Medical Manager student edition.......2007-05-06
Im so happy with the book that i recently purchase. Its quick and reliable delivery. Whenever i need a book i always check amazon coz i know i can get it from here. The books are really nice, good and reliable.
Non-Working Disk.......2006-10-10
The disk that came with the book is a data disk only, and does not contain the program that created the data. That is why the data disk is not a workable disk, unless you have The Medical Manager installed on your computer! The book is too geared to be used with the Medical Manager Software Program, and is difficult to read it as a stand alone book.
Version 10.0 is in print now and comes with a CD-Rom which is suppose to have the complete software program and data files so it can be used as it should be, and teach medical billing and office proceedures.

Medical Manager review.......2006-09-16
I am an instructor for the Medical Manager class and have been for over 5 years. I have used almost every version possible with the Medical Manager. This is a fairly good book for students to learn from. As long as the person reads the instructions and then looks at the exercises, they should have NO problems. However, if the person just looks at the exercise and does not read the material, they may have difficulty. Some of the exercise/pictures are different then the actual reading part but not too many. Overall this book makes it fairly simple to learn this program.
not very good.......2006-03-26
Confusing to follow instructions for data entry.
Difficult when errors are made... the student has to get back into the previous units and figure out the correction.
There is an instructor's disk that can bring the correct data in... the student then can continnue from a specific point.
Errors in the student and instructor's text.

CCS CODING EXAM REVIEW - CERTIFICATION STEP.......2007-09-18
Even though I have not yet taken the exam, I have found the book to be an excellent resource before the exam, and will continue to use the book as a reference book after I take the exam. Very user friendly.
CSS Exam Prep.......2007-07-30
The book is very complete as information with many details that one would need refreshing every so often. Each chapter has a test, a very good test I can say. The downfall is the CD; there is no feed back to your answers, only the percentage you achieved. That may not be enough for someone who is trying to learn. We do learn from our mistakes, so no feed back, how would one know what did wrong?
The CD is the downfall for this book.
do not buy this book.......2007-05-07
I bought three CCS review guides to prepare for the CCS exam. This one was NO help whatsoever. I had been studying with my other two books (AHIMA's and Thompson's) and picked this one up the weekend before the test. I liked that it had CCS-like exams to take on a CD. I was studying with a friend of mine so we both decided to take the pre-test. This was the day before we took the exam. I scored -103, yes negative 103 and she scored 30, meaning we both flunked. We were so discouraged. so threw that book aside and called it a day. The CD and the book gave us no hint as to what we did wrong with the test, what we needed to study further. No help whatsoever.
We both took the CCS the next day and passed with flying colors. If we had let this book discourage us we would not now be both CCS certified.
If I could give it no stars I would

Great Buy.......2007-05-15
I recently used this book for a class in college and loved it. The way it takes you through the programs step by step, then takes you through while you actually do it is great. It also gives a wealth of information about terminology and has some nice review questions at the end of the chapters. It covers a lot of ground wihtout actually bogging you down with a ton of work.

This superior text on computer security is extremely rich in information, based on experience, and a pleasure to read. In addition, the author is donating part of his royalties from this book to various charities--initially, a foundation that fights child abuse.
Escamilla begins by exploring intrusion prevention systems--firewalls, user authentication routines, and access controls--and telling how to properly set up such systems. He then describes mechanisms that identify and minimize damage caused by electronic break-ins once they occur. The author covers both system-level and network-level intrusion-detection systems, describing tools that attempt to catch not only outsiders who have broken in, but also legitimate system users who are up to no good.
Escamilla details several anti-intruder tools, including packet sniffers and vulnerability scanners. He describes a lot of Unix hacks and tells what you can do to prevent them from taking place on your systems. Other chapters focus on intrusions in Windows NT environments and what to do when your system is under attack. Escamilla closes with references to other sources. --David Wall
Book Description
A complete nuts-and-bolts guide to improving network security using today's best intrusion detection products
Firewalls cannot catch all of the hacks coming into your network. To properly safeguard your valuable information resources against attack, you need a full-time watchdog, ever on the alert, to sniff out suspicious behavior on your network. This book gives you the additional ammo you need. Terry Escamilla shows you how to combine and properly deploy today's best intrusion detection products in order to arm your network with a virtually impenetrable line of defense. He provides:
* Assessments of commercially available intrusion detection products: what each can and cannot do to fill the gaps in your network security
* Recommendations for dramatically improving network security using the right combination of intrusion detection products
* The lowdown on identification and authentication, firewalls, and access control
* Detailed comparisons between today's leading intrusion detection product categories
* A practical perspective on how different security products fit together to provide protection for your network

