie theme songs, even turn of the century fun stuff... Having a ball with this one...
Piano Man is two thirds of a page long.......2006-07-10
In Billy Joel Complete Vol. I, Piano Man is five full pages long. In the Ultimate Fake Book, it's about two thirds of a page. Similarly, the sheet music for Webber's All I Ask of You is five full pages, but exactly one page in the Ultimate Fake Book. The Titanic Love Theme is one page in this fake book. I find the comb binding to be strong, and the print large enough and clear and everything is neat and accurate as far as I can tell. I am having SO MUCH FUN playing songs out of this fake book, I can't believe it!!! I'm almost giddy with delight -- I can't believe I'm playing some of these songs that I always wanted to be able to play!!!
Book Description
Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases brings a pioneering interactive approach to the teaching of neuroanatomy, using over 100 actual Clinical Cases and high-quality radiologic images to bring the subject to life. This approach allows students to appreciate the clinical relevance of structural details as they are being learned, and to integrate knowledge of disparate functional systems, since a single lesion may affect several different neural structures and pathways.
Most of the book comprises chapters that explain the major neuroanatomical systems. Each chapter first presents background material including an overview of relevant neuroanatomical structures and pathways, and a brief discussion of related clinical disorders. The second half of each chapter is devoted to clinical cases. The cases begin with a narrative of how the patient developed symptoms, and what deficits were found upon neurological examination. Boldface type highlights important symptoms and signs. A series of questions challenges the reader to deduce the neuroanatomical location of the patient's lesion, and the diagnosis. Discussion and answers follow, and an epilogue reveals the actual outcome.
One of the book's most innovative features is the inclusion of CT and MRI scans that depict each patient's lesion. These radiographs help the reader develop skills in interpreting the same kinds of diagnostic images employed in clinical practice.
The book is intended primarily for first- or second-year medical students enrolled in a basic neuroanatomy, neurobiology or neuroscience course. It is also a valuable resource for advanced medical students and residents, as well as students of other health professions, notably physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, dentistry, speech therapy, and neuropsychology.

The Best Neuroanatomy Book for Beginers.......2007-10-02
Well what can I say?, This book was really a pleasure to read. It covers pretty much of Neuroanatomy and some Neurologic Semiology, always associating an especific anatomic lesion with the Clinical Syndrome found. Figures and charts are very helpful. The way it explained complex stuff in such an easy to read language really surprised me. Of course, it was not intended to be that detailed, but as a first step to get into higher-order stuff.
An amazing book.......2007-10-01
I love this book, beautifully done, practical, the cases are well chosen, developed, explained. For us visual people this textbook is a heaven. I think it is such good value for money considering usefulness, the size and the quality of illustrations.
Needs to be more durable!!!.......2007-08-02
My husband and I are both physicians and LOVE this book. My only complaint is that it is such a large text and gets so much use that our's is falling apart!
Superb text for the medical professional.......2007-06-05
Just the second chapter and the last chapter alone are worth the price. Everything else is a bonus. And such a bonus it is. There are extensive scans and high quality illustrations. Also, each chapter (very nearly) has photos of techniques of neurological examination.
The text is clear, up to date, and related to the nearby illustrations. References are extensive, index useful. For the practicing neurologist or student, this may be the finest text for the purpose. It is geared toward use, not simply scholarship. One doesn't learn everything clinical just on the wards.
There are many case studies laid out as if one were on rounds and was being questioned by the chief. This is a uniquely useful text. Recommended.
Great Book.......2007-05-26
I really found this book useful; especially being in the Neuropsychology field. I would highly recommend this book. Great explanations and pictures. All easily understood.

Very depressing.......2007-10-16
This book resonated so strongly and was the most informative of any I have read (and ive read them all), but it lacked all hope. You really have to personally have experienced all the situations described to understand how words like "manipulative" and the characterization of bp in general would impact someone struggling so hard to make sense of irrational behaviors that in fact do seem to conform to such motives. I felt so demeaned and hopeless, completely objectified. It was overwhelming.
Chapter 1.......2007-09-26
I don't know if this book will be any help to you but it was NOT to me...
My wife only read the 1st chapter, "I HATE YOU..." and then she stopped...
I think she found her answer :)
Great Insightful Book.......2007-08-29
This book was received in the requested time frame. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to get this book, read it, review it and tell others what I discovered.
A Must Read.......2007-08-28
I wish I had known about this book years ago. Knowing how to put up boundaries with a BPD is very valuable. It is right on target.
I Hate you, Don't Leave Me.......2007-06-10
When I first read this book, I had to stop after each chapter..sometimes after each paragraph to cry. At last, there were people who understood and felt what I had been going through my whole life. It was such a relief. The only down side is that the book is a bit dated.
After a few weeks, I got up the courage to show the book to my husband and suggest that he read it. After all, I'm the one with BPD. When I showed him the book, he said, "Oh, our marriage therapist gave me this book to help me understand you better." My only regret is that I didn't learn about this book sooner.

