	Duncan and Prasse's Veterinary Laboratory Medicine: Clinical Pathology, 4th Ed. by: Kenneth S. Latimer, Edward A. Mahaffey, Keith W. Prasse publisher: Wiley-Blackwell, published: 2003-04-18 ISBN: 0813820707 sales rank: 301786 Product Description Univ. of Georgia, Athens. Previously titled Veterinary Laboratory Medicine: Clinical Pathology, c1994. Textbook provides an overview of veterinary pathology. Provides a problem-solving approach to laboratory data. Discusses such topics as urinary system, endocrine system, and digestive system. For veterinary students. Outline format. Previous edition: c1994. Review Altough complete, updated and deep covering most of the aspect of clinical pathology, exposition of the matter is done in the list form, like a "things to buy" note. It looks like a student's lesson note and the subject is not treated in the usual way a book does, as say with sensed phrases that correlate one to the next following a logical thread. It is more a manual than a book and it is something that is impossible to read one paragraph after the other, and even harder to remember. Anyway it carries a lot of useful information and helped me whenever i needed. In my opinion, the best veterinary clinical pathology book. Great easy to read format. Consise, but providing more than just the basics. Great cases studies in the back that review topics.

	Blaustein's Pathology of the Female Genital Tract (5th Edition) publisher: Springer, published: 2002-02-22 ISBN: 0387952039 sales rank: 640586 Product Description Since the publication of the 1/e in 1977, BLAUSTEIN'S PATHOLOGY OF THE FEMALE GENITAL TRACT has consolidated its position as the leading textbook of gynecological pathology. An essential reference for all pathologists and residents, this thoroughly updated Fifth Edition includes more than 350 new illustrations and 28 revised chapters written by internationally recognized experts.

	Contemporary Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology by: J. Philip Sapp DDS MS, Lewis Roy Eversole DDS MSD MA, George W. Wysocki DDS PhD publisher: Mosby, published: 2003-09-26 ISBN: 0323017231 sales rank: 341839 Product Description This vibrant, full-color text provides the practical and up-to-date information readers need to understand and diagnose oral injuries and diseases. Organized in a consistent and logical format, it includes the latest discussions on oral pathology, as well as key content on neoplasia, immune-mediated disorders, developmental disorders, and oral manifestations of systemic conditions. Providing thorough discussions of the most common disorders, each chapter also includes a list of the recent review articles and classic publications that are related to the chapter's content. More than 900 photos and illustrations of the oral and maxillofacial region are included, and many photomicrographs are accompanied by simple color line drawings to aid in the detection of disease and abnormal cells. Review This is a good reference book for those NOT specializing in treatment of oral and facial pathologies. I strongly recommend another book called Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology: A Rationale for Dioagnosis and Treatment by Marx and Stern because it is replete with excellent photographs, illustrations, and discusses a disease from its pathogenesis to treatment phase thoroughly. (I own this book as well as the one I recommended.) While good in intentions and accurate in information presented, the book lacks clear and concise order and becomes very confusing for the begining pathology student. It also focuses too much on obscure conditions while ignoring more common ones. Very disappointing. Compare with other oral pathology book, this one give a comprehensive information of different kind of pathology such as etiology, definition of each disease, clinical and radiographic findings and treatment. Excallent pictures make you easily got the ideal of that book.
	The Speech-Language Pathology Treatment Planner (PracticePlanners®) by: Keith Landis, Judith Vander Woude, Arthur E.

Documentation Sourcebooks provide the forms and records that mental health professionals need to efficiently run their practice. Review This book is useful for the beginning speech-language clinician, giving examples of long-term and short-term goals for a variety of disorders. However, many of the goals are not objectively measurable, and so, are of little use if taken directly from the book. That being said, the goals presented in the Treatment Planner are definitely a good starting point for the planning and implementation of treatment sessions. I found this book helpful when I did my first clinic in speech pathology in grad school. It showed me how to set up a treatment hierarchy (but I couldn't use the goals as they were because they didn't meet my supervisor's requirements), and some general things to do with clients. You won't use it as often as you use Hedge's resources. If you are a practicing SLP, don't get this book. If you are stocking a clinic library for students in an SLP program, consider it. This book really has a way of being VAGUE. I only gave it one star because there is no zero star rating available. Please be advised that the goals are not written in proper format. The goals do not correctly have normally expressed criterion, reference, the goals are almost always NOT MEASURABLE, the lingo used is not at all the way a goal would be written on even the most basic treatment plan. I was honestly very concerned when I read it and feel very comfortable challenging the authors to revisit it, if they seriously expect it to be taken seriously. This book is a trouble at the very least.
	Pragmatics of Human Communication: A Study of Interactional Patterns, Pathologies, and Paradoxes by: Paul Watzlawick, Janet Helmick Beavin, M.D. Don D. Jackson publisher: W.W. Norton & Co., published: 1967-03-17 ISBN: 0393010090 sales rank: 92091 Review This is not a review on pragmatics of human communication, it is a review on a book. This might be an imperative read when you're working with human beings and/or when you're a pragmatist, but you'd probably already knew everything in it. This is no book for the communication specialist: it will be too disturbing. There is no 'sender', 'no channel' and 'no reciever' in the bbok. It also has no 'message'. It is also not recommended for people who do not want to change. Finally, it is not for lay people, because it is better to live in ignorance than know that a conversation in basically about nothing. The last chapter of this book, which I read over 30 years ago, and still remember to this day, is a true stunner, especially the last sentence. The truth therein is timeless. When I finished it, I remained seated and awestruck for a long time, contemplating a cosmic truth which has never left me to this very day. The specific memory is carved in stone, so to speak. Ever heard of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert Pirsig? Well, POHC goes even further - towards a mathematical truth about our very existence. This book is far more than its title suggests. Quite simply it is the second most important book I've EVER read... and Pirsig's is not the first, either. If you have the intelligence to absorb it, this book will probably change the very foundation of what you call "me"... it will fundamentally challenge your mind. Read it if you have confidence in your OWN intellect. BTW - for a reference point, I was the only student in my class at Western Michigan University who apparently understood the implications of this book. It was a 400 level Communications course with 28 students, and the course was "built" around the book. That human relationships are something mysterious and intriguing is hardly a question. But whether an account of them that is limited by scientific standards can do justice to their complexity and nature is quite another. However, I'm convinced that in this case the subject not only survives the operation - the methodology and presentation don't kill their subject or explain it away - but benefits from it to a rather surprising extent. That is, it achieves the difficult task of being both accurate and rigourous on the one hand and sheading light on the parts of us that have to do with us being human on the other - the thoughts and feelings in our behaviour. This is not only in stark contrast to the behaviorist paradigm dominant at the time this work was written, but marks an equally important departure from the intrapsychic focus of psychoanalysis. Thus the introduction of models based on cybernetic principles, systems theory, game theory, mathematics etc allowed for a completely new dimension in human relations to appear. The new approaches that made it possible and which found so excellent synthesis in "Pragmatics.." are to a considerable extent traceable back to the works of Gregory Bateson. Indeed, it wasn't untill reading his "Steps to the Ecology of Mind" that I came to realize this. However, the relative lack of originality is compensated by the degree of integration and condensation achieved in "Pragmatics" - perhaps higher than any other single writing in "the Palo Alto framework" before or after has (intended) - which naturally exceeds that of "Steps..." - which is a collection of Bateson's articles dating from 1930s to 1970s. So above anything else, the two make an excellent complementary reading.
