	The Ultimate Study Guide for the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork: Key Review Questions and Answers (Topics: Clinical Pathology and Recognition of Various Conditions) Volume 2
	By: Patrick Leonardi ISBN: 0971999651 Publisher: Silver Educational Publishing Release Date: 10 September, 2005 Bioscience book rank: 57756	If you want a comprehensive book for the NCETM, this is it..expensive <br />but worth it, It is strictly a Q AND A but every question you can think <br />of is listed here..I got this for the muscle section and went over the <br />other body systems as well and feel prepared for the exam,, If you can answer the questions from this book with confidence, you can pass almost any clinical part of massage therapy exam. On the other hand, simply by knowing the clinical pathology, you may not be able to pass either the NY State Board or the National Certificate exam. <br /> <br />I don't think you need to understand every single detail in this book in order to pass either the NY State Board or the National one. (See my other comments on selecting study material if you are interested). <br /> <br />The knowledge provided from this book is far more than as a licensed massage therapist require to know. It's good to know more. But don't be scared if you do not do well on those questions in this book. From my limited experience, I think the exam authorities want to prepare us (massage therapists and body workers) to provide SAFE and effective massage therapy to the public. We are not trained to be a MD. Please don't blame yourself if you are not so good as the nervous system, for example. But you have no excuse for not knowing soft tissue. Massage therapists should be the expert of soft tissue. <br /> <br />Grasp a solid knowledge on muscle insertion and origin, action and related diseases. You will do well! Good luck This volume was extremely interesting. It contains information that every massage therapist should know. Some of the NCBTMB test questions were straight from this book. I found it extremely helpful in my passing the test the first time.

I appreciated the detail the author went into on what is involved in each part of the learning process. This book really has it all!
	Surgery Junkies: Wellness and Pathology in Cosmetic Culture
	By: Victoria Pitts-Taylor ISBN: 0813540488 Publisher: Rutgers Release Date: 15 May, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 257375	Every woman who opts to have cosmetic surgery is likely to incite a variety of knee-jerk reactions regarding her choice and what it says about her. Take, for example, Ashlee Simpson's decision to undergo rhinoplasty, which transformed her nose (and, in turn, her entire appearance) to be more in line with mainstream standards of beauty. Opinions about Ashlee's surgery depicted her simultaneously as vain; as a victim of Hollywood beauty ideals who was duped into changing herself from a unique person into a clone; as a smart consumer who needed to change her ugly nose; and as a free agent who should be left alone to do whatever she wants to her body. <br /> <br />In Surgery Junkies, Victoria Pitts-Taylor addresses these conflicting views and their origins - including feminist theory, psychiatry, television shows, the media, and the cosmetic surgery industry itself. In deconstructing the discourses around cosmetic surgery, she aims to show that the meanings assigned to it are socially constructed and always changing, not fixed and tied to something specific and static within each patient. She is particularly interested in the portrayals and perceptions of women who are seen as "extreme" patients or "junkies" because of the number or nature of the procedures they choose to have. One topic she covers is the perspective, voiced by cosmetic surgeons and reinforced by the reality show Extreme Makeover, that cosmetic surgery is a logical way for people to change the way they look on the outside to match how they feel on the inside, thus creating or restoring their "true" selves. Another chapter covers the medicalization of surgery addiction in the form of the psychiatric diagnosis Body Dysmorphia Disorder (BDD). <br /> <br />Surgery Junkies concludes with a short but illuminating account of the author's own cosmetic surgery experience, a rhinoplasty she had while in the process of writing the book. In sharing her experiences of interacting with cosmetic surgeons and dealing with a range of (predominantly negative) reactions to her surgery, she helps readers better understand her argument that cosmetic surgery should not be thought of as related solely to the existing traits and pathologies of the patients themselves, but rather as part of a complex and continually changing social and cultural framework. Overall, Surgery Junkies is a thorough, well-written and important book with the potential to change the way we think about cosmetic surgery and, in particular, the people who choose to have it.
	Clinical Methods and Practicum in Speech-Language Pathology
	By: M.N. Hegde, Deborah Davis ISBN: 1401891535 Publisher: Singular Release Date: 09 February, 2005 Bioscience book rank: 307142
	Clinical Voice Pathology: Theory and Management

	How to Prepare for the Praxis Examination in Speech-Language Pathology
	By: Kay T. Payne ISBN: 0769301606 Publisher: Singular Release Date: 18 September, 2000 Bioscience book rank: 501422	This book had some good aspects about it (practice questions, info about taking the test). However I don't feel like it prepared me at all to take the test, so quite frankly it wasn't worth the money. Your best bet is to review a little bit of everything you learned in grad school & if your program prepared you enough you'll pass. Good luck While this book addresses all of the cognitive processes needed to take the test, as well as the types of questions the Praxis test MAY have, I found the typographical errors and editing oversights to be distracting. Particularly frustrating examples of this occurred in answer key to the sample test. As I was reviewing, I found that the explanations of some correct answers did not correspond with the letter given as correct. It made me question how many of the others that I did NOT scrutinize, had the same problem. While the book provides insight into the construction of the Praxis test itself, which was helpful, in the end, I did not feel that it boosted my confidence in my preparedness in any way.
	Heptinstall's Pathology of the Kidney (2 Volume Set)
	By: J. Charles Jennette, Jean L Olson, Melvin M Schwartz, Fred G Silva ISBN: 0781747503 Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Release Date: 01 October, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 591618
	Lippincott's Review of Pathology: Illustrated Interactive Q & A
	By: Bruce Fenderson, Raphael Rubin ISBN: 078179580X Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Release Date: 01 August, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 320729	I bought this book as a second year medical student to review for step 1 of the boards. I own the Robbins Review book as well. The questions in this book are good but the explanations are not as thorough as the Robbins Review book where every answer choice is explained. I find that I am able to learn pathology very well with the combo of Goljan Rapid Review and Robbins Review question book. The better explanations in Robbins Review I found really drove home the facts much better than the explanations in the Lippincotts book. <br /> <br />A nice feature of the Lippincotts book not present in the Robbins Review is that it has online access. Strangly however, the online version has parts of each answer missing compared to the printed version. <br /> <br />In short, this is a good book but doesn't match up to the Robbins Review.