Great Book.......2007-08-26
Great book. Very useful. I have the textbook still in shrink wrap, and the workbook that goes along with it. I want to part with it. Sctops140 at aol dot com for details. I purchased it for a microeconomics class at Beloit College. The workbook helps understand the concepts explained in the textbook.
terrible economics book.......2007-02-23
As many others have noted it contains very few numerical examples. I didnt have the workbook so maybe that would have helped, but so far this book is completely useless. I wouldnt recommend this unless you really love the pure formulas an no examples. If its required i guess its better than nothing
Fantastic Textbook.......2007-01-10
We used this textbook in my intermediate micro class at Cornell University, and I have to say, it is quite possibly the best textbook I've had. I'm more of a math person myself, and this book did a wonderful job of fleshing out the concepts with mathematical examples. Definitely recommended!

THE Textbook of Pediatrics........2006-09-25
THis is THE textbook of pediatrics. I own Rudolphs and Oski's as well. This is the book to buy (or read if you have MDconsult). It has the best diagrams, graphs, authors, and is the easiest to read. Don't waste your time with the minibooks such as currents or the mini Nelson's. Just read this one. You'll be glad.
New Edition Available.......2005-09-17
The 17th edition of the Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics is available now. I have seen it on the publisher's website. This textbook is one of the main physician-level educational sources for pediatrics, and I highly recommend it for the personal libraries of all medical professionals as well as those in training. No matter what your field, there will always be the potential that you will become responsible for caring for a child. However, it is usually best to find the latest edition for any textbook.
In Depth Pediatric Reference.......2004-05-15
When I was on my PA Peds rotation, I often consulted this great reference in the medical library. Now, that I have my own book, I know its value. There is no other Pediatrics book out there that is better than this one. Don't waste your money on less expensive books like Current Pediatrics which doesn't cover half as many topics as Nelson. Also, for a great little pocket books, try Harriet Lane and Current Clinical Strategies Pediatrics 5 Minute Review.
Comprehensive Reference Work.......2003-09-04
The Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics covers just about
every possible subfield in childrens medicin. As
a lot of different authors have contributed, the style
tends to differ a lot between different sections and
chapters.
Some of the chapters, such as the one describing the
immune system, are very technical and only aimed at
the well-versed in microbiology, whereas others, like
the acutely ill child, are very descriptive and make
a compelling read.
NToP is a particularly useful reference work for
those who want to read a good description on a
particular pathology or disorder. It is not written
or intended as a diagnostic aid, but rather as
a starter to bring the reader up to speed in a
particular subject after the diagnosis has been made.
It is also not intended as "the last word" on anything.
For instance, although the pediatric cardiology section is
extensive, you will need rather more to discuss a complicated
case with the pediatric cardiologist at the local university
hospital.
Sadly, some topics are barely touched. Look for sliding
hernia or oesophagitis, for example, and you will be
disappointed.
This book is a useful investment both for medical
practicioners and the loving parents to which it is
dedicated.
Great features, further improvement possible.......2002-01-01
I don't think I need to explain how great the "Nelson's Textbook of Pediatrics" is, so I focus on the features as software.
This product is based on a java applet and for Windows and Macintosh. For each of the chapter, about 30 review questions are available in a multiple-choice format. The answer is not only with alphabetical one, but also with a concise explanation with a link to the textbook. I find this feature very helpful. I haven't checked "Nelson Review of Pediatrics, 2nd ed., Behrman,R.E.CW.B.Saunders , 2000 263p", but the publisher says that this feature is based on this book.
Update service is available. Every time when you launch the program, you are asked whether it checks the updates. Full access to NelsonPediatrics.com for further information is also available, after you sign up on the web site. After all, the support service is awesome.
However, there are some things you should know as windows users, which is why I put 4 stars. First, you are required to use Netscape or Internet Explorer as your default browser. The browser must be new enough, too. Second, you must insert the CD-ROM every time you use this program, since it doesn't install all the files to your hard disk unlike the previous edition. Third, if you are using localized Windows other than English, you may have to replace some files. The procedure is as follows, quoted from the mail I got immediately from the support center:
>The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that we distribute with the Nelson
>product is not the internationalized version. It could be that one of
>the following may address the issue (FIRST BACKUP THE JRE DIRECTORY IN
>NELSON'S INSTALL DIRECTORY):
>1. Download and install the international version of the JRE 1.2.2 (the
>one we use for Nelson) from
>http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/jre/download-windows.html. Then
>copy the installed JRE directory and all contents to the Nelson
>directory, naming it JRE.