Buy the Northcutt book instead.......2000-01-30
This is just not a useful book. Half of the book is not about intrusion detection at all--it consists of an uninspiring general introduction to computer security.
The author apparently has no actual experience in the subject. It is filled with innaccuracies. Confusing 'hash value' with 'digital signature' is a common rookie mistake, but it is typical of the inexcusable lack of precision in this text.
Besides being misleading, off-subject, and out-of-date, it is deadly boring. If you want a hands-on book, get the Northcutt text. If you want an academic and useful theoretical approach, get Amoroso's book. If you want an introductory text on information security, why would you buy a book on IDS?
It is apparent that Wiley badly wanted to publish a book on intrusion detection, and the author was all too willing to squeeze his existing square peg of a security text into an ill-fitting IDS round hole.
Don't be fooled by the name of the book........1999-10-20
Look for somewhere else if you are serious about network security. The content of the whole book is just too superficial !
Jarringly unfocussed and inaccurate..........1999-08-13
I wanted to like this book, seeing as how I've made intrusion detection an important part of my career (the book spends a few pages discussing a paper I wrote), and there are no good offline resources on the subject. Unfortunately, I found little to appreciate in this book, which could have benefited greatly from better technical editing, a sharper concept of what its audience is, and (unfortunately) a better grounding in the subject matter.
The most important problem with this book will be obvious to most readers. Escamilla doesn't address the subject of intrusion detection until midway through the book, opting instead to fill the first half of the book with background information about computer security. This information is presented poorly (and with glaring inaccuracies). Almost all of it is covered better in other books, which readers unfamiliar with network security will need to buy anyways to make the intrusion detection concepts discussed in the latter half of the book accessible.
Unfortunately, the relevant half of the book isn't much better. A confused mish-mash of technologies are presented under the banner of I-D (I know of very few people in the security industry who consider security scanners to be I-D systems), and the most widely used forms of I-D are given scant coverage.
Worse still, the author profiles real commercial I-D systems (towards the end of the book). Apart from the fact that this information was unsalvageably outdated before the book made it to the press, it's also biased. Descriptions of one system span 3 pages, while another merits a single paragraph. Many important systems (which were widely known at the time of this book's release) are not covered at all. And, predictably, most of the details about the commercial systems covered read like marketing material, with almost no comparisons to the other systems covered.
Although this book is a mess, it's not an unrecoverable one. The authors descriptions of Do-It-Yourself intrusion detection on Unix systems is competant, if not revolutionary, and is almost reminiscent of Cheswick and Bellovin's work in _Firewalls_and_Internet_Security_. A better informed, more coherent second revision of this book would be worth looking at.
Unfortunately, there's very little to recommend this book. A critical and informed reader might get some value out of it, but nothing that couldn't be obtained more easily from the Internet. At its worst, however, this book can be misleading, and is thus an inappropriate introduction to its subject. Overall, a deeply flawed book. Steer clear.
Rambling and fragmented - of little use to novice or expert.......1999-04-16
Computer security is a subject that one either loves or loathes. To the lover, it is a stimulating, intellectual challenge. To the loather, it is based on boring, complicated maths with the sole aim of preventing users doing their job.
In such a world, any author of a book needs to decide whether to write their work at the techies, thus jumping straight in at the deep end, or the novice, offering a gentle primer that attracts the reader into the subject. The very best computer security books (Schneier; Stoll; Garfinkel and Spafford) have clearly attacked one path. The worst have headed off somewhere in between.
Escamilla has chosen the latter - with the usual, dire consequences. Aimed at `any computer literate person' the book is notionally divided into two parts, one to introduce basic concepts of computer security, and another to describe intrusion detection systems. However, neither part meets it aim. The first occupies more than 150 rambling and often inaccurate pages. Moreover, it strays into territory well beyond `any' person. For instance, ten pages are devoted to the Kerberos authentication protocol. Indeed, so long is the `introduction' that the author, almost apologetically, has to keep reminding the user that the book is about intrusion detection.
The second part fares little better. It forages around scanners, network sniffers, covert channels, Unix and NT adminstration, again under the apologetic guise of intrusion detection. Some intrusion detection systems are described - RealSecure, NetRanger and so on - but in a brief and fragmented manner, which offers little in the way of practical, consumer guidance. Possibly the worst aspect of the treatment is that no coverage is given to what a typical audit log looks like - which would at least help justify why intrusion detection systems are needed.
The most useful piece of advice offered in the book is not to consider buying an intrusion detection system if you haven't invested in more basic tools like a firewall. The most useful piece of advice that can be offered about the book is not to consider buying it.
Valuable help to the data security professional........1999-04-08
This is a book with a lot of content, capable to give valuable help to the data security professional. As often happens today, the title is somehow misleading, being in this case reductive in relation with the actual content. In fact, the first of the three parts the book is made of (half of the total 348 pages) is a good recap of traditional protection models. Identification, authentication, access control and auditing are covered, both conceptually and with reference to market available tools. The idea is to let the reader have a sound grasp of traditional devices before showing, in the second and third part, how Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are a complementary must to the traditional protection models. Both UNIX (various flavours) and NT operating systems are taken in account. The second part introduces IDS both working philosophy and practical usage. They are divided in three main categories: vulnerability assessment scanners, system level devices and network sniffers. Also in this case UNIX and NT scenarios are considered and several market leader tools are devised with a certain detail. Integration of IDS with traditional security functions (discussed in part 1) is covered. Despite all your accuracy in deploying a protection system (including IDS), you could be hit! The third part of the book introduces you in the incidents handling phase of the story, giving you advises about what to do and not to do in such not desirable event.

