	Blood and Marrow Stem Cell Transplantation, Second Edition (Jones and Bartlett Series in Oncology)
	By: Marie Bakitas Whedon, Debra Wujcik ISBN: 0763703567 Publisher: Jones & Bartlett Publishers Release Date: 15 January, 1997 Bioscience book rank: 1840031	This book is an excellent resource for BMT nurses. We use it at our center for quick reference, and for training new BMT nurses. It covers diseases that are treated with transplantation, effects of transplant on each organ system, different conditioning regimens and specific side effects common to each, oncologic emergies, nursing interventions, quality of life issues, future trends in BMT, ethical questions, and much more. The 1997 edition differs most notably from the 1991 issue in that the pediatric chapter was omitted. The book is thorough and user friendly, with easy to read charts that organize information for quick reference. I use the book regularly for practice and for teaching, and plan to purchase each new edition that is released.
	My Detour on Life's Highway: The Story of a Stem Cell Transplant Survivor
	By: Rosemary Champagne ISBN: 0965031578 Publisher: Glacier Publishing Release Date: September, 2001 Bioscience book rank: 3553957	I bought this book because my sister has breast cancer and 20 liver tumors. I was very afraid and didn't know what to expect when the doctors said she needed a stem cell transplant. I read this book in one day, then immediately mailed it to her. She is now almost ready for her transplant and I feel like I now know what to expect. It was a great help in relieving my fears. If you or a loved one has cancer this is a very inspiring book to read. It's not to long and very good. I laughed and cried. Wonderful.

	Stem Cells and CNS Development (Contemporary Neuroscience) (Contemporary Neuroscience) (Contemporary Neuroscience)
	By: Mahendra S. Rao ISBN: 0896038866 Publisher: Humana Press Release Date: 01 March, 2001 Bioscience book rank: 2451969	Having just started working in the area of neural stem cell research at the Roger Williams Medical Center in Providence RI, I turned to Dr. Rao's book as a primer on the field. I was delighted to discover that in addition to having excellent content, the book was consistently well-written. As I started to read the journal literature, I discovered that many of the chapter contributors are heavy-hitters in the field. People like Fred Gage of the Salk Institute and Arturo Alvarez-Buylla of Rockefeller University are contributors. Of course, Dr. Rao himself is a major name in the field and contributes to several chapters. I could not give it a full five-star rating because there are a few weak links, such as the penultimate chapter on transplant therapy, which provides little insight. But I wish I were allowed to give it four-and-a-half stars because, overall, this is a great book. After I got mine, two more people in our lab bought copies. I recommend that anyone in the field do the same! Dr. Rao has done the neuroscience community a great service in producing this work. Very useful, very well written.