>2. Download and install the international version of the newer JRE 1.3.0

Excellent Self Teaching Guitar Book.......2007-09-24
This is an excellent book for learning guitar, even with zero previous knowledge of how to play. No need for expensive lessons. Playing along with the cd is excellent practice. Most songs on the cd have slow and fast tempos. The book is very well written and easy to understand.

- A really nice book. At very first u might think that why its so confusing. But if u know how to read music, its so easy and interesting. I will strongly recommend to go to a guitar teacher and tell him to teach u using this book. After very first lesson every thing will seem so easy to u.
Good luck

I like it!.......2007-08-10
This set is what I expected out of the reviews I have read. It is a very good set for some one who is learning the guitar and wants to beable to read music not tabs but actuall musical notes. I am curently on the first book and it progresses at a really good pace, not to fast and not to slow. The CD's that come with it are very good also because the help you learn how to listen for the sustainment of a note.

Musical ability broad range of muisc still needed .......2007-08-06
Do not assume that there are no sharps and flats in this book just because it advertises for "C" instruments. Even though there are over 1000 songs in the book, unless you are very well versed in music over the past 70 years, be prepared to only relate to about 10 to 15 percent of the songs. If you are well-versed in left-hand chords, including songs with three sharps and five flats, and if you are an historian of 20th centrury music, then this is definitely the book for you. If you are primarily a 1 sharp / 1 flat pianist with only a background in music of the past 30 years, be prepared to be limited to about 10% of the songs in the book. I am not a great pianist, so I struggle with many of the songs. It also helps to be very proficient with beat and timing so that you can work on songs with which you are not familiar. The price of the book is very reasonable, just reduce your expectations to be able to play 1000 songs, unless you are a good musician.
Outstanding Value.......2007-05-14
I consider this book to be an outstanding value for the money. No matter what your age, you will find some songs that you know. The book is BIG, and that is both a plus and a minus. What I did was to split the book into three parts, but first copy the table of contents so you can place it in each section. It's just to big to thumb through and to set on the piano while you are playing. The plus side of this is that you have hundreds and hundreds of songs to choose from.
I have several fake books, and I use this one more than any of them. Look over the index of songs before you buy, and see if there are enough songs that you know. I'm sure you will find enough songs to keep you busy for many months. I use this for piano, so I can't address how useful this is to guitar players and others.
Remember, this is a book that uses chords. You play chords with the left, and the melody with the right hand. There is no bass clef.