Excellent book on RSI.......2006-11-10
This is by far the best source of information and guidance on RSI that I've ever seen. It's the only book (along with dr. Pascarelli's books) that explains the true causes of RSI symptoms. It will help you understand what's happening to you if you have RSI, and it will help you manage your symptoms and find appropriate treatment. It's a must-have book if you live in an area or country where RSI specialists are hard to find.
Career saving.......2006-07-13
When I was managing a software development group, a programmer on the team showed up at work one day with wrist braces. Turns out typing had become agony for him. He read this book, then diligently and conscientiously followed some of the recommended practices (strength training, yoga, serious workplace ergonomic changes). The wrist braces are gone, and his career has been saved.
You can't fix anything just by reading a book. You *can* fix things when you understand the problem and have some ways to combat it. This book can give you both.
Excellent Resource.......2006-02-20
I bought this book after all the glowing reports and am happy to say it lived up to my expectations. Just improving my posture (one of the suggestions) has helped with my RSI.

Recommended for Understanding RT; for Dosimetry etc.......2003-07-29
Understanding various aspects of RT in a concise manner from the experts themselves is very appealing. The editors have done a good work of collating the best from the minds in the advancing fields of RT, 3DCRT, IMRT, brachytherapy and STRT. All these topics are presented with contrasting Isodose profiles and respective techniques; give a good grasp of the subjects that form the basis of today's best work aimed for in established radiation oncology treatment centers.
The important aspect of the book is in keeping it simple to understand. This is great and emphasizes the use of the techniques in practical terms rather than in a less appealing theoretical concept.
I recommend it to every dosimetrist, like myself, RTs, oncologists, and even medical physicists. A must have for every upcoming student in Radiation Oncology. Thanks to Dr.Khan and Dr.Potish.

An average book on treatment planning in radiotherapy.......2000-04-02
In my view not the best book by this author. The previous book Physics of Radiation Therapy described in minute detail the fundamental physics, and with that was particularly aimed at the novice in Radiotherapy Physics. This book is much more general in nature and provides an overview of what is/should be state-of-the art in radiotherapy treatment planning. However, people active in the field should be familiar with that, and in that respect this book offers not much new. Despite my criticism it is a convenient overview in just one book.
Book Description
The practice of modern medicine requires sophisticated information technologies with which to manage patient information, plan diagnostic procedures, interpret laboratory results, and conduct research. This book, inspired by a Stanford University training program developed to introduce health professionals to computer applications in modern medical care, fills the need for a high quality text in computers and medicine, and meets the growing demand by practitioners, researchers, and students for a comprehensive introduction to key topics in the field. The work is designed for a broad audience interested in the intersection of computer science and medicine.
Completely revised and expanded, the Third Edition (previously titled "Medical Informatics") includes several new chapters filled with brand new material. This book will provide both a conceptual framework and a practical approach for the implementation and management of IT used to improve the delivery of health care. Designed for use by professors and students of medical informatics and for practicing professionals, this book will focus on the role of computers in the provision of medical services. Biomedial Informatics, Third Edition, provides the conceptual base needed to comprehend and utilize medical informatics through easy to understand examples that demonstrate how computers assist in the delivery of health care.

Strong on subject matter.......2007-10-18
I didn't think I'd like this book very much when I found I had to order it for a class I'm taking (Introduction to Medical Informatics). It's fairly dense, but I found that it is dense in a good kind of way. Each chapter reads like a good overview of the subject. As I've progressed through the book I find very little lacking. It offers nearly complete information on every aspect of the subject matter. Someone who didn't know something ever existed before reading this book could come away with a good grasp of the subject and have references to follow up for a more complete view. It doesn't read like literature, but thankfully it is broken up into small easily digestible sections.
There are probably other texts that are easier to read because of style. This one is very strong on content and won't leave gaps. It might have you asking the right kind of question when finished, but that is the whole point, isn't it?
I know it was written by the Father of Informatics but............2007-07-01
Everyone in the field of medical informatics knows Ed Shortliffe. He has done a lot of pioneering work in the field. However, I think this book was just so-so. It is a brief overview of the field of informatics. I found it difficult to read - nothing in the book "grabs" me.
I wouldn't recommend it, really. It may be worth a look because it is authored by Shortliffe.