Book Description
Incorporating new and updated information, this second edition of THE bestselling text in Bayesian data analysis continues to emphasize practice over theory, describing how to conceptualize, perform, and critique statistical analyses from a Bayesian perspective. Its world-class authors provide guidance on all aspects of Bayesian data analysis and include examples of real statistical analyses, based on their own research, that demonstrate how to solve complicated problems. Changes in the new edition include: · Stronger focus on MCMC · Revision of the computational advice in Part III · New chapters on nonlinear models and decision analysis · Several additional applied examples from the authors' recent research · Additional chapters on current models for Bayesian data analysis such as nonlinear models, generalized linear mixed models, and more · Reorganization of chapters 6 and 7 on model checking and data collection Bayesian computation is currently at a stage where there are many reasonable ways to compute any given posterior distribution. However, the best approach is not always clear ahead of time. Reflecting this, the new edition offers a more pluralistic presentation, giving advice on performing computations from many perspectives while making clear the importance of being aware that there are different ways to implement any given iterative simulation computation. The new approach, additional examples, and updated information make Bayesian Data Analysis an excellent introductory text and a reference that working scientists will use throughout their professional life.
Customer Reviews:
Comprehensive, but not well-written.......2007-01-06
This book is a very comprehensive treatment of Bayesian data analysis. However, it is not well-written. I find Lancaster's book to be much more well-written and interesting to read.
Very Excellent, but non-statisticians should start elsewhere.......2006-06-05
Gelman's book is an excellent and complete introduction to Bayesian methods. It covers a number of topics not touched by other intros I've read, and focuses much more on regression and ANOVA than other texts.
There are two downsides, coming from someone in psychology. First, the book seems to hover between an introductory text and a more advanced one. The topics covered are mostly introductory, but the examples aren't always entirely easy to follow. A tighter integration with the R and Bugs code would help. Perhaps a section at the end of the chapters containing a code example for each topic would be ideal. It's not that the topics themselves are necessarily opaque, but Gelman moves too fast at times, making it hard to think in terms of notation, theory, experimental design AND code at the same time (for those of us constantly thinking about how this affects our own research).
Second, as a general rule, this book is outside the ken of most psychologists. This is unfortunate since the methods are ideal for our discipline, and since many psychologists already perceive a large barrier of entry to statistics. As a psychologist with minimal undergraduate training in stats, I would (and did) start with a standard statistics book like Casella and Berger, and then move on to a gentler introduction to Bayesian methodology, like _Bayesian Methods: A Social and Behavioral Sciences Approach_ by Jeff Gill. Also, you can barely do anything in this book with SPSS so you'll have to learn R and Bugs.
As Good As It Gets For An Intro To Bayes.......2005-10-28
Yes, it is an introduction to Bayesian methods. That means you have to have a very good understanding of classical statistics (at the level of Casella and Berger would be optimal) and then be willing to use the WinBugs program to further your knowledge. A great book.
It is a good book, but not a bible of Bayesian analysis........2005-08-31
[1] A good introductory book, but definitely not a bible of Bayesian analysis.
[2] The example-based introduction may be a try of new generation of Bayesian. Many people, especially the beginners, may like this style.
[3] Some of the authors are good at programming in BUGS, R, etc, so the part of MCMC methods seems worthy to skim through.
[4] The book is suitable for the undergraduate and the first year graduate level.
A good introductory book, but..........2005-01-26
I read the other reviews and agree with them to some extent. This is
a good introduction to applied Bayesian analysis. Lots of
good examples, illustrations and exercises.
If you are the kind of person who learns by way of examples, then
this might be the text book for you. If you are looking for the
bigger picture, then you will be lost here. There is very little in the way
of theory. Why is this the right method? What is gained theoretically
over a frequentist method? What are the theoretical properties of the
proposed approach? To a large extent these kinds of questions remain a mystery.
In terms of flexibility an applied Bayesian approach has some decided
advantages. However, in terms of theory
it's almost as if the authors want you to believe that once
you adopt the Bayesian approach then the benefits of averaging
by way of using a prior will always be the right thing to do.
You could argue that advanced questions like this are better suited for
a more advanced text book. I tend to ask more out of a book.

The Ultimate Jazz Fake Book C Edition.......2007-01-04
This book crams a tremendous amount of music into one book. Is a great reference for anyone playing with a group or by themselves for that matter. I play with three others and they all have fake books similar to this one and we are constantly refering to them. A great source of music.
Memorize this.......2006-12-17
These songs are ment to be memorized. Unlike the Real Book, the Ultimate Jazz Fake Book gives a clear and concise approach to playing many of the standards most know and love. There is some filler, but there is a lot of filler in the Real book, as well. I found this book very helpful while learning to play jazz -- in other words playing and then imrovising over the chord changes given to me in each song. I had a great time with most songs except The Peacocks (Lord, what were they thinking)and Cherokee. I ended up transcribing my own piece for Cherokee. All the others seem to be helpful. If you are a piano player or a guitarist, this book is for you!
The Great Jazz Standard Book.......2006-03-13
There are a few mistakes, but very few. Very good for 625+ songs from the 30's thru the 60's. It's also a classroom in one book for standard jazz progressions. Well worth every penny. If you play the nursing home circuit this is the book.
Poor.......2001-06-10
This is a book worth buying only if you are a singer looking for melody and text to jazz/dixie tunes. The chord progressions are weak, with many faults and flaws. The lineup is poor as well, as the compilation process has forced the songs to be typed with no concern to form etc. No four-bars-per-line here.
